BARCELONA — POLITICO is bringing the continent’s top decision-makers and business leaders together in Barcelona to discuss Europe’s future.
The European Pulse Forum 2026, an initiative from POLITICO and beBartlet, will present polling in six different countries — Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain — to understand how people view the issues facing Europe today and how they say policymakers should tackle those challenges.
What’s the state of the transatlantic relationship? Is the European Union up for the challenges facing Europe today? How should the EU and national governments handle rising energy prices? Should there be a European army?
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, European Commission Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera and European Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius will join many others to discuss the future of Europe.
