30/09/2025 | 19:11:06 Thank you very much. The constitution of the UK, I believe, Sir Edward LEIGH, cannot be changed by a two-thirds majority in parliament, while it can be, and it has been in Hungary, so you are wrong there. And also migration, which is a real issue, does not justify the undermining of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, either in Europe or in the country across the Atlantic, in the United States. But I want to diverge from Hungary because I think this is a wider issue. I want to talk... 30/09/2025 | 18:09:21 Thank you, Mr Eerik-Niiles KROSS and dear colleagues. No one disputes that Fidesz has repeatedly won elections. But democracy is far more than winning at the ballot box. The true measure lies in how power is exercised responsibly.

In Skopje, their slogan echoes "Who is next?" after a fire in Kočani stole the lives of 59 young people, victims of corruption and neglect. In Bratislava, Slovak and European Union (EU) flags fly side-by-side as crowds declare "Slovakia is Europe", "Our future... 25/06/2024 | 11:54:55 My Report is a call for the spirit of educated engagement where we can bring all into our political life. As someone mentioned – Mr Ioannis OIKONOMOU – in ancient Athens, politics was not simply a fight for power, it was a capacity to imagine a much better future collectively and actually make it happen. And on the contrary, Lord David BLENCATHRA, democracy was a way to make sure that we do not have concentration of power. And as Lord George FOULKES said earlier, this is one of the big...
