EUX.TV presents ‘Covering Europe; European journalists analyzing the state of Europe.’

In this June 2009 post-election edition, EUX.TV moderator Raymond Frenken sits down with Lisbeth Kirk, editor of EUobserver.com; Swedish freelance journalist Teresa Kuchler; New Europe editor Alex Koronakis; and Stafford Wadsworth, editor of Meuse Rhine Journal.

Together, they analyze the impact of the European elections on the EU process, the new composition of the European parliament, including the Swedish Pirates Party and the potential impact of Dutch right-wingers of Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party; the chances of Jose Manuel Barroso’s second term as president of the European commission; and other issues that will appear on the European agenda in the coming months, such as the new Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

This program was recorded on Tuesday 9th of June 2009 in the Berlaymont studio of the European Commission in Brussels. The studio was made available to EUX.TV on the condition that the “European Union” would be the topic of the program.
