Episode Details

Progressive leaders from around the world gathered in Barcelona, advocating for a rules-based global order and challenging rising populism. U.S. Senator Chris Murphy and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joined presidents from Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Colombia, along with top officials from the UK and Germany. The event focused on defending multilateralism against Trumps isolationist policies. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez criticized attacks on international law, while Trump responded with criticism on social media. The leaders expressed optimism, with Sánchez stating that the populist rights time is limited, and Murphy accusing Trump of undermining democracy. However, recent victories like Hungarys election against Orbán bolstered their spirits. They also presented new ideas, such as South Africas proposal for a UN panel on inequality, Mexicos plan for military budgets to fund reforestation, and Sánchezs suggestion for social media regulations and taxes on the ultra-rich. The leaders emphasized unity, peace, and building an international progressive movement to counter the far-right surge.
