The deputy of the emergency deputy Juan Fernando López Aguilar, leader of S&D to the Committee, said that Simon could “take advantage” of his position as president “to obstruct the accomplishment” of the corporal ethical agreement of the ‘Ue.
“The most disturbing thing is that, in an inevitated way, the EPP organized an opposing majority (at S&D, renewing and Greens) with the three groups of extreme right … to oppose or postpone the implementation of the agreement, “he said.
But speaking to Politico in his office, Simon said that as president, he will be “neutral and objective” during the process, insisting on the clarifications that names the body’s advisory experts.
