29/01/2026 | 19:01:46 Thank you, Ms Saskia KLUIT. The debate is now closed. The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development has tabled a draft resolution and a draft recommendation on the '65th anniversary of the European Social Charter: social rights as the foundation of resilient democracies and social justice'. There are no amendments so we can proceed directly to the votes.  We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution. A simple majority is required. The vote is open. The vote is... 29/01/2026 | 18:31:02 Good afternoon, my friends.  We move on to the item on the agenda. The next item of business this afternoon is a debate under urgent procedure on "The 65th anniversary of the European Social Charter: social rights as the foundation of resilient democracies and social justice" presented by Mr Paul GALLES on behalf of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development.

And this is what we are doing.  Dear colleagues, in the latest report on global democracy published by The Economist, only 6.6% of the global population live in democracy... 10/04/2025 | 17:58:50 Dear President, thank you. I am going to speak in Spanish. First and foremost, allow me to extend thanks to the online presence of the President of the Mexican Senate, Gerardo FERNÁNDEZ NOROÑA. I also wish to underscore the very key role played by Mexico here for more than 25 years through relations between the Council of Europe and this Assembly.  Europe and Latin America share five centuries of history. It's a history of languages, cultures, traditions and common ideas. Furthermore, it is a...
