Rising living costs are putting enormous pressure on families in the EU. Low-income households feel the impact the most with 1 in 5 already in poverty. The EU and EU countries have a responsibility to reduce inequality and ensure access to basic needs for a fairer future.

I look forward to supporting the vital mission of FRA, an institution at the heart of our democratic values and human rights.
FRA’s Management Board held a retreat to review the key achievements and strategic direction of the Agency. Remaining focused, agile, and responsive is central to FRA's commitment to uphold #FundamentalRights in this ever-evolving policy landscape.

Preocupa-me a divisão moral, quase a jeito de sinalização da virtude, implícita no rótulo "humanista" atribuido à posição maioritária do TC. Como se não houvesse humanismo nos juízes que votaram em sentido contrário. Distintas leituras da Constituição, igualmente legítimas.

Salientar o potencial conciliador da serena moderação, num delicado equilíbrio entre, por um lado, a rejeição de superioridades morais apriorísticas e a concomitante recusa da substituição da educação pela doutrinação ideológica e, por outro lado, o respeito pela igual dignidade
