On the campaign trail with Yanis Varoufakis
Populist parties are expected to make gains in the EU elections – but can anything unite progressives?
Former Greek finance minister and co-founder of the Democracy in Europe movement, Yanis Varoufakis says it's the 'Green New Deal' and climate change.
Varoufakis is spearheading a transnational coalition called the European Spring - their central policy is a proposal for a pan-European Green New Deal.

Gabriel Gatehouse met Varoufakis and Le Pen on the campaign trail.
