22/04/2026 | 17:41:22 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur Ms Gala VELDHOEN for her excellent work and congratulate her for her specific reference to Israel's status in the Council of Europe, because what is happening in Israel today is not only a disgrace, but a grave and discriminatory step that undermines human dignity and the rule of law. It is an apartheid measure that seeks to expand the death penalty against 12 000 Palestinian captives in the occupied... 21/04/2026 | 18:49:38 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur for shedding light on one of the most pressing and sensitive challenges facing Europe and the entire world today. As is stated in the report, freedom of religion or belief is not a secondary right. It is a cornerstone of democratic life and of co-existence in Europe.

Far too many graduates complete their education full of hope, only to encounter frustration and uncertainty. This is not because they lack talent, but because our education systems often fail to respond to the real needs of the economy. The growing skills gap across our industries is no longer only an economic issue, it has become a... 28/01/2026 | 20:15:10 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Honourable President, Dear Colleagues, The announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza should have marked the beginning of protection and recovery for the people of Gaza and the West Bank. Yet, the reality on the ground reveals a far more heart-breaking picture. Despite the ceasefire, Palestinian civilians, particularly women and children, continue to lose their lives through military operations, raids, and settler violence. These deaths are not...
