The EU Facing up to its Biggest Challenges?

00:00 /

In this short, insightful podcast, Kirsty Hughes discusses three big European questions with top EU expert Dr Nicolai von Ondarza, as 2023 draws to a close. Nicolai is director of the EU and Europe division at leading German think tank, the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) in Berlin. In an end of year overview, they discuss the EU’s big eastward enlargement plans; the EU’s divisions over Gaza; and the risk of a right-wing backlash against the EU’s Green Deal.
