In this week’s episode of The Ring, MEPs Juan Fernando López Aguilar (S&D) and Tomas Tobé (EPP) engage in a deep debate over how Europe should manage migration - from applying the “safe third country” concept to Spain’s large-scale regularisation plan.

Spain’s foreign minister told Euronews that Europe must take full control of its own security in the face of rising geopolitical uncertainties. To this end, he said the EU must move towards creating a European army.

The political crisis in Spain goes beyond national borders: Former Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel García-Margallo (PP) and José Zaragoza (PSC), current member of Congress, debate on The Ring about the instability of Sánchez’s government and its impact on Europe.
