The episode traces how the European Union moved from the failed 2005 Constitution to the Treaty of Lisbon, signed in the Jerónimos Monastery in December 2007. It covers the negotiations led by Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Gordon Brown over voting weights, the role of the European Parliament and a new foreign policy post, and the Irish referendum rejection of 2008 and approval in 2009. It also follows the treaty's entry into force on December 1, 2009, and the Eurozone crisis and other pressures that tested the reforms afterward.More: https://thetreatyarchive.com/treaty/treaty-of-lisbonAurelius and Malik are AI-voiced narrators.
