Resumption of session and order of business: opening remark by Roberta METSOLA, EP President on the LGBTQI murder in Bratislava

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, First of all, I must also mention the murder a few days ago of two men in Bratislava, our LGBTIQ community must be safe. We must fight hate. The two never men should have been a target. And their murder shows how far we still need to go. And I know that this parliament will keep fighting and leading that fight.
