With just a week to go until the European election and the campaign in full gear, we’re focusing on how the vote will impact key EU policies such as health, energy, climate, technology and defense.
Will they be affected by the shake-up of the bloc’s political landscape and the arrival of new MEPs and commissioners — or will continuity with the policy priorities of the last five years prevail? And what about the money to finance new and super costly defense ambitions and the green transition? Will the predicted surge of the far right affect these dynamics?
To answer these questions, we bring you a special episode. It’s a conversation that took place recently at an exclusive, invitation-only POLITICO event organized for our Pro Connect subscribers — usually under Chatham House rules. It’s moderated by POLITICO’s policy editor Joanna Roberts, and her guests were: POLITICO’s technology and competition editor Aoife White, energy and climate editor Cory Bennett, health editor Helen Collis and Jan Cienski, our senior policy editor and an expert on mobility and defense.
The event was part of our POLITICO Pro Connect “In Conversation with” series, which you can learn more about here.
Finally, we’ll be recording a special livestream edition of EU Confidential on Sunday, June 9 starting at 8:30 p.m. as the EU election results roll in. Register here to watch live!
