Please join Hudson Institute in welcoming Reinhard Bütikofer, German Member of the European Parliament and Vice-Chair of the European Greens/Free Alliance Party, for a discussion on Europe’s emerging foreign and defense policy in the aftermath of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Mr. Bütikofer, who chairs the European Parliamentary Delegation for Relations with China, is a longtime critic of Germany’s Ostpolitik and a noted champion of human rights, and was sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party in 2021 in part for his passionate defense of the Uyghurs. He will be joined in conversation by Hudson Walter P. Stern Distinguished Fellow Ken Weinstein.
