43. Far from the madding headlines: The policies shaping Europe’s future

In this week’s episode, Omri, Daniela and Benni step back from the relentless onslaught of madding headlines to discuss some rather consequential decisions that will shape Europe’s future. While global crises dominate the news, crucial EU legislation, from digital regulation to the next seven-year budget, is being finalised with little public scrutiny or media attention. How will the next seven-year budget fund everything from tech sovereignty to enlargement, and why does enforcement of rules like the Digital Services Act matter just as much as the laws themselves? With decisions being made now, we ask whether Europe will step up as a global actor, or if short-term politics will leave us simply fighting for survival another decade? This episode really digs into how decisions made in Brussels will impact YOUR DAILY LIFE, from privacy to paychecks, and why a lack of debate should concern us all. Tune in to understand what’s at stake when Europe acts without the spotlight. It really does matter. This is a public episode.
