Laura Fleischmann

Thomas Waitz, an Austrian MEP and ecological farmer, passionately critiques the Mercosur trade deal, arguing it endangers small farmers and rural communities. He labels the Commission's safeguards as mere 'tranquilizers' that fail to protect local interests. Laura Fleischmann shares insights about Chancellor Friedrich Merz's role in Berlin's diplomatic landscape and the peace talks related to Ukraine. Both guests highlight the tension between corporate profit and farmers' livelihoods in Europe.
