The Eurovision Debate on 15 May 2014 marked a historic moment as the first live televised debate among candidates for the next President of the European Commission. Hosted in the European Parliament plenary chamber in Brussels, the 90-minute event was broadcast in 24 languages across TV, radio, and websites continent-wide. Notable candidates including Ska Keller, Martin Schulz, and Guy Verhofstadt debated in English, while Alexis Tsipras spoke in Greek, and Jean-Claude Juncker in French. Monica Maggioni, a seasoned Italian journalist, moderated the proceedings. Strict participation criteria ensured representation from each of the officially recognized political groups, fostering a dynamic and inclusive discussion.
