This week we’re sharing the recording of the event we held in Dublin on Saturday 24th June, Neutrality: Who Cares? This is part one, featuring Clare, Mick, Ann Wright, Yanis Varoufakis and Sevim Dagdelen, MP for Die Linke, Germany. Part 2 to follow soon. Ann Wright served for 29 years in the US Army and 16 years as a US diplomat in US embassies in Nicaragua, Grenada, Somalia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan and Mongolia. She resigned from the US government in March 2023 in opposition to George Bush's war on Iraq. She has been a strong anti-war voice for the past 20 years. She is the co-author of "Dissent: Voices of Conscience." Yanis Varoufakis is Greek politician and former Greek Finance Minister. In 2016, he co-founded DiEM25, Europe’s first transnational pan-European movement. In 2018, together with US Senator Bernie Sanders, he established the Progressive International – a global movement with affiliated members of over 200 million people from across the world. In addition to these organisational endeavours, he has travelled extensively giving talks and participating in various activist events and projects. He is the author of several best-selling books. His latest, Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism, will be released in autumn 2023. Sevim Dagdelen of the Left Party (Die Linke) has been elected four times as a member of the German Bundestag for North Rhine Westphalia. She is Deputy Leader of her party in parliament and chair of the German-Turkish parliamentary group, as well as spokeswoman for the Left Party parliamentary group on the Bundestag's Committee on Foreign Affairs. She previously worked as a journalist for German and Turkish newspapers.

EP 168 - A goodbye for now...
Join us for what could be the last episode of I4C Trouble. As the mandate comes to an end, Mick and Clare reflect on their years in Brussels. It's been a disappointing yet rewarding experience, where we've strived to use our platform to amplify the struggle for peace, anti-imperialism and a European Union that works for the interest its people. We'll fight to be back after the elections, but whatever happens, thank you for having been part of this mad journey.
EP 167 - What's the role of the EU in Gaza's genocide? (with Jedaal)
This week we're sharing our conversation with Ali Alizadeh for his podcast Jedaal TV. Ali questioned us on the role of the EU in the genocide in Gaza and the war in Ukraine, and what's most important: where do we go from here?
EP 166 - Francesca Albanese's report and the Migration Pact
This week we welcomed Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, to present her report ‘Anatomy of a Genocide’ in the European Parliament. Together with Diana Buttu and Daniel Levy, the panel offered invaluable insights into the current crisis in Gaza, its historical and legal context, and Europe’s responsibility to defend international law. And on another blow to human rights, the Parliament has passed the EU Asylum and Migration Pact, a shameful reform that weakens protections and access to asylum, and gives away billions in public money to the defence and arms industry. Tune in to hear about this and more!
EP 165 - Aid workers killed in Gaza and dissident republicans
We're back after a busy green week of very interesting meetings and events in Ireland and Italy. And how lucky that our return coincides with NATO's 75th anniversary... 75 years of US-led terrorism and impunity. And on that line, Israel continues to escalate tensions internationally, having killed 7 World Central Kitchen aid workers, and bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria.
On a different note, we are happy to have welcomed members of the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association (IRPWA) for a meeting on the role of European security services in the violating of the civil rights of Irish political prisoners. Together with Catalan and Spanish colleagues, it was a great chance to discuss the widespread of state harassment against dissenting voices.
EP 164 - Elections and resignations
Leo Varadkar's resignation as Irish Taoiseach has taken most by surprise. Mick and Clare discuss what type of legacy he's leaving behind as they debunk the idea it's related to his comments on Palestine while in Washington for Saint Patrick's day. And while some resigned, others were being re-elected. Putin's victory has not come as much of a surprise, but while he is criticised for the lack of electoral transparency, we don't see enough outrage at our very own unelected bureaucrat Ursula von der Leyen and her power grab on EU foreign affairs.
