We have witnessed direct challenges to the constitutional order, the authority of the Constitutional Court... 03/10/2025 | 10:15:28 Thank you. Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, I would like to stress the importance of a balanced approach to the development and use of artificial intelligence in migration management.
