This week, we are joined by Sophia Russack, senior researcher from the Centre for European Policy Studies, Petros Fassoulas, secretary general of European Movement International and Anna Nalyvayko, senior project officer from the Wilfried Martens Center. Panelists debate the ethical questions raised by MEPs who have side jobs. Those extra roles are legal, but the political earthquake caused by the Qatarargate scandal led to tighter rules and more transparency. Is this enough to bridge the gulf between citizens and politicians, in today's fractured political landscape? “We see that they have im...

Walter Baier, the lead candidate for The Left, has called on Ursula von der Leyen - the outgoing Commission president who's tipped to secure a second term - to bear in mind the "huge responsibility" she carries in her overtures to hard-right parties. Speaking in an interview with Euronews on Thursday, Baier censured von der Leyen for what he described as a fear-driven willingness to partner with hard-line right-wing parties following June's European elections. "Come on, this is a matter of principle. Having given up on this idea of a cordon sanitaire, that is a huge responsibility," Baier said...

The far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) party and the regionalist, separatist European Free Alliance (EFA) both say they have been intentionally shunned by the organisers of the debate, set to take place at the European Parliament in Brussels on May 23 ahead of June's European elections. In correspondence seen by Euronews, the ID Party - which harbours the likes of France's Rassemblement National, Italy's Lega and Germany's Alternative für Deutschland and which forms its own group in the European Parliament - was told by the EBU that it could not be represented at the debate because it had n...

Elections to the new European Parliament are now just weeks away, and headline polling suggests there’ll be a swing to the right. But alongside the party politics, MEPs can also have a personal spin on lawmaking, championing their own hobby horses and leading work on key pieces of legislation. With the rising cost of living and supporting economic growth ranked among EU citizens’ biggest concerns, and MEPs poised to consider major laws on capital markets and a digital euro, financial issues are going to be a key part of their five-year mandate. Here’s eight of the most prominent names who coul...

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is visiting Rome to meet with Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and Forza Italia leader Antonio Tajani as the electoral campaign for the June European elections remains in full swing. On Monday, von der Leyen also addressed the questions arising over the possibility of entering into a coalition with the European Conservatives and Reformists Party (ECR Party), stating that she is willing to "work with all those who are clearly committed to the rule of law," news agency ANSA reported. Italian PM and right-wing Brothers of Italy leader Giorgia...

Across the bloc, hard-right parties are roping in voters with promises to slash migration figures, slam the brakes on climate action and strip back EU powers - all in defence of so-called “national sovereignty.” The right-wing surge predicted by the polls has raised concern that a bolstered Eurosceptic camp could strain the coalition of progressive, pro-European parties that has reigned over Brussels for decades. But these right-wing parties remain deeply disunited on a raft of critical issues - in particular foreign policy, the EU’s support for Ukraine and the rule of law. These divisions mea...

The EU elections, due to be held between 6 June and 9 June this year, have already drawn a significant amount of attention, with several parties promising different regulations and facilities, especially for businesses. According to the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), this year's elections could potentially swing to the right in several countries, because of an increase in the appeal of populist radical right parties. On the other side, green parties, and centre-left parties' sway could quickly decrease. The outcome of the EU elections could have a significant impact on trade pol...

The declaration, titled "In Defence of Democracy," was released on Wednesday with the signatures of the Socialists & Democrats (S&D), Renew Europe, the Greens/EFA and The Left but, remarkably, without the stamp of the centre-right formation. The two-page statement is a reaction to the attack against Matthias Ecke, a socialist MEP who was beaten up over the weekend while he was putting up campaign posters in Dresden, Germany. Four suspects, aged between 17 and 18, have been identified in connection to the incident, which sent shockwaves through Brussels. Ursula von der Leyen, the EPP's lead can...

The European Parliament must publish details of the expense claims made by jailed Golden Dawn MEP Ioannis Lagos, judges said today (8 May). Lagos was sentenced by a Greek court to over 13 years in jail when his far-right party was deemed a criminal organisation in 2020, but continued to claim a salary and expenses from the European Parliament for months after. The request for information is legitimate as it’s "intended to facilitate enhanced public scrutiny and accountability with regard to Mr Lagos’ access to public funds” in the exceptional circumstances of the case, the EU’s General Court s...

The breach, dating back to early 2024, was uncovered two weeks ago as the European Parliament intensified efforts to reinforce its cybersecurity in preparation for the upcoming European elections in June, a press officer from the European Parliament told Euronews. The compromised application which has now been taken offline is called 'PEOPLE', and collated sensitive information related to around 8,000 candidates for temporary positions (including parliamentary assistants and contractual agents) and provided them with details about the recruitment process. "All active or past users potentially ...
