Parliament’s winners and losers: A conversation with Greens and right-wing ECR
On Wednesday (27 November), the new college of commissioners was approved with 370 votes to 282 against – marking the lowest majority in history.
The mandate is filled with uncertainties, except one: the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) enjoys free rein in Parliament negotiations, with master strategist Manfred Weber cosying up and forging alliances outside the centrist majority. How do non-coalition groups view this new, secretive, and unpredictable European Parliament?
In this episode, host Giada Santana talks about the rationale behind the vote with two MEPs: Daniel Freund of the Greens and Carlo Fidanza of the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR).
