24/04/2026 | 10:52:07 Dear Madam President, Dear colleagues, Today I would like to talk to you about two scandalous statements from the so-called "democratic" world. Firstly, two days ago we witnessed the European Union's (EU) ignorance of Türkiye. Ms Ursula VON DER LEYEN declared that she considered Türkiye to be a threat in the same way as Russia and China. Türkiye is a candidate country to the European Union. It is also a founding member of the Council of Europe. Yes, it is governed by an anti-democratic regime... 22/04/2026 | 10:55:18 I would like to thank dear Ms Zita GURMAI for her remarkable work in this organisation and for being a true inspiration for all of us. And I believe that the democratic maturity demonstrated by her party in Hungary should be truly appreciated. As for the report, when I looked at the amendments proposed, unfortunately, in the part concerning Türkiye, I saw that the issue has not been understood at all. Because it undermines the problem of withdrawal from the Convention and the value of Law No... 21/04/2026 | 12:36:35 Mr Secretary General, My question to you is about the targeting of members of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe. Mr Hasan AKGÜN, the Mayor of Büyükçekmece, was serving right here, in this very chamber. He has been detained for 11 months, and there is still no indictment against him. Tunç SOYER was the President of the Congress of Regions. He has been detained for 10 months. There is an indictment against him, but he was released in that case. However, as... 21/04/2026 | 11:01:37 Mr Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, It is absolutely necessary to ban hate speech in politics. Because when hate speech is used, it imposes a hierarchy. It forces the target to defend himself or herself or others, instead of expressing his or her own ideas. Even if that person is very good at fending off hate speech, they are prevented from doing their job. So even if hate speech does not directly incite racism or violence, by the way it makes the target feel and by imposing an unjust... 28/01/2026 | 19:12:18 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, dear Ms Luz MARTINEZ SEIJO. Like her previous report on history education, this is a significant piece of work that develops new proposals to support the role of education in creating a democratic society. I hope that it is not only adopted here, but also taken into account when developing new policies and that it paves the way for new projects in member states. Dear colleagues, Since we have an agenda...
