Macron affirmed that it is necessary “to update this Charter so that it is more explicit on the protection of the environment or the recognition of the right to abortion.”
In a speech lasting about 20 minutes, the French president outlined his vision for Europe as he took over the rotating presidency of the EU.
Her defense of the right to abortion comes a day after the Maltese Roberta Metsola, conservative and anti-abortion activist, was elected president of the European Parliament.
Macron, who faces presidential elections in France this year, said he wants to “consolidate” European values ”that make our unity, our pride and our strength.” His remarks drew applause from MEPs present in the chamber, RFI reported.
“Let us freely open this debate with our fellow citizens and great European consciences to breathe new life into our foundation of rights that forges this strong Europe in its values, the only future of our common political project”, he added.
