First of all, thank you very much, Madam rapporteur, for your excellent work. Dear colleagues, Today's report reminds us that schools are not only places of academic learning, they are pillars of democratic life, where young people learn co-operation, empathy, critical thinking and respect for diversity. When we say that schools must be places where democracies live, I think of more than 1 600 damaged or destroyed schools in Ukraine. Classrooms, some... 28/01/2026 | 11:15:32 Thank you very much. Dear Mister President, dear colleagues, Ms Sona GHAZARYAN, my congratulations. Thank you for your wonderful work. And today I'm honoured to speak about the role of young people in strengthening democracy. This topic is deeply personal for me as well as I'm sure every one of you.

My speech will be about housing. This report is very important and reminds us that a home is not just a roof; it is safety and the foundation of a life lived in peace.

Dear colleagues, Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, thank you very much, Madam Rapporteur, for excellent work. Very, very important. But gender equality is not only a founding principle of the Council of Europe, it's a cornerstone of modern democracy.

And through this mandate of the Parliamentary Assembly, we carry the responsibility to... 25/06/2025 | 20:29:26 Thank you very much, Mr President. Dear colleagues, First of all, I want to thank our rapporteur very much for the wonderful work, and I continue, and I'm honoured to speak today on the topic that holds strategic importance for every nation in our common European home.

It is happening in every European country, in every country all over the world, and the rights are influential on all of... 10/04/2025 | 10:01:29 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear colleagues, dear ladies and gentleman, Today I am honoured to address this Assembly as a rapporteur on an issue of critical importance: protecting our environment through criminal law.

In recent years our collective awareness about environmental damage caused by human activities has... 29/01/2025 | 10:26:27 Dear Madam President, dear ladies and gentlemen, On behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, I would like to thank the Committee and Madam rapporteur for this extremely important and urgently needed report.
