Episode 2

Putin’s rehearsal, Europe’s reality

Published on: 10th October, 2025

In this episode of “EU Decoded”, we take you inside the latest plenary session of the European Parliament, where Europe’s security, competitiveness, and digital future took centre stage. From defending EU airspace against Russian hybrid threats to strengthening the Schengen area with new visa suspension rules, the EPP Group is calling for action and unity. We also look at efforts to deepen the Single Market by cutting red tape and ensuring one set of rules for all, while advancing Europe’s digital sovereignty under the Digital Markets and Digital Services Acts.
