27/06/2024 | 10:22:38 President and colleagues, One month ago, the Standing Committee met in Vilnius. It was soon after the law on foreign agents had been passed, soon after thousands of Georgians had taken to the streets demonstrating against the law. Our current affairs debate in Vilnius was timely, our debate today is urgent. The Georgian democracy is backsliding towards an illiberal democracy and the country’s democratic forces are under heavy pressure. The Council of Europe must send a strong message to the... 24/06/2024 | 17:18:06 Thank you, Madam chair. Thank you, good colleagues, also for your comments. I just want to finish what I just needed to say in my first speech: the rules of procedure are not very reader-friendly. The Committee proposed that thorough editorial work is being undertaken to simplify our rules while ensuring coherence. I would like to give some comments to our colleagues. First, I would like to say that this is the oldest Organisation dealing with democracy, principles of state, and taking care... 24/06/2024 | 16:50:35 Thank you, Madam Chair and Madam President, and colleagues. It is important to regularly reflect upon how to improve, to clarify, simplify or modify our rules to ensure the best possible functioning of our Assembly. The draft Resolution before us is the result of thorough discussions in the Committee.

The draft Resolution contains proposals regarding the... 17/04/2024 | 20:30:43 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) President, I take the floor with a heavy heart. Alexei Navalny has been on our agenda numerous times since the poisoning in 2020. Vladimir Kara-Murza will return on our agenda. Until he is released. I cannot bear to think about him suffering the same fate as Mr Navalny. The news of Mr Navalny’s death pained me. That people lose their lives because they are opposed to the political leadership in my neighboring country is heart wrenching. It... 16/04/2024 | 17:56:16 Dear President, The Group of the European People's Party would like to start by thanking Ms Dora BAKOYANNIS for her report and draft opinion. We know that she and her team have been working hard and diligently. Thanks to her efforts, we can have a well-founded debate here today. To many in this room, this it is a difficult and sensitive question. So also, for members of the EPP group. We do not have a unified position on this question. I therefore welcome the debate and look forward to...
