The EU elections – Setting the scene with Maja Kluger Dionigi from Think Europe

In the first of three episodes on the EU ahead of the European Parliament elections on Sunday, we set the scene with Maja Kluger Dionigi, a senior researcher at the pro-EU think tank Think Europe. She helps us understand who the European Parliament works, what the big issues are heading into the election – and why Danish welfare was built on EU rules

Tomorrow I speak to Peter Laugesen, a journalist and co-founder of Our Europe. Together with his wife Elena Maria Askløf, he has spent five years traveling Europe to talk to young people about their dreams and insecurities. 

On Sunday, its the turn of Rasmus Munch Soendergaard, a member of the Danish Peoples Party who warns that a borderless Europe is the biggest threat to peace on the continent.
