Semsrott:Brüssel sehen und sterben

The European Parliament – a brilliant idea. Unfortunately, in reality, it's a joke, and a very bad one at that. Nico Semsrott honestly and humorously shares his experiences from five years in the European Parliament. From the pointless commuting between Brussels and Strasbourg, which encapsulates everything that defines the Parliament at its core: waste of taxpayer money, tragedy, and sheer nonsense. About greedy parliamentarians who leave no absurd privilege unused and constantly enrich themselves. And about his exhausting self-experiment to eat for free at countless lobbying events in Brussels without engaging in small talk. Because he quickly realizes: In a place where we desperately need justice and trust, corruption is rarely punished, but most often rewarded. Nico Semsrott entered the strangest job in the world as an idealist, but to save his last ideals, he voluntarily ends his political career. It's depressing, but at least he no longer has to consider anything or anyone. A tragicomic, insightful account from the depths of the European Parliament.
