Javi López vs. Hildegard Bentele - Can Europe stay green? And at what political cost?

In this episode, The Ring turns its focus to one of the EU’s most decisive battles: Is the Green Deal still alive?

Europe’s fight against climate change stands at a turning point. Officially, the 27 maintain a unified front — yet behind the scenes, ambition is fading, targets are being renegotiated, and “industry-first” pressures are gaining ground.

Stepping into The Ring this week are Javi López, Spanish MEP from the Socialists & Democrats, and Hildegard Bentele, German MEP with the European People’s Party.

Both face the crucial question: Can Europe still speak with one voice on climate action — or is its green leadership slipping away?

The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices.

In each episode, two political heavyweights from across the EU face off to propose a diversity of opinions and spark conversations around the most important issues of EU affairs and the wider European political life.
