Suriname: Europe's most extreme neighbor? I ATLAS
A country that almost nobody knows about, but which borders the EU directly. And this despite the fact that the country isn't even located on the European continent. In #Suriname, Pablo Escobar was treated like a VIP, a president was convicted of drug trafficking, and you can even make a lot of black money with illegal Coca-Cola. Does this make Suriname a genuine narco-state? And what consequences does this have for its direct neighbor, the European Union?
In the new episode of #ATLAS, we tell you about what is probably the weakest border in the European Union. And we reveal why a piece of the #EU can be found in South America.
00:00 The EU in South America
