In today’s episode, we take a closer look at the busy life of António Costa’s right-hand man, Pedro Lourtie.
The head of the Council of Europe President’s cabinet was recently criticized for opening back roads with Moscow on behalf of his boss. Zoya Sheftalovich and Nick Vinocur dig deeper into who this man is and how he does his job.
Also on the show: European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is asking MEPs to vote again on a bill to combat child sexual abuse material – even though it was rejected by MEPs in March. To do so, he relies on the EU’s less-used mechanism.
Finally: Allegations that Hungary’s secret service was operating out of the country’s embassy in Brussels were big news in town last year. We have received documents from the investigation.
