28/06/2024 | 11:06:47 Thank you, Mister President. I'm surprised to see that in this session, speaking to this debate, and about this report, the European far-left should bring up human rights, and their violation under certain political regimes, when until 1989, as far as I'm aware, human rights were being violated in Eastern Europe, under far-left governments. And in Western Europe subversive far-left terorism also violated human rights, and those rights continue to beviolated in other parts of the world, such... 26/06/2024 | 18:39:03 Mister President [in French]. It's clear that reconciliation and reparation are vital after a conflict, but you cannot get reconciliation when one of the parties is determined to continue with the conflict and act consequently.

As a result, I do not think we can expect a crazed Burgomaster to burst in and try to stop me from exercising my freedom of expression. So, I am grateful to this Assembly's hospitality for me to speak freely and with immunity, which goes with my job.  The creation of fundamental rights brings with it a series of problems, one of them includes the very foundation of these rights. This is a serious challenge. Fundamental rights are... 25/01/2024 | 19:27:23 Thank you very much Mister President. There are many statements made in these two draft resolutions. We can compare them and agree that freedom of expression and freedom of  information are essential in our democracies. Furthermore, we can agree when it comes to the draft resolution on SLAPPs, the types of measures that are required here. Having said that, we also need to acknowledge that these two draft resolutions have to be compared to the whole question of hate speech, which is... 24/01/2024 | 19:35:39 Thank you Madam President, I think that all of the member states of the Council of Europe, and all those of us who meet in this chamber, all those of us who form part of this Parliamentary Assembly, are all, of course, opposed to torture and/or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Not only because our states have signed up to international conventions in this regard, but also because it really is a fundamental issue. We're talking here about respect for human beings and elementary...
