Megan's Megacan, May 23, 2021 - The Whistleblower Special

Dieselgate, Wirecard, Heckler & Koch - Germany has one of the weakest whistleblower protection laws in the developed world – but not for long, thanks to campaigners like Veronika Nad. Veronika comes on the show to explain why the German government is slowing everything down - again - and what it's like trying to get the European Union to listen to you.

PS: Also, there's a small correction on the story involving the date of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia's death: Veronika says this didn't happen during the European Parliament's vote on the whistleblower protection law itself – as she said on the show - but on the European Parliament's vote on the initial report on the law, which happened a year earlier, in 2017. You'll figure it out.
