This episode explores Spain’s proposal to abolish seasonal clock changes across the European Union, arguing that daylight saving time no longer saves energy and harms public health. Supported by scientific studies and public opinion—two-thirds of Spaniards oppose the practice—Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez plans to push the issue at the upcoming EU Council meeting. We also revisit the stalled 2019 EU plan and the debate over which time standard Europe should ultimately adopt.
