Centre for Civic Education (CCE) tonight hosted the lecture of Filip Kovačević PhD, on: “American presidential elections: already seen, or something new?”
Filip Kovačević PhD analysed the relation of powers on the American political scene with regard to presidential elections scheduled for November. He presented the main components of Democrats’ campaign, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and of the Republicans, Donald Trump. He particularly reviewed on economic and social factors which motivate the affiliation of American voters. He estimated that the situation in the US is concerning politically-wise, due to the presence of serious structural economic issues and the unwillingness of ruling political elite to address those issues in an adequate manner.
