As the United States threatens Europe with more tariffs and eyes Greenland, as Russia tests the continent’s resolve over Ukraine, as the planet overheats, where do citizens sense the biggest threat? In her Wednesday state of the EU speech, the Commission president addressed Ursula von der Leyen going big on manning the borders, literally suggesting new tools to better deal with migration, particularly after July’s run on Ceuta, where over two days, tens of thousands of mostly Moroccans overran Spain’s North African enclave.
A blame game ensued, a diplomatic row between Madrid’s Socialist-led government and Italian far-right leader Georgia Meloni, and even the return of border checks in places like Germany where the far-right’s again eyeing inroads in regional elections this coming weekend. Our panel will comment on some of Real Madrid’s top stars refusing a show of solidarity with Ceuta which they say could be misinterpreted as an anti-migrant message. What do Europeans want? And what does an aging population need?
Produced by François Picard, Théophile Vareille, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip, Delphine Liou.
