02/10/2026 | 10:37:37 Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to a potential threat to democracy in Germany: specifically, the work of party-affiliated foundations. Germany provides funding to party-affiliated foundations for their socio-political and educational work. In 2024, this amounted to a total of 688 million euros. This enormous sum went exclusively to foundations affiliated with the established political parties. The foundation of the largest opposition party, Alternative für Deutschland... 01/10/2026 | 19:00:33 Dear colleagues, One of the main causes of the falling birth rate in Europe was not addressed in the text: the extremely high abortion rate. In England and Wales, almost one in three children is aborted; in Spain, France and Sweden, one in four. In England, the extremely high figures for the killing of unborn children are also a result of the introduction of telemedicine-assisted abortion during the period of repressive Covid-19 restrictions. Yet that period is now long behind us... 29/01/2026 | 17:50:06 Mr President, I am still submitting the declaration of interest for this year. Dear colleagues, Of course, none of us are in favour of therapy with violent treatment to change gender orientation. We all agree on that. But the first sentence of the resolution equates these therapies with the following: any means or effort intended to change a gender identity – that is, any spoken word – is included that is not an affirmation. So if a child or adolescent has been given the idea that they are in... 02/10/2025 | 19:09:28 Madam President, Ladies and gentlemen, I will be voting against this report on universal health coverage because, among other things, it calls for accessible reproductive health services in paragraph 12, 1.5. But what does reproductive health mean? The World Health Organisation apparently understands reproductive health to include access to safe and legal abortion. We should be clear about this, because the issue of abortion, i.e. the killing of unborn babies, is viewed differently in... 26/06/2025 | 16:41:50 Dear Mr President, dear Members of Parliament, I would like to comment as follows on the report "Promoting inclusive participation in parliamentary life". Making parliament buildings wheelchair accessible should be a matter, of course. Avoiding late parliamentary sessions due to family issues, as called for here, is likely to be difficult in national parliaments for organizational reasons. We reject the call to set gender equality targets for political representation. This goes too far for... 26/06/2025 | 15:30:21 Dear Mister President, dear members of the Parliamentary Assembly, I would like to comment on a few points in the document "Women's Rights in Europe" as follows. Contrary to what is stated here, I do not see a lack of access to modern contraceptives. On point 12, I would like to make it clear that there is no right to abortion, at least in Germany, but that there is a constitutional right to life for unborn children in every month of pregnancy. This report only talks one-sidedly about women's...
