12/10/2022 | 18:47:30 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear Colleagues, I want to thank Ms Stephanie KRISPER for her report. The fundamental aim of this report, with which we fully agree, is that asylum seekers who have been denied asylum in search of countries, should not in any circumstance be deported to unsafe third countries. I want to also thank and congratulate Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ for an excellent and thorough report, which underlines, first and foremost, that pushbacks have taken worrying proportions.

The independent public inquiry commission that was established on recommendation of the Assembly concluded that in Malta there is a culture of impunity and institutional omertà, which undermines the proper functioning of the democratic and rule-of-law of institutions. Again, while a... 20/06/2022 | 16:31:34 Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I would also like to start by thanking and congratulating our rapporteur for this excellent report. Dear colleagues, We fully endorse what the charter for a known racist and inclusive society stipulates amongst others, namely that we remain deeply concerned about the resurgence of rhetoric presenting migrants and refugees as a threat to and embedded to society, which increases negative reactions among the public to immigration and immigrants.
