Between a smack and a hard place — Poland votes, Orbán provokes, and Brussels shows its teeth
Manage episode 485698051 series 3012866
Slaps were exchanged — some literal, some political — and suddenly Brussels isn’t just watching from the sidelines.
This week on EU Confidential, we dive into a whirlwind of action across the continent: a presidential toss-up coming up this Sunday in Poland; Brussels turning up the pressure on Hungary over LGBTQ+ rights; and the EU’s rare public rebuke of Israel’s Gaza offensive. Meanwhile, Donald Trump calls Putin “crazy” — but Europe is left wondering whether that means anything at all.
Host Sarah Wheaton is joined by POLITICO’s Jan Cienski, Clea Caulcutt and Nick Vinocur to break it all down.
