Irish PM says EU must challenge Hungary’s ‘outrageous’ vetoes
Season 2, Ep. 171
•
In an exclusive interview with Euronews, Ireland's Prime Minister Micheál Martin urged the European Union to crack down on what he calls Hungary's "abuse of vetoes". He discussed what tools could be used, Ukraine's accession to the bloc and Hungary's recent ban on public events by LGBTQ+ communities such as Pride.
We also look at strategic talks between the Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and defence industry CEOs in Brussels. Finally, after decades of rapid development in digital literacy, the pace in Europe has slowed dramatically. Where is this situation most problematic?
