Last Friday marked the 25th anniversary of the attacks of 11 September 2001. This tragic event radically transformed global airport security and US foreign policy and marked the beginning of the so-called ‘war on terror’. To talk about what happened that day, we interview Mónica Dixon, a Hispanic-American painter living in Oviedo who happened to be in New York on those days.
On this week's program, we will also discuss the European Union's role in international politics in a world of rivalries as well as the steps it must take to achieve strategic autonomy, strengthen alliances and defend its interests and values. To delve deeper into these topics, we talk with Fidel Sendagorta, career diplomat and former Spanish ambassador to Japan and Egypt.
