This time the European elections through an Italian lens. Annette receives Italy correspondent Anouk Boone, from the Financieele Dagblad. Prime Minister Meloni is on the ballot paper for the June elections. What does she want with the EU? And what do people in Europe want with her? Both Von der Leyen and Orban are flirting with the Prime Minister of Italy around these European elections.
Tips and references from this episode:
– Anouk Boone recommends ‘Het verboden schrift’ by Alba de Céspedes
– Annette recommends the new book by Steven Van Hecke: ‘Het kantelende continent – Overleeft Europa de 21ste eeuw?’
