Observing Memories Issue 5 - December 2021 | Page 56

8. What is your assessment of the European Commission’ s memory policies and what are the main challenges it faces?
It is difficult, if not impossible, to answer this question. I think the main challenges facing the European Commission are the maintenance of democracy in Europe, such as the independence of judicial systems, the fight against racism, anti- Semitism and homophobia and for the respect of human rights. And that memory policies are not separate from these issues.
