For more than 19 years, Jean Asselborn (born in 1949) served as Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister. He guided important European processes, has had a close-up view of past and present crises in Europe and around the world, and he is respected as a great European. What concerns him today? He looks at global power shifts and developments in the USA, Ukraine and Europe. Against the backdrop of geopolitical reorientation, he encounters the challenges of our present day and our future: What is next for our continent? How can we protect and preserve the rule of law, freedom of the press, democracy and the independence of the judiciary? What common European approaches are possible for humane asylum policy? And how can we avoid running into the trap of fatalism? Host: Isabel Schayani
