See You on Monday!<br />

The event series<br />

invites alumni<br />

to monthly discussion panels in the Community<br />

Space of the International <strong>Alumni</strong> Center. In March<br />

2018, network members discussed the Italian<br />

parliamentary elections.<br />

It is Monday, March 5, 2018. The previous<br />

evening, Italy voted in the country’s<br />

general elections. The vote: populist to<br />

radical. The results: government formation<br />

unclear. While the social democratic government<br />

led by party leader Matteo Renzi is<br />

being punished, the xenophobic party<br />

“Lega Nord” and the anti-establishment<br />

movement instigated by the comedian<br />

Beppe Grillo, “MoVimento 5 Stelle“ (Five-<br />

Star-Movement) received the most votes.<br />

What do the results mean for the future of<br />

Italy as the fourth largest national economy<br />

of the European Union? And how can this<br />

majority voting behavior be explained?<br />

To discuss these questions the <strong>Bosch</strong><br />

<strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>Network</strong> invited those interested to<br />

the iac Berlin Community Space. Around<br />

20 Berlin-based network members were<br />

in attendance. Seated on chairs or cardboard<br />

stools, drink or no drink in hand,<br />
