Since the fall of Syria’s ex-dictator Bashar Al-Assad, the EU has promised to support the new interim government for democratic transition and has suspended several sanctions that were targeted at the Assad regime. However, with the recent wave of revenge-killings in the country that, according to reports, claimed 1500 lives, questions arise over the bloc's approach to the new government. Those questions will be under discussion at a summit on Syria being held in Brussels today.
In a recent resolution, MEPs also urged the new Syrian authorities to ”free themselves from their longstanding alliances with Tehran and Moscow” and revoke Russia's military presence in the country.
So how does the EU see the recent developments in Syria? Radio Schuman speaks to Euronews’ journalist Mared Jones.
Today's episode also discusses the adoption and thoughts on AI among employees in the EU.
Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
