Europe's scrambles to respond on security | MCC Brussels Podcast

31 min • 7 mars 2025

As Trump signals a shift in America's stance on Ukraine, Europe's leaders are in disarray, desperately trying to craft a unified response. But is this truly about security, or is it an excuse to push deeper EU federalisation?

The latest developments suggest that European leaders, long complacent under NATO’s umbrella, are now panicking as the reality of Trump's foreign policy sets in. Suddenly, billions are being pledged for defense, but where is this money coming from? And more importantly—who will really control it?

At the same time, the EU’s elites continue their assault on democracy. In Romania, we see yet another case of election interference, as authorities move against a candidate inconvenient to Brussels’ agenda. The latest scandal surrounding the Digital Services Act shows how the EU is weaponising “disinformation” laws to silence opposition and maintain control.

Meanwhile, the NGO propaganda machine is being exposed like never before. From green lobbyists to pro-EU activist networks, taxpayer money is funding a vast influence operation aimed at shaping public opinion and suppressing dissent.

Jacob Reynolds is joined by MEP Angéline Furet (Rassemblement National, Patriots for Europe) and MCC Brussels' research fellow, Richard Schenk, to break down these urgent developments.

Will Europe reclaim its sovereignty, or is it doomed to remain in crisis mode, shackled by its own elite’s ideological obsessions?
