The EU Parliament's Perpetual Commuting
Not Rated
S10 • E28 Feb 18, 2026 31mEvery month, the entire European Parliament relocates. 720 members of parliament and thousands of staff members move from Brussels to Strasbourg, some 400 kilometers away, for almost four days – only to return again afterward. It's a practice that many no longer consider sensible. Can Europe really still afford this "traveling circus"?
