Toute sa vie durant, il est resté très attentif à sa famille, malgré la lourde charge qu’il accomplissait avec sagesse et un grand sens du devoir. Il pouvait aussi compter sur le soutien précieux de son épouse, ma mère, la Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte. Tourné vers les autres, il avait cette faculté d’écoute exceptionnelle qui touchait chaque personne qu’il rencontrait. C’était une personne au caractère éminemment positif. Curieux de tout, il participait quelques jours encore avant son hospitalisation au Forum organisé par mon épouse ou visitait une exposition. Il suivait tout ce qui se passait dans le pays. Même l’épineux dossier du “Brexit” n’avait que peu de secrets pour lui. Je suis persuadé que cette disposition d’esprit et sa vivacité ont été les garants de sa longévité. Dans son cercle plus intime, sa joie de vivre rayonnait sur nous tous et son sens de l’humour nous faisait parfois rire aux larmes. Il était d’un soutien constant, en nous encourageant et en nous félicitant dans nos actions, tout en respectant entièrement nos choix et nos décisions. Bien sûr, l’autre ambition de sa vie fut l’amour profond qu’il portait à sa patrie et la très grande affection qu’il vouait à ses compatriotes dans leur unité et leur diversité.

  • Ms Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue De La Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels
    Ms Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200 1049 Brussels Mr Charles Michel, President of the European Council European Commission Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 175 1049 Brussels Brussels, 27 July 2020 Dear President von der Leyen, Dear President Michel, With this letter, we would like to draw your attention to the Polish government’s expressed intent to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention on fighting domestic violence. This latest development shows that we can never take women’s rights for granted. This is disrespectful, a clear violation of women’s rights and unacceptable. The signal the Polish government is sending is a highly troubling one in times that are already challenging for women. Women have been hit disproportionally hard by the Covid-19 crisis and face an increase in cases of domestic violence. The European Union is founded upon shared values that are enshrined in our Treaties, amongst them equality between men and women. We cannot regress on these core values stipulated in Article 2 TEU. We should never accept it when one of our Member States backtracks from equality. That is why we call on you, as the President of the European Commission, guardian of the treaties, and as the President of the European Council, to do everything within your power to discourage the Polish government from taking this misstep. Madam President, in your political guidelines, you made the commitment that the EU’s accession to the Istanbul Convention is a key priority for the Commission and that if the accession remains blocked in the Council, you would consider tabling proposals on minimum standards regarding the definition of certain types of violence, and strengthening the Victims’ Rights Directive.

    Ramona-Victoria Strugariu European Parliament, WIB 05M047 1047, Brussels Brussels, 30th of April 2020 Dear Commissioner Breton, Dear Commissioner Gabriel, The Corona virus crisis is not only a medical, logistical and economic challenge, it is also a cultural challenge. As it was also underlined in the resolution of the European Parliament adopted on the 17th of April 2020 - EU coordinated action to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, the cultural and creative sectors in the Member States have been hit especially hard due to the closure of cinemas, theatres and music venues and the sudden stop of ticket sales. The current crisis is particularly critical for cultural and creative sectors due to the sudden and massive loss of revenue opportunities. In the aforementioned resolution, the European Parliament has also pointed out that these sectors have high numbers of freelance and self- employed workers, many of whom were struggling well before the outbreak and that the effects are particularly dire for creative professionals, whose income streams have been unexpectedly reduced to zero and who now have little or no support from the social system. The current situation creates therefore a structural threat to the survival of many actors involved in cultural and creative production. And yet cultural actors have found creative ways to offer hope amid the COVID-19 crisis and showed their solidarity in very concrete ways. Many cultural institutions and actors have provided online and free content in recent weeks, aware of the fact that the availability of cultural contents contributes to the mental health and the general well-being of our populations, especially in times of crisis when citizens are confronted with the reality of disease and lockdowns.

  • ARDI Letter To
    Brussels, 19 July 2021 To: President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach, President of World Athletics Sebastian Coe Honourable Excellences, On July 2nd, the newspaper the Guardian1 reported that the International Swimming Federation (ISF) rejected the ‘Soul Cap’, a swimming cap for natural Black hair, saying it does not ‘fit the natural form of the head’. Soul Cap swimming caps are specifically designed for swimming athletes with Black natural hair, which is “thick, curly, and voluminous”. The ISFs conclusion based on their “best knowledge” saying that “the athletes competing at the international events never used, neither require (…) caps of such size and configuration” consequently lead to a ban of the Soul Cap swimming at the Olympics. This decision reflects stigmatisation of Black hair and leads to institutional inequalities, especially targeting Black women. Stigmatisation of Black women and their bodies is not a new phenomenon. It has many different forms and we have seen it before in the case of Caster Semenya who has appealed to the European Court of Human Rights, the Williams sisters, Simone Biles, and most recently Alice Dearing, who will be the first Black female swimmer in history to represent Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics. Stigmatization of Black women’s bodies also applies in the case of the two 18-year-old cisgender sprinters from Namibia, Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi. They have been banned from running in the Olympic 400-meter dash2 due to their natural high testosterone levels. According to the World Athletics Organisation, their natural testosterone levels are too high for women’s sports.

  • Mr Josep Borell High Representative and Vice-President of the European Commission
    Mr Josep Borell High Representative and Vice-President of the European Commission [email protected] Brussels, 23 April 2020 Dear High Representative, dear Mr. Borrell, Official EU condemnation of arrests in Hong Kong and request for information on missing Corona whistleblowers in China Three urgent matters make us write this letter to you. Firstly, we urge you to issue a strong condemnation of the arrests of the fifteen opposition leaders in Hong Kong. China and the authorities in Hong Kong seem to use the Covid-19 crisis to crackdown on the opposition and pro-democracy movement. The United States, the UK and Australia have already condemned the arrests, but the European Union has not yet given any formal reaction so far. The Hong Kong police arrested these pro-democracy activists accusing them of organising and participating in unlawful protests. These arrests followed months of massive protests, in which millions participated to express their dissatisfaction with China’s moves to control Hong Kong’s internal affairs. The arrests seem to be an attempt to intimidate and weaken the pro-democracy forces ahead of the elections in September. With the global attention focused on containing the Corona virus, China is using this crisis to crush the democratic movement in Hong Kong. These political prosecutions are in clear violation of universal human rights and are not only an attack on Hong Kong’s freedoms, but also on the international rules- based order. We believe it is of the utmost importance that the European Union sends a very strong and clear message to the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities that such actions are unacceptable.

The new proposal is based on the latest text on RSP and is closely aligned with the policy guidance provided under the European Semester. Its objectives have been revised and the delivery mode of the Facility has been adapted to take into account the new realities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In this new context, it is of crucial importance to strategically plan the recovery and ensure sustainable growth by strengthening the resilience of the European economies and societies. The Recovery and Resilience Facility will be a key programme of the European Union Recovery Instrument as part of the revised Multiannual Financial Framework. The Facility is also part of a range of measures developed in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic such as the “Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative”. The Facility aims to provide large scale financial support to boost the design and implementation of much needed longer-term reforms and related public investments in the Member States.

    Samira Rafaela c.s., Members of European Parliament Parlamentum Europaeum to: his excellency Charles Michel, President of the Council of the European Union Brussels, 10 March 2020 Re: Democratic deficit in the European Parliament and the necessary revision of the European Electoral Act Y our Excellency, The European Union is a beacon for democracy, freedom and the rule of law. These values have made Europe objectively one of the best places for its citizens to live and to thrive. Membership of the EU has served to inspire Member States to foster these values to the fullest. In the process, the European community has evolved into a political entity with democratic institutions to safeguard and promote the values we cherish, namely through our directly elected European Parliament, which in tum elects the European Commission. Furthermore, democratically elected governments back the members of your Council. There still are however, flaws in the democratic fabric of our ever-evolving Union. Today we urge you and your Council to address one of these flaws. A European Union that values equality between the citizens that make up our society should have institutions that reflects those values. Currently the Act concerning the election of the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage is limiting citizens' representation in the European Parliament, where their Members exercise their right to maternity, paternity or parental leave during the latter stages of pregnancy or following the birth of a child. Not only are such limitations creating a democratic deficit for some European citizens but they further undermine the core European tenet of gender equality, with the majority of Members affected being pregnant and post-natal women.
