Can Europe guarantee its own security? Balkan Devlen and Peter Hefele

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, where we dive into the ideas and policies shaping Canada's future!

In this episode, Balkan Devlen, Studio Fellow at the Macdonald Laurier Institute, sits down with Peter Hefele, Policy Director at the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies.

Hefele pulls back the curtain on Europe's high-stakes challenges: Can Germany reboot its economic engine? Will Europe finally build a credible defence capability? And where does Canada fit into this complex geopolitical puzzle?

From Germany's political chess match to Europe's urgent defense overhaul, this episode is a front-row seat to the continent's most critical transformation in decades.
