02/10/2025 | 17:46:46 Thank you, President. Thank you, colleagues. Thank you for all your reflections and also support for this report. Coming from many of our debates here in Strasbourg is the message that the resilience of democracy depends not only on shared principles, but also on the strengths of the institutions that structure political life. Among these, political parties are central and they organise competition, articulate demands and mediate between citizens and the state. Talking, President, about... 02/10/2025 | 17:01:35 No, it's coming. It's coming. So it's okay. Thank you, President. I have realised that I'm going to miss the Council of Europe more than the Parliament. And that I really feel it in my heart. So, thank you for the good words and I wish you all also stay on and keep on with this important work in the Council of Europe. I'll come back to that later in my speech.

Again, I repeat, there is no doubt that Israel has a right to self-defence. But what is happening in Gaza is not self-defence. The attacks on the... 02/10/2025 | 10:11:09 Thank you, President. And thank you, Mr Iulian BULAI, for presenting this important draft resolution. The threats we experience from Russia against our democracies are increasing in number and they are increasingly creative. The threats are not only military, but there are a variety of hybrid threats that interfere with our democratic way of life. One of the recent examples is how strings appear to have been pulled so that Latvia might have a government crisis. It seems as if this information... 25/06/2025 | 20:07:10 Thank you, President. Terrorism is a complex threat that affects many nations. It causes a tragic loss of life and significant destruction. And terrorism impacts not only security, but also the economy and social stability. In Norway, we experienced dramatic terrorist attacks in the most tragic way. First, in 2011, when 77 people lost their lives, most of them young people, and in 2022, when two people died after an attack on a Pride event. In both cases, President, we see that survivors and...
