21/04/2021 | 12:10:23 Thank you, Mr Chairperson. Viktar Barushka is a political prisoner from Belarus whom I have sponsored, as previous speakers have done for other political prisoners. Viktar is 32 years old, a businessman and he was arrested by the police on 18 October 2020 on his way home after a demonstration on a Sunday when he ran away from the police. He was beaten after his arrest, abused, including being raped with a baton and had to spend 12 days in intensive care afterwards. He, Viktar, is accused of... 20/04/2021 | 15:49:12 Thank you very much, Mr Kimmo KILJUNEN. The ability to collect a state tax for the financing of public services and services of general interest – to collect it without gaps – is an important democratic function of a state.

That was exactly the goal of the Nazi regime to extinguish diversity, to extinguish human beings when they had other beliefs, other origins, other religions, another language or another sexual orientation or gender identity. Yet with its Framework Convention, the Council of Europe builds the foundations for... 19/04/2021 | 12:18:23 Thank you very much. I would like to tackle three issues, starting with the Istanbul Convention. Aleksander POCIEJ already mentioned it, which is really of great concern as I am considering that a kind of proxy war is taken place at the moment and is shaped by mere ideology and intentional misunderstanding of the term "gender". Let me clarify and demystify this concept of gender. To do that, allow me to quote the famous and landmark philosopher David Bowie. I quote: "Gender is between your... 27/01/2021 | 18:25:16 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I would like to say at the outset that my own political roots are in organised civil society. I work closely and a great deal with a number of NGOs at the Austrian, European, and international levels. I find it extremely fruitful to exchange ideas and opinions, especially when we do not always share the same opinion. However, I do not want to be naïve, I am convinced that there is also a dark side of civil society and by that I mean all those who stand outside the...
