For its part, the @europarl.europa.eu is still in the process of appointing a successor to one of its experts who passed away; earlier this month, the EP's AFCO Committee recommended Luca Pietro Vanoni, professor at the University of Milan specialising in U.S. constitutional law and religion.

8 players missing is no excuse. We knew 3 players would be away in Afco tournament. We know Mount & Maguire have become serial injury carriers.

BTW, there's absolutely nothing on institutional #EUreform in #vonderLeyen 's mission letters. Neither the Democracy VP (Virkkunen) nor any of the commissioners for enlargement (Kos), democracy (McGrath), or interinstitutional relations (Šefčovič) are expected to deal with it.
#AFCO won't be happy.

EPP teams up with far right to vote down fundamental rights report
Today in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO), EPP MEPs partnered with the far right to deliberately vote down a report on the implementation of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights within the EU legal framework.

For some reasons, @eppgroup.bsky.social has decided to emulate Orban’s autocratic playbook and target civil society actors. This comes at a time where EPP AFCO Chair previously did his best to normalise fake judges and anti-rule of law pseudo “experts”
Last week, we called on the progressive groups in the European Parliament to boycott the working group set up by the @eppgroup.bsky.social that will scrutinise, stigmatise and ultimately harm civil society actors.
Last night, they did.
