In this first episode of UNFILTERED: The Liberal Take on Today’s Hottest Issues, we ask the big, uncomfortable question: Is the European economy in decline, and are our own policies to blame?

ALDE Party President Svenja Hahn joins us for a candid discussion on innovation, global competitiveness and why we need to cut red tape. We also dig into what the second Trump presidency means for transatlantic trade and how Europe should respond to rising tariffs and protectionism.

Plus: the 60-second EU policy challenge and our first-ever “Hero or Zero” lightning round.

With the support of the European Parliament.
