30/09/2026 | 19:25:53 Thank you, Madam President and dear colleagues, This debate is about a simple fact: Russia still owes justice for violations committed while it was bound by the European Convention on Human Rights. Exclusion from this organisation did not cancel those judgements. Article 46 from the Convention still applies to every case that became final before 16 September, 2022. The record is not abstract. The Court has documented rape used as a weapon of war, indiscriminate bombings of civilians, murder... 29/09/2026 | 18:58:51 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, A nation is not a waiting room. It is a home that already exists, a language, a law, a memory and a people who carry responsibility for what comes next. When we speak of integration, we must speak plainly. Those who settle among us are asked to enter a political community that was here before they arrived and will remain after we are gone. That is not hostility; it is the ordinary meaning of belonging, and courtesy is not the same as self-erasure... 29/09/2026 | 17:25:54 Thank you, Mr President and distinguished colleagues. Europe has not seen a generation of veterans like this since 1945. Not because we chose war, but because the Russian Federation chose a ruthless conquest. More than 2 million Ukrainians have already served. Hundreds of thousands carry wounds that will last a lifetime. Tens of thousands have lost limbs. Families have lost fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. That is not a statistic. This is a price paid so that the rest of this continent... 24/06/2026 | 19:14:40 Distinguished colleagues, Russia's full scale war of aggression against Ukraine is not only an attack on a sovereign nation, it's also an attack on food itself. Before the invasion, Ukraine fed approximately 400 million people worldwide. Today, Russian forces have devastated its agricultural heartland. Ports have been blocked, grain silos bombed and hundreds of thousands of hectares mined. Energy infrastructure has been systematically targeted to cripple food production and storage. The World... 24/06/2026 | 16:54:04 Mister President and distinguished colleagues. As a Parliamentarian deeply involved with and committed to working with democracy, the rule of law and human dignity, I find the situation in Azerbaijan both alarming and unacceptable. The facts speak for themselves. Azerbaijan now ranks 171 out of 180 countries in press freedom. Not a single independent media outlet operates inside the country. Thirty-six journalists are currently detained, and there are 328 reported political prisoners. This is... 23/06/2026 | 18:28:46 Mister President, On behalf of the group of European Conservatives, Patriots and Affiliates, I rise in firm support of this resolution. A resolution that refuses to look away from the central truth. The Islamic Republic is an illegitimate, blood-soaked theocratic dictatorship that has forfeited every claim to sovereignty over the Iranian people. Since the nationwide protests erupted in late December last year, this regime has waged war on its own citizens with a savagery that shocks the... 29/01/2026 | 17:22:58 Dear colleagues, At first glance, it might appear as if this resolution advances human rights by condemning genuine abuses. In reality, its sweeping and ambiguous language poses a serious threat to evidence-based care, especially for vulnerable young people. The text conflates undeniable wrongs, coercion, force, or physical harm, with legitimate, consensual practices: thoughtful exploratory talk therapy, empathetic listening to a child's feelings, or parents offering loving, age-appropriate... 29/01/2026 | 12:16:28 Madam President, Distinguished colleagues, The regime in Iran is a clique of fanatical criminals. They have hijacked a proud nation and transformed it into a large prison and killing field. These occupants are not a government; they are a criminal syndicate. They hang its citizens for demanding fundamental freedoms, gun down children in the streets, torture prisoners until they break, and stage public executions to terrorize the population. Hundreds are murdered every year in sham trials. The... 29/01/2026 | 10:29:47 Dear colleagues, I stand here today not only as spokesman for my political group and a member of this Assembly, dedicated to safeguarding democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. I also stand here as a European, and as a Swede, part of the Nordic family, which naturally includes our brothers and sisters in Greenland. I commend my good Danish colleague from the Socialist Group, who recently addressed this matter. The bizarre situation concerning Greenland touches me personally: I consider... 27/01/2026 | 17:58:53 Distinguished colleagues, As Russia's war against Ukraine nears its fourth year, the Kremlin’s refusal for an immediate ceasefire remains alarmingly clear. This draft resolution robustly condemns Moscow’s ongoing offensive, which targets civilian infrastructure and energy networks, especially this winter, while militarising an occupied nuclear plant. The report reveals systemic crimes against humanity: forced deportations of children, indoctrination in camps, and torture of prisoners. These...
