24/04/2026 | 10:04:25 Mr Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you very much for giving me the floor. I would like to remind you that, this week, when we are discussing democracy and human rights in Strasbourg, a mayor has once again been arrested in one of the Council of Europe member states. I am talking about Türkiye. A mayor from a district in Istanbul. This means that 21 mayors from the largest opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), have now been imprisoned in Türkiye. This is a very worrying... 21/04/2026 | 11:44:49 Mister President, ladies and gentlemen, Thank you very much for this debate.

On the first issue: unfortunately, we are seeing more and more cases of candidates not being allowed to stand in elections. We've had this happen several times now in Germany... 02/10/2025 | 18:16:07 Madam President, Ladies and gentlemen, I would also like to thank all those who helped draft the resolution, especially Ms Valentina GRIPPO, and that many of the concerns we had were also taken into account here through amendments and clarifications.
