09/04/2025 | 11:21:49 Thank you very much for giving me another possibility to speak on an issue that is very problematic in the whole region, but especially in my country, Albania. So that's why I requested to have this chance to speak. It's time to speak loudly about a plague that silently consumes nations from within. So, corruption. Corruption is not a political issue. Corruption is worse than every other phenomenon. It's like a disease that has metastasised across all layers of society; that destroys all... 08/04/2025 | 17:52:33 Thank you.

Please be sure that you have all of our support and hope to have your support when we are in need, as you have done so far. Dear colleagues, Autocracies are once again the greatest threat – not only to freedom and democracy but also to peace and international stability. And once again, we must... 31/01/2025 | 11:22:08 Thank you, Mister Chairman, First of all, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, Ms EDER-GITSCHTHALER, for the report on a very interesting and important issue.   Today, we are addressing this issue immediately after we discussed Long Covid, both reports that are interlinked with each other.  What we are now discussing is age-based discrimination. The motto of the UN in the last years has been: "Leave no one behind". But, in the case of older people, many of them are left aside and many...
