French MEP Valérie Hayer, President of the Renew Europe Group, sits down with Mary Regan this week for a wide-ranging interview.




On the agenda? Ireland’s imminent EU presidency – what do Europeans expect from us at a pivotal political moment not just for Europe, but the world at large?




On that note, how does Ireland’s increasingly difficult relationship with Israel and Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s call for Europe to consider tougher trade sanctions factor in?




How should Ireland handle the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine?




And what’s the view in Europe on the rise of far-right political movements?




All that and more up for discussion on this week’s episode of Indo Politics.
