Members of the European Parliament requested a press conference in Strasbourg on 20 October 2021. The press conference called “Defending fundamental rights by opposing the misuse of Digital Green Certificate” was addressed by four MEPs: Christine Anderson (Germany, ID), Francesca Donato (Italy, NI), Ivan Vilibor Sinčić (Croatia, NI), and Cristian Terheş (Romania, ECR).
MEPs who have the moto “The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government” displayed on their website, are directly elected by voters across the Member States and are tasked with representing the interests of the people regarding EU law making and to ensure democracy within other EU institutions.
The Parliament shares the power to adopt and amend legislative proposals and their role is “not only in promoting democratic decision-making in Europe, but also in supporting the fight for democracy, freedom of speech and fair elections across the globe”.
