In the first plenary at the European Parliament, over 50% of MEPs are entering the Strasbourg chamber for the first time. Today, 18 July, the European Parliament will decide whether to elect Ursula von der Leyen as European Commission president.

Who are the European Parliament newcomers? In this episode, Radio Schuman interview a few newly elected politicians, including ex-prime ministers and famous influencer on TikTok.

Several EU countries are unhappy about European Commission's boycott of the Hungarian presidency, a move seen as an electoral strategy used by Ursula von der Leyen to be re-appointed today as a European Commission president.

On our summer theme, we look at how drones combat over tourism on Greek beaches.
