In December 2024,
the Foreign Affairs Committee of the UK parliament invited contributions to an
enquiry about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this guest post, Andreas
Wittel publishes his response to that enquiry, highlighting the UK’s deep
complicity in the ongoing genocide by Israel of the Palestinian people.
The
year began dramatically for Social Europe. On 14 January, Nicholas Emiliou, one
of the European Union’s Advocates General, advised the Court of Justice of the
European Union (CJEU) to annul the Adequate
Minimum Wages Directive (AMWD). His opinion supported an
action for annulment brought by the Kingdom of Denmark against the European
Parliament and the Council, arguing that the AMWD would undermine the rights of
national social partners and breach the principle of conferral of powers. In
this guest post, Roland Erne discusses these
developments.
