Speeches since 2019

23/06/2022 | 17:50:33 Thank you very much. I do apologise. President, dear colleagues, I think the report perfectly reflects the fact that this is all about a story with two parts. On the one hand, there hasn't been any real compliance with Council of Europe standards nor those of the Venice Commission. On the other hand, there is an express willingness to continue with this co-operation process on the part of both institutions as well as the civil society.

Our delegation of 13 persons was composed of nine members of the Assembly, representing all five political groups within the Parliamentary Assembly and coming from seven different European member states.  These... 20/11/2020 | 14:44:03 Yes, thank you. You understand the name. Thank you. The pandemic has also had a heavy impact on the activities of our assembly. We were able to react quickly by allowing meetings to be held remotely and still ensure continuity in the work. However, it is undeniable that there are some problematic profiles.
