EP4 - Solidarity, Sanctions, Migration and Privacy during COVID-19

Published: April 1, 2020, 1:46 p.m.

b"In the fourth episode of I4C Trouble, MEPs Daly & Wallace continue to delve into some of the key issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, chief among them the failures of the EU to show solidarity, internally and externally. They look at the genocidal effects of US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela during the crisis, discuss the worsening situation and abuses of rights in migrant camps on EU borders and warn that the government's emergency response to COVID-19 could very easily become a power grab, eroding data protection and privacy in the long term.\\n\\nKindly presented by Damien Thomson, political adviser to the GUE/NGL group."
