11/10/2023 | 20:03:24 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear friends, I would like to support this very important report. It rightly says that - The Assembly should condemn the use of spyware by State authorities for political purposes, which amounts to a violation of the right to respect for private life and other rights guaranteed by the European Convention of Human Rights. The use of Pegasus-type spyware should be limited to exceptional situations as a measure of last resort, for genuine and... 10/10/2023 | 17:55:55 Thank you. In the report is written correctly that to counter these challenges to the fundamental values that the Council of Europe aims to uphold, it calls to strengthen and to adhere to these values. This includes fortifying legislation to counter far-right extremism, enhancing education and media literacy, and combating online radicalism.

Given the absence of a clear constitutional hierarchy between these jurisdictions, we are dealing with a sort of 'multi-level constitutionalism'". [The issue of] human rights in Europe is not a three-way street... 24/01/2023 | 18:45:58 Thank you very much. I think this is a very important discussion that we have had tonight, and it is something that will set the pace for the Council of Europe in the forthcoming period. That is why I think, as it is clearly written here, that the solidarity and resilience of the European democracies, the respect for human rights in their adherence to the rule of law are the best guarantors for each other's prosperity, security and peaceful future.
