Original description of the show by Radio VC Mytilene
A lot has been said about the terrible and daily practice of pushbacks. But how is it funded? And what does that say about the general funding decisions of the European Union? In this broadcast we try to provide an overview on how your tax money flows from member states, to the European Commission into the pockets of corporations, programs and police or military forces that either benefit or perpetrate from systemic violations of human rights.
