24/06/2026 | 12:39:54 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, Democracy is the government of the people, based on freedom, pluralism and the ability of every individual to form their own opinion freely.

By silencing the press, Putin's regime seeks to erase evidence of crimes and to impose lies as the official narrative. This is not new. We saw the same in Chechnya, in Syria and in the Balkans, where censorship and intimidation were used to conceal atrocities. Today In Ukraine, 26 journalists are missing or held in... 25/06/2025 | 20:02:34 Thank you, Chairman. Chairman, colleagues, The draft protocol amending the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism reflects our shared responsibility to respond to a changing threat landscape. Over the past year, many countries have faced a rise in cyberattacks targeting hospitals and public services, while security services have disrupted planned attacks on transport networks and places of worship.
