10/10/2023 | 18:08:39 Thank you, Madam Chairman. First of all, I'd like to welcome the fact that this report focuses on the extreme right. At a time when society is seeking to systematically and symmetrically oppose arguments according to the theory of the two extremes or, in other words, "you want to denounce the extreme right, so I'll denounce the extreme left", there is a great risk of drowning out the subject or missing the point. In this case, the Commission weighed up the pros and cons and didn't want to... 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.

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. This is a legitimate topic here, where we are concerned with human rights, respect for people's rights and their physical and mental integrity, regardless of their administrative definition. 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.
