In two key issues, Eliza Wozenberg MEP reported in an interview with from Strasbourg. In particular, she commented and clearly explained where we are in terms of women’s rights and the protection of the border of the European Union.

Starting with the timeless issue of women’s rights, Mrs Wozenberg pointed out the lag that is still observed in practice today, despite the institutional guarantee of equality. In particular, she referred to the wage gap between men and women, attributing it to deep-rooted stereotypes that are maintained in Member States societies. He emphasized the importance of educational programs from adolescence and the need to cultivate equality culture through education and promoting positive standards.

At the same time, Mrs Wozenberg stressed that improving the position of the woman also presupposes the involvement of women themselves in decision -making centers. He did not fail to say that women must set the example, reinforcing their dual role as professionals and mothers. He has also spoken about the institutional motives given to Greece in recent years to enhance female presence at work, with special care for single parent families, rural areas and start -ups.

The second part of the interview focused on protecting Europe’s external borders. Eliza Wozenberg, with a capacity that allows her to have a direct picture of European developments, commented on the new asylum and immigration package, which aims at a common European migrant management. Emphasized the importance of European solidarity, as well as the obligation of Member States to effectively protect the EU’s external borders.

Referring to the situation in Evros and the role of Frontex, he stressed that Greece was able to respond to the challenges and successfully manage migratory flows within the framework of respect for human rights. Special mention made the government’s political choice to invest in strengthening the fence in Evros, with the help of European funding.

The MEP did not fail to mention Turkey’s stance, pointing out the inconsistency in its commitments, which makes the European strategy difficult for returning immigrants. Although Turkey receives refugee management funds, the EU It must, according to her, be strict on the conditions it sets for its pre -accession course.

The interview ended with optimism, as Mrs Wozenberg said significant steps have been taken in both equality and border protection. However, he reiterated that this progress must continue with stability, coordination and determination. A more fair, safe and inclusive Europe is only possible with the cooperation of all members of the European family.
