ILGA-Europe have drafted a letter to European Parliament President Roberta Metsola following last week’s shameful scenes at the European Parliament on the occasion of the adoption of the Return Regulation, calling on her to publicly condemn the chanting of the MEPs, and take measures to ensure that the EP’s Code of Conduct are properly applied.
This event follows a concerning trend of discriminatory speech and actions in the Parliament, including racist, sexist and LGBTI-phobic speech and actions, during this new parliamentary term. For some time now ILGA-Europe have been raising this with the President’s office, including trying to address this with her and her staff in dedicated meetings, however ILGA said it has not seen adequate action and the trend continues, with debates increasingly deteriorating.
You can access the letter in full here.
