Midlands Northwest MEP Luke Ming Flanagan criticises EU recovery plan for pandemic

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Midlands Northwest MEP Luke Ming Flanagan claims the EU's plan to help countries recover from the coronavirus pandemic will lead to more austerity.

Yesterday European leaders signed off on an immediate 540 billion euro package to help countries who've been badly hit.

They've also agreed to work over the next two weeks on setting up an additional recovery fund, worth at least one trillion euro.

But MEP Luke 'Ming' Flanagan is strongly criticising the plans.
