The University of Murcia and the Regional Assembly of Murcia organize this Friday, February 8, the 'V National Interuniversity Parliamentary Debate UMAR', which will take place in the plenary hall of the Regional Assembly of Murcia (Cartagena), at 10 hours.
The debate, which in this edition will focus on gender violence, will host different champions of debate tournaments both in Spain and worldwide, such as the Galician Aida Gonzalez, winner of the 'University World Championship of debate in Spanish 2016' and best speaker of the world 2017. The teams will be formed by students from the University of Murcia, the Autonomous University of Madrid, the Compostela Debate Club-Autonomous University of Barcelona and the Galician Debate Association.
The dynamics of the tournament establishes that the participants will not know the specific motion to debate until fifteen minutes before starting, since it is an exercise in improvisation, rhetoric and argumentation.
They will have to prepare a debate that will simulate the English parliamentary activity, in which they will propose and criticize a concrete proposal on gender violence.
The event was organized by Luis Gálvez, professor of Constitutional Law and director of the UMU Debate Room, and Francisco Javier Torres, president of the UMU Debate Club.
Both have stressed that there is no better place than the parliament to carry out a debate of these characteristics, since it is the nerve center of the political decisions and the life of the citizens of Murcia.
