In our second Europe Votes show, we zoom in on farmers in Brussels and in France. Milk producers have rallied in the Belgian and EU capital, drawing attention to the struggles they face in being paid a fair price for their produce. And in France, the main political lists competing in the June 9 election have been courting farmers as they meet with the powerful farmers’ union FNSEA.
In our Everyday Europe segment, Luke Brown unpacks the term “Kabelsalat”. The German term is used to designate the piles of cables and cords lying around most households, something that the EU is planning to reduce.
We also look at how voting from abroad works in the EU election. And our correspondent in Bucharest, Maria Gerth-Niculescu, examines the rise of populist ideas in the EU election in Romania.
