Josep BorrellEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

In this episode of FEPS Talks, Josep Borrell Fontelles (former EU HRVP, former European Parliament president, former foreign minister of Spain and former chair of the FEPS Scientific Council) shares his opinion about the current challenges which the global disruption pose for the European Union. He explains why it is so hard to forge a stronger, more effective common foreign policy, especially in times of war and the transition towards multipolarity. Josep Borrell advocates a closer coordination of defence policy within the EU, but highlights the risk of losing some of the soft power of the EU on the way. Europe can and must champion multilateralism and international law, in all contexts and geographic regions. He believes that progressive politicians and experts can learn from the Spanish example, and specifically the courageous and principled leadership of Pedro Sánchez. 📺🔊 Available on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcast
