Good meeting with Felix Bolaños @M_Presidencia, to prepare the upcoming 🇪🇸 Presidency and discuss the recommendations of the 2022 #RuleOfLaw Report.
The lack of renewal of the Council for the Judiciary remains a concern and solutions need to be found as a matter of priority.

Tonight our buildings adorn the colours of Ukraine.
We honour the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

RT @VeraJourova: Today, we refer Poland to the EU Court of Justice #ECJ for violations of EU law by its Constitutional Tribunal. Its rulings of of 14 July 2021 and 7 October 2021 challenged the primacy of EU law.
EU law must be equally applied across the Union.

We will always remember the millions of victims murdered during the Holocaust.
But remembrance is not an aim in itself.
We must go a step further.
Let us fight antisemitism, which is on the rise today.
And let us make Jewish life prosper in an open, equal EU society.
