24/06/2026 | 10:22:05 Good morning, everyone, and Madam President. Why do so many women still become hairdressers rather than engineers? Why are there so few female Ministers of Defence and Ministers of the Interior? Why do men always have to be strong? How a woman is expected to live, and what a "real man" is supposed to do, is presented to us daily in traditional public media – the press, radio and television – but also in modern media such as online platforms and social media. Artificial intelligence-influenced... 22/04/2026 | 11:42:47 Thank you very much, Mister Vice-President. Ladies and gentlemen, Violence against women is a sad reality. In Austria, one in three women are affected, probably also here in this room. That is 1.1 million women and they have been affected by violence once or several times, physical, sexualised or psychological violence. Violence against women concerns us all.

We have also worked together in committee. It should also be noted that Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights... 21/04/2026 | 10:44:48 Thank you, Mister President [spoken in French]. Dear colleagues, When we, as democrats, look at the facts on violence as a means of political debate today, the conclusion is alarming. From a sober perspective, psychological and physical violence is unfortunately a part of everyday political life that we female politicians in particular, I say quite deliberately, have to reckon with every day and everywhere. We have already heard today that many of us are and have been affected, especially... 29/01/2026 | 10:57:24 Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. Since 2025, during President TRUMP's second term in office, the USA has repeatedly attempted to annex Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, which is itself a member of the EU. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is actually unbelievable in the 21st century. It's like in distant colonial times. The powerful take what they want. And thank God the Greenlandic and Danish prime ministers immediately and consistently rejected any kind of intervention. The...
