I want to thank my colleague Ms Ingjerd Schie SCHOU for... 10/04/2025 | 17:09:22 Thank you very much, Mister Chairman. And thank you to all the speakers, to whom I've listened attentively. Thank you also for all the important elements that complete the picture of our debate. Of course, this debate has a deep political and emotional dimension. Allow me to repeat a number of things I said at the outset, which I hope to be able to repeat on behalf of our Parliamentary Assembly. First: we strongly condemn the attacks of October 2023.
