These phenomena not only undermine the dignity of work but also distort competition and seriously penalise companies that comply with the rules. And it is precisely here that our political reflection must begin. Because those who comply, workers and businesses alike... 23/04/2026 | 11:41:32 Thank you, Madam President.

Finally, how do you assess the role of the European Union, in particular the European Union's... 28/01/2026 | 10:40:49 Thank you. Thank you, Chair. Dear colleagues, I would like to welcome this report on strengthening democracies with young people. We fully share one central conviction: without engaged, informed and responsible young people, democracy is weakened. The report is right to stress that youth participation must not be symbolic. Civic education, digital literacy, the fight against disinformation, and access to culture, employment and housing are essential conditions for young people to trust...
