27/01/2026 | 16:52:27 Thank you, Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Firstly, I would also like to thank the rapporteur for this excellent report and all my fellow members who have contributed to it. After 1945, balanced civic democracy brought prosperity and freedom to the west of Europe. For us in Central Europe and Eastern Europe, the Soviet-Russian occupation brought something else. That is why it is important to emphasise elections as the heart of bourgeois democracy in this assembly as well. They are also... 30/09/2025 | 17:27:58 Thank you, Madam President, Dear colleagues, At times like these, in historic times, it is particularly important that we uphold European values.

As a conservative opposition politician, I am very concerned about the fact that journalists and we, the opposition politicians, are suspected of having been monitored by this spyware.
