Toward far-right policies? What to expect from the European Parliament

from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak

Does the European Parliament have a new majority? Is the EPP normalizing the far-right? And why does EPP chair Manfred Weber vote with the Patriots when he and the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, are essentially portrayed as political anti-Christs in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary? Eric Maurice, a Policy Analyst at the European Policy Centre, explains what is happening in the European Parliament and in European politics.
