'We will work relentlessly to find the solution': EU's Sefcovic on rule of law crisis

Description

The past week has seen great highs and great lows for the European Union: highs in the shape of news that the first Covid-19 vaccines could get their initial approval by the end of the year – and lows in the shape of a burgeoning democratic crisis. This after Hungary and Poland vetoed the next €1.8 trillion budget package, in protest at a plan to make the transfer of EU funds to member states conditional on them respecting the rule of law. We get reaction from the EU Commission's Vice-President Maros Sefcovic.

  • Salvini urges Conte to find a solution to political crisis

    Rome (Italy), Jan 14 (EFE), (Camera: Álvaro Padilla).- Italy's far-right Thursday urged the government to find an urgent solution to the country's political crisis.SOUNDBITES OF MATTEO SALVINI, NORTHERN LEAGUE LEADER: "It is not possible that Italians do not know whether or not there is a government. I repeat: we are facing a health emergency, schools are closed, also businesses, new taxes are going to be applied and it is not known whether or not we have a government. Let Conte come to Parliament today and resign at the Quirinal. If there is a majority that governs we will do our part and, if there is not a majority, we will return confidence to the citizens as we have requested since last year. As you remember, last year we said that this was a majority that would fight over everything and would go home soon. It has taken a year and they have done nothing." "Either there is a team that governs for two years or, he repeats, let's give the word to Italians."

  • Drone urges Japanese workers to leave office following new work-life balance law

    A Japanese company is testing a prototype drone in Tokyo that they hope will help combat the country’s burgeoning overtime crisis. The developers say it will encourage employees to clock off early by blasting Auld Lang Syne – a song commonly used in Japan to indicate the closing time. But at a cost of ¥50,000 ($443) per month for service, some might hope for a choice in music or maybe even noise reduction headphones to dull the constant drone in the office.
