It is not about modernising rules and procedures. It's about making democracy real, to make it accessible, fair and equal for everyone. It's about recognising that political participation must reflect the people we serve, not just the privileged group that can afford it. I want to start especially for my colleague, Ms Martina KEMPF, who... 25/06/2024 | 19:24:41 Thank you very much.

Thanks to the colleagues. I'm grateful to hear in many speeches an amount of support by many of you who agree with our reports.
