Description

In this episode of our daily ‘Today in the EU’ podcast, we examine the latest scandal to affect Germany's right-wing populist AfD party.Far from new to scandals, alarm bells have started ringing after senior member Petr Bystron, who is running for European Parliament in the June elections, was reportedly caught accepting money from the pro-Russian disinformation site, the Voice of Europe.But is he the only one, and with just two months until Europe heads to the polls, is Parliament ready to tackle this scandal? To answer these burning questions and delve deeper into the scandal shaking EU and German politics, I am joined by Kjeld Neubert, Euractiv's politics reporter in Berlin.
