Episode description

Euronews spoke with Frontex director Hans Leijten, discussing the importance of safeguarding fundamental rights, calls for the agency to suspend its mission with Greece and working with NGOs. What exactly is Frontex's role in border guarding? Should it do more to protecting migrants' lives?


This episode also takes you to Poland, where the Three Seas Initiative Summit is starting, bringing together the leaders of 13 EU member states located between the Adriatic, Baltic and Black Seas, and their strategic partners. Finally, research shows that European leaders may be overestimating citizens' trust in new technologies.
