24/06/2026 | 13:14:18 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Dear colleagues, The issue before us is not simply about media representation. It is about democracy, equality and human dignity. Media shape public opinion and influence who is seen as credible and capable of leadership. Yet gender stereotypes remain widespread across traditional media, online platforms and social networks. Women and men are still too often portrayed through narrow and outdated roles that reinforce inequality and limit... 24/06/2026 | 12:21:13 Thank you, Madam President. Madam Minister, Colleagues, First, I would like to congratulate Ms Deborah BERGAMINI on her excellent and timely report on the challenges that artificial intelligence (AI) poses to democracy. Artificial intelligence is transforming our societies at an extraordinary pace. As Ms Kristina KALLAS said, it is an accelerator. Its impact will be felt across every area of our lives, from education and healthcare to public administration and political participation.

Dear colleagues, Today we debate the closure of the post-monitoring dialogue with Bulgaria not because this mechanism achieved its goals, but because after 26 years, it has become ineffective. The report notes progress, yes. A difficult one, a fragile one. I took every step in this process. But it also makes clear how much remains unfinished. I will stress two issues that cut to the heart of democratic resilience: the rule of law and media freedom. Bulgaria still... 01/10/2025 | 17:45:28 Thank you, Mr Chair. Colleagues, The Draft Convention before us establishing the International Claims Commission for Ukraine is more than a legal text. It is a statement of principle, a commitment to accountability and a promise of remedy to victims of aggression. Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has brought immense suffering. Lives lost, millions displaced, homes and schools destroyed, hospitals and cultural heritage in ruins, ecosystem damage. They are not statistics. They are the...
