29/01/2026 | 18:55:17 [Off-mic]... reports here in the Assembly, and I hope to know what the colleagues that did not have the opportunity to speak now wanted to say. I'm very grateful for the support and, let's be realistic, because compared to the debate before, this is a nice debate, we have the impression that this is a nice debate and it's consensual, but I think we have to bear in mind that talking about the Social Charter is talking about a diamond. It's a treasure. We bear in our midst a treasure. And if we... 29/01/2026 | 18:32:01 Thank you, Mr Chair, Dear colleagues, 2026 marks the 65th anniversary of the European Social Charter. Sixty-five years of commitment to social rights. Sixty-five years of a text that remains a compass for Europe. A compass for economic and social rights. A compass for democracy. The Charter is not just another treaty. It is the only European instrument entirely devoted to protecting the most vulnerable. It is a source of pride. Above all, it is a collective political responsibility. Social... 02/10/2025 | 18:42:50 Dear colleagues, The Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons has been seized for an opinion on the draft resolution on "Analysis and guidelines to guarantee the right to housing" prepared by the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development. I thank the rapporteur, Aurora FLORIDIA, for her excellent and ambitious draft report and resolution. It is important that our Committee had the opportunity to contribute to it because guaranteeing the right to housing is... 25/06/2025 | 16:11:07 Thank you very much, Mr President. The Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons has been asked for a report of opinion. And we were honoured to do so because it's not a usual thing. And this is good that our Committee has been asked for our opinion, because in our discussions in the Committee, we saw that we brought a lot of the experiences that many of our members have made in the last weeks and months into the discussion. I want to thank my colleague Ms Ingjerd Schie SCHOU for... 10/04/2025 | 17:09:22 Thank you very much, Mister Chairman. And thank you to all the speakers, to whom I've listened attentively. Thank you also for all the important elements that complete the picture of our debate. Of course, this debate has a deep political and emotional dimension. Allow me to repeat a number of things I said at the outset, which I hope to be able to repeat on behalf of our Parliamentary Assembly. First: we strongly condemn the attacks of October 2023. Second: we repeat once again our call for... 10/04/2025 | 15:35:32 Thank you very much, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, I have a rather difficult mission, in a subject that is politically highly charged and very delicate: to try to get us to converge towards clarity on a single point, the human right to receive humanitarian aid. Nothing more, nothing less. It is with great emotion and a deep sense of responsibility that I address you today to speak of the tragic plight of the people of Gaza over the past eighteen months, but even more so since a... 25/01/2024 | 17:02:32 Thank you very much, Mister Chair. It‘s my pleasure and honour to speak on this very important report on behalf of our Group of the European People's Party and with the support of our Luxembourgish delegation, which had the opportunity to develop a strong relationship with the democratic forces of Belarus in the last months. We want to congratulate Mr Kimmo KILJUNEN for his very clear and inspiring report. Personally, I consider him as an ally and colleague in the fight for a free and... 20/06/2023 | 17:13:29 Thank you very much. It is an amendment that basically, I support - I only wanted to propose a sub-amendment, we have three entities, institutions, that we have to differentiate: the office of Ms Sviatlana TSIKHANOUSKAYA, the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus and the Coordination Council. They are working together. They are in a very strong unity and the report says it very clearly, but I think it is very important to distinguish their roles, what they are doing exactly. And that is why... 20/06/2023 | 17:04:48 Thank you very much for the words and thanks to all of you for your interventions and all your support. I remember very well the seven months – I think it was seven months – of manifestations in Belarus in 2020 before and after the elections. It was our hope and we had all emotions hoping that Belarus would be free. We saw this longing for the freedom of the people we saw manifesting and demonstrating. We saw they were starving for a new beginning in this beautiful country. During my report... 20/06/2023 | 15:44:28 Mister Chairman, ladies and gentlemen Dear colleagues of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Dear Mrs Sviatlana TSIKHANOUSKAYA and all the friends who have joined us from Belarus, committed to a free Belarus, I was honoured to be appointed rapporteur for the report "Addressing the specific challenges faced by Belarusians in exile" and to have my report unanimously adopted by the Committee on Migration, Refugees and Displaced Persons on 11 May. I stand before you now to ask...
