The State of the Union speech explained by EURACTIV

This week our Beyond the Byline podcast is coming to you with a special episode focusing on the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's annual State of the Union speech. The president addressed the key issues on the EU agenda, and announced new measures, programmes, and plans. To break down the most important components of the speech I am joined today by no less than six EURACTIV reporters, who will share their expertise on health [Giedre Peseckyte], digital [Luca Bertuzzi], transport [Sean Goulding Carroll], environment/energy [Kira Taylor], rule of law/democracy [Vlad Makszimov], and economy [Jorge Valero]. You can subscribe to the Beyond the Bylines podcast in our new podcast newsletter and you can listen to it on  Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon music and Stitcher.
