22/04/2026 | 11:42:47 Thank you very much, Mister Vice-President. Ladies and gentlemen, Violence against women is a sad reality. In Austria, one in three women are affected, probably also here in this room. That is 1.1 million women and they have been affected by violence once or several times, physical, sexualised or psychological violence. Violence against women concerns us all. It concerns the countries, it concerns the municipalities, it concerns the cities and, of course, it concerns us here in the Council of... 21/04/2026 | 17:53:40 Thank you very much. Dear colleagues, No one should be discriminated against because of their membership of a religious community or because they do not belong to a religious community. This is an important principle and one that we should of course all support. That is why this report is so important and necessary. Many thanks to the rapporteur for two years of work.

Since 2025, during President TRUMP's second term in office, the USA has repeatedly attempted to annex Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, which is itself a member of the EU. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is actually unbelievable in the 21st century. It's like in distant colonial times. The powerful take what they want. And thank God the Greenlandic and Danish prime ministers immediately and consistently rejected any kind of intervention. The... 27/01/2026 | 17:37:12 Very good, Mr Vice President. Dear colleagues, No electricity, no water, no heating. Not for a few minutes like we had a few hours ago, but for days. That's what people in Ukraine are currently suffering. And right now in this cold winter, minus 20 degrees, Russia has mercilessly attacked the country's critical infrastructure and energy grids. People are suffering. This war of aggression, which violates international law, has resulted in heavy human and material losses and serious human...
