12/10/2023 | 17:52:37 Mr President, dear colleagues, Imagine that you and your family are forced to flee your country in a rush, barely managing to pack a few belongings into a plastic bag before leaving your home behind. Because you hear the echoes of artillery and see the drones with deadly loads. Because you fear, because you recall the haunting memories of soldiers taking lives and torturing innocent civilians during the autumn of 2020. Consider the agony of hunger, the desperation of not having essential... 11/10/2023 | 20:02:16 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The images from the terrorist organization Hamas committing bestial murders of Israeli civilians, indiscriminately slaughtering women and children, and desecrating the dead have shaken and deeply disturbed all decent people worldwide. I’m profoundly outraged that there are others who celebrate these bloodbaths. In Iran, Lebanon, but even here in Europe, within my country - Sweden. I am extremely disturbed that thousands of individuals in... 22/06/2023 | 20:06:32 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mr President, Dear colleagues, The original Olympic oath was sworn at the opening ceremony of the Olympic games in Antwerp in 1920.

The humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh is escalating. Unfortunately, the government of Azerbaijan has shown disregard for the pleas coming from institutions such as the European Parliament, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, the Commissioner of Human Rights, as well as the orders issued by the European Court of Human Rights and the International... 27/04/2023 | 20:03:02 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   ”S tchevo natchinaetsja rodina – s kartinki v tvojom bukvare, s horoshim i vernim tovarishej zhivushtih v sosednem dvore. A mozhet ona nachinaetsja s toj pesni chto pela nam matj S togo, chto b ljubih izpitanijah U nas nikomu ne otnjat”   Where does the Motherland begin? From the picture in your primer With good and faithful comrades, Living in a neighboring yard. Or maybe it starts From the song that our mother sang to us, Since in any...
