08/04/2025 | 19:32:51 "Thank you very much, Mister President" [in English]. Ladies and gentlemen, I take the liberty of speaking in German. I hope that you did not have a reason for fleeing or a refugee history behind you. Collective expulsions of people are not only morally questionable, they are also clearly illegal. Both Article 4 of Protocol 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 19 of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights expressly prohibit this. We also have this in this report - and... 30/01/2025 | 16:42:14 "Okay, thank you very much Mister President" [Spoken in English] Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues, please allow me to make my speech in German.

According to our Joint Observation Mission, the presidential and parliamentary elections in North Macedonia were competitive and well-run. An intensive and pluralistic campaign helped voters to make an informed choice. The elections were marred by negative rhetoric, personal attacks, and questionable... 18/04/2024 | 11:30:51 Dear Madam Chairwoman Ladies and gentlemen, Esteemed colleagues, I would like to start by thanking the rapporteurs for these two important reports. It is clear that the climate crisis is progressing inexorably and its effects are becoming ever more tangible. Recent events, from devastating heatwaves to extreme weather phenomena, leave no doubt that we need to take urgent action now.
