30/09/2021 | 15:50:39 Thank you, Mister Chairman.

I have five points. First: a state behaving like a criminal gang and a clandestine human trafficker on a massive scale – that is Belarus. Second: a... 30/09/2021 | 09:49:48 Thank you. I asked for the floor, Madam President, because I think it's important to talk about another aspect and learn the right lessons from the Afghan disaster here in Europe.

And that the millions of Turkish citizens who voted for the second largest opposition party of Turkey are not terrorists. It is an... 22/04/2021 | 10:26:38 Good morning from Athens. Thank you very much, dear colleagues, dear friends. The case at hand is as simple as it is appalling. The fundamental question is a single and straightforward one. Should the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights, which constitutes the very core of our institution and our mission since the Council's founding in 1949, be respected and be implemented or will we allow ourselves to become irrelevant in the face of a member State that insists on ignoring the...
