24/01/2023 | 17:24:53 Thank you, Mister President. When Ms Fiona O'LOUGHLIN introduced her excellent report, she put the three key themes of our work in this order: democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Democracy first. And that's not to underplay human rights, but human rights I think is well understood. Democracy is sometimes taken for granted as our role, and sometimes lip service is paid to our democratic functions. So we need to increase the profile of our role in democracy, not just one form of... 13/10/2022 | 16:54:10 Mister President, As some of my colleagues here, not least Mr John HOWELL, our delegation leader, will confirm, I don't need any encouragement to attack the Tory government in the United Kingdom. I will tell you there are many opportunities at present to attack them.

The Justice minister in the House of Lords, Lord Bellamy... 23/06/2022 | 10:31:07 Mister President, Can I also thank the rapporteur for a very well-balanced report? The brutal murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia shocked us all. I was at the time your general rapporteur on media freedom and the safety of journalists. I was involved in that capacity along with other members of the Assembly and particularly also with the three very brave and committed sons of Daphne, in helping to expose the corruption and the crime in Malta at the time. It wasn't easy for me as a member of the... 21/06/2022 | 11:27:48 Thank you, Mister President. I have been listening very closely to every contribution to this debate. Can I say, I warmly welcome the report by Mr Bogdan KLICH? I think it is the way forward, but, frankly, I have been disappointed by some of the contributions. For example, the contribution from Ireland, from Mr Thomas PRINGLE and from Mr Damien COTTIER from Switzerland, who imply – or who argue – in favour of the very narrow definition of security that Ms Marija PEJČINOVIĆ-BURIĆ put forward...
