EU summit pushes social issues, but divisions linger
Issued on:
07/05/2021 - 10:18 Known as the social summit , the EU meeting on Friday with conferences bringing together representatives of civil society and trade unionists MIGUEL RIOPA AFP/File 4 min
Porto (Portugal) (AFP)
EU leaders on Friday will try to find unity on ways to fight poverty and promote equality in Europe after the pandemic, but the 27 member states remain deeply divided.
Twenty-four of the EU s 27 leaders will make the trip to the riverside city of Porto for a summit that will make social issues a priority.
Excusing themselves because of the pandemic, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will attend only by videoconference, as will Malta s premier.
Ursula von der Leyen was sitting pretty today as she got her own chair for a ceremonial signing at an EU summit in Portugal - just a month after a lack of chairs in Turkey led to allegations of sexism and sabotage.
The commission president was seen bumping elbows with Charles Michel, the man who took the only seat in Istanbul, just moments before the signing took place.
Von der Leyen, who was left perched on a sofa at the Turkey summit in a row dubbed Sofagate , appeared in good spirits in Porto as the new meeting got underway.
EU leaders are holding their first in-person meeting since the pandemic broke out to discuss issues facing the bloc, with gender on the agenda - just as it was in Turkey.
