"I see an overall danger. We have so many influences from outside: Russia, the USA, capital, and many more who invest so much in splitting society [...] No society can work if you have such divides"
- @Evelyn_Regner MEP on the dangers posed to Europe in 2021

This episode we're joined by @MichaelKaeding, co-editor of "European Solidarity in Action and the Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals"
Together with @_PaulSchmidt and @JohannesPollak, Michael has co-edited the book, which analyses 41 European countries from the perspective of European #solidarity - but the main question is: "does European solidarity actually exist?"
"On the one hand you have Ireland being showered with #solidarity during the #Brexit negotiations; on the other hand you have Poland which sees European solidarity as a one-way street"
"European Solidarity: Perspectives from the Southern Member States" is about to start! If you haven't already, join us and @iprinova on #Zoom to discover the Southern views on #COVID19 and #EuropeanSolidarity
We will be highlighting our debate: it takes place in the framework of TEPSA's new book "Solidarity in Action and the Future of Europe", edited by @MichaelKaeding (@unidue), Johannes Pollak (@WebsterVienna), and @_PaulSchmidt (@oegfe), who is moderating this event

"Different countries, depending on their history and culture, have different viewpoints on #solidarity [...] you will find in this book 41 contributions from 41 experts from 41 European countries"
- @_PaulSchmidt explains the rationale of exploring "Views from the Capitals"
