Renew Europe in the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) is proud to announce the relaunch of its flagship podcast, Letter from Brussels. With a refreshed format and an expanded range of contributors, the series stays true to its core mission: telling the stories of local leaders who are shaping Europe’s future from the ground up.
The first episode of the new season, “The Art of Deterrence,” takes listeners to the Latvian city of Liepāja, where Mayor Gunārs Ansiņš is spearheading a major NATO port development project. This strategic investment will significantly strengthen Europe’s defence and resilience in the Baltic Sea region, underscoring how security and preparedness begin in our towns and regions.
Each episode will highlight how liberal and democrat local and regional leaders are driving projects that matter for the whole of Europe. Policy experts and political leaders will join the conversation, ensuring that listeners gain first-hand insights into how EU decisions translate into action on the ground.
The new Letter from Brussels episode is available now on YouTube, with automatic captions in your preferred language, as well as on all major podcast platforms. Whether you tune in from a city, town or rural region, this is your invitation to discover how Europe’s most pressing challenges are being met by forward-looking leaders across the Union.
