Striving for solidarity between all generations in Europe

Ahead of the European elections in June 2024, BAGSO, the German National Association of Senior Citizens' Organisations has issued a statement addressed to the candidates. It calls for the participation of older people in society and the coexistence of generations in Europe to be strengthened. According to the statement, the European Parliament can make an important contribution to a solidary and democratic society in which everyone can grow old well. In particular, BAGSO calls for measures to combat age discrimination. It also demands the creation of age-friendly environments in the EU and the fight against social inequality and poverty.
