Brussels has been without a regional government for almost one year. How is this impacting locals, and expats? Will there be another election to break the deadlock?

Radio Schuman spoke with outgoing Brussels Mobility Minister Elke Van den Brandt about Brussels being without rule for almost a year. She told us how this damages Brussels' reputation, hurts locals and why it is so difficult to come to an agreement.

Van den Brandt also touched on the uncertain future of the Metro 3 project, aimed at connecting the city's northern and southern neighbourhoods, and the criticism of her vision to make Brussels liveable.

We also head to the Western Balkans for the start of European Council President's four-day tour as part of diplomatic efforts to keep candidate countries on an EU path. And finally, Europe’s rapidly ageing population is posing an existential threat to the continent’s healthcare system. Which countries are worst affected?

This episode of Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Lauren Walker. Audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
