20/06/2023 | 19:29:20 Thank you very much, Mr President, Dear colleagues, the One Health Global Health policy aims to destroy freedom, fundamental rights and national sovereignty. And now let me really stop with the narrative that is constantly wafting through society and also through this room and through the report, where you claim that there is climate change, which would lead to more and more animal-human interaction, which was also the case with COVID-19, and therefore we need a multilateral effort, we need... 25/04/2023 | 16:15:58 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, the title of our debate is "Road To Reykjavík" and it must be clear that the Reykjavík Summit cannot only be a reaction to the war in Ukraine, it must especially make sure that the Council of Europe works better.

That was the most severe... 27/04/2022 | 19:29:02 Madam President, Mister Rapporteur, Your report draws our attention to a serious problem in Europe. In Germany, France, Austria, Holland, and other Central and Eastern European countries, the behavior of law enforcement officers during interventions violates human rights. There are numerous cases of disproportionate use of force against peaceful demonstrators, including beating demonstrators or using crowd containment techniques that may threaten their safety. Instead of George Floyd's death...
