Episode 2 : Why the Klimaseniorinnen case matters for the whole of Europe

In a landmark ruling, the activists won. But now, Swiss lawmakers have voted to reject the court’s judgement. In Switzerland, and across Europe, the relationship between institutional politics and activist movements is shifting. Do the people still have the government’s ear?
