What does real partnership between Europe and Africa look like in 2026?
The old donor-beneficiary model is fading. In its place: shoulder-to-shoulder collaboration between governments, universities, investors, and civil society on both sides.
In our new Liberal Europe Podcast episode, Ricardo Silvestre sits down with Rui Santos, CEO of CESO Development Consultants, to unpack how EU cooperation is changing, what the Global Gateway means on the ground, and why building cultural ecosystems matters as much as building infrastructure.
35 years of experience. 120 countries. One clear message: the future of development is partnership.

When the next crisis hits, can the EU budget respond?
In the ELF - NEOS Lab publication "Future-Proofing the European Budget", Lukas Sustala makes the case for a more flexible fiscal framework: permanent borrowing mechanisms, diversified own resources, and a budget designed to adapt rather than just absorb.

In this episode of the Liberal Europe Podcast, journalist and author Jacob Kushner unpacks the chilling true story behind Germany’s neo-Nazi terror network, the NSU: a group that carried out murders and bombings for years while authorities looked the other way.
From institutional blind spots and far-right radicalisation to the dangerous normalisation of extremism across Europe and the US, this conversation asks a difficult but urgent question: are democracies still underestimating the far right extremists?
