01/10/2024 | 19:27:26 Dear Mister Chair, One year has passed since the terrorist attack on innocent people in Israel - babies, children, families brutally tortured and murdered by Hamas terrorists. As human defenders in the Council of Europe, we should condemn those horrific attacks by Hamas. And as a human rights institution, we should defend the state of Israel for the right of self defence. Hezbollah has sent nearly 10 000 rockets to the state of Israel. And if Mr Bernard SABELLA said we need to stop the war... 24/06/2024 | 12:30:52 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, I first want to thank the North Macedonian authorities for the invitation to observe the elections on 24 April and 8 May. As I only have 3 minutes, I will make a shortcut. The main topic of the election was, of course, corruption and the adhesion to the European Union. As you know, North Macedonia changed their flag, and they changed their name in order for them to become a member of the European Union.

That shows your thinking. Probably you think like Hamas, that killed their Fatah brothers in Gaza and established a terrorist regime. Gaza was not an open-air prison. The Israelis... 26/04/2022 | 11:18:54 Dear President, and thank you, Mr Titus CORLĂŢEAN, for your very good report. Switzerland is not a member of the European Union, but a member of the Council of Europe and of course for us it is important that we can uphold the values that we share here in this house and in our institution. I was a little bit afraid that because the majority of member states is now a member of the European Union in the Council of Europe, there was a sort of danger that we would adhere to the European Union and... 24/01/2022 | 15:48:26 Thank you Mr President, and also congratulations for your election and good success for the coming two years. As you know, we've been in Bulgaria for the third time this year. The reason was that during the two previous elections parties were not able to form a government. Now, after the elections, we were observing on November 14 that the government was formed. We had a new party that won the elections. We Continue the Change with 25.67%. The former ruling party, GERB-SDS, they came in...
