Episode description

Exorbitant costs, carbon emissions, and time management are some of the reasons for scrapping the monthly commute of the entire European Parliament to Strasbourg, according to advocates of the idea. However, the dual residency of the institution is deeply rooted in European history and is actively supported by activists in the French city.

In this episode, host Giada Santana and activist Troy Davis discuss the pros and cons of the two-parliamentary seat design.
