11/04/2025 | 10:20:45 Thank you, Mister President. I would like to conclude this session simply by commenting, in a critical tone, on what I would dare to class as legal fantasies, certain things often heard in this Assembly. Such words are heard even in the mouths of the rapporteurs, of reports, resolutions or recommendations, which seems to me inappropriate. It is clear that freedom of expression allows us all to say what we please, even that which seems not so, or not in legal terms. But when it is said by a... 10/04/2025 | 17:45:07 Now. Mister President, thank you. With all due respect to our French colleagues, I do not know whether this initiative taken by President MACRON really has a European dimension or interest, or if it is more about President MACRON in fact. Is it more about himself, him wanting to play a role that will be remembered, that will go down in Europe's history? I do not know, quite honestly, but I have a lot of doubts let's say, taking into account the personality of President MACRON. I think it is... 09/04/2025 | 19:40:34 Thank you, Madam Chair. It may be relevant that I speak here.

That is to say that the judgments of the Court do not allow for a partisan enforcement by the Council of Europe. They don't allow such because the states that... 31/01/2025 | 11:57:01 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I would like to share some thoughts with you during this free debate here in the Chamber not on things that we have talked about in earlier debates about Georgia, for example, but in a general sense. Let's just take Georgia as an example as a case study and perhaps extrapolate from that. What I would say is I consider, and I believe there would be agreement on this issue, but it may be that the Council of Europe does not wish to admit into its ranks countries... 29/01/2025 | 17:48:53 "Merci, Monsieur le President" [Thank you, Mister President in French]. I will speak in Spanish.  I would just like to say that I feel rather baffled by what I am hearing, having feeling baffled by what I read in the text, which has been presented to us today.  Now, when it comes to the credentials of the powers that have been presented by the Republic of Georgia's delegation following on from elections that were held back in October of last year, it is clear that this is the question...
