23/06/2022 | 16:07:46 Thank you, Mister President. For the very reasons that Mr George KATROUGALOS and Mr Roberto RAMPI raised about the respect that so many countries have had for the traditions of the United Kingdom, we in the United Kingdom, all of us, should welcome this debate today. The Bill of Rights which was introduced yesterday in the United Kingdom Parliament is a misnomer. It is not a Bill of Rights. It reduces the rights of British citizens. 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... 28/04/2022 | 12:10:24 Mister President, Let's never forget, as Mr Claude KERN said, that we're talking about Russia invading a sovereign country in a fierce, cruel, and heartless way. Now some people yesterday, in yesterday's debate, were talking about finding a balance between the two sides. That's senseless! Ridiculous! Ukraine poses no threat at all to Russia. The Russian troops have undoubtedly committed major atrocities. You know, when I see the corpses of little children lying in the streets, it brings tears... 26/04/2022 | 11:24:31 Thank you, President. Can I join in the congratulations to my socialist colleague Titus for his excellent report, which I support fully. My colleague from the United Kingdom earlier, Mr John HOWELL, pointed out the obvious thing that we in the United Kingdom are no longer, sadly, members of the European Union. It's been a tragedy. Brexit has been a tragedy for the United Kingdom. It gets worse and worse day by day, week by week, month by month. Anyone, any country that is thinking of...
