Summary: Former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and Chinese artist Ai Weiwei are our main guests, interviewed live on stage by POLITICO's Ryan Heath. Also, panelists Alva Finn and Lina Aburous join Ryan to look back on 2018 and bestow EU Confidential's prestigious Tajani awards on those who have made an outstanding contribution to the political year. EU Confidential takes a brief festive break next week but we'll be back in the New Year. Best seasonal wishes to all our listeners — thanks for all your support and feedback in 2018!
