Hungarian minister: Without the Jewish cultural heritage, Europe would no longer be Europe
The European affairs minister has emphasised the importance of taking action against anti-Semitism and protecting Europe’s Jewish cultural heritage, “without which Europe would no longer be Europe”.
Before a meeting of ministers at the General Affairs Council in Luxembourg on Tuesday, János Bóka noted the EU is scheduled to adopt a declaration on the protection of Jewish life and the fight against anti-Semitism today.
Meanwhile, he said member state representatives are doing groundwork ahead of this week’s European Council summit, with the war in Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East, and the bloc’s competitiveness high on the agenda.
Also, the European Commission will give a briefing on negotiations on a new cooperation initiative between the EU and Switzerland that began in March and the state of relations with the UK. He added that the council will then accept the country-specific recommendations presented by the commission as part of the European Semester.
