Summary

Please join me and my special guest, journalist, democracy correspondent, and global affairs analyst Bruno Kaufmann, as we take a deep dive into the state of the world — from pivotal elections across Europe to the growing tensions surrounding Iran and the broader challenges reshaping the international order. Together, we'll explore the political, economic, and geopolitical forces driving today's headlines, the future of democracy in an increasingly unstable world, and what these developments could mean for the months ahead.
