🗣️ Transcrição automática de voz para texto.

Welcome to the State of the Union from Brussels defense security autonomy this vocabulary has become almost a mantra in the speeches of EU leader since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 the European commission finally announced this week the first ever defense industrial strategy although it expands existing initiatives to produce ammunition and

Jointly procure arms it won’t set up the 100 billion EUR fund that was previously promised but it is a first step that couldn’t be delayed any longer said the European Union’s Chief Diplomat peace is no more a given unhappily the war is to borders and the Russia war of aggression

Has brought a great sense of urgency to step up our industrial defense capacity this one of the people most likely to keep talking about this is the president of the European commission who will put defense at the top of her message in the campaign for the elections Uso fion was chosen by the

European people’s party as its main candidate at the party Congress in Bucharest one of her opponents is one of her underlings the commissioner for employment and social rights Nicholas Schmidt he was chosen at the Congress of the party of Europeans socialists in Rome a few days earlier both made

Promises on the basis of their electoral manifestos where issues such as climate change and economic inclusion also figured prominently however the shadow of populism is likely to remain over much of their messages just as it did at the congresses they want to trample on our values and they want to destroy our

Europe and we the EP will never let that happen what is the project of the extreme rights do they have a project except they want to destroy Europe at EP is standing for Europe strong and secure peaceful and prosperous Democratic and united we want a strong Europe we want a United Europe

We want a Europe for Eon a strong economy unbel in addition to delegates guests and journalists the congresses are also attended by political analysts who gather information for their studies one of them in Bucharest was Tona laash with whom news invo Shand Jiro spoke to discuss the two main party strategies in

The runup to June’s election first of all we are at the EP Congress and we have seen the speeches how to defend Europe from illegal migration and how to support Farmers how far did the European People’s Party change in the recent years so uh on the one hand uh yes there

Is a change but on the other hand we know that the EP has been uh in any way advocating for the farmers course for the Investments for the trade policies however taking into account the pulse and the rise of far right which is evident and uh I think the parliament

Own projection as well is projecting that indeed we will face a a sharp turn within the European Parliament also influences the way and the content of the EP Manifesto and we have seen it now we have urula feran as the lead candidate of the EP and Nikolas Schmidt

Is the lead candidate of the social Democrats two people from the European commission how could they approach average Europeans in the campaign I think that uh they need uh to uh to inde did try to uh have more grassroot approach and uh have not a simpler solution to the complex problems but at

Least to to listen in a way that uh the voters and the electorate feel that their concerns are taking into account and these concerns are are increasing so we are talking about the uh uh rise of the cost of the livings we are also talking about the the migration issue

Which is also becoming a problem in Belgium but but also Belgium I mean everywhere almost in EU member states so uh the problems are there uh but I I have my doubts to what extent uh that there will be a very concrete uh communication strategies in this respect

Both of the political parties socialist and EP they have published their political Manifesto their political agenda how will these documents impact the future of the European Union after the elections uh this documents we have to uh understand and see them as guidelines as key uh policies uh uh that the the

Let’s say mainstream parties these parties are willing to put in practice however the key challenge uh is uh the fragmented European Parliament because we know that half almost half of the members of the European Parliament will be outside of grand Coalition so that means that we are facing a fragmented

Parliament polarized Parliament that will impact the European commission’s agenda uh uh therefore uh although we have for instance uh uh promises uh of effective implementation of the next phase of the green deal and Etc uh we also should expect that this policies will be altered and uh this will depend

Of course on the individual and also on the Coalition patterns that we will see within the parliament I believe that uh the grand Coalition between the EP and the Socialist will continue however it will be more uh topic oriented and not uh as a traditional let’s say untouched

Coalition so this will be very interesting times ahead for all of us thank you very much for the interview thank you it was my pleasure now let’s go to the Frozen FS of Northern Norway above the Arctic Circle it is there that NATO is carrying out its Nordic response 2024 exercise

Which involves more than 20,000 soldiers from 303 Nations it is part of the organization’s largest exercises since the Cold War called steadfast Defender 24 the 32 Nation military Alliance wants to demonstrate to Russia that it is able to defend its territory even in hostile climates and conditions the Arctic
