We are a space of justice and freedom; we have a duty to act as a model when it comes to democracy. In Greece, the last time the death penalty was carried out was in 1972. Yesterday, we celebrated the seventh anniversary of the end of... 22/04/2026 | 11:38:37 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Allow me to start my speech with two proposals.

And I'd like to start with what Mr Piero FASSINO has just said.  The democracy of North Macedonia has signed a treaty, the Prespa Agreement, with a partner country, that is Greece. It is a member of the Council of Europe and the... 29/01/2026 | 16:58:40 Thank you. Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Dear former Commissioner Ms Helena DALLI, thank you once again for your inspirational speech. And I think we are very lucky here because we have teenagers that look to us because we are here. Not for us, we are here for them.
