24/06/2021 | 16:25:25 Thank you very much, Mister President. On behalf of the group of Unified European Left, I congratulate this Assembly to have this debate today on this resolution on Afrophobia and anti-Black racism.

I wish Ms Nicole TRISSE with her report, a more gender balance in this organization as well. Let me start to thank the rapporteur for her work, but also the other rapporteurs on the election observation, Mr Alfred HEER and Mr... 22/04/2021 | 10:19:54 Thank you, Mr President.
