09/04/2025 | 20:01:15 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear collegues, Mayor of Istanbul, President of Union of Municipalities in Türkiye, and our presidential candidate Mr. Ekrem İmamoğlu has been in jail since March 19. I will not repeat what happened, because the facts and injustices are crystal clear. Instead of repeating the facts, I will focus on the ways to react. What makes us an institution based on protecting human rights and democracy is not our tactics or ability to maneuver. It is... 09/04/2025 | 19:20:12 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, first of all, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur for this report focusing on a critical challenge our institution is facing.

At a time when the concept of security is taking precedence over human rights, and the concept of power is taking precedence over equality, it's important that we all have a new point of view. Some issues that states see as problems can be the solution to existing problems... 29/01/2025 | 10:18:23 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, Political debates taking place in Europe today are not independent of the suffering experienced in the past, nor of the fear that such tragedies may be repeated. The crises that Europe and its institutions are facing today, the European responses, the rise of far-right movements, and the stances taken by young people in the face of these crises are often discussed from various perspectives: law, human rights, hate speech, politics.
