Politics meets the people with Viviane Teitelbaum
from Women Leaders
What happens when a politician faces an audience of people, of citizens? This episode of Women Leaders brings you that reality, in full.Full Circle, a Brussels based organization connecting ideas with the power to act, organised a great Ideas to Action Day in which over 80 people came together to discuss the state of the world and how to find ways to making it better. Issues were raised, problems discussed, and true angst revealed — often about the digital space, social media, isolation, alienation and the failures of both politicians and national institutions. So far so good for an opportunity to sound off, but then came the surprise: a real live politician came to answer all the questions raised, in front of the audience, and we hosted the exchange for this episode of Women Leaders.Viviane Teitelbaum, Member of the Belgian Senate, is the politician in question, and she gave a remarkably candid account of political life in democracies in the modern age. And let us be clear: she is a Belgian but her audience, as well as her answers, were true to all modern working politicians. From violence in life reflected in cyberspace to identity politics, from the complexity of reality to the complexity of explaining it, and from citizens assemblies to ways of voting, this is a conversation that really challenges a politician while also revealing modern political life as it really happens.This episode was recorded on 5 April 2025MentionsThe Digital Services Act (DSA)FollowViviane Teitelbaum X/Twitter, Instagram, Senate profile page, Women Political Leaders websiteFull Circle website, LinkedIn, Instagram, X/TwitterIlana Bet-ElInstagram @women_leaders_podcast European Leadership Network Twitter, LinkedIn & websiteCreditsProduction: Florence FerrandoMusic: Let Good Times Roll, RA from #UppbeatContribute to the conversation with a comment & a 5-⭐️Reach us on our Instagram and follow for updates @women_leaders_podcastWatch now our episode on Youtube Hosted on Acast.
