20/04/2026 | 12:09:34 Thank you very much, Madam President, for the floor. Congratulations to Mr Pablo HISPÁN for the report. I would like to talk about the Hungarian elections as well.

Secondly, yes, we do remember the 6 million Jews who perished in the gas chambers. Also, we remember that this was the darkest page of our common European civilisation. Our common civilisation, not just the German. Also we do... 26/01/2026 | 17:04:37 Madam President, dear colleagues, I would like to congratulate every newly-elected official in our Assembly, Ms Elvira KOVÁCS, all the other committee chairs and other officials. I would like to reflect on the election of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe's President. The European Conservatives, Patriots & Affiliates did not support the Socialist candidate, as you could follow. But it was nothing personal, I would like to underline. On the contrary, we would have liked to...
