From mental health and energy security to preparedness

"If we want to protect our future, we need courageous decisions, not more bureaucracy. We need to build a resilient Europe that protects its people while strengthening its economy—otherwise, we risk losing our competitive edge entirely."
— MEP Lena Düpont

Sitting down for an exclusive interview in the heart of the European Parliament, EPHI representative Adam Schlüssler discussed with MEP Lena Düpont the future of Europe and the challenges facing the European Union in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment.

The discussion covers critical pillars of Europe's future: from mental health and energy security to preparedness and the ongoing challenges of migration. A central focus of their conversation is the urgent need for deregulation and reducing unnecessary bureaucracy to help strengthen Europe's economy.

They debate how to improve Europe's resilience without sacrificing its economic competitiveness, exploring the balance between ambitious policy and practical reality. MEP Düpont shares her insights on why courageous, forward-thinking decision-making will be essential to navigate the road ahead.

Europe is under huge pressure. In a rapidly changing global landscape, our future depends on our ability to innovate, streamline governance, and face geopolitical realities with decisive action.

Adam Schlüssler,
EPHI's Brussels representative
