Today in the EU - A podcast by Euractiv
The work of the new EU legislature unofficially kicks off in Brussels as per the post-election choreography. Freshly elected members of the European Parliament are now confronted with the choice to join existing political groups or form new ones. Groups have less than a month, until July 15th, to recruit newcomers and get re-grouped for the first European Parliament’s plenary. In this episode, host Giada Santana and politics reporter Max Griera review the latest moves in Brussels’ high-stakes game of musical chairs.
