01/10/2026 | 18:43:36 Madam President, Dear colleagues, First of all I would like to thank my friend Mr Georgios STAMATIS for preparing this important report on one of the greatest challenges facing Europe today: the demographic crisis. I would like to briefly highlight two elements that I particularly appreciate. First, the report rightly draws attention to persons with disabilities and the barriers they face in family life and parenthood. Creating conditions that enable them to start families and raise children... 29/09/2026 | 17:37:52 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Thank you very much for all the statements and opinions expressed in this Chamber today during the debate on our two reports. We must be aware that the issue of war veterans may also affect other European countries if Russia, or another imperial power, attacks Europe. Such a scenario cannot be ruled out. However, this issue is already with us today. When the war in Ukraine comes to an end, Europe will face the necessity of developing a... 29/09/2026 | 16:43:46 Thank you, Mister President. Mister President, Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to sincerely thank Ms Lesia ZABURANNA for her report, "Towards coherent policies on veterans in Europe". I am convinced that our two reports complement each other and, in a certain sense, are also a confirmation of our co-operation, the co-operation between Poland and Ukraine in our efforts to resist Russian aggression. And now, allow me to begin my speech with a personal reflection on how this report... 22/06/2026 | 17:24:14 Mister Chair, Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank Mr Pablo HISPÁN for his very important and professional report. Thank you, Pablo. My participation in the parliamentary election observation mission in Hungary from 9 to 12 April leads me to a broader reflection than merely assessing the election date itself. I would like to put forward a thesis that stems not only from this particular emission, but also from my previous observation experience in various countries... 23/04/2026 | 16:30:04 Thank you Mister Chair. Mister Chair, Dear colleagues, It is an honour to speak on behalf of the Group of the European People's Party. First, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Ms Valérie PILLER CARRARD, for this reliable and comprehensive report. It is an important document, not only because it identifies the problem, but because it does so in a thorough and credible way. The report clearly shows that, despite extensive legal frameworks, social dumping and the exploitation of workers... 21/04/2026 | 18:14:38 Dear colleagues, I would like to thank Mr Francesco VERDUCCI for his important and timely report on religious freedom in Europe. It draws attention to issues that require our continued vigilance. Although legal standards exist, the protection of religious freedom remains uneven. In many countries, it is guaranteed in law, but not always respected in practice. This is particularly visible in cases concerning offences against religious feelings, where the balance between freedom of expression... 28/01/2026 | 18:10:08 Thank you very much, Ms. Chair. Ms. Chair, dear colleagues, At the outset, I would like to warmly thank Ms Carmen LEYTE for her thorough, courageous and responsible work as rapporteur. I thank her not only for the report itself, but above all for her clear and unambiguous call to reject the draft additional protocol in its current form. This position reflects genuine concern for human rights understood in a coherent manner and in full compliance with the international obligations of the... 02/10/2025 | 19:02:25 Madam President, Dear colleagues, I am pleased to present the position of the Group of the European People's Party in the joint debate on the reports, analysis and guidelines to guarantee the right to housing and promoting universal health coverage. I thank the Rapporteurs, Ms Aurora FLORIDIA and Mr Stefan SCHENNACH for their work. In particular, I appreciate Mr Stefan SCHENNACH for presenting a report on behalf of a colleague, which is never an easy task. Allow me to highlight the key points... 02/10/2025 | 10:51:23 Mister President, dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the author of the report, Mr Iulian BULAI, for his work on the new threats that Russia possess to European democracies. The fact that our debate is taking place today under the urgent procedure shows how serious this situation is. As a Pole, I must stress that the situation is unprecedented. For the first time in more than 80 years, Poland and NATO member states have been directly attacked, forced to shoot down hostile... 30/09/2025 | 17:30:20 Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, Today we reflect on the future of Kazakhstan, a country advancing along the path of democratic reforms, respect for human rights and the rule of law. These efforts matter not only domestically, but also internationally. We commend the authorities for a policy of zero tolerance towards violence against women and children, ill treatment and corruption. This shows that protecting human dignity is a state priority. Preventive measures against...
