Rising Far Right Creating Worse Gender Imbalance - Romanian Nominee

On Monday, Roxana Mînzatu was presented by the Romanian government as the next European Commissioner for the country, withdrawing the previous nomination of Victor Negrescu, to comply with Ursula von der Leyen's gender criteria.

Minzatu, who is 44, is a former Secretary of State for European funds, and later for public procurement.

She spoke to Euronews journalist Shona Murray hours after her nomination about her recent job interview with von der Leyen, the importance of implementing EU law in Europe, and her concerns over the EU’s backsliding on gender balance.

A quick look at the gruesome report from Human Rights Watch on forced returns of Syrian refugees by the Cypriot and Lebanese authorities. The NGO claims that the financial help from the EU to Lebanon on border management has never been conditional on the respect of human rights.
