In pioneering Lithuania, the first all-women list in the country’s political history has been unveiled. The Lithuanian Greens are hoping that this list will help more women get elected to the European Parliament, where men still make up around 60% of the members.

Sophie Samaille and Luke Brown recap the landmark legislative moments of the outgoing 2019-2024 European parliament.
