22/04/2026 | 13:22:32 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The Istanbul Convention is the first legal instrument—made possible thanks to the drive of the feminist movement—that obliges those who ratify it to implement policies to prevent and eradicate all forms of violence against women. It is worth highlighting the countries that have still not ratified it. It requires, indeed demands, genuine political will and guaranteed funding. The Spanish state ratified it in 2014. In the Basque Country, we had... 21/04/2026 | 20:19:52 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I must begin with the necessary and explicit condemnation of any form of violence, especially violence directed at politicians, who serve the community. An attack on a politician is an attack on the community, on society, and on democracy itself. And I know what I am talking about. I am Basque, and for far too many years we suffered as the terrorist group ETA murdered, kidnapped and extorted those who thought differently. More than a... 29/01/2026 | 17:36:40 The fact that, in the year 2026, the 21st century, the fact that today we are speaking about banning conversion practices, which, by the way, are reminiscent of acts of torture, of the inquisition, seems surreal.

Conversion practices are harmful, they are delegitimised by medical, psychiatric and psychological organisations. Their intention is to change people's sexual... 28/01/2026 | 18:13:02 Thank you Chair, and good afternoon. The Additional Protocol to the Oviedo Convention relates to the rights and dignity of people with mental disorders when it comes to involuntary placement and, over the many years that it has been doing the rounds, it has generated a great deal of opposition. Opposition from various organisations, among representatives of people with disabilities, and in this Assembly, including in some member states that have made their positions very clear. Now, it is... 02/10/2025 | 12:21:18 Let me begin by thanking the rapporteur. While I am not going to repeat the reproaches against those who committed these terrible attacks, I think about the damage caused, about how they have targeted schools and hospitals. We have seen all of these things every day, in spite of Israel's commitments that they wouldn't do so. But they haven't allowed foreign or any other journalists to enter there, accusing the other journalists of being terrorists. They hinder them from doing their work and...
