The European Parliament voted this month on a resolution on EU action on COVID19 . Not in Strasbourg - we parliamentarians had to get used to "remote voting". Therefore I could not give a plenary speech, so I just put it online. One point was particularly important to me: our solidarity must not end at the EU's external borders!
The global impact of the pandemic was also the subject of my twitter thread on the aspects that EU foreign policy must not forget. After all, for many people the realities are very different from here in Europe. How is it possible to practice "social distancing" in an overcrowded refugee camp in Syria? What can a gender-sensitive response to the crisis look like? How do human rights defenders fare when they are imprisoned in prisons with disastrous hygiene standards? Answers to this question can be found in my thread.
