Listen "Europe's radical right and the upcoming elections"
Episode Synopsis
Europe’s political landscape is changing dramatically, with the latest polls predicting that far right parties will gain across the EU in the upcoming European Parliament elections. Amid concerns over the rise of the far-right, radical-right forces are already influencing EU policies. Giorgia Meloni is the prime example, with the Italian prime minister proving pivotal in shaping Europe’s agenda, from the frequent visits European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen makes to Italy to Europe’s approach to migration. Alexandra Voudouri, Kathimerini’s Brussels correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the rise of the far right and what it means for the future direction of Europe.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Hard right wants more EU power to reflect likely election gainsJust How Dangerous Is Europe’s Rising Far Right?Giorgia Meloni and Ursula von der Leyen, the double act that is steering the EU ever rightwardsGreek PM seeks to build on better ties in AnkaraGreece to bring in Egyptian farm workers amid labor shortage
