05/26/19 • 20 min

Rasmus Munch Søndergaard from the Danish People's Party explains the party's views on Europe, especially on the need for strong outer borders.
This is the third episode on the EU Election. In the previous episode I spoke to Peter Laugesen, a journalist and co-founder the project Our Europe, who shared his unique insights into the state of Europe, the reality of life for young people across continent, and why far-right groups that target the young should be listened to.
In the first EU Election episode, we set the scene with Maja Kluger Dionigi, a senior researcher at the pro-EU think tank Think Europe.

Previous Episode

The EU elections – Talking about Europe's youth with Peter Laugesen

This is the second of three episodes on the EU ahead of the European Parliament elections on Sunday, May 25. In it, we speak to Peter Laugesen, a journalist and co-founder the project Our Europe. He and his wife Elena Maria Askløf have spent five years traveling Europe together to talk to young people about their dreams and insecurities. He shares his unique insights into the state of Europe, the reality of life for young people across continent, and why far-right groups that target the young should be listened to.

In the previous episode we set the scene with Maja Kluger Dionigi, a senior researcher at the pro-EU think tank Think Europe. She helps us understand how the European Parliament works, and what the big issues are heading into the election.

In the next episode it's the turn of Rasmus Munch Søndergaard, a member of the Danish Peoples Party who warns that the biggest threat to peace on the continent is a borderless Europe.

One week to go – Countdown to the general election

We take a quick look at the results of the European Parliament elections and discuss the winners, the losers, and the candidate who, despite winning one of Denmark’s coveted 14 seats, decided he never really wanted the job in the first place. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And we speak to Karina Kosiara-Pedersen, an Associate Professor at the Department of Political science at the university of Copenhagen about the lay of the land with just one week to go before the general election.
