23/06/2023 | 11:50:55 Thank you, Madam Vice-Chairwoman. Dear colleagues, I, too, would like to tell you a little story. For a long time, I was president of the "Lire et Écrire" Association in Switzerland, which fought against illiteracy. The testimonies of these people were extremely touching, as they told us that learning to read and write liberated them, gave them the possibility of having a secret, because, basically, when you can't read and write, you hand over power and your life to others - as our colleague... 21/06/2023 | 18:47:22 Madam President, I'd like to start by drawing your attention to what's happened here. Basically, we're dealing with three different types of migration. In other words, there is no such thing as the "foreigner gene". There are particular situations, with different particularities. So, when I hear Mr. Thibaut FRANÇOIS give us a whole host of names - "illegals", "refugees", "they don't pay", "they abuse", "they've never participated" - I'd just like to remind you that, at least as far as illegal... 21/06/2023 | 17:07:18 Thank you, Mister Vice-Chairman. Dear colleagues, "Undocumented but not without rights": these were the powerful words of the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights in 2015, and it's what I want to repeat today in this hemicycle.

We can all still remember the queues of people in our towns and... 12/10/2022 | 18:51:34 Here you go, sorry. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Madam. The issue of migration and asylum in particular a recurring theme in our states and in the Council of Europe. Far too often it is used as a populist argument and an outlet for many political forces. In this Council, on the contrary, we try to give a voice to those who do not have one and who are all too often used as pawns in geopolitical strategies and political agendas. This is why our Group welcomes the two resolutions... 11/10/2022 | 18:24:39 Thank you, Madam President. Ladies and Gentlemen, The issue addressed by our colleague Mr Momodou Malcolm JALLOW is sensitive. You can see that straight away when reading the reasons behind this and the resolution. It crystallises the war of words and definitions, a strategy which is being cunningly used by those who knowingly deny a reality which is quite simple in our societies: If you have black or dark skin, if your name appears to be Arabic or African, if you are of the Muslim religion...
