26/01/2026 | 11:30:42 Mister President, if I may, so Mister Acting President, Mister now former President, I have to say I don't know how to put two years into one minute. It's a little bit difficult. But for sure, colleagues all, you know, and you see several examples of how challenging the times are, undoubtedly. And the Council of Europe was usually founded not to go through such challenging times. This was the idea to prevent it, at the end. But now we are there. And when we are there, we need really someone... 02/10/2025 | 16:25:00 Dear Mister President, Dear co-rapporteurs, Dear colleagues, The developments in Georgia are most regrettable. Why? Because it was a 180 degree turn from a very good path to the opposite. And it's not just the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe which is speaking about it. If you look at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, they implemented the Vienna (Human Dimension) Mechanism on the Situation in Georgia. If you look into the Democracy Index 2024 of The... 30/09/2025 | 15:41:41 Dear Mr President, Dear Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly, Dear Ms Despina CHATZIVASSILIOU, congratulations for this, let's say, very good result. We have a lot of authoritarian leaders, maybe in the Council of Europe, who want to have such results, so congratulations for this. What we know is that, besides the question of what we do, it is important how we do it, and organising is not everything, but it's a lot, and you did it perfectly. And I want to say that it is important... 25/06/2025 | 22:25:53 Mister President. Dear Mister President ZELENSKYY, Thank you very much for your speech and thank you very much for your leadership, not just for Ukraine, but to be an example for all the countries in the free world. I would like to assure you full support of my group, the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group, for Ukraine and for your work. I really want to say you can be very proud of your members of the Verkhovna Rada here who are here in this Assembly. They do their very best to support... 23/06/2025 | 17:31:49 Madam President. Dear colleagues, I have the difficulty that most of the questions concern the election observation mission in Albania. But maybe next time I can take part, and then I can answer these questions as well. But for sure, you have the opportunity to have a bilateral exchange of opinions as well. So, on Gaza, we will have a debate this week, a very serious one. I think we deal very much with Gaza, knowing that for sure we have a kind of connection with Israel and Palestine, but it... 23/06/2025 | 11:59:35 I'm a little bit colour-blind, so I don't see the difference. Mr President, thank you very much for your introductory speech. Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to present the progress report on the activities of the Assembly's Bureau and standing committee from 11 April to 22 June 2025. Let me begin with our key meetings. The Bureau convened in Strasbourg and Valletta, where we set the agenda for the upcoming part session and addressed urgent issues facing Europe today... 10/04/2025 | 11:07:48 Thank you very much, Mister President. Thank you very much to the co-rapporteurs Ms Sabina ĆUDIĆ and Ms Edite ESTRELA. May I say a special thanks to Edite, if you allow me, because I really welcome very much and respect very much this kind of work and patience you had with this country. I know that you do your very best to do everything to bring Georgia to a way of democracy, rule of law and human rights. And it's really a pity to see that the current authorities went away from this way, they... 09/04/2025 | 16:23:58 Dear Mister President and dear colleagues, The situation of democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Türkiye has been deteriorating for many years. We have numerous judgments, verdicts of the court, and Türkiye did not and does not implement them, in the case of KAVALA and DEMIRTAS and a lot of others. There was some hope in the last months, I would say, and we try to recognise this hope. Our rapporteurs could visit Mr KAVALA, Mr DEMIRTAS as well. There is this kind of reconciliation... 09/04/2025 | 12:24:59 Thank you very much, Mister President. Thank you, Mister Foreign Minister, for the enthusiasm with which you are fighting for the values of the Council of Europe. You have already addressed the issue of Kosovo, but I would like to do it again and ask you more specifically. We feel a bit like we've been invited to a birthday party, and we say yes, and then we come, and then there's no cake. So, you just have to remember that the Committee of Ministers, those who represent the countries there... 09/04/2025 | 11:25:07 Thank you very much, Mister President. Thank you very much, dear colleagues. Thank you very much for this exchange of views and for, I understand, the unanimous support of this report. Thank you very much, especially to our colleague. Gracias to Mexico. I think we can really co-operate and learn from each other how to prevent corruption. I cannot refer to all of you. It's not possible in three minutes time, but I want to refer maybe to those who spoke in the name of the groups. Thank you to...
