On this episode of .think Atlantic, IRI's Thibault Muzergues is joined by Katalin Cseh, Mohand Sidi-Said, and IRI's Zuzana Palušáková. The discussion centers around a new report by the International Republican Institute (IRI), in partnership with the Alliance for Liberals and Democrats in Europe (ALDE) and the European Liberal Forum (ELF), which measures European sentiment on COVID-19 and its fallout across the region.


What are the main takeaways from the data? How are Europe and North America going to exit the health crisis in the coming months? How can we improve our health systems to make them more resilient? How do we ensure that the governments will give back all the public freedoms they took away during the pandemic? Thibault Muzergues and his guests debate all these questions - and many more.



Katalin Cseh is a Hungarian Member of the European Parliament, and vice-chair of the Renew Europe parliamentary group - she hails from the Hungarian liberal party Momentum. She is also a member of the Committee on Industry, Research, and Energy and is part of the delegation for relations with the United States.



Mohand Sidi-Said is a Franco-Algerian philanthropist, former Vice-President of Pfizer, and of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, which represents the Pharmaceutical industry in the United States.
