29/01/2026 | 17:53:39 Thank you, Chair. The very notion that someone needs to be cured, or fixed, because of who they are is vile. It should make all of us angry. I come from Malta. Small island Malta. Very Catholic Malta. And yet, ten years ago – ten years ago – we became the first country in Europe to prohibit conversion practices. Not because it was the easy thing to do. But because it was the right thing to do. And, yes, we are very proud to be the gold standard, thank you very much. We did it because we... 28/01/2026 | 10:54:17 Thank you, Chair. Some of us here may be familiar with a current social media trend, where people look back and share photos of what they were doing in 2016.

Because no matter what is going on across our continent, no matter the issues which are rightfully at the very top of our agenda, we must also keep an eye on our young people, on their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations and their fears. I really enjoyed the... 27/06/2025 | 10:39:43 Mr President, I wanted to take this opportunity to close off what has been an incredible and very significant week here in Strasbourg, especially for the Maltese delegation. We are so proud of how it has all unfolded. We are a small team from a small country with big ambitions, and it was always our intention to make the Maltese presidency an impactful one. But I also wanted to look ahead. And once we return home, we will immediately set forth with a ministerial conference on the protection... 26/06/2025 | 17:08:39 Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, rapporteur for the report. We are making reference also to gender equality in national parliament. And the challenge here, I guess, is twofold. It's getting more women to parliament and safeguarding the women in parliament. I come from a country which has recently enacted constitutional amendments which allocate additional seats to the under-represented sex as a temporary measure to get more women in parliament and give them the visibility and exposure...
