25/06/2026 | 10:33:18 I am going to speak in Spanish. The Spanish government, Pedro SÁNCHEZ, is doing the right thing, respecting the values which the Council of Europe represents. The rule of law, human rights and migrants' dignity. Dear colleagues, Although the Chișinău Declaration is a political declaration and not a binding instrument, I am concerned by the message that it sends. In particular return and return centres present migration as a problem of control and security, and not an issue of human rights... 29/01/2026 | 19:01:46 Thank you, Ms Saskia KLUIT.

Because to say Gaza is to fragment and to depoliticise, whereas saying Palestine recognises a people with rights. Gaza is a territory, Palestine is a political subject. Palestine is no longer in the media as much these days as it was a few months ago, but the plight of Palestinians continues to be intolerable and unbearable. We have a situation in which peace cannot be a parenthesis in a land that is plagued by war. Peace... 10/04/2025 | 19:05:43 Thank you Madam President, thank you dear Bernadeta. I'd like to thank all the colleagues who spoke, and I'd like to thank them too for their contributions. We all agree on the need to step-up our efforts when it comes to defending our values and promoting co-operation with other organisations, and supra-national entities. And this is what we are doing.
