The Global Democracy Coalition and Political Watch are hosting a night of Democracy Drinks & Pintxos. An exclusive side event of the OGP Global Summit 2025, taking place on Wednesday, October 8, 2025.
In the context of the Open Government Partnership Global Summit, Democracy Drinks & Pintxos will offer an informal space for high-level dialogue. Over Spanish pintxos and drinks, government representatives, civil society, private sector leaders, and thought partners will reflect on how to build a broader, more resilient, and inclusive democratic movement. Discussions will be held under the Chatham House Rule to encourage open and frank exchange.
The evening will combine the spirit of openness with serious reflection. Participants will engage in conversations around the following pressing questions: What kinds of alliances are needed to defend and renew democracy? How do we engage across political, social, and cultural boundaries?
This invitation-only event is designed to foster meaningful exchange, surface fresh perspectives, and encourage collaboration across diverse actors. It is our belief that some of the most impactful initiatives are born not only in formal sessions, but also in spaces where people can connect openly, listen deeply, and imagine new possibilities.
