In this edition, brought to you from the European Parliament in Strasbourg, we are joined by centre-right EPP's MEP Hildegard Bentele and European Parliament’s Vice President Javi López, from the Socialists & Democrats.

The Ring is anchored by Maria Tadeo, produced by Luis Albertos Altarejos, Nikos Michos and Amaia Echevarria. Edited by Zacharia Vigneron.
