08/04/2025 | 19:39:33 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, Against the backdrop of a worsening global situation, this report on collective expulsions worries me, as it highlights the growing divergence between international law and the practice of member states. I repeat, despite the ban, no European country on the migration routes used by people seeking refuge is spared the practice of collective expulsions. What worries me in particular is the fate reserved for children, who account for around 14% of... 08/04/2025 | 11:53:03 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, I welcome this report, which highlights the threat to our democratic security posed by foreign interference in all its forms.

Incidentally, I'd like to thank Mr Abdurrahman BABACAN for speaking. He's the only one. I can see that we still have a long way to go to change people's mindsets so that we can find our true place in this economy... 29/01/2025 | 19:06:09 Thank you, Mister Vice-Chairman. Dear colleagues, I would like to declare my interest before beginning my speech. I'm a left-wing socialist and a mother of three, so I think I'm contributing to the renewal of demographics in Europe. And perhaps I'd also like to see a renewal on the far right – maybe, maybe not. First of all, I'd like to thank our colleague Ms Kate OSAMOR for all her hard work on this report.
