A Toxic relationship

🎙The second episode of Left Takes on the EU is out!In this one we talk about toxic relationships, more specifically about the one the EU has with the Mercosur countries of Latin America and how the EU-Mercosur Free Trade Agreement would feed this circle of poison.We learn how the EU is not only exporting poisonous substances that it has itself banned in Europe, but it is also bringing them back onto European plates through food imports!So, why is the EU pushing trade deals that go against its own values? Who is benefiting from it and how are people on both continents resisting?These are some of the questions we put to German MEP Helmut Scholz and São Paulo University Professor Larissa Mies Bombardi.
