EAPN and ATD are campaigning for the renewal of the European Parliament Intergroup on Fighting Against Poverty.
What is a European Parliament Intergroup?
A European Parliament Intergroup is formed by Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to work informally on specific issues. It is established by at least three political groups at the beginning of each legislative term.
Intergroups are crucial because they facilitate cross-cutting discussions and bring together MEPs with diverse expertise and interests. They also serve as a key platform for direct exchange with civil society organisations.
The Intergroup on Fighting Poverty is essential for enabling people experiencing poverty to connect with MEPs and contribute to their work.
Why do we need a European Parliament Intergroup on Fighting Against Poverty?
We need to eradicate, not just alleviate, poverty.
Eradicating poverty requires action beyond the scope of the EMPL Committee.
People experiencing poverty must be included in EU decision-making processes.
