In a letter addressed to EJC President Dr. Moshe Kantor, in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27, European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering stated:

A Spanish socialist who opposed the U.S. war in Iraq and thinks that Europe must adopt a more decisive profile in world affairs has been elected president of the newly expanded European Parliament.
