26/06/2026 | 11:04:56 Freedom of religion: a call to the Council of Europe. Dear Chair, Dear colleagues, Dear guests, Today, I want to talk about something that is too often ignored. Some 388 million Christians around the world cannot live their faith freely. They are discriminated against, intimidated, oppressed, and sometimes killed, simply because of what they believe. This is not only happening far away, but happening in member states of this Council. Who is doing this? Sometimes ordinary people, communities... 25/06/2026 | 18:15:24 Dear Chair, Dear colleagues, Freedom is a human right, including the right to a self-determined, respectful sexuality. One that builds, not destroys. Yet millions of children are being robbed of that freedom. A smartphone. One click. That's all it takes to enter a world of violent pornography. Not only on porn sites, but also on social media, messaging apps, even video games. The fact is alarming: 90% of online pornographic content contains violence against women. Half of all boys aged 12 to... 24/06/2026 | 16:00:49 Madam Chair, Ladies and Gentlemen, Democracy is built on trust.

It can explain complex issues and give a voice... 23/04/2026 | 11:54:55 Madam President, Dear colleagues, The Middle East is not near a crisis. It is in the fire. Cities burn. Families break. Children learn the geography of bomb shelters instead of the geography of their own country. And what do we do? We discuss! Let me say it plainly: this region is trapped in a spiral that feeds itself. Every rocket calls the next. Every strike breeds new revenge. Every night, another funeral, on both sides of every border. And always – always – it is the civilians who pay. A... 21/04/2026 | 18:54:16 Dear President, Dear colleagues, Religious freedom is not a marginal issue, it is at the heart of a free society. I would like to thank the rapporteur, but I would like to make it clear that Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights is not enough. We need to extend it, not restrict it. I would like to thank my esteemed colleague from Austria, Ms Andrea EDER-GITSCHTHALER, whose objection points in the right direction. Article 9 must also protect teaching, education and the...
