20/04/2021 | 16:56:55 I would like to thank the colleagues for their remarks. Better lives for all people is the motto that Ángel Gurría has tried to infuse into the new OECD. As Mr Tony LLOYD, our colleague has remarked, it is trying to change its culture against greed. However, this motto is not the rule in our countries. Conditions of life are getting worse year by year. Insecurity is rising. Although inequalities have been reduced globally, they have an explosive growth in Europe, and more generally in the... 20/04/2021 | 15:06:50 Thank you, Mr Chair. Allow me to begin with a few words for Mr Angel GURRÍA, because we are very close to a historical compromise, which would be impossible just some years ago.

Mr Angel GURRÍA, after an unprecedented low of three continuous terms, is leaving an OECD now very different than the one existing when he took his functions.

Fake news undermines the essence of the freedom of expression. As the great Hannah Arendt was writing in her seminal work Truth and Politics, freedom of opinion is a farce unless factual information is guaranteed and the facts themselves are not in dispute. It's obvious that we cannot have a meaningful discussion if the reality itself is disputed. And of course other challenges to freedom exist. Hate speech – free... 25/01/2021 | 12:50:15 Thank you Mr President. First of all my best wishes to you personally and to all our colleagues for a much better New Year. I think dear Mr President that we have as an Assembly showed good reflexes in the challenging environment of the pandemic. Not only we have adapted our functioning to the new difficult dire circumstances, but we have also responded timely to the substantive challenges of the pandemic to our democratic values and principles. We have reacted to the new dangers regarding...
