European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas has been in Canberra this week. Among other things he's been finding a way to “mend fences” to find a path to a successful free trade agreement with Australia after the failure of talks in Osaka. Halso talks to SBS's Political Correspondent Anna Henderson about Europe's apparent surge to the right, with Italy's Giorgia Meloni and the recent election of Geert Vilders in the Netherlands. He also discusses Islamaphobic nationalism in the EU and the looming deal on immigration the EU is preparing to finalise.
