Brussels confused, candidate countries frustrated : Is EU enlargement still possible?

Do you think the EU functions at 27? Do you think it could work at 29 or 35? And did you know that the EU environment ministers were up till dawn this week hammering out a compromise to take to COP30?

Above are some of the questions we posed on this very first edition of "Brussels, my love?" the podcast that aspires to bring EU politics and policies closer to you.

Broadcasting from the European Parliament podcast studio, this episode features veteran EU analysts Teresa Küchler, from the Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet and Euronews' Stefan Grobe as well as former barrister turned MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú.

From the EU enlargement report cards that were published this week to the EU's position at the upcoming COP30 talks in Brazil, there was plenty to chew over and even though he if of course innocent until proven guilty, the former European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders got tongues wagging after he was charged this week with money laundering.
