22/04/2026 | 11:10:56 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Violence against women is one of the most serious human rights violations of our time, and it is also a reality here in Europe. Gender-based violence is not a private issue. It is a shared problem for our societies, and it affects far too many women and girls every single day. The Istanbul Convention is the strongest international tool we have to prevent and address this violence. The report before us clearly shows that international attention and... 21/04/2026 | 20:23:48 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Madam President, dear colleagues, This report highlights a problem that concerns us all. Hate speech, harassment and direct threats against politicians are increasing. The language is getting harsher, and the behaviour more aggressive. Anonymity, especially on social media, makes this worse in a time when information spreads fast. This is not about freedom of speech or strong opinions. This is about actions that have real consequences for... 01/10/2025 | 13:19:02 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mister President, dear colleagues, The work of journalists is the cornerstone of democracy.

Too many journalists must bear a too heavy burden for their work: arrests, violence, torture and even death. This Assembly cannot accept that the Russian Federation is keeping journalists in captivity. This is... 26/06/2025 | 11:02:35 Thank you, Madam President. Migrant tragedies at sea are humanitarian catastrophes. We must help those in distress, that is clear. At the same time, we must be honest about what works and what does not and what causes more harm than good, both for the migrants and for the receiving countries. In 2023, over 2 000 people died trying to cross the Mediterranean. This is a horrific number, but it highlights the flaws of the current system. The sea has become a highway for human smuggling via... 25/06/2025 | 11:47:15 Mr President, Dear colleagues, Sport should unite people, not divide them. Sport must not be a tool for politics, but neither should it be an area of silence or fear. The freedom of expression of athletes and their right to defend human rights must be protected. Political neutrality cannot and must not mean moral indifference. The essence of sport is community, respect and fair competition. It is our responsibility to ensure that countries hosting international sporting events are committed...
