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.

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.
