German MEP adds to pressure to move Euro 2020 finals
By EUobserver
A senior MEP has piled pressure on football body UEFA to move the Euro 2020 final from the UK. "The spread of the 'Delta variant' [of Covid-19] makes it impossible for 40,000 spectators to view the final match in London's stadium", Peter Liese, a centre-right MEP from Germany's ruling CDU party, who is a doctor and health rapporteur, said on Tuesday, echoing Italian prime minister Mario Draghi's comments on Monday.
