Anti-Discrimination Report

http://www.greens-efa-service.org/medialib/fe/pub/en/dct/335

Good report here about the anti-Discrimination report adopted by the European Parliament due to the efforts of the Dutch Green MEP, Kathalijne Buitenweg and opposed, at least initially, by the Christian Democrats. Worth bearing in mind that this group in the Parliament, the European People's Party, also includes (for the moment) our own Conservative Party. However, after the European elections, Cameron is leading the Tories into the political wilderness in Europe and they could end up in a new political grouping with some very strange bedfellows indeed - one of them being the notoriously homophobic Law and Justice Party from Poland. In the meantime, Berlusconi has just formed a new large party of the Right, including the neo-Fascists, and they in turn will be joining the European People's Party. So the political version of musicial chairs continues.

Meanwhile the Greens continue to fight for LGBT rights across Europe - against both Fascists in Italy, far Right Catholic conservatives in Poland and "the nasty party" in the UK.
