Are you shortening the debate segment?
The added length was what made it so unique. There was a chance to develop ideas and truly explore different views. I often learned more about a subject or situation or heard something that caused me to consider, helping understanding.
A shortened segment really only allows people to begin to present what is often already heard elsewhere.
I hope you don't plan to shorten the debate.
It's something I listen to regularly to hear differen views!
François, François why the red ties?!

I hope the EU steps up on behalf of Ukraine. Trump is just out for himself.
Always informative and always on topic👍 my go to daily podcast to keep up with the view from the EU👍 Keep it up 👏💯
