09/04/2025 | 18:12:44 "I will speak in Italian" [in English]. Thank you, President. After 3 years of war, of course, the call for peace goes up from many quarters, and that's right. A war that has produced devastation, destruction, casualties, massacres. And yet I believe that we must with great clarity from this house say that not all peace is a just peace. It is not a just peace that rewards the aggressor and punishes the aggressed. It is not a just peace that accepts humiliating conditions that were set by... 08/04/2025 | 17:50:21 Thank you, President. I will speak in Italian [in English]. Big demonstrations, as the Honourable George PAPANDREOU mentioned, that are shaking Eastern Europe. They are demonstrations calling for justice, rule of law, independence of the judiciary, freedom of the media, fight against corruption. They are calling for democracy against autocracies.

I thank the rapporteur who is proposing to us a complex, difficult solution, but one that I agree with. Because in reality we are faced with an issue: we know that in all the countries that were under Soviet power for over sixty years, the transition from autocracy to democracy is not an easy one. We see it in Russia, we see it in Belarus, where autocratic and dictatorial logics prevail, we have seen it in... 28/01/2025 | 18:17:52 Thank you, Mister President. I am going to speak in Italian. [in English]. I would also like to thank, like many colleagues, my colleague Ms Saskia KLUIT for a report that, as the debate shows, is a difficult report. Difficult because we are talking about a war that has shaken the consciences of each one of us, that has aroused emotion, anguish, disquiet, indignation in everyone and in public opinions. And we are talking about a dramatic, huge humanitarian emergency, which has been documented...
