01/10/2026 | 12:57:22 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The evidence is truly overwhelming. 2025 was one of the warmest years on record, while the summer of 2026 has brought prolonged heatwaves across Europe. Biodiversity is under growing threat. The climate crisis is not merely a European problem but a global one. And yet, despite COP30 in Brazil, major gaps remain. The United States have withdrawn from the Paris Climate Agreement. China and India continue to prioritise economic growth, at the... 30/09/2026 | 18:08:25 Thank you, Chair. Colleagues, let us reflect on where we stand today. The President of the world’s most powerful country speaks from the podium of the world’s foremost international organisation, refers to the International Criminal Court (ICC) as “an evil group of people”, and calls on its member states to withdraw. Powerful governments impose sanctions on judges and prosecutors for carrying out their duties. The Court's judgments and warrants are systematically ignored. The ICC, established... 30/09/2026 | 13:12:03 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   The protection of press freedom, media pluralism, is indeed a fundamental issue for democracy in Europe. But let us reflect for a moment.

When journalists are targeted with spyware such as Predator, and it has still not been clarified who used it and for... 25/06/2026 | 10:56:21 Thank you, Madam Chair. I feel that every time that we engage in this discussion here, we have to get back to basics. Migration is not a problem. It is a phenomenon inherent to human nature. And it is by the way that we choose to manage, to address this phenomenon that we will be judged in the end as European citizens. And the worst possible response is dishonesty, ideological dogmatism, prejudice, xenophobia and racism. We will not defend the voices of hatred by validating their narrative... 23/06/2026 | 18:54:30 Thank you, Chair. The systematic violation of fundamental human rights in Iran is an undeniable reality. Restrictions on democratic participation, the suppression of women's rights, the persecution of political opponents, torture and summary executions all form the face of a violent authoritarian regime which also acts as a serious source of instability across the region. These are well-established facts. The question, however, is what should the rest of the world do to support the citizens...
