Rising Anti-Semitism in Europe: Urgent Measures Needed, European Charlemagne Youth Prize, and Agenda Changes
Speaking of the sharp rise of anti-Semitism in Europe, President Metsola spoke of Stars of David being spray-painted onto Jewish homes, Molotov cocktails thrown at a Jewish synagogue and a community centre, Jewish cemeteries being desecrated and vandalised, and parents asking their children to hide their religious beliefs for fear of retribution.
On the eve of the 85th anniversary of Pogromnacht (the November pogroms), anti-Semitism is a warning sign that matters to us all, said the President, underlining that Jewish communities in Europe must feel safe. The European Parliament remains committed to combatting anti-Semitism; urgent and immediate measures are needed to fight hate and discrimination, she concluded.

European Charlemagne Youth Prize
For the past fifteen years, Parliament and the International Charlemagne Prize Foundation have jointly awarded the European Charlemagne Youth Prize to youth-led projects supporting democracy and promoting cooperation in Europe, said the President. This year, the first place prize went to AILEM from Belgium, a language app tailored for refugees and asylum seekers, she said, congratulating the winners.
