31/01/2025 | 10:32:23 Yes, thank you very much, Mister Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, There are not so many people in the hall on Friday mornings, but it has the advantage that people listen to each other. And I am very happy to hear certain words. But first, what is Long Covid? The term remains unclear. It describes a range of symptoms that persist after a Covid illness or only appear weeks, months or years later. These symptoms range from, as has been mentioned, chronic fatigue to breathing difficulties or so... 04/10/2024 | 11:04:49 Dear Mister Chairman, esteemed guests, I am talking about human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

Young people bring dynamism and new ideas to politics. And yes, young people are sometimes less represented in national parliaments than middle-aged people. That young people are generally less involved in traditional politics than others is unfortunately no secret. However, I think that legal obstacles, prejudices... 24/01/2024 | 16:28:29 I can understand a lot of what is written here, what we are discussing here, what we have heard. But I will focus on the integrity of the countries that are part of the OECD and the G20. They want large international companies to be taxed at a rate of at least 15% in future. This was pushed by the G20. It is being implemented to the letter by the EU member states. Such a regime was also introduced in Switzerland on 1 January. This was neither a government nor a parliamentary decision, but a...
