episode 102: Ep.102: European Parliament and Race, Aya Nakamura, Diversity and Policing


Opposition to French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura performing at the Paris Olympics is whipped up by the "fachosphère" in France. The former head of the EU Border and Coast Guard joins the far-right and accuses former colleagues of a "project" to encourage migration. Those are just two recent examples of the kinds of prejudice and conspiracy theory that Julie Pascoet confronts at the European Network Against Racism, ENAR...

Frontex, the EU border and coast guard, is the bloc's best funded agency costing upwards of a billion euros on a year. There are plans for a standing corps of 10,000 uniformed personnel this decade. But something is badly amiss. Migrants keep drowning in large numbers under Frontex's watch. That includes what is thought to be the worst EU disaster of its kind when the fishing vessel Adriana capsized in June last year in Greek waters with some 750 people aboard...

episode 97: Ep.97: Terry Reintke, Looking to Ban ID, Article 2, AfD, Le Pen


Terry Reintke unhesitatingly describes some EU lawmakers with anti-European and far-right views as fascists. Her directness stands in sharp contrast to bland circumlocutions more common to Brussels. Now Terry, a German who co-heads the Greens in the European Parliament, wants the chamber to launch an inquiry into whether its extreme right Identity and Democracy Group, or ID Group, adheres to European values...

The journalist talking to Breton when he made those remarks is Teri Schultz...

episode 95: Ep.95: Draghi, Michel, Acca Laurentia, Meloni and Putin


Mario Draghi is the obvious candidate to be the next president of the European Council. The job involves leading the meetings of EU heads of state and government. And it's wide open since incumbent Charles Michel announced he's quitting. But despite Draghi's notable achievements, including saving the euro and crafting game-changing policies on vaccines and sanctions, "Super Mario" seems unlikely to make the final cut...

episode 94: Sleepwalking Into 2024


Jacques Delors passed away this week. He was the longest serving president of the EU executive, the European Commission. But what makes Delors such a towering figure was his headlong rush to unify the continent. Monetary union. Free movement. The Single Market. Delors is the preeminent architect of the modern European project. Fast forward three decades and that architecture is an acute concern for admirers of Delors. Among them is the well-known liberal lawmaker Sophie in ‘t Veld...

episode 93: Big Meat’s Big Win in Europe


Big Meat had a good year in Europe. Plans to set emission limits for large-scale cattle farms were scrapped. Rules requiring landowners to restore wetlands were mostly gutted.
