Thank you for these two very valuable reports and, above all, for your work and contribution throughout the years in the protection of women and thank you very much dear Madam Minister. Welcome to this Assembly. For me, it is an honour to represent my group in this debate, and as a Spanish woman, I can't hide my pride when I listen to the Spanish government and all of the initiatives that have been developed in recent years in equality policies to reject, in a... 21/04/2026 | 18:29:12 Madam President, Today we are debating a report of great relevance for the democratic health of our societies.

It seems we very much agree on the diagnosis we are making of education for the 21st century. The resolution of the draft recommendation we are examining today, is based on an unquestionable premise.
