It was opened by <strong>Paolo Inselvini<\/strong> (ECR) and <strong>Margarita de la Pisa <\/strong>(PfE), who emphasized that in today\u2019s EU there is a pressing need to defend the real values of the Union: the protection of life and the safeguarding of the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the speakers was <strong>S\u00e9gol\u00e8ne du Closel<\/strong>, director of the ONE OF US European Federation, who addressed participants on the importance of safeguarding both freedom and life in European policymaking, and rejecting the injunction to choose between life and freedom the promoters of abortion activists try to impose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event featured interventions from eight MEPs representing three political groups, with several other MEPs present in the room. EPP MEP <strong>Matej Tonin<\/strong> recalled that the MVMC demands were rejected by the European Commission, including requests for new EU mechanisms and new funding for abortion, and highlighted attempts by the Commission to manipulate public perception through ESF allocations and PR stunts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was confirmed by the legal expert Nicoals Bauer from the European Center for Law and Justice who stated that the EU Commission has made an abuse of power by allocating the European Social Fund (ESF+) money to abortion services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other MEPs noted with concern that while the Commission\u2019s response was not a clear victory for MVMC, there is a worrying rise of pro-abortion and destructive ideology within EU institutions. <strong>Miriam Lexmann, from Slovakia,<\/strong> stated, \u201cIdeology will never last forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This perspective was reinforced by S\u00e9gol\u00e8ne du Closel, who explained how MVMC and pro-abortion actors employ lies, threats, anti-democratic tools, and intimidation to influence the public\u2014and unfortunately, some Commissioners. Her remarks were supported by <strong>Bert-Jan Ruissen<\/strong> and <strong>Jadwiga Wi\u015bniewska<\/strong>, who warned against the Commission succumbing to pressure and misusing the ESF+ to fund abortion services outside the EU\u2019s competence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gr\u00e9goire Fran\u00e7ois-Dainville, director <\/strong>of J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lejeune Foundation, warned that opening the ESF for abortion endangers people with Down syndrome, as funds intended to support them could instead be used to eliminate them before birth. From Italy, <strong>Maria Rachele Ruiu<\/strong> reaffirmed the commitment to continue defending maternity support and stated, \u201cAll attempts to silence us will not work, as we have the cause on our side.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MEP Paulius Saudargas<\/strong> from EPP concluded that the fight to protect fragile life is fundamental, emphasizing that the Commission has an obligation to respond to MVMC ECI, but always within the framework of EU treaties. He highlighted that Europe is built not only on shared values but also on respecting the diversity of Member States, and that EU institutions should not overstep where they lack competence. The EU does have the competence to support maternity, assist women facing difficult pregnancies, and protect children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference concluded with a clear call for EU institutions and policymakers to ensure that European funding mechanisms remain aligned with human dignity, ethical principles, and respect for the competence of Member States.
