10/04/2025 | 18:55:38 Thank you, Madam Chairman. Dear colleagues, I congratulate the rapporteur on the quality of his report. Thank you very much, Antonio. I'll continue in French because it's not appropriate to speak in Portuñol. ["Felicito al ponente por la calidad de su informe. Muchas gracias, Antonio. Continuaré en franceis porque no es apropriado hablar portuñol."] Strengthening relations between the Council of Europe and Latin America, in the current unstable global context, is both a challenge and an... 10/04/2025 | 11:46:10 Dear President, dear colleagues. Just some comments, but first of all I'd like to thank colleagues who participated in this urgent debate on the situation in Georgia. It was a very good and fruitful debate.

Despite the different perspectives, we are united in our... 10/04/2025 | 10:56:43 Thank you very much, Mister President.

The recent arrest of the Mayor of Istanbul is not an isolated incident. It is yet another chapter in a troubling story — a story of rising authoritarianism, of institutions being hollowed out, of dissent being criminalized. The people of Istanbul have demonstrated their revolt because they are told that their votes do not matter. That... 07/04/2025 | 12:27:42 Dear President, dear colleagues. I participated in the election observation mission in Kosovo and I asked for the floor to speak about what I saw and heard. First of all, I would like to thank Ms Petra BAYR for her excellent work as Head of our delegation. I would also like to thank the authorities of Kosovo for their invitation and support. As you know, this was the first time that our Assembly was invited to observe elections in Kosovo. These elections, as the rapporteur mentioned, have...
