Extraordinary Agora

As it has been pointed out a couple of time this Agora is to be a special one. Twenty-five years ago AEGEE was founded and that will be celebrated by all the participants. Especially tonight when we'll have the lustrum party. Another memorable moment was the speech of the founder of AEGEE-Leiden during the opening ceremony. She spoke about the way EGEE was founded 25 years ago, and how proud she was now, that AEGEE still exists and nothing has changed: We still believe in the same One Europe and we still try to achieve it in the same way: congresses, meetings, general assemblies and lots of parties.

Even though this Agora is supposed to be a very happy one, I would also like to pay some attention to the tragedy that happened last Saturday near Smolensku. Unfortunately there has been paid no attention to this Polish tragedy that made the whole of Poland mourn for one week. To show their compassion some of our Polish friends here at the Agora do not attend the parties. Hopefully some time will be spent on this issue as it is not only a Polish matter but concerns the whole of Europe.

Opening Plenary

The Opening Plenary has been quite an extraodinary one, as you might have read on Twitter.
Even though the start went quite fluently a couple of delays caused the Opening plenary not to be finished. Also, the Activity Report Sessions have not yet taken place.

The first delay came when the bodies had to vote whether the candidature lists for the audit commission and juridical commission had to be opened again. Unfortunately due to many juridical issues it took lots of time to get the voting done, that only the voting for the audit commission was done. Afterwards it was decided that the canditate lists for the audit commission, juridical commission and for position of the Secretary of the Agora would still be open till saturday morning. So if you still want to candidate: candidate!

The next holdback was a firealarm during the presentation of the Comité Directeur. The entire building had to be cleared and no one seemed to know what was going on. After the firebrigade declared the building safe it was about time for lunch.

Right now the prytannia have started. What will happen to the rest of the Opening Plenary and the Activity Report Sessions we will see. It has not been announced officially yet..
