In this podcast (31 min), Morten Springborg was interviewed by the editor of Insightview.eu in order to get his view of the future of the European Union (phone interview). The interview will predominantly focus on Germany. The fact is that Berlin has in many ways been a heavy drag on the development of the union. Angela Merkel has been a Chancellor of inaction with few political initiatives in the last decade. The interview will also touch on how EU telecom regulation is working against industrial policies in Europe that seeks to promote European winners of tomorrow in 5G. Also, we will talk about Berlin's "solution" to Europe's problems, namely "state capitalism".
