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. Given this tragedy, it is a pleasure for me to share the analyses and... 14/10/2022 | 11:14:12 Madam President, honourable colleagues,  The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development welcomes the excellent report prepared by Ms Thórhildur Sunna ÆVARSDÓTTIR on behalf of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights.  I would like to congratulate the rapporteur for her excellent work on this subject.

While it is true that in the Chamber there have also been some misunderstandings, for example, saying that Covid-19 vaccines are experimental. Of course they aren't; they have been tested and authorised by the European... 24/06/2022 | 10:09:33 Thank you, President. Distinguished parliamentarians, The issue of vaccination has aroused great attention as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, but it has also brought to light rejection, which demonstrates that our global health safety requires improvements. It is very troubling that immunisation rates are dropping around the world.
