24/04/2026 | 10:42:52 Thank you, President. I am going to speak in Italian about a strategic objective for the whole continent, and also beyond, which manages to encapsulate four other major objectives that we must achieve. The first is the fight against global warming, I prefer the term global warming to climate change, because the climate is constantly changing, the problem is global warming. Second: future economic development and jobs. Third: the strategic resourcefulness of many of our countries. Fourth... 21/04/2026 | 17:49:58 Thank you, Mister President. I thank Mr Francesco VERDUCCI for the thorough and balanced work carried out on the basis of a motion I submitted, which took its cue from a global campaign called bpur.org to implement an international treaty to end the political abuse of religion, cited in the report, which I hope may reach the United Nations.

In its latest version, before the election, the law required a payment of €3,000 to stand as a candidate, while the average monthly salary is only €450. It was a law that effectively made... 03/10/2025 | 11:53:38 Thank you, Mister President. I will talk about the election in Moldova last weekend. They are of crucial importance within the broader context of the country's path towards the European Union accession, which was already the subject of our referendum last year. Reflecting the high stakes, there were attempts founded with millions of euros, to influence the vote in favour of pro-Russian candidates through practises such as direct vote buying, propaganda and anti-European disinformation.
