This week’s Euroscopic podcast will be out soon. For those who already want a taste of it (or actually like to read), here’s what’s on the menu:
Amuse-bouche
Martin made cheese, and I hope to get my hands on some of it soon.
Starter
We’re coming out of the informal gathering of EU member leaders in Granada, which we touched on in last week’s episode. Habemus Migration Deal! That only took … a decade?
Primo
Elections, elections everywhere, but not a coalition to find. Spain may be finally getting a government, while the EU girds for whatever happens in Poland next week. This weekend, two states in Germany head to the polls, and it doesn’t look good for the parties in power at the federal level. But we know this.
Still, the stress of it all — or … something? — got to be too much for the national head of the far-right AfD. He was rushed from a campaign event in Bavaria to the hospital, and no one seems to be able, or willing, to say why.
Secondo
What does the end of the U.S. legislative process as we know it mean for Europe? It starts with a U and rhymes with “insane.” The battle for supporting Ukraine’s battle is heating up. Getting Ukraine policy right is starting to look like a chess game inside a Rubik's Cube on a bookshelf in five-dimensional space.
Nachtisch
Bedbugs. Yum!
Don’t forget to tip
You know what no one talks about enough? Andorra. But now we can because it joins many other places around Europe facing a housing shortage.
Doggy bag
We tried hard to avoid it, but we have to talk about the weather again. September was gorgeous, and that’s a bad thing.
Still hungry?
