11/04/2025 | 10:02:09 Thank you very much, Mister Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, After seven years, this is probably my last speech in this Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, this truly special body. I would like to conclude by saying a few words about what we actually come together here four times a year to do and what, in my view, has become increasingly worse over the last seven years. We are the body whose central task is to talk, discuss and indeed argue about human rights, the rule of law and... 10/04/2025 | 17:21:37 Honourable Chair, dear colleagues, dear Mister rapporteur, it is a notable detail that Emmanuel MACRON, the President of France, suggested the creation of the European Political Community (EPC) at the final session of the Conference on the Future of Europe. That conference, which was to serve to integrate the European Union (EU) even further, to hand more power to EU bureaucrats and to take away democracy from citizens, led to the insight that this concept does not work because the European... 01/10/2024 | 17:31:42 Thanks, Madam President. So the paragraph here says that pushbacks are illegal practices which may also lead to disappearance and must stop immediately. But this is counter to the actual factual basis. According to the Geneva Convention, refugees must flee to the next safe area in order to be recognised, in order to be defined as refugees. And, of course, people who are not refugees but migrants can be pushed back, they can be expulsed, they can be incarcerated. This is legal, according to... 01/10/2024 | 17:26:23 Thank you, Madam President. The request is to delete Paragraph 5. It says that Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights regulates that member states have a duty to prevent violations of the right to life. That's correct. And to investigate any cases of unnatural death or unlawful killings. And that is false. You all just have to read Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights and you will find out that what's in this article is simply wrong and therefore should be... 01/10/2024 | 17:08:35 Madam President, you just called Amendment 7, is that correct? [In French] It is my amendment, so I am going to present it. So in the draft resolution delete the third and the fourth sentences. And the reason is that the opposite of what's written there is true. According to the Geneva Convention, refugees must flee to the next safe area in order to be recognised. It is only then that their illegal entry into foreign territory may not be punished. This cannot be said for people coming to...
