Andersson vs Mandl – Debating Ursula von der Leyen's speech on The Ring

After Ursula von der Leyen's address to the European Parliament this week, the debate: MEPs Li Andersson (The Left) and Lukas Mandl (EPP) deconstruct the EU Commission president's speech in a live edition of The Ring. What did the President promise — and what can she actually deliver? From Ukraine and European defence to the economy, migration and the EU’s response to a rapidly changing world, the speech came at a crucial moment for the Union. What does Europe really need? Is Brussels becoming more powerful — or simply more ambitious? And can the EU walk the talk, turning big promises into concrete results? Listen to this special edition of The Ring, brought to you from the European Parliament studios in Strasbourg.The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices. In each episode, two political heavyweights from across the EU face off to propose a diversity of opinions and spark conversations around the most important issues of EU affairs and the wider European political life.
