Might Catalan, Galician and Basque become EU official languages? That's what the president of Catalonia Salvador Illa is advocating in an interview with Euronews featured on today's Radio Schuman.
Illa visited Brussels last week, where he met with the President of the European Council, António Costa, and the Vice President of the European Commission, Teresa Ribera. A key priority on his agenda was advocating for the inclusion of Catalan, Basque, and Galician as official languages of the European Union.
The proposal requires unanimous approval from all 27 EU member states and is currently under discussion by European Affairs ministers. However, progress has been limited since Spain initially introduced the initiative during its rotating presidency in the summer of 2023.
Radio Schuman also takes you to India, where the European Commissioners are heading today for a high level meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as to European countries that have the most skilled workers.

Is the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) poised to rule the country?
The party has its sights set on it, despite a political firewall cordoning it off from power, lawmaker belonging to the party René Aust has told Euronews reporter Vincenzo Genovese in an interview.
This is despite all mainstream parties in Germany ruling out any cooperation with AfD after Sunday’s ballot, meaning its prospects of entering a governing coalition are non-existent.
Trump’s billionaire aide Elon Musk has also outspokenly voiced support for AfD and its leader Alice Weidel. His attempts to wade into German politics have outraged mainstream parties.
Radio Schuman also discusses today’s gathering of G20 foreign ministers in Johannesburg, South Africa, where the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas will be in the company of Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.
We also have a look at where young Europeans get their news.

Major donor European countries like France, Germany, Sweden, and Finland are drastically cutting their foreign aid budgets, following the global trend led by US president Donald Trump to cut USAID, a humanitarian officer with Caritas Europe tells Radio Schuman today.
In Sweden and Finland, coalition governments involving the centre and far-right are redirecting funds toward deporting irregular migrants. Additionally, the EU’s “Global Gateway” program is shifting its focus toward investments that primarily benefit the bloc rather than addressing global development needs, according to Caritas' Abriel Schieffelers.

How will NATO allies increase defence spending beyond 2%?
Today Radio Schuman dives into European defence together with Euronews reporter Paula Soler.
European NATO and EU countries agree on increasing defence spending beyond 2% of GDP but disagree on how to achieve it. Some advocate joint borrowing for large defence projects, while others believe planning should remain in the hands of individual nations.
At the Munich Security Conference, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed exempting defence spending from EU fiscal limits. EU finance ministers are debating this alongside other options, such as joint bonds, repurposing post-pandemic funds, boosting European Investment Bank lending and creating a re-armament bank.
Radio Schuman also discusses today's meeting in Saudi Arabia between Russia and the US, and spotlights the expansion of so-called 'micro-forests' in cities.

Former Ukrainian Minister Dmytro Kuleba criticised Europe’s passive stance toward US President Donald Trump, who he said acted against Ukrainian and European interests in an interview we feature on Radio Schuman today.
Kuleba stepped down in September as part of a major reshuffle in President Zelenskyy’s cabinet. However, in the two years following Russia’s invasion, he emerged as a key figure in Ukraine’s government, actively mobilising international support.
He spoke to Euronews’ Johanna Urbancik in Berlin, and criticised Donald Trump for failing to support Ukraine, urged Europe to take stronger action, and argued that deploying peacekeeping troops would be challenging given Trump’s opposition to Ukraine’s NATO membership.
Radio Schuman also brings you to key meetings in Brussels and asks how electricity prices compare across Europe.

Europe must be involved in Ukraine peace talks given its investment in the crisis, Christophe Gomart, France’s former head of Military Intelligence told Euronews in an exclusive interview.
Gomart is vice-chair of the European Parliament’s committee of security and defence.
The Munich Security Conference begins today amid an exceptionally tense geopolitical climate. Following former US President Donald Trump’s announcement of his intention to engage in bilateral peace negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, European leaders are grappling with significant concerns. On one hand, they are excluded from the peace talks; on the other, they may be expected to assume responsibility for any resulting settlement.
According to Gomart, Europe must be included in the negotiations, given that the war is taking place on European soil and the EU has already made substantial contributions.
Radio Schuman also discusses an official trip by European Parliament president Roberta Metsola in Israel and Palestine as well as the best European countries for pension incomes.

The European Commission can't make up the shortfall left by Donald Trump’s recent decision to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and suspend its funding, according to an EU Commission official talking with Euronews.
That's what we're focusing on in today's Radio Schuman. How are European NGOs reacting? What measures can the EU take? we ask Euronews' Marta Iraola Irribarren who broke the scoop and gives us some insights.
USAID allocates billions of dollars annually to provide aid and medical supplies to millions worldwide. In Brussels, numerous NGOs that rely on USAID funding or collaborate with the agency have voiced concerns about the far-reaching consequences of the decision, particularly for those facing critical health crises.
Radio Schuman also explores today's agenda, in particular a key NATO meeting, a conference in Paris on Syria and debates in Strasbourg at the European Parliament.
We also have a look at the best destination for 'quiet holidays'.

Where is the balance between making the car sector more environmentally friendly, respecting the EU’s targets, and maintaining a profitable business?
Radio Schuman speaks with Julia Poliscanova, who leads work on electric vehicles at the green group Transport & Environment in Brussels.
Today, EU Climate Commissioner Hoekstra will lead the "Clean Transition and Decarbonisation" Working Group as part of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of the Automotive Industry, an initiative launched by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the end of January.
He'll engage with key European industry leaders, social partners, and stakeholders to tackle one of the sector’s most urgent challenges: the shift to clean mobility. Poliscanova will participate in this meeting and shared thoughts from an environmentalist perspective with Radio Schuman in advance.

The European Commission will present its policy priorities today in its much anticipated working program, with a preference for simplification and intent to integrate security "by design" in EU legislation.
The agenda includes simplification measures for agricultural legislation, a Clean Industrial Deal to support the Green Deal's implementation, increased support for the private sector, greater defence funding, and the introduction of key legislations such as the Critical Medicines Act and new migration laws on returns.
Today Radio Schuman dives into the document together with Euronews' senior reporter Gerardo Fortuna.
We also look at today's agenda with a meeting between far right leaders, key debates at the European Parliament and consider which European countries offer schoolkids the longest summer holidays.

Will the US start a trade war with the EU? What does Trump’s crackdown on the federal government mean? And how should we interpret the funding freeze and dismantling of USAID—a key agency supporting life-saving programs with partners across Europe?
Euronews’ Shona Murray spoke with David Salvo and Rachael Dean Wilson of the German Marshall Fund to unpack the global ramifications of Trump’s first weeks back in power.
For months, Brussels and the EU have been bracing for the impact of Donald Trump’s tariff threats. Now, in just a matter of days, officials have watched with astonishment as Trump—alongside his special government employee, Elon Musk—pushes forward an aggressive campaign to dismantle US agencies and slash the size of the federal government.
His plans to cut foreign aid and scale back USAID’s global operations have left European NGOs reeling. Many organisations that relied on US funding, including the Norwegian Rescue Council, are scrambling to understand the implications of the funding freeze and what it means for the vulnerable communities they support worldwide.
Radio Schuman also brings you to Strasbourg, the Western Balkans and Paris for three appointments not to miss, as well as to organic fishing farming in Europe.

Today Radio Schuman speaks about opposition protests in Slovakia with vice-president of the European Parliament, the Slovak liberal Martin Hojsik.
Mass protests are expected in towns and cities across Slovakia today, sparked by outrage over Prime Minister Robert Fico’s handshake with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a December visit to Moscow.
Since reclaiming power in 2023, Fico's eurosceptic agenda has raised alarm in Brussels over his stance on Ukraine and potential challenges to EU sanctions against Russia.
His ongoing disputes with both the EU and Kyiv—especially over Ukraine’s move to halt Russian gas transit to Slovakia—have only deepened tensions.
Radio Schuman also covers a summit of the Patriots for Europe party getting under way in Madrid and considers those European countries where people struggle with concentrating.

Is the European Union ready to set up return hubs outside its territory?
According to a document seen by Euronews, the European Commission and several Schengen member states are ready to propose so-called 'return hubs' in upcoming EU legislation.
Such 'return hubs' are centres outside the EU where rejected asylum seekers would be located before being returned to their country of origin.
The measure is considered controversial by many civil society organisations and NGOs citing negative impact on human rights.
Today Radio Schuman talks to Euronews' reporter Vincenzo Genovese on the issue.
Radio Schuman also looks at how climate change puts the future of some European traditional drinks at risk.

Has Friedrich Merz unlocked what a senior socialist MP called “the gates of hell” by accepting AfD support on two key immigration votes? With less than three weeks until the German elections, the CDU leader and likely future chancellor insists he won’t govern with the far right—but who will he partner with? What’s his real strategy? And has the AfD gained a boost from Elon Musk’s backing?
Today Radio Schuman answers these questions with Euronews' Berlin correspondent Liv Stoud.
Merz and his Christian Democrats, now polling above 30%, shook German politics last week by seeking AfD support for tough new immigration measures—breaking a long-held taboo against working with the far right. Though the bill failed, the backlash was swift, with tens of thousands protesting nationwide. Has this gamble hurt Merz’s popularity, or will it shape the upcoming elections?
We also look at the pros and cons of hotels and Airbnbs while travelling.
