O newspaper Politico once again handed out its “UnAwards”, the awards highlighting what was “good, bad and ugly” in the work carried out by members of the European Parliament (EP), which is days away from the end of the legislature. This is the second time that Luxembourg MEP Mónica Semedo has stood out for the worst reasons. This time, she was named the “worst boss” of this term.
The former DP deputy and current Fokus party candidate for the European elections is part of the group of 17 members of the European Parliament who violated internal regulations in this legislature. Semedo, 39, was subject to investigations and convicted twice for harassing her parliamentary team.
Sanctions for moral harassment
The two accusations of alleged moral harassment by his advisors, at different times, earned him two sanctions, in the form of temporary suspension in the EP.
In both cases, in 2021 and 2023, Mónica Semedo denied the accusations. However, faced with the first accusation, in 2021, the relationship with the DP, for which she had run for the EP, cooled down and the deputy decided to leave the party.

Jakarta –
The scorching weather in Europe has hit the continent with extreme heat that has never been experienced before. According to the European Union’s Earth watchdog, Copernicus, and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), heat-trapping pollutants clogging the atmosphere helped push temperatures in Europe last year to the highest or second highest levels ever recorded.
Greenhouse gas emissions were the biggest cause of last year’s extraordinary heat. Plus, factors including the El Nino weather pattern also play a role.
According to the two organizations’ joint State of the Climate report, heat-related death rates have risen 30 percent in Europe in two decades.

The UK can deport illegal migrants to Rwanda by air. Parliament has passed the controversial law allowing this. Rwanda has now been declared a safe country with this legislation to prevent legal objections to deportations.
The law has been the subject of long debate in Britain. The government has been trying to get the plan through for years, but has always encountered resistance. The law was announced two years ago. This was followed by a legal battle and then a parliamentary trial. The Rwanda plan was previously blocked by the highest court in the United Kingdom, on the objection that Rwanda would not be safe for migrants and asylum seekers.
In November, the UK’s highest courts ruled that placing asylum seekers and migrants elsewhere is possible, but that the designated place must be safe. Rwanda was labeled “not safe” by the judges: there was a risk that the migrants would ultimately be unlawfully returned to their country of origin. In addition, there were concerns about the asylum process in the African country.
