28/01/2025 | 17:47:27 Thank you, Mister President, I thank the rapporteur for this important report. Dear colleagues, After more than a devastating year of war between Israel and Hamas, a ceasefire has finally been reached. This truce included an exchange of prisoners and allowed much-needed humanitarian aid to reach affected areas. Until when? I don't know, but I know that Palestinians need peace to rebuild their lives and their homes. I know that women and children of Palestine have a right to live in peace... 27/01/2025 | 17:12:52 Thank you, Mister President, The recent elections in Georgia, which should have been a reaffirmation of the Georgian people trust in democratic processes, have instead cast a shadow over the country’s future.

Dear colleagues, are you sure that the car you bought was really chosen by you? Are you sure that the book you read was really chosen by you? Are you sure that the opinion you expressed is your own thinking? These are not provocative questions. These are questions and concerns I have after reading Edward Bernays' book Propaganda, published in 1928. Edward Bernays laid the... 28/06/2024 | 10:23:34 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, It is my duty, and I do so with pleasure and friendship, to underline the enthusiasm and competence of Mr Pedro CEGONHO in the preparation of this report. I would also like to thank Mr Simon MOUTQUIN for presenting the report. The rapporteur of this important report is not present as he would like and deserves to be. We all know that political life is unfair and doesn't always reward the best. This is the confusion and perplexity of the world, as...
