THE CONTINENT

Pastime Agency

Actualités

Fréquence : 1 épisode/6j. Total Éps: 6

THE CONTINENT is a weekly commentary podcast on the one story that matters most in European politics and society right now — traced properly, connecting Brussels, the national capitals, and the wider world. Each episode takes a single development and argues it out: what actually happened, why the obvious reading is incomplete, and what is genuinely still unresolved. It speaks with an institutional editorial voice — a considered point of view that belongs to the show, not headline-reading and not both-sides hedging. Made for listeners who already follow the news and want to understand what it means. New episodes every week.

Trump’s Ireland Remarks Shake Northern Ireland Peace Deal

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

samedi 12 septembre 2026 • Durée 07:53

In Ireland, Donald Trump suggested unification with Northern Ireland “may as well happen now” during a visit that also drew protest in Dublin. The remarks put the Good Friday Agreement, and its consent-based approach to Irish unity, back in focus. 🇮🇪⚖️ The tension came when Trump treated a constitutional question as something that could be fast-tracked by political will, rather than by a referendum or majority support. Unionists, Dublin, and London all pushed back against the idea that an outsider could set the pace. The stakes are grounded in the Good Friday Agreement, which allows Northern Ireland’s future to change only with the consent of its people. The script also points to Catherine Connolly’s meeting with Trump, where she gave him a St Brigid’s Cross and a poetry collection including Ceasefire. What remains unresolved is whether any majority support for Irish unity exists, and how any future settlement could protect unionist identity, security, and consent. THE CONTINENT examines whether Trump’s intervention changes anything, what the peace process actually permits, and how Irish unity could ever be made credible.

72-Hour Ukraine Pause: Peace Talk, War Pressure, Moscow

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

samedi 5 septembre 2026 • Durée 07:48

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow carrying a new American attempt to restart Ukraine negotiations, with both Russia and Ukraine agreeing to halt airstrikes during the visit. The pause came as missiles were still killing workers in Ukraine and the envoys were due to meet Vladimir Putin before travelling to Kyiv. 🚨🕊️ The rupture is that diplomacy has returned without any clear sign the war is easier to end. The front line is largely frozen across roughly 1,250 kilometres, while Ukraine strikes deep into Russia and Moscow answers with widening waves of drones and missiles against Ukrainian cities. That stalemate is grounded in specific pressure points: Russian forces hit Ukraine’s intelligence headquarters and airports in Kyiv on the eve of the trip, while Moscow paused airstrikes only during the envoys’ visit. The script frames this as coercive diplomacy, with force used to shape the negotiating environment. What remains unresolved is whether the American proposal changes the core imbalance: Russia wants territory, limits on Ukraine’s sovereignty and a veto over Nato, while Ukraine wants survival, respected borders and credible security guarantees. THE CONTINENT examines whether this visit can produce a durable peace, what Europe can sustain, and whether Moscow is being deterred or rewarded.

Bardella, Farage, and Europe’s New Far-Right Alliance 🌍

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

samedi 5 septembre 2026 • Durée 07:19

French National Rally president Jordan Bardella, 30, is due in Birmingham next week to address Reform UK and hold a joint press conference with Nigel Farage. The visit comes as Marine Le Pen campaigns for the French presidency after her conviction over misuse of more than 2.8 million euros in European Parliament funds. 🚨🇫🇷🇬🇧 The tension is that movements built on national sovereignty are now coordinating across borders. What began as anti-Brussels, anti-immigration politics is shifting into a practical network of shared slogans, tactics, and political legitimacy. The concrete stakes run through the Channel: Bardella has backed tighter police cooperation with London over small boats, but wants migrants returned to their countries of origin rather than sent back to France. The partnership also reflects Le Pen’s own legal and political uncertainty as her appeal goes to France’s highest court. What remains unresolved is whether these parties can turn resentment into credible governing cooperation without undermining the sovereignty they champion. THE CONTINENT examines whether this cross-border right can move from protest to power, how it handles border control in practice, and what its growing international network means for Europe.

Ukraine’s Election Dilemma: Democracy Under Fire and Delay

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 24 août 2026 • Durée 07:00

In wartime Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected calls for a presidential election as martial law continues under Russia’s full-scale invasion. His mandate formally ended in May 2024, while millions remain displaced, front lines keep shifting, and the war grinds on. ⚔️🗳️

The dispute hardened when Zelenskyy warned that an election now could split the country and become a “tsunami” for the state. The challenge raised by recently dismissed former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov turned a legal question into a direct test of wartime legitimacy.

The stakes are concrete: soldiers at the front, voters in occupied or frontline areas, and Ukrainians scattered across Europe would all face serious barriers to participating. Missile strikes, disrupted communications, and the shortage of Patriot interceptors deepen the sense that campaigning and voting could be unsafe and contested.

What remains unresolved is whether postponing elections protects democracy or weakens it by stretching emergency rule further into the future. THE CONTINENT examines whether Ukraine can defend itself without suspending accountability, how a legitimate vote could work in wartime, and what standards Europe should demand.
