22/04/2021 | 13:04:48 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mr President, At our last session in January of this year, we debated this very same issue as a ‘Current Affairs debate’. Today, however, we do so under the heading ‘Urgent debate’. And justly so, for the matter has truly become urgent. In January we were relieved that the brave Mr. Navalny had miraculously recovered from the novichok assassination attempt carried out against him in Siberia some time earlier. And perhaps, some of us were... 22/04/2021 | 11:59:20 Madam President. I'm honoured to take the forum on behalf of European Conservatives and Democratic Alliance political group regarding the functioning of democratic institutions in Turkey. I salute the untiring wok and expertise on this subject by our two rapporteurs from the Monitoring Committee: my fellow countryman Mr Thomas HAMMARBERG and my fellow political group colleague Mr John HOWELL. The fact that both these rapporteurs are in such agreement as to the shortcomings in today's Turkish... 21/04/2021 | 13:14:10 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mr President, Our Assembly owes major thanks to our two Rapporteurs for their excellent reports in our debate today on the situation in Belarus.

We see indespicable and inhumane acts... 20/04/2021 | 18:01:21 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Madam President, When we discussed yesterday whether to include the subject of Armenian prisoners of war in our agenda this week, one of our esteemed Azerbaijani colleagues said that he was against, since he thought that a debate would not have any tangible results. As it turned out, however, a solid majority among us voted in favour of a debate. And I think we did this for a number of good reasons. The first reason is that we have all been... 28/01/2021 | 13:31:00 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Mr President, When people in the United States, and the world, think of the events of January 6th this year, they think of the outrageous and tragic storming of the Capitol building in Washington DC. A clear attack on the heart of American democracy. But many also think of what happened in the attack’s aftermath. I refer to the closure of social media platforms by Big Tech companies - among them Facebook, Twitter and YouTube - against people...
