23/06/2023 | 13:07:49 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The proposed definition of the main forms of transnational repression may not be sufficient to include all unlawful actions of a transnational nature. Indeed, on 17 and 18 May 2021, Spain suffered an unlawful action by Morocco in the form of an assault on the border access to Ceuta, a stronghold of Spanish sovereignty in North Africa. By around 12,000 Moroccan citizens - many of them minors - encouraged by the Moroccan authorities and with... 26/01/2023 | 17:45:24 Thank you very much, Madam President. If I may, I would like to refer to Poland and Hungary, both of which are subject to the review by the Assembly. The report is fairly detailed in fact when it comes to the Polish case.

As a phenomenon of government action limiting individual freedom, it has grown in the 20th and 21st centuries with the new technologies, which have proved to be a useful instrument to reinforce that action. This has given rise to extensive national and international... 12/10/2022 | 19:17:58 Thank you, Mister President. I'll be speaking Spanish, my native language. [in French]   I must admit I am quite surprised by a lot of what I have heard in today's debate. I haven't attended many settings of the Parliamentary Assembly, but I do see there are certain recurring issues you deal with, and this is one of them. To the greatest satisfaction, I'm sure, of all members who spoke on but after the left and the center-left, I'd like to tell you that in Spain we have a law, Law No. 15 of...
