28/01/2025 | 10:42:12 Thank you. Thank you, Mister President. Today's resolution is very timely, but I believe we need to speak clearly. We live in a multipolar world, with multiple crises and huge inequalities. And Mr Donald Trump after his reelection tells us that in this world – where authoritarian regimes are becoming stronger – it is not in the interests of the US to agree new, more inclusive rules based on international law, as it did in 1945 or 1990, but to replace these rules with one rule: “might makes... 27/06/2024 | 16:39:01 So, there is a sabotage, Mister President. It's clear. Thank you very much, President. I would like to thank Mr Piero FASSINO for the excellent work that you've done with regards to this Resolution. It is an important resolution.

There are different positions in this hall including in my own Group of the Unified European Left on whether or not Kosovo's accession in this period contributes to the goals of the Council of Europe. As you may know, I have vouched for peace, stability and growth in the region of the Balkans and from this experience, I have at least learned two things. First of all, that there are no easy... 11/10/2023 | 17:27:07 Thank you very much. Thank you, Madam President. Using spyware as a government to monitor political opponents and agents of the state is a breach of the rule of law, and indeed, it is also a breach of the European Convention on Human Rights.
