On April 25, the second event in Foreign Correspondent Unplugged series was held at the Goethe Institut in Washington D.C. with a discussion featuring René Pfister, Der Spiegel’s Washington D.C. Bureau Chief and Charles Lane, Deputy Opinion Editor of The Washington Post and Columnist for the paper’s Op-Ed page. The event was moderated by Jacqueline Pfeffer Merrill, Director of the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) Campus Free Expression Project.
The discussion delved into current political debates on both sides of the Atlantic and explored issues around political correctness and threats to freedom of speech, as well as how current ideological norms are increasingly influencing freedom of expression in the Western world, particularly in Europe and the USA. As we approach the European parliamentary elections in June and the U.S. presidential election in November, understanding the nuances and impacts of the ideological shifts on freedom of speech is increasingly critical.
