Far-right gains in EU vote shake Europe

CGTN

29:20

Leaders in France and Germany are still reeling from the strong showing by far-right parties in European parliamentary elections last weekend, though liberal and socialist parties are set to retain a majority in the EU parliament. What does the result of the elections tell us about the political dynamics in Europe? How will the changes in seats affect future policy-making in the EU? And what could be the impact on trade with China, especially during a time of EU protectionism and "de-risking"?

Guests in this episode are Prof. Jing Men, director of the Centre for European Studies of East China Normal University; Lorenzo Castellani, professor of history of Political Institutions of LUISS Guido Carli; Joel Ruet, chairman of the Bridge Tank; and Prof. Iain Begg from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
