01/10/2026 | 11:50:28 Dear colleagues, I thank the rapporteur Ms Aurora FLORIDIA for this wonderful report and I fully support the draft resolution. Armed conflicts, geopolitical competition and growing security concerns are putting increasing pressure on global climate efforts, weakening climate commitments, delaying implementation and straining multilateral co-operation. Yet climate change does not wait for more favourable political conditions.

We oppose capital punishment everywhere, but this case is especially grave: it embeds the death penalty in an apartheid legal order, imposed by an occupying power on an occupied people... 21/04/2026 | 20:38:48 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I thank Mr Francesco VERDUCCI for this timely report. Freedom of religion or belief is fundamental to democracy. It protects the right to believe, to practise freely, to change religion, or to have no religion at all.
