28/09/2026 | 12:07:36 Thank you. Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Parliamentary elections were held in Armenia on 7 June. On polling day, the electorate had a genuine choice and made their views clear. Overall, the elections were well organised, technically sound, peaceful and inclusive. The legal framework provided a solid basis, the electoral administration enjoyed the confidence of the main stakeholders, and, in the vast majority of polling stations, the voting proceeded smoothly. But let us be clear... 24/06/2026 | 11:50:11 Thank you, Madam Chair. Whilst preparing for this debate, I asked an artificial intelligence (AI) system what it suggested I should say about this report, and it suggested a quote from Alexis DE TOCQUEVILLE on democracy, which I’m not sure actually exists.

Another... 23/06/2026 | 10:45:51 Thank you, Madam President, Mr Secretary-General, We have seen during the recent elections observed by this Assembly just how much pressure is being exerted on these democratic elections: cyber-attacks, fake news, interference, etc. There are also a number of instruments that need to be adapted; you mentioned the Convention on Foreign Information Manipulation & Interference (FIMI). I believe that this Assembly must also adapt the way it observes elections. However, in this context, Ukraine... 22/06/2026 | 16:47:53 Thank you, Mister President. I would like to speak on the subject of election monitoring. We have had several such observations in recent weeks and, in every case that has been monitored, we have seen foreign interference – at times on a massive scale – hybrid attacks, pressure – sometimes economic, sometimes even involving military threats – as well as heightened tensions and increased polarisation across the country. I shall have the opportunity to present a detailed report at the next part...
