30/09/2026 | 19:40:05 Thank you, Madam President. Thank you to the Rapporteurs for these strong reports. And yes, I agree with all my colleagues. We need practical solutions. Why? Let's see. The Russian State Duma Elections held from 18 to 20 September of this year took place in an increasingly restrictive political environment. Although millions of Russian citizens formally participated in the elections, serious questions have been raised about whether the process provided the conditions necessary for genuinely... 30/09/2026 | 10:18:40 Thank you. Media pluralism and editorial independence are essential conditions for democratic societies. Citizens can only participate effectively in political life when they have access to diverse, reliable and independent sources of information.

The only statistics that I'm going to share today with you is that only 2% of all domestic violence cases are being reported. For the sake of not breaking the rules, I will just show you this... 24/06/2026 | 20:12:08 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Critical voices in Azerbaijan have become increasingly important in challenging the country's political system and drawing attention to concerns about democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression. Independent journalists, opposition figures, human rights defenders, and civil society activists have repeatedly criticised the government for restricting political freedoms and limiting public scrutiny of those in power. Many critics argue...
