Plenary focus - February

By denying asylum seekers international protection and also closing its borders, the EU is cosying up to authoritarian regimes and is hurtling towards a militarised superunion. Instead, it should guarantee safe and legal ways to Europe and step up its efforts to support and promote human rights defenders - including women human rights defenders - all around the world in their struggle to achieve democracy, women’s rights and rule of law in their countries.

Glyphosate has become the symbol of everything that is wrong with the EU: putting multinationals and money before our health and the environment. With a special committee, we can expose the industry’s manipulation, uncover the failures of the EFSA and to tackle the loopholes in our legislation. This special committee can provide all the transparency that EU citizens demand and deserve.
