At its January 2026 plenary session, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) adopted a resolution outlining the EU’s priorities for the 70th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW70). With a strong focus on access to justice, women’s participation in public life and the elimination of gender‑based violence, the EESC sets out a roadmap to strengthen women’s rights and reinforce democracy across Europe and beyond.
A group of American ICE agents is supposed to travel to Italy with the US delegation for the Winter Olympics.
From the Workers’ Group, we join the call of Italian civil society and democratic political forces sending a clear message: ICE has no place in Europe. The agency is clearly out of control and behaves like a paramilitary group without any democratic control or respect for Human Rights, having already killed two US citizens and created a state of fear, kidnapping people in the streets, entering their homes and workplaces with impunity.
