25/06/2024 | 17:35:27 Thank you very much, Mister President, Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to be able to speak today about this important role of human rights activists in Europe and why their protection is indispensable. I would also like to sincerely thank the rapporteur, who has once again given one of these important topics this substantive focus. Human rights activists stand up for the rights of others in many areas, be it in relation to women's rights, LGBTIQ rights, but also in migration and multiple... 24/06/2024 | 16:16:03 Yes, you can now.

Hamas representatives admitted that the attack was prepared in close consultation with the Iranian leadership and thus... 22/06/2023 | 17:01:46 Thank you very much, Madam Chair, Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the rapporteurs very much, because times are very difficult, and we have to continue to deal with all these difficult issues. We have to deal with them, because time is necessary, that we have to look for alternatives, for solutions, how we should also deal with authoritarian statesmen. Therefore, the Russian war of aggression is not only an attack on Ukraine. This war is an attack on all of us, on our values, on...
