This episode looks at the landmark meeting between Spain’s Pedro Sánchez and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the first official visit by a Greek leader to Spain in over a decade. We discuss how both countries have shifted from economic vulnerability to becoming growth drivers within the EU, and why they see a stronger southern European alliance as key to tackling shared challenges—from security and migration to climate change. The talks also highlighted the need for an equal transatlantic relationship, a united European stance on Ukraine and the Middle East, and continued support for international trade agreements like Mercosur.
