  • Why we do not need a new Cold War in 2025

    Hello everyone and especially to the youth,

    I want to start a podcast series with the aim of talking about third solutions other than the Cold War scenario we have been plunged into.

    I think, us young people, should refuse to accept the narrative that we have been given - where the war between Ukraine and Russia is going to last throughout the decade, and one where we have no choice but to believe there is no other way.

    I think we should refuse that narrative, and instead look for quicker solutions to end the conflict.


    Right now, we are depending on, and have accepted that senior politicians and heads of state decide on the economy, our safety and also our possibilities are citizens.


    I believe that we do not need to accept the climate, but can work towards a third solution - not West, not East, but together. There is no need for war, fo a massively declining financial situation, especially with the educated, valued oriented and socially aware citizens that we are in 2025.

    I hope you will join me in the search for solutions and listen to the episodes :)

    Amal has dedicated her life and career to breaking stereotypes about Arabs (especially Arab women) from her native country of Lebanon. This fall, she is releasing a new book that gives the world an intimate glimpse into the “silent” Arab generation that came of political age in the 1980s.

  • In conversation with the Hungarian Ambassador to France 🇫🇷 🇭🇺 H.E Georg Von Habsburg.
    Dear listener, thank you for tuning in again to Political Bark, for an interesting and important interview with the Hungarian Ambassador to France. We discuss French-Hungarian relations, the war in Europe, economic changes and political unity in Europe. Most importantly we also discuss what “to tell the youth” about the multiple crisis’ that are ongoing, in light of the Ambassadors late father, Otto Von Habsburg, and his wisdom both in life and politics. To know more about what advice Von Habsburg might have given, and what the Ambassador says - make sure to tune in!
