28/06/2024 | 11:10:34 Thank you, Mister Chairman. First of all, I'd like to thank you on behalf of my colleague Mr Pedro CEGONHO. I'll pass on to him all your applause, your thanks, all the passages that have highlighted his immense work. I'd also like to thank Ms Edite ESTRELA for reminding us that Mr Pedro CEGONHO is one of those people who are missing in politics, a fine person whom the world should have much more of. In any case, I'll pass on your comments to him. Let me come back to a few comments. Madam... 28/06/2024 | 10:03:45 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I'm delighted to present what is probably my last report, or rather not mine but that of Mr Pedro CEGONHO, and very happy to have you as Chairman of this session. Today I have the honour of presenting to the Assembly a report entirely dedicated to future generations, who are one of the cornerstones of the concept of sustainable development. I'd like to begin by saluting my former colleague Mr Pedro CEGONHO and his inspiration for this theme, as well as his... 27/06/2024 | 18:55:01 Thank you, Mister Chairman.

In January, when the north of Gaza had been completely razed to the ground and tens of thousands of Palestinians had been killed, I called for the release of the hostages, a ceasefire and sanctions... 25/06/2024 | 19:14:55 Dear colleagues, I'm starting my political memoirs because this is one of my last speeches, and I'll try to tell you as honestly as possible. I spent five years dealing with migration issues in the Belgian Parliament, five years trying to convince those who didn't believe that human migration was important. Unfortunately, I have to tell you, the figures that show us, for example, that 80% of people actually migrate to the region they come from and not to Europe, these figures don't work to... 18/04/2024 | 12:15:14 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I have many things to say to you. First, I'd like to thank you for your contributions. I'd like to thank a few specific speakers. Firstly, to our Ukrainian colleagues, to show our solidarity with all of them for this crime of ecocide that is taking place. The crime of ecocide is not just, and you're right to mention this, about biodiversity. It also has an impact on future generations, particularly in terms of cancers. Bombing causes cancer, even malformations, so...
