02/10/2024 | 15:47:28 Thank you very much, Mister President, Dear Heike ENGELHARDT, First of all, thank you very much for the report. I would like to say, on behalf of the European United Left, that we support this report. The debate on the immunity of MEPs is sometimes misunderstood by the public. Let me remind you that immunity was fought for by parliaments in the 19th century, so to speak, because the monarchist executive, which was often still in place at the time, often abused the system and arrested MPs... 02/10/2024 | 10:13:07 Thank you, Madam President, Thank you, Madam President, I will speak in German. First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteur, dear Sunna, for this great report, for the work you have done. And I think it is a very good result that has emerged.

Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Group of the European Left, on behalf of the Group of the European United Left, I would like to warmly congratulate you, Mister Vladimir KARA-MURZA, on being here, on having been released from unlawful imprisonment a few weeks ago. It is always good when people who are imprisoned because of their political activity, because of what they have said, are then released under external pressure, so to speak. That is why I... 27/06/2024 | 20:05:06 Thank you very much, dear President, for the possibility to respond. I don't take all the three minutes because I don't want to take more time, but a few thoughts about this. I think, and I would like to refer to Mr Stéphane BERGERON from Canada, from Quebec. It is a complex issue. The threat to the freedom of expression is a complex issue. It's not only a state issue, but it's also a state issue.
