30/01/2026 | 11:03:11 Thank you, Ms. President. I've looked forward so much to this moment because I think you did very well. I want to congratulate you for the leadership over the past days. I think we should be a bit more generous and allow more time before judging people. That being said, on behalf of the Liberals, we wish you good luck, wisdom, inspiration and creativity for the coming two years. You have our full support for the good things you have proposed to do with this Assembly on behalf of all Europeans... 29/01/2026 | 18:41:16 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear rapporteur, dear colleagues, Dear Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO, there is no place for criticising your President. Here, we are all behind the Ukrainian people, behind your leadership, to do the best for our country, and we should have solidarity here. So there is no place for criticism for the greatest man in Europe, defending us from the brutal Russians wanting to destroy our identities and values. So, please refrain from that. We are all behind... 29/01/2026 | 10:33:13 Thank you, Madam President. Greenland is Denmark. Greenland is Europe. This is the clear choice of the people of Greenland. I salute the fact that we're holding this debate today. It is a sign of solidarity, but also a sign of recognition that we national parliamentarians take the situation seriously. We take security in the North Sea seriously. We take co-operation with allies seriously. And we take the state of the world order very seriously. I salute the declaration prepared by our Danish... 27/01/2026 | 12:55:14 Dear Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe President, Stimată doamnă președintă [Dear Madam President], Dear guests, I would like to begin by quoting Elie WIESEL, the Romanian-born Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate. "The opposite of love is not hatred, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of fate is not heresy, it's indifference. The opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." These words resonate deeply when we reflect... 26/01/2026 | 17:25:49 President, I'm very happy that so many of you have intervened. My impression is that we see more or less the same challenges around the south and in Europe. So I appreciate very much the intervention of Ms Belén HOYO, speaking of both Venezuela, Iran, so much going on in our neighbourhood too; and also about the need of ethics after the event in Davos. So this is the right place that we should approach our continent with sincerity. I have in fact only one answer, and this is a remark rather... 26/01/2026 | 16:42:20 Dear colleagues, We are already accustomed to Russian foreign policy being based on coercion, confrontation and intimidation. But today we see that our powerful ally, the United States, is turning to the same approach, questioning the principles of sovereignty, borders and the rule of law, destabilising the rules of international cooperation, making unilateral decisions. This creates institutional and communicational fog and unpredictable grey zones. This situation emboldens autocrats... 26/01/2026 | 11:38:59 On rare occasions, could I say thank you, Mister President Emanuelis ZINGERIS, I really appreciate that. What else can be said after all these beautiful words? What I like about you, Mr Theodoros ROUSOPOULOS, is that you don't see yourself as an irreplaceable person. That's a high quality of a politician, and you own it. Then, I think you are like a star. I mean, coming, shining, then going. And that's correct in politics, because this is a sad day you are having, but it is also a happy day... 02/10/2025 | 10:57:20 Thank you, President. I really appreciate us speaking until the end of the list, because it's so important. Look how many people are united today, speaking with one voice against the Russian aggression of all its forms in Europe. It's fantastic. Thank you. Lord Richard KEEN. I'm very happy that you spoke on behalf of the conservatives, because when speaking about the Russian interventions, intrusions into the Moldovan, Romanian election, we have to go back to 2016, when Russians were involved... 02/10/2025 | 10:04:58 Thank you so much. Dear President, Good morning, colleagues. I am honored to open this debate today, at what is, no doubt, a critical moment for Europe’s democratic security. Yes, it is not the first time this Assembly has gathered to address the Russian threat. Our Ukrainian friends and colleagues can tell it better. They also know that current threats build upon a long history of repeated and extensive violations of international law by Russia. My own country, Romania, also knows from... 01/10/2025 | 19:31:26 Dear President, dear colleagues, I did not subscribe for speaking for this important topic because I thought that this discussion would strengthen our Assembly and would create a unanimity that would make us walk harmoniously out of this House. I see this is not happening and I see the division in this House, and this harms us. I congratulate the Rapporteur for the idea. I congratulate you for strengthening it. I congratulate Mr Tiny KOX, the president who initiated this whole debate several...
