25/06/2025 | 19:12:49 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen, as I take the floor, I feel like a defense lawyer pleading the cause of his country, which has been severely criticized in an indictment by Mr Prosecutor FRIDEZ. First of all, it's surprising that such a report on such a subject should come from the Social Affairs Committee. Clearly, this is a subject for political or legal affairs, with members of parliament familiar with these matters. Secondly, the work carried out by our colleague Mr FRIDEZ... 25/06/2025 | 17:44:42 Thank you, President. Ladies and Gentlemen, Over the past few days, attention in the Middle East has focused on the Israeli and American strikes aimed at bringing a welcome halt to the mullahs' nuclear arms race. But this episode should in no way divert our attention from the dramatic situation in Gaza and the suffering of its civilian population, now caught between war, hunger and despair. Over 40,000 dead, nearly 2 million displaced. As a French member of this Assembly, I would like to... 24/06/2025 | 17:56:28 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen, on 5 June, in the Chernihiv region, Russian missiles killed five civilians, including a child. On 10 June, Russia deliberately targeted a maternity hospital in Odesa. On the night of 16–17 June in Kyiv, a series of drones and missiles destroyed apartment buildings, killing 28 people, all civilians. Yesterday, once again in the Ukrainian capital, attacks left more civilians dead, including an 11-year-old girl called Mariia. These are just a few... 08/04/2025 | 16:28:45 Mister Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, Foreign interference is no longer a hypothesis. It is a very real weapon, polymorphous, often invisible, always insidious. And today, the Russian Federation is one of its most active agents. As our colleague Ms Zanda KALNIŅA-LUKAŠEVICA rigorously points out in his report, Europe is facing a systematic destabilisation strategy based on the erosion of trust, the manipulation of information and the exploitation of our freedoms. From the annexation of Crimea... 30/01/2025 | 11:10:36 Yes, thank you, Mister Chairman. Just a few words on the position of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, which is against this amendment. Forgive me, but I think it's a detail, well, at least it's an example, a clarification which, in my opinion, doesn't belong in a framework convention, which is intended to have a general scope. That's the first argument. Secondly, as has already been said, the aim of this convention is to be universal in scope. In other words, to ensure that... 30/01/2025 | 10:56:45 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Rapporteur, Ladies and gentlemen, In a democracy where the rule of law is a fundamental pillar, the protection of lawyers – referred to in my country, France, as "auxiliaires de justice" – is an absolute necessity. Lawyers are the defenders of individual rights. They are also the guardians of justice, the guarantors of fairness and the protectors of fundamental freedoms. Lawyers play an essential role in guaranteeing everyone a fair trial, a principle enshrined in...
