11/10/2023 | 16:00:09 Mister President, honourable Members, On Saturday morning, we woke up to terrible news and horrible images of violence flaring up in the Middle East, again. Comparable to the acts of Daesh, Hamas' war of terror has spared no one. Families, women, and children were shot dead in the open street in broad daylight, and almost 300 people were massacred at a youth party. Israel was attacked from the air and the sea, and on land as well. Hamas' terrorism has shown once again that it knows no borders... 09/10/2023 | 16:24:59 Mister President, dear colleagues, Reality has again intervened in the programme of the Parliamentary Assembly autumn session. Israel is bleeding incomparably since 1973, the Yom Kippur War 50 years ago exactly: it is not an accident. This was a planned and very barbarically executed operation. We need to condemn the Hamas terrorism in the most explicit way. There is no justification of this brutality which we are experiencing. How about the peace process, dear colleagues.

We must remain the engine in... 24/01/2023 | 19:33:14 Thank you, President, and thank you colleagues for the very stimulating discussion this afternoon and this evening. I listened to everybody. I do not know how many, but probably some of you did the same. It would be really very difficult to summarise what was said but I would like to underline what Mr Davor Ivo STIER quoted from Ms Baerbock quoting Adenauer, the soul of Europe is a formulation, which, I think, when we are entering the 75th anniversary of our existence as the Council of Europe... 23/01/2023 | 15:52:34 Thank you, President, I would like to congratulate you and all new office holders of this Assembly. I wish you a successful work to all of you in the coming year. I would like to congratulate also all national delegations. We have not had an easy challenge in front of us. We had to create an appropriate gender balance in the organisation. One third of all national delegations are now ladies and we have done it. I was doubtful about our ability to do this, but we have done it. So...
