This week Mick, Clare and Damien wonder what people talked about in the European Parliament before the war. They discuss a debate on “Putins cronies” in Europe, an excuse to bash any voices for peace, and the explosion of the Nord stream pipelines. They also discuss the release of a report on sanctions (read the report at https://mickwallace.net/study-unilateral-coercive-measures-and-eu-law/), EU presence in Africa and finally the ongoing floods in Pakistan.
