Welcoming Franco-Iranian professor Azadeh Kian as Parliament\u2019s guest in Strasbourg, President Metsola said that the situation in Iran remains of great concern, and noted that the brutal death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini has marked a turning point, with women leading the push for change. The European Parliament stands proudly with everyone demanding change in Iran, stated the President: \u201cMy message to every woman fighting for their rights in Iran: you are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With the EU ambassador to Nicaragua forced to leave the country last Saturday, the President condemned the Nicaraguan regime\u2019s latest unilateral measures, only two weeks after the Parliament called for a peaceful and democratic solution to the political, social and human rights crisis. The Parliament remains committed to restoring the rules-based order in the interests of the Nicaraguan people, said the President.<\/p>\n

Nine years to the day since the shipwreck off the coast of Lampedusa resulted in 360 deaths, the President urged for a humane and European way forward on migration. Recalling that Parliament promised change at the time of the tragedy and reiterated this promise many times following subsequent tragedies, she said: \u201cWe can and must do better.\u201d<\/p>\n
