As a support measure for COVID-19 pandemic, European Parliament decided to open up its building in Brussels to the homeless and provide health workers with meals from its kitchen.

 

In a video message on April 8, European Parliament President David Sassoli announced that in agreement with the Brussels Region, the building will be made available for the most vulnerable in the society. Moreover, the kitchens of the Parliament will be making more than 1,000 meals a day to be distributed to those in need and the health workers to help them do their jobs.

 

 “We are close to those who suffer and those who commit themselves non-stop in hospitals to the towns and citizens of Brussels such as those of Strasbourg and Luxembourg. The cities that host us that welcome us and that need help today are the strength of Europe in our ability to be in solidarity,” said the President.
