13/10/2022 | 15:48:43 Thank you Mister Chairman. On behalf of my political group, Group of the European People's Party, here is what I have to say on what we are discussing today about the protection of a fundamental human right, which is the right to choose who you love in dignity and in full respect with this choice. There is no doubt that there has been enormous progress in the last years on that front and we are proud that Europe, overall, is at the forefront of that fight for this human right. But there is a... 12/10/2022 | 11:38:16 Mister Chairman, I come in front of you today, dear colleagues, to speak to you as a friend, a long-standing friend of Turkish European vocation. Actually, I represent the country Greece that has been a strong supporter, actually one among the strongest and most sincere supporters of Türkiye's European vocation after Helsinki and one of the countries that sees it in its national interest to have a European, liberal, democratic Türkiye at peace with itself and at peace with its neighbourhood... 21/06/2022 | 17:22:18 Okay.

We have a particular interest in EPP to see this challenge effectively answered. Now we have had waves of democratisation in the past... 27/04/2022 | 15:34:12 Thank you Mr President, I read the report. It's an excellent report, and I agree with all the recommendations. But I have a point to make. No matter how good a report is, and this is a very good report, it cannot fully describe the enormity of what we are faced with. It's not only what is happening in Ukraine, an attack on our core values, as it has been described. It is an attack on our most basic assumptions, on our mental universe, on our imagination. The unimaginable became possible. Our...
