09/04/2025 | 16:31:06 Thank you, Mister Chairman. I will speak in Greek. In recent years, we have seen rising and constant concerns about human rights and democracy in Türkiye. This time round the Mayor of Istanbul was deprived of his powers on the basis of corruption charges, so we could spend hours debating the reasons for these charges, but I would like to talk about facts. The fact that an elected official is no longer able to run for office is something which should be worrying all of us. Similarly, his... 08/04/2025 | 11:41:19 We are talking about a very interesting issue, the question of foreign interference and whether it constitutes a threat to democracy and security in Europe.
