Left-wing MEPs call for removal of exhibition deemed 'anti-abortion' at European Parliament
Leaders of the far-left, Green, and social-democrat groups denounce an exhibition highlighting the 'miracle of life,' which they say is linked to a campaign against abortion rights.
Several left-wing MEPs have called for the removal of an exhibition displayed at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, which they describe as 'anti-abortion.' According to Le Monde, the exhibition highlights the 'miracle of life.'
Manon Aubry, leader of the far-left group, Terry Reintke, co-leader of the Greens, and Iratxe Garcia Perez, leader of the social-democrat group, jointly condemned the exhibition. In their view, it is 'in fact part of a broader campaign opposed to the right to abortion.'
The three political leaders did not specify, based on available information, the exact organizers of the exhibition or the precise context of its presentation within the European institution.
This call for removal comes at a time when abortion rights remain a subject regularly debated within European institutions, between those advocating stronger protection of this right at the EU level and movements campaigning for its restriction.
The European Parliament has not publicly responded, according to available information, to this request for removal.
