In the current scenario of the world economic crisis that has been aggravating the social problem, the risk of gender discrimination is a real threat to the consolidation of a developed, fair and equitable Europe. Sexual discrimination is a structural problem that exists in the developed world and in Europe and has serious consequences in terms of equal opportunities and economic and social stability. I understand that the irreplaceable and essential role of women in a family and social context is not duly recognised, valued or protected. The weaker position of women is even more evident in the unacceptable wage discrimination and in terms of access and progress in the workplace, in the private or public sector and even in politics. The European Union should be determined to defend equal opportunities based on valuing professional skills and merit, regardless of gender or colour. However, I regret that this noble cause is exploited to promote various issues that give rise to fundamental differences in their ethical and moral contextualisation, as in the case of abortion and the incentives from the State and regional authorities on this matter. I have, therefore, abstained."@en1
