Renew Europe at the Committee of Regions with Sean O’Curneen

Cities and regions are where European politics meets everyday life. In this episode of the Liberal Europe Podcast, Ricardo Silvestre (Movimento Liberal Social) welcomes Sean O’Curneen, Secretary-General of Renew Europe at the Committee of the Regions. Together they explore why the Committee of the Regions matters for Europe’s democracy, how liberals are shaping its work, the impact of liberal leadership at the local level, and what the publication ‘Principles that make cities and communities liberal’ reveals about the future of liberal local governance.
