26/06/2025 | 17:26:32 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, I would like to begin by thanking Ms Maryna BARDINA for this important work on the report "Promoting inclusive participation in parliamentary life: gender equality, accessibility and inclusive policies". Today, I take the floor to defend an essential democratic requirement: that of fair and inclusive representation of women in our parliaments. Because, let's face it, a parliament without women is neither representative, nor legitimate, nor complete. The... 26/06/2025 | 15:58:33 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, So, my colleague Céline and I have a few of the same references, and I quote, "Never forget that all it takes is a political, economic or religious crisis for women's rights to be called into question. These rights can never be taken for granted. You must remain vigilant throughout your lives." Was Simone DE BEAUVOIR warning women, or was it a simple premonition?

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. It is important to send out a strong signal against non-European interference aimed at undermining our democracy, especially as the report describes it as serious and persistent. I would like to add something. In the report, it's mainly the Russian Federation that takes the cake: manipulation of information, hidden political...
