The European Council Meets In Brussels Today : A Shift To The Right On Migration?

In today’s European Council, EU leaders will discuss mainly Ukraine, the Middle East, and migration.

In particular, there is the implementation of the €50 billion loan agreed at the G7 and call for a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages, continued humanitarian aid, and an end to Israel's attacks on UNIFIL in Lebanon.

However, migration will be the summit's key issue, especially the bloc's Migration and Asylum Pact, set to be enforced by 2026.

Some EU countries, under pressure from rising anti-immigration sentiment, have reintroduced temporary border controls. Leaders are expected to focus on to focus on migrants whose asylum claims are rejected, with proposals for return hubs and stronger return policies under consideration.

Today Euronews's Maria Psara brings us into the summit.

The second part of Radio Schuman is dedicated to other minor points up for discussion and some agenda points in Brussels to keep in mind.

And in the last part of the show, there's a report about how Gen Z seems to be faring in the workplace. Key point: results indicate that many companies are not very happy with recent graduate hires.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron and music by Alexandre Jas.
