22/04/2026 | 17:16:43 Thank you, Madam Chair. Ladies and gentlemen, Like me, you have seen the images of Israeli ministers popping champagne to celebrate the passing of a law providing for the death penalty only for Palestinians classified as terrorists. A racist death penalty, by hanging, reserved for Arabs. The death penalty, whether racist or not, is incompatible with the principles of the Council of Europe, as are the extrajudicial executions carried out on a large scale by Israel. Yet the Israeli Parliament... 22/04/2026 | 11:24:44 Thank you, Mister President. Since 2014, the Istanbul Convention has been the first legally binding instrument at European level to prevent and punish violence against women. 38 member states of the Council of Europe have signed up to the Convention. Several have withdrawn, including Türkiye. Several have never ratified it: Bulgaria, Hungary and Lithuania, to name but a few. Others have ratified it, but are still very poor performers. I am referring, of course, to France, my country, where... 21/04/2026 | 11:27:27 Thank you, Mr President. I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the member for Sweden who said earlier that violence comes exclusively from the left.

On 21 April, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia will call for the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Are you too going to finally call for the suspension of this agreement, or are you going to continue to disgrace our country, France? Do you regret quoting Ms Golda MEIR in the Senate? Do you support the request to exclude the Knesset from its observer status in... 25/06/2025 | 20:31:41 Thank you, Mr Chairman. The report before us reminds us that there can be no ecological transition without social justice. We cannot impose environmental measures that penalise the most vulnerable. Ecology cannot be a luxury reserved for the few. It must be accessible to all. Ecology must be popular. We must ensure that energy transition policies do not further exclude the most disadvantaged, but rather protect and support them. The rapporteur, Saskia KLUIT, cites with approval the...
