The European Greens Podcast

In this thought-provoking episode, we tackle the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), a highly litigated investment protection treaty that protects investments in fossil fuels, making it incompatible with the fight against climate change. It explores the reasons why the European Union should #ExitTheECT, which protects private companies' investments against state policies. The first part of the podcast features Andrej Gnezda from Umanotera who examines one case where the ECT pushed Slovenia to weaken fracking rules. Then, join Sibylle Steffan as she sits down with Green MEP Anna Cavazzini, who has been leading the position of the Green Group in the European Parliament on the matter.

Join Sibylle Steffan as she sits down with Matthew Caruana Galizia, the son of the late journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia and Maria Luisa Stasi, head of law and policy for digital markets. In this powerful episode, they delve into the shocking story of Daphne's assassination, which rocked Europe five years ago. As they pay tribute to her legacy and discuss her tireless efforts to uncover high-level corruption in Malta, they also explore the pressing issues of editorial independence, freedom of the press, and protecting journalists and their families from the use of spyware. With the EU's Media Freedom Act now in place, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of journalism and the fight for media freedom.
