In this episode of FEPS Talks, host Matteo Dressler, our Policy Analyst for democracy and participation, sits down with Sabrina Repp, the youngest member of the European Parliament representing the S&D Group. With a background in activism for Germany's Young Socialists (JUSOS), Sabrina brings a fresh and youthful perspective to European politics.

The conversation touches on her experience as a young MEP, as well as the recent elections in Eastern Germany, where the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) made significant gains. Sabrina provides insight into the political climate in her home region and reflects on what these results could mean for the broader European political landscape.

Together, they discuss the role of young voters, the rise of radical right parties, and how Social Democrats can better connect with younger generations. Sabrina also shares her thoughts on how the European Parliament can address the issues fueling the far-right's success, especially through her work on youth- and regional policies.

Tune in to hear Sabrina's firsthand experiences and her vision for a more engaged, democratic future.
