25/06/2025 | 17:12:56 Dear colleagues, I want to devote my speech to all women of Iran and other countries who are silenced, who are struggling and fighting for a voice, and very often to access education, to access the right to sing. Do you know that in Iran, for instance, women cannot sing? It's forbidden. Do you know that in Afghanistan, if you are a young woman, a child, there is no guarantee that you will receive an education? And that revolution in Iran, where women were singing and expressing their... 25/06/2025 | 10:30:18 Thank you, Chair. Let me congratulate our rapporteurs for bringing this very important topic of sport as a soft power in our lives.

Dear colleagues, today once again we are discussing Russian crimes against Ukraine. Unfortunately, it continues, but it's great that in this Assembly we discuss political aspects and the legal aspects together. I've been a member of this Assembly six years already, but I think only in recent weeks have I become very, very scared of what happens in the world so much. Before coming here, I faced two big attacks in Kyiv, with a lot of massive drones and ballistic missiles... 10/04/2025 | 17:34:49 Dear colleagues, Last year, I've heard many times many of our European colleagues saying, we will make decisions after the American elections, after someone else in United States is elected, and then we will try to follow up with our policies. Since recently, I think I don't need to explain why many European member states became more aware of the importance to act independently without any other elections in other parts of the world. Me personally, I've been stressing the importance of a...
