Episode 99: Frans Timmermans and Margrethe Vestager, rivals for European Commission president - a podcast by POLITICO Europe

We have a double-header this week: interviews with both Frans Timmermans (Socialist) and Margrethe Vestager (Liberal), two rivals to become European Commission president.

Ryan Heath and Nazan Gökdemir jointly interviewed the candidates as part of a television series for ARTE, the franco-german television network.
