Meet the people behind our politicians. In this podcast our team sits down with Greens/EFA Members of the European Parliament for an unfiltered conversation. What drives them in their work? How do they make sure European policy responds to people’s real world problems?
As 2025 is coming to an end, we invited the Greens/EFA Co-Presidents Terry Reintke and Bas Eickhout to join us for a review of the year and to look ahead to 2026. We talked about their highlights and about moments they would have liked to press the skip button. Who will make it to their naughty or nice list?
In a “festive mood” we look back to some inspiring moments of 2025: Budapest Pride, My Voice My Choice and our amazing MEPs negotiating groundbreaking deals. You might also pick up on some personal music recommendations.
Of course we end by looking ahead to 2026 and discuss what Terry and Bas are looking forward to in the new year.
On behalf of the Greens/EFA podcast team, we all wish you a nice Christmas time and the best for 2026!
