Vasco Cordeiro, President of the Regional Government of the Azores and First Vice-President of the European Committe of the Regions exchanges opinions with Maria Freitas, FEPS Senior Policy Advisor on the potential that Europe’s regions and cities can bring for the European project. Maria and Vasco discuss the ways in which EU regions matter for the unity of the EU as a political project and much more. #FEPSTalks listeners are also invited by Vasco to visit the Azores, one of Europe’s outermost regions for two reasons: because it is a remarkable archipelago of volcanic islands and because it is one of Portugals’ regions where progressive politics are at play!
