Rochelle García Hermida, a Spanish member of the European Parliament, on Tuesday apologized to Afghans after the European Union hosted a Taliban delegation in Brussels, arguing that the talks risk granting international legitimacy to a government accused of systematically repressing women and girls.
García Hermida, who is also chair of the European Parliament’s delegation for relations with Afghanistan, made the remarks during a parliamentary session hours after EU officials met with a five-member Taliban delegation to discuss migration and deportation issues.
