TN.cz | Last session of the European Parliament before the elections

The last plenary session of the European Parliament before the June elections took place in Strasbourg, France. In addition to the ceremonial commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the biggest EU enlargement to date, which also saw the Czech Republic become a member state, MEPs also discussed the Iranian attack on Israel and a regulation to combat violence against women. Martin Vokálek, director of the EUROPEUM Institute, gave a detailed analysis of the meeting for TN.cz.

There were also debates on the Iranian attack on Israel, where the attack was strongly condemned. At the same time, there was a call for the Islamic National Guard to be included on the list of terrorist organisations, which would then allow sanctions to be imposed on such an organisation at European level.
