338 days without a government: Can Brussels break the deadlock?
Episode description
Radio Schuman spoke with outgoing Brussels Mobility Minister Elke Van den Brandt about Brussels being without rule for almost a year, how this damages Brussels' reputation, and hurts locals. Why it is so difficult to come to an agreement? And will there be a re-election?
We also head to the Western Balkans for the start of European Council President's four-day tour as part of diplomatic efforts to keep candidate countries on an EU path. And finally, Europe’s rapidly ageing population is posing an existential threat to the continent’s healthcare system. Which countries are worst affected?
This episode of Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Lauren Walker with journalist Maïa de la Baume. Audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
