EU Confidential Podcast with Ryan Heath

Host Ryan Heath talks to David McAllister, head of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee and a key ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

McAllister says the U.K.’s decision to leave the EU is a „historic mistake“ and Turkey’s authoritarian drift is “appalling.“ He also says the EU cannot slam the door on the membership aspirations of Western Balkan countries.

McAllister says that while “there aren’t many people who really believe that Martin Schulz could become German chancellor,” it would be a terrible mistake for the ruling CDU party to be complacent about their opinion poll lead.

On Brexit, McAllister warns “the clock is ticking” for negotiators and said the U.K. needs to do more to bring the divorce talks forward.
