22/04/2026 | 17:55:13 Thank you Madam Chair. Our discussion was largely dominated by the decision of the Israeli Knesset, but that is hardly surprising. The bill imposes the mandatory – I repeat, mandatory – death penalty for so-called "acts of terrorism", practically directed against one ethnic group, meaning Palestinians. The death penalty could be imposed regardless of whether the prosecution requests it and with the decision of a simple majority of judges, while current legislation requires unanimity. No... 08/04/2025 | 19:21:24 Thank you, Mister President. I'll speak French. This report is undoubtedly proof of humanism and great sensitivity to the situation of refugees. I respect that, but I cannot accept many of the formulations and conclusions in this report because, forgive me, they are disconnected from reality. Poland grants asylum to persecuted people. We have granted asylum to thousands of Belarusians and Russians fleeing persecution by the Lukashenko and Putin regimes, but the current situation is completely... 30/01/2025 | 12:59:34 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) First of all, I would like to thank my colleague Mr Ryszard PETRU for his initiative and congratulate him on his comprehensive presentation of both the internal situation in Belarus and the fate and problems of those Belarusians who are engaged in opposition activities or are simply trying to organize their lives outside of Belarus. The resolution rightly calls on, that Łukashenka never be called president – neither in speech nor in... 02/10/2024 | 15:59:34 Thank you, Mister President, dear colleagues, My honourable colleague Mr Paweł JABŁOŃSKI said that Mr Marcin ROMANOWSKI left Strasbourg, went to Warsaw because he wanted to study the tons of documents to prepare the discussion with the Committee. So can I ask what documents? The problem is that in my opinion, Mr Marcin ROMANOWSKI hasn't claimed, hasn't even claimed the immunity of the Council of Europe at all because the charges brought against him by the prosecution office, Polish... 26/06/2024 | 12:16:47 We discussed in two days three very important and very interesting reports. I chose the report concerning the sanctions, prepared by Ms Yelyzaveta YASKO. This excellent report is a kind of manual from which we can learn almost everything about sanctions, about their impact on the course of the war, and what needs to be done to make them more effective. The sanctions are more effective when, inter alia, they are applied uniformly by all countries. Therefore, one should welcome the EU directive... 18/04/2024 | 17:52:22 Thank you, Mister President. A humanitarian catastrophe is underway in the Gaza Strip. This makes the debate launched on this subject at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe extremely important and urgent. The bombing in Gaza has already killed more than 30 000 people, 70% of whom are women and children. More than 70 000 are injured. More than 1 000 children have lost a leg or an arm. The airstrikes on Gaza have led to a complete collapse of healthcare with most residential... 15/03/2022 | 16:43:28 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Dear Ukrainian Friends, As soon as Putin became President of Russia, he immediately started to build a system based on fear, corruption, gradual elimination of freedom of speech and free elections, all according to the best model of the Soviet KGB political police of which he was an officer for many years. The greatest threat to this concept was not the democratic and wealthy European Union, portrayed by Russian propagandists as a rotten and...
