Brussels is broke and has no operating government, but does anyone care?

On this edition of “Brussels, My Love?”, we sit down with Belgian politics expert Lauren Walker. Born and raised in Brussels, she explains why the city has now gone 559 days without a government — and what that means for the people who live here, and for Brussels’ image abroad. With the region’s deficit forecast to hit €1.6 billion by year’s end, the stakes are high and in this episode we check what’s going wrong, and how does this affect locals and the European Union’s institutions? Brussels, My Love? is Euronews' weekly podcast hosted by Méabh Mc Mahon, giving you all the context you need to make sense of the European Union (EU).From plans to transition from an economic trading bloc to a military powerhouse to bans on tofu sausages, you’ll discover how EU laws are debated and created, along with sharp analysis from some of Brussels’ brightest minds.Do you want to get in touch?
