New EU law to combat child abuse

In this episode of “EU Decoded,” we unpack another plenary week in the European Parliament - from bold new legislation to fight child sexual abuse, to major debates on defence, democracy, and the future of the EU budget.  

We hear from Jeroen Lenaers on what the new law on combating child abuse means for victims, and how the EU is responding to alarming trends like AI-generated abuse content. 

We also hear from key EPP Group voices on strengthening NATO ties ahead of the upcoming summit, addressing rule of law concerns in Spain, and ensuring the EU budget reflects European - not just national - priorities.  

Additionally, we mark 40 years of the Schengen Agreement and its ongoing significance for freedom and security in today’s Europe.
