Lukashenko's jailed opposition leader and France's digital push in EU Council Presidency

This week our Beyond the Byline podcast focuses on the imprisonment of an opposition leader in Belarus, the practices Alexander Lukashenko’s uses against his political opponents, and the EU’s position. To shed some light on the story, I am joined by EURACTIV’s Senior Editor, Georgi Gotev. We are also talking about the upcoming French presidency of the EU, the hot topics on the agenda, the focus on digital regulation and tech sovereignty, and what changes to expect. To hear more on that, I spoke with Matthieu Pollet from EURACTIV France.
