Speaker 2
Dear colleagues, the colleagues in the digital room, we are still waiting for MEPs. And, yeah, don't. This is a short point of information, and we will see who will present from the MEP side. Thank you. Dear colleagues, as you can see, my colleague Jakna from EPP and I are the only MEPs here in the room, which shows how responsible the other MEPs feel on this very important topic.

Speaker 1
Zero. It's super embarrassing, and I'm really sorry for the team and for the secretariats. They prepared everything. We have people here. They made it possible to show up, and I can't apologize for my MVP colleagues or not.
I'm super angry, and we will debate internally how to deal with it. It's absolutely impossible to see what we see here in the room. And no one, I think, apart from Jana and me, should raise their voice; disability rights are so important. I don't want to hear that anymore. If no one feels like they are here in the room or feels responsible, there may be reasons for that, okay.
Yeah. But if no one is here, it is crystal clear that we don't give a shit about disability rights. You can quote me on that. I close the meeting at 03:49, and I wish you a wonderful, sunny day.
