From Frontex top executive to far-right MEP candidate: Fabrice Leggeri

With 24 hours to go before elections, Radio Schuman sat down with Fabrice Leggeri, the former Executive Director of the EU border agency Frontex, to discuss his surprising new role with the French far-right National Rally and the implications for the upcoming European elections.We dive into the contentious issues of migrant pushbacks, in particular the evidence by the European anti-Fraud Office (Olaf) about his involvement in such practices at EU borders, and the the EU’s migration pact.We also explored pre-election silence rules across Europe.Radio Schuman is Euronews' new go-to podcast to spice up your weekday mornings with relevant news, insights, and behind-the-scenes stories from Brussels and beyond.Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Elenora Vasques and audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron.
