Minority Safepack Initiative Garners Two-Thirds Majority Support in EP On Thursday, the European Parliament supported by a large majority a resolution on the Minority SafePack based on the European Citizens’ Initiative that aims to protect the rights of indigenous minorities at the EU level. Yesterday, the European Parliament, with broad support, called on the Commission to propose legal acts to protect minority languages and multilingualism. In a resolution adopted with 524 votes in favor, 67 against, and 103 abstentions, the EP pointed out that national and linguistic minorities in the EU are facing assimilation and are losing their languages, resulting in linguistic and cultural impoverishment.
