Nationalist party MEP Therese Comodini Cachia participated in welcoming the Olympic flame and the torch runners at Place du Luxembourg for its first stop at the European Parliament.

The 450km torch run will take the flame through all of Belgium. The arrival of the torch kicks off the 2014 Special Olympics European Summer Games. Over 2,000 athletes with an intellectual disability from 58 European and Eurasian countries are taking part.

Comodini Cachia, together with the other Maltese MEPs, is supporting the participation of the Maltese delegation in this event.
