29/01/2020 | 18:38:08 Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, With the decision we took earlier, we have indeed embarked on a new path, and I would like to thank our colleagues from the PPE-DE for these wise and balanced words. I think, with all the differences we have, with all the difficulties there are and in very different positions; we should try — at least in the spirit of this new way of doing things, from this idea — to work together.

Dear colleagues, first, it's interesting to recognise we now speak in the name of the very honorable and traditional group of European Conservatives to defend the government of Poland. I would like to thank the rapporteurs for this important report, which we've had to wait a very long time for. It's not you but there were others who failed to present a report in time to act. We always have a discussion about the question of who's more responsible for... 03/10/2019 | 12:10:28 Madam President, Secretary-General, Dear judges, Human rights defenders, Staff of this great organisation, Dear Colleagues. "It happened, therefore it can happen again." This is a quote from Primo Levi, an Italian writer and survivor of the Holocaust. "It happened, therefore it can happen again."
