EP 161 - Ceasefire Calls, #CareRef, Assange, Navalny and the Nature Restoration Law's Grand Finale
A bunch of important votes and debates in the EP plenary drew the attention of the Irish media this week. After nearly five years of ignoring the case of Julian Assange, MEPs finally agreed to allow a discussion of his case onto the agenda. So where does his case stand now? The hotly-debated Nature Restoration Law - one of the flagship pieces of legislation of this mandate - finally made it over the line in a watered down form. How should it be understood? After four months of cowardly semantics about "humanitarian pauses," the European Parliament finally backed a call for a real ceasefire in Gaza. But is it something to celebrate or has it come too late? Following the appalling death of Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison, are MEPs using it to pursue a geopolitical agenda? And as Ireland gears up for a constitutional referendum, is the Care Amendment a genuine improvement, or does it swap one form of inequality for another? Join us as we explore these questions and more.

Customer Reviews
Excellent human centred & straight talking updates from the European Parliament
Clare & Mick are a credit to Ireland, they present topics being covered in the European Parliament & give their critique. They gave credit to other MEPs for certain actions, and call out the hypocrisy of others. If you want to stay informed about EU & global affairs, you’d do well to listen to this…
Fascinating podcast
You won’t hear this information on main stream media in Ireland. Anti war and anti imperialism news amongst other subjects
I4C Chancers
Listener beware - disingenuous content here. They contradict themselves depending on what suits them and support / praise despotic regimes. I no longer trust these two who like Gemma O’Doherty started as credible only to become something else entirely.
