EU Parliament member goes on hunger strike

Description

Brussels, Oct 30 (EFE), (Camera: Leopoldo Rodríguez).- French European Parliament member Pierre Larrouturou started a hunger strike on Wednesday to call out the lack of funding for issues such as climate, health and research policies in Europe. SOUNDBITES OF FRENCH EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT MEMBER Pierre Larrouturou:"The European system is somewhat strange. Generally, in each country, both in Spain and in France, the budget is made every year. Tax reforms can be made every year. At the European level, treaties are a bit strange, they are negotiated by a period of 7 years. If money for health is not included it is for 7 years, if money for research is not included it is for a period of 7 years, if there is no money for the fight against climate change it is for 7 years and in 7 years time it will be too late to act.
