Description

For decades, Europe relied on Transatlantic partnerships to guarantee its security. But the world has changed. With growing global instability and shifting alliances, we must take security into our own hands. In this episode, we delve into how the EPP Group in the European Parliament is spearheading efforts to create a true European Defence Union. 

You'll hear from leading voices in the European Parliament about what’s at stake, what’s being done, and why the time is now for Europe to turn defence into its next great integration project. Because citizens demand safety - and Europe must be ready to deliver. 

Listen to this episode with: 

  • Manfred Weber, Chairman of the EPP Group 
  • Nicolás Pascual de la Parte, EPP Group MEP and former Spanish Ambassador to NATO 
  • François-Xavier Bellamy, Head of the French Delegation in the EPP Group 
  • Andrzej Halicki, Vice-Chair of the EPP Group and Head of the Polish Delegation in the EPP Group
