The Eurovision Debate, which was the final televised presidential debate, took place in Brussels last night. It was broadcast across 49 TV stations, 39 websites and 10 radio stations across the world, and saw Green leading candidate Ska Keller impress with how she presented our vision for how Europe can and must do better.

European media broadly agree – Ska was one of last night's stand out appearances. Here's a short selection of what people are saying.

 

L'Express

Figure émergente du débat européen, Ska Keller s'est distinguée par son panache et ses phrases fortes. L'écologiste de 32 ans, qui est arrivée en vélo au débat, a demandé davantage de démocratie dans le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne pour combattre l'abstention. "Nous devons débattre tous les jours, pas tous les cinq ans", a t-elle lancé. "Je ne pense pas que les gens n'ont pas le goût de l'Europe: ils s'en préoccupent. Ils pensent juste que leur vote ne compte pas." 

 

BBC

Five rivals for the EU's top job have argued over the economic crisis, immigration and other key issues for the 28-nation bloc in a live TV debate. The party candidates were trying to impress millions of European voters. They are vying for the job of president of the European Commission. The Greens' leader Ska Keller got loud applause in the Brussels hall when she criticised bankers' behaviour.

Libération

Et puisqu’il faut désigner un vainqueur : sans conteste l’écologiste Ska Keller qui a montré que la jeunesse avait faim d’Europe et qui a donné faim d’Europe. Alexis Tsipras a été aussi excellent, montrant que la gauche radicale pouvait ne pas être vociférante.

 

France TV Info

La prestation remarquée : celle de Ska Keller

Avec sa veste verte, sa coupe courte et son verbe haut, Ska Keller, la candidate écologiste, a crevé l'écran. Arrivée en vélo au Parlement, l'Allemande, seule femme du débat et plus jeune candidate au poste de présidente de la Commission européenne, a su faire entendre sa voix au milieu des profils plus austères de Martin Schulz, Jean-Claude Juncker ou Guy Verhofstadt.

C'est elle qui, à plusieurs reprises, a rythmé le débat en utilisant ses "jokers" pour interrompre ses adversaires et répondre à leur argumentaire. Elle a notamment interpellé Martin Schulz sur l'influence des lobbies en Europe, l'accusant d'avoir empêché l'organisation Transparency International de mener une enquête sur le sujet au Parlement européen. 

Sur la forme, la prestation de Ska Keller a donc été appréciée, comme le montrent les commentaires de nombreux téléspectateurs sur Twitter, parfois en désaccord avec les positions de la candidate.

Ska Keller, l'affascinante leader dei Verdi, vince il dibattito tv sulla Ue

E' Ska Keller, la giovane e affascinante leader dei Verdi, la vincitrice del dibattito tra i candidati per la presidenza della Commissione europea che si è tenuto a Bruxelles. Alexis Tsipras (sinistra radicale) ha infiammato gli animi, mentre Guy Verhofstadt (Liberali) si è salvato grazie alla sua simpatia. Martin Schulz (Socialisti) e Jean Claude Juncker (Popolari) hanno invece dato risposte fiacche

 

El Perdiódico International

La dinàmica i jove candidata dels verds, l’eurodiputada alemanya Ska Keller, va insistir a dir que s’havia de col·locar la creació d’ocupació com la prioritat absoluta de l’agenda europea, preservar la protecció social i anteposar els interessos dels ciutadans als grups de pressió econòmica.

 

Abc.es 

Los cinco políticos europeos pasaron de puntillas por los asuntos de política exterior, y coincidieron en la conveniencia de las sanciones a Rusia por su papel en la crisis ucraniana, mientras que Keller criticó las negociaciones de la UE con Estados Unidos de cara a la negociación de un acuerdo de libre comercio e inversiones.

 

Sueddeutsche

Wie schon vor wenigen Wochen bei der Vierer-Debatte der Eurovision war die junge Brandenburgerin wieder das erfrischendste Element, und den anderen Kandidaten war sie nicht bloß deshalb ebenbürtig, weil sie ein kleines Podest zugestanden bekam.

 

Die Welt

Verhofstadt und Ska Keller ist es zu verdanken, dass diese Debatte lebendig ist und einen großen Mehrwert bietet gegenüber den Duellen der beiden aussichtsreichen Kandidaten Schulz und Juncker: Der Liberale und die Grüne fordern die Vertreter der Volksparteien heraus, sie bringen Leben und manchmal sogar Feuer in die Debatte, sie deuten Koalitionschancen in dieser und jenem Punkt an, sie greifen zu ihren Jokern, der ihnen 30 Sekunden zusätzliche Redezeit in der ansonsten festgefügten Abfolge von Ein-Minuten-Antworten erlaubt.
