In this special episode of Sieps Podcast, Commissioner Věra Jourová is interviewed. The podcast was recorded during EU Days in Lund and focuses on Jourová's ten years as Commissioner, the EU's core values and democratic challenges.
Věra Jourová has been a Commissioner for ten eventful years. During the last mandate, she was Vice-President of the Commission in charge of values and transparency. In this special episode of the SIEPS Podcast, she talks about these values: the rule of law, democracy and freedom of the press.
Věra Jourová's time in EU politics has been characterised by a series of crises, and fundamental values are being challenged in many places. Despite this, she remains an optimist with some good advice for the incoming Commission.
The conversation is in English and was recorded in front of an audience at EU Days in Lund. It is hosted by Karin Flordal and Gustaf Olsson.
