In Episode 3 of our podcast, Citizen Lobbyist, we continue our journey of demystifying the concept of lobbying as a legitimate democratic practice. Our hosts Fiorella Lavorgna and Alberto Alemanno discuss with Robert Madelin, one of the most influential figures in Brussels, the role of lobbying in policy-making.

Is lobbying a distortion of the democratic process? Why does lobbying scare people? If lobbying is legitimate, what happens when it goes too far? Tune in as we reveal the answers to these questions and explore the role of lobbying during this unprecedented COVID-19 crisis.
