John Brady: I thank the Commissioner for joining us this morning. First, I wish to make a comment, and it is not a throw-away one from my perspective, which is that nobody is safe until everyone has access to safe and effective treatments and vaccines.

The objective of the Spanish Government is to criminalise those who have peacefully...

Carers do not need any more sympathy, kind words, empty rhetoric or plamásing from the Government. They need recognition, support and active help. Carers rightfully feel they have been...
