20/04/2026 | 16:34:53 Welcome, Mister Minister [in French]. Welcome to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. We are living in times of sorrow and uncertainty, with a war of aggression in Europe and a state of war in the Middle East that directly affects Europe. Thousands of Ukrainians have died in the war. A French soldier died some days ago in Lebanon. The economic consequences of the war have only started, but the middle class is suffering a lot. How do you foresee the possibility of peace in... 20/04/2026 | 12:46:32 Thank you very much, colleagues, for all your comments. The election in Hungary was a very special moment for this institution because, as some of our colleagues have said, NGOs and some political parties, especially the parties that won the elections, didn't want to engage with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Once again, he has demonstrated that moral clarity and political firmness are fully compatible with balance and elegance. Institutions are strengthened when those who are part of them treat one another with seriousness and respect. There is no such thing as old or new politics; there is only good or bad... 27/01/2026 | 19:24:34 Thank you, Madam Chair, Dear colleagues, Even though the next November general elections will be crucial for the future of the entire country, the news is currently focused on the governance of the Republika Srpska. I wish to remind you that the recent conflict escalated after the Republika Srpska adopted legislation asserting ownership and control over public assets, in defiance of the Constitutional Court and the Office of the High Representative. The ensuing confrontation led to legal...
