Together with MEP Cecilia Wikström, Swedish member of the ALDE group, Fischer also voiced for a more direct inclusion of women when discussing the future of Jewish communities and organizations in Europe. In addition, the EUJS President also dedicated a substantial part of his speech on the importance of constructing Jewish identities around positive topics.
