In this podcast episode, part of our Project EUYou, Euractiv’s host Christoph Schwaiger speaks with Dr. László Andor, former EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (2010-2014) and Secretary General of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies.

They explore Hungary’s complex relationship with EU cohesion funds, the impact of rule of law concerns on funding access, and how political shifts – like a potential government change – could reshape Hungary’s future within the EU. From suspended investments to broader implications for democracy and economic growth, the discussion highlights what’s at stake for both Hungary and the European Union.
