01/10/2024 | 13:03:22 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) My congratulations to Mr. Stefan Schennach for his excellent report. In recent years, the society has witnessed the worrying increase of Fake News that cause a great wave of rumours and manipulations in various areas, such as conflicts like Russia's war against Ukraine or the COVID 19 pandemic and anti-vaccines. We live in a digital world that offers advantages but also presents challenges, since anyone can publish on social networks and... 27/06/2024 | 18:30:20 Thank you very much, President.

And their mental wellbeing can be harmed by the chronic circumstances in which they live. Violence in their schools, in their communities, the ready availability of illicit substances, as well... 27/04/2023 | 15:42:15 Thank you, Mister President.  I am going to speak in Spanish.  Good afternoon, dear colleagues. I would like to begin by praising Mr Paulo PISCO for his well-documented report on deportations and forcible transfers of Ukrainian civilians and, above all, for emphasising the dramatic situation faced by Ukrainian children being deported and forcibly transferred to Russia or to Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia.
