Strasbourg (France), Sep 13 (EFE) .- The European Parliament (EP) is studying requiring MEPs and staff of groups and the institution to present the COVID digital certificate to enter their buildings, that is, who If you want to access the headquarters of the European Parliament, you must prove that you are vaccinated, present a negative PCR or demonstrate that you have recently recovered from the infection.
This was explained by the President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, at the beginning of the plenary session of the institution that will be held from today until Thursday in Strasbourg, at which time two MEPs from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) criticized that was considering the possibility of requiring this certificate to access the parliamentary buildings.
Sassoli explained that it is an open and ongoing discussion and that it would be addressed for the first time in the afternoon this Monday at the European Parliament Table, the internal body that brings together the president himself with his vice-presidents and quaestors (they carry administrative issues that affect directly to MEPs) and is responsible for making all administrative and organizational decisions for the European institution.
One of the MEPs who protested this possibility, the German Joachim Kuhs, ugly Sassoli who wants to “limit the access of staff to their workplace” and defended that both the vaccine and the PCR tests are medical tests and “everyone should decide if you want to undergo them “, while asking that there are no disadvantages for those who choose not to be immunized.
The other AfD deputy who spoke out against the proposal, Sylvia Limmer, warned for her part about the consequences of the possible decision on the “free exercise of the mandate” of MEPs and complained about which, she considered, will not be a “transparent” decision.
Sassoli, for his part, replied to MEPs that “all members and groups will be able to contribute to this debate.”
Parliamentary sources told Efe that the proposal is part of the progressive return to the presence of the institution and in order to ensure the safety of the people who are now returning to offices and spaces that they have to share with other colleagues.
