Europe Today: France braces for fresh protests as EU leaders seek Hungary reset

France is bracing for another weekend of protests after last week’s demonstrations turned violent, as the government faces pressure to restore order. Meanwhile, EU leaders visit Hungary amid hopes of a reset in relations, while Serbia’s snap election puts President Aleksandar Vučić under pressure. On today's show: Sándor Zsíros, Euronews' Hungarian EU correspondent, examines the significance of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa visiting Budapest to mark the 70th anniversary of Hungary's 1956 uprising against Soviet rule. The visit, hosted by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, signals a potential reset in relations between Hungary and the EU after years of tensions under Viktor Orbán. Estelle Nilsson-Julien reports live from Paris as France prepares for another round of mass demonstrations on Saturday. Following last weekend's violence and looting, the government has announced heightened security measures, while protesters remain determined to take to the streets. Alice de Brito, vice president of France's main student union UNEF, joins us to discuss why students are protesting, the challenges they face and whether the upcoming presidential election offers hope for change. Polish Deputy Interior Minister Maciej Duszczyk speaks to us about the growing divisions between EU leaders over migration following the unrest in France. We discuss Emmanuel Macron’s response to foreign leaders commenting on France’s protests, Poland’s demands for tougher migration rules and the tensions between Donald Tusk and Pedro Sánchez over the EU’s Migration Pact. Berta López Domènech, analyst at the European Policy Centre, examines Serbia’s upcoming snap parliamentary election, where a student-led movement hopes to challenge President Aleksandar Vučić after two years of demonstrations. With concerns mounting over electoral irregularities and the country’s democratic direction, we ask whether the opposition can bring political change. When and where to watch Europe Today?
