My priority is to ensure there is a next LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy and make sure it's duly implemented. I will propose to include LGBTI rights in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and maintain a close dialogue with queer civil society. More generally, as a guiding principle, I will promote the defence of public services in all the appropriate legislative files. Figures show that the LGBTI community is disproportionately affected by the housing crisis and underfunded health systems.
