Migration, NATO, Middle East - a Spanish special path? in Augsburg

An evening that puts Europe's present to the test

With Europe after work: Migration, NATO, Middle East – a Spanish special path?, the Augsburg City Library focuses on a topic that currently shapes European politics significantly on July 28, 2026. In the open area at Ernst-Reuter-Platz, the German-Catalan political scientist Prof. Peter A. Kraus discusses Spain's course under Pedro Sánchez, which repeatedly deviates from the European mainstream in migration policy, defense spending, and the Middle East question. According to the official announcement, admission is free, and registration is not required; drinks will also be provided.

Political friction as an exciting event experience

This is not about dry headlines, but about in-depth political context. The evening connects current European policy with historical experience, strategic interests, and the question of whether Spain's special path even provides food for thought for Germany. That is precisely what makes this lecture appealing: a clearly focused event management, precise thematic guidance, and an audience eager for context rather than mere opinion.
