On Wednesday 29 April, the European Parliament held a plenary session that included key debates on the EU’s response to the Middle East crisis, high energy prices, and rising fertilizer costs. Delegates discussed the situation in southern Lebanon, cyberbullying action plans, and antisemitism following recent attacks in the Netherlands and Belgium. A separate debate focused on enabling MEPs to delegate votes during absences surrounding childbirth. The session also covered the danger of normalising relations with Russia, humanitarian crises in Sudan, and human rights violations in Haiti, China, and Venezuela. MEPs voted on the Commission’s 2024 budget discharge, amendments to the emissions trading system, and a €2 million fund for Belgian steel workers, among other measures.
