Since the 2019 elections, this European Parliament has had to face various challenges, from Brexit to Covid-19, including the war in Ukraine and scandals like Qatargate. At the same time, it has managed to legislate on key issues such as climate change, AI and migration.
In this episode, we look back at the ups and downs of the last five years of the European legislature.
Host Sarah Wheaton is joined by a panel of POLITICO colleagues: data journalist Hanne Cokelaere; sustainable development journalist Louise Guillot; editor-in-chief Nicholas Vinocur; political editor Joanna Roberts; and European Parliament correspondent Eddy Wax. They share their experiences covering Parliament and weigh in on which of the bloc’s 705 MEPs deserves POLITICO’s 2024 nonAWARDs.
