Richard Schenk

Join Richard Schenk, a Research Fellow at MCC Brussels specializing in European defense and Arctic strategy, along with Agnieszka Kolek, Head of Cultural Engagement, as they dive into Europe's strategic failures. They dissect the precarious situation in Greenland, where NATO's weaknesses are laid bare. Discussions on the Mercosur deal reveal the EU's financial missteps impacting farmers deeply. Meanwhile, they critique Hungary's political maneuvering as the EU struggles with rule-of-law inconsistencies and its image as a democratic guardian.

Herman Kelly, President of the Irish Freedom Party, speaks passionately about the EU's destructive climate policies that threaten farmers' livelihoods, while Richard Schenk, a research analyst, sheds light on media bias and its impact on public perception. They discuss the notion of environmentalism as new feudalism and critique the EU's rigid migration policies. The conversation reveals a troubling synergy between state-funded media and propaganda, reinforcing the divide between ordinary citizens and EU institutions.

Join political commentator Richard Schenk and António Tânger Corrêa, MEP and Vice-President of Chega, as they dissect the shifting landscape of European politics. They discuss the potential collapse of leftist coalitions tied to radical Islamism, the surprising rise of Chega in Portugal, and the implications of recent Dutch elections as a backlash against bureaucratic governance. The duo also explores whether the European Court of Human Rights can be reformed and how traditional parties are losing their grip amid a blurring centrist system.
