Serious questions about Turkey’s accession to EU – Fitzgerald

Turkey’s regressive stance on women was highlighted again during a recent trip of the European Commission President to Ankara.

Ursula von der Leyen was relegated to a sofa, while her European Council counterpart, Charles Michel sat on a stately chair next to the Turkish president.

Frances Fitzgerald says the incident raises questions about whether the EU should remain open to Turkey’s membership of the Bloc.
