27/01/2022 | 09:40:54 Thank you, I would also like to comment on the subject of mandatory vaccination. Yesterday we had a big debate in the German Bundestag about this. We know that in Austria it has just been decided, and I have a big problem with the words, which are also in the report, and which Mrs. Petra BAYR had also said: "No one is safe, until everyone is safe". I would like to counter with Benjamin FRANKLIN: "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither... 28/01/2021 | 11:22:13 Mr Chairperson, Ladies and gentlemen, The problem caused by the fact that large tech companies delete what they want and leave what they want standing became particularly clear to me on 21 January, a week ago. In a group that I administer myself, a member commented; unfortunately, Germans are pretty stupid who vote for such things - this comment was deleted by Facebook. Hate Speech? I don't think so. A threat to public safety even less so. I think we agree: this man just didn't like Angela... 27/01/2021 | 11:47:02 Dear Mister Chairman, Dear Colleagues, When we debate the ethical dimensions of the political strategies of vaccination against the corona virus, we have to admit that sometimes we actually hope for more than we know. We do not know whether people who have received the COVID-19 vaccine are actually immune afterwards. We don't yet know to what extent they will continue to be contagious, and we don't know what long-term effects to expect. From these facts, there are really three premises that... 26/01/2021 | 11:53:28 Honourable Chairman, Distinguished colleagues and delegates, It's clear the Polish government has gone too far with its reforms but this report goes too far as well. The draft resolution is unacceptable in this form because it contains false claims and also a biased interpretation of the situation. Let's face it, the political situation in Poland is marked by an extreme confrontation between the two major political forces PiS and PO. It's basically like the left and right divide that we've... 02/10/2019 | 19:13:21 Thank you very much for this report. It's a topic that affects me personally. I have a woman in my constituency, who comes from Eichwalde, who in 2016 went to the Christmas market at the Gedächtniskirche in Berlin and did not return. All that was given to the relatives, was a bit of help, a mourning card and otherwise they were told that it was bad luck. That is unacceptable. We should work together here, and that is why it is a very, very good start to strengthening the very rights of these... 26/06/2019 | 19:25:19 Madam President, dear relatives of Daphne Caruana Galizia, dear colleagues, dear rapporteur. I would, (oh she's there? Shall I see? OK. OK, very nice) I would like to express my thanks and ultimate utter respect to you for compiling this very comprehensive report because this is also a courageous task to do this. You've filed together a lot of single elements that really give a very complete picture of what is going on in Malta and what we have to worry about. We've had, in this plenary, the... 25/06/2019 | 18:47:38 Thank you very much, Madam President, Thank you very much, rapporteurs, Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, Yes, thank you very much, Mrs GURMAI, for the very important report on the Istanbul Convention. You put your finger in the wound and many speakers have already said that today. I would, however, like to conclude by criticising Mrs KOVAC's report, entitled Towards an ambitious agenda for equality. But if we implement this content, which you outline here, then it is a step towards... 11/04/2019 | 11:15:26 This is a comprehensive report that proposes all kinds of changes all over the place and I welcome many of them. I commend the changes on the rapporteurship, for example: we have a lot of people doing many reports and others who struggle to have their voices heard. However, other aspects of the report are perhaps not to be welcomed. Paragraph 2.1 would make our support for this report impossible, for example, hence my heartfelt plea to you, distinguished members, to reject the report in its... 09/04/2019 | 17:28:15 I thank the rapporteur for this detailed, concise, and important report. We absolutely must insist on our position in human rights and the rule of law – we must talk about it and define it. What we see in the project of the European Union is that the European Parliament wants to redefine some terms; it wants to give definitions. We must always keep the political context in mind when we talk about the European Union. There is always talk about the big enemies – we read about them very nicely...
