Two GUE/NGL MEPs have expressed their solidarity with Syrian refugees in a debate on the issue today in plenary.
GUE/NGL MEP Marisa Matias said: "We have talked a lot about Syria already in this house and we must continue to do so as the situation is only getting worse. It is not something that just affects the Middle East or Syria, it affects all of us. We must have a stronger position on Syria. There is a fund for helping refugees so let's use it. We must ensure refugees' protection and let them into Europe.
