This week we receive a real investigative journalist in Europa Draait Door: Lise Witteman from Follow the Money. For years she has been lifting tiles in Brussels and scrutinizing politicians. She bundles this in her new book, in which she is extremely critical of the people who should monitor the goings-on in Brussels. And the European Parliament is increasingly under fire due to integrity scandals and stories of foreign interference. What does that mean for confidence in the EU, especially now that the European Elections are just around the corner? That and much more in a new episode of Europa Draait Door.
