14/10/2022 | 10:03:48 Thank you very much. It's good to know which technology to use. Technology is affecting our world of work, as is quite evident and proven here in this little experience. And the much-awaited future of work is no longer a phenomenon into the distant future. It's actually happening today. It's the present. It's here. And the rapid growth of new technologies, of digitalisation, and especially the Covid-19 pandemic have already radically transformed our organisation of work, workers, and... 13/10/2022 | 18:31:03 Thank you. Women's volleyball has been an up and rising phenomenon in Türkiye, recently. Our national team, now called "The Sultans of the Net", have blazed the trails and cleared hurdles and earned a much deserved admiration from all of us. Most admirably, they didn't leave their success on the court; they actually decided to trailblaze off the courts as well. One of the many examples is one of their players, Bahar Toksoy Guidetti, from the team and her husband, the coach of the team... 12/10/2022 | 18:58:34 Thank you very much. [in French] Our organisation's 73 years of shared values of democracy, rule of law and human rights is facing significant challenges. One of the most tragic of these challenges is the displacement of millions of people and the pushback and pullback phenomenon we are experiencing. The hard truth is that those in power have collectively failed the millions who are forced into mass human displacement. Clearly, what we need is already stated in the report. The safety of... 20/06/2022 | 17:07:28 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Citizens are politically more interested in democracy, more inclined to vote and to abide by the law if political trust exists. Political trust is nothing but the citizen’s confidence in political institutions. It is what gives politics legitimacy. Trust is only established if words we speak are in line with the actions we act. Trust requires sincerity. This is where this report comes in. This report is an opportunity for us as politicians... 28/04/2022 | 16:08:44 Thank you very much. I'm going to pick up from where Mr Stefan SCHENNACH left. To safeguard our democracies we need to rebuild our economies. We need to rebuild them where we guarantee our social and economic rights so that people feel included, where they do not resent the other but rather realise that we're in it together. Usually we tend to think it won't happen here. We tend to think: this time is different each time we realise there's a backslide in the democracy, each time we realise... 26/04/2022 | 19:12:31 Thank you very much. Today I'd like to speak to you about those who were stripped from their freedom through an unlawful process that was highly political. The supposedly legal process concerning the countrywide peaceful Gezi Park protests of 2013, participated by the millions, in Turkey. A human rights defender who runs from court to court defending especially the social rights of the victimised, Can Atalay. A famous architect who has devoted her whole life to defending the right to city, as... 26/04/2022 | 18:52:30 Thank you very much. I'd like to thank all colleagues, who have contributed to, I think, this very fruitful debate. I'd like to start by saying, Lord GRIFFITHS, you have rightfully mentioned that we need to hear the voice of those who have experienced this unfortunate situation. Indeed, in the the hearing we had in the committee we were lucky enough to hear from both Equinet, as an institution, with regard to the experiences they have collected, as well as Professor Sam Friedman, who was able... 26/04/2022 | 17:45:46 Thank you very much. This report asks several critical questions. How do our circumstances at birth, or even pre-birth, determine outcomes of our lives? To what extent does being born in a certain neighbourhood or belonging to a certain social class impact our chances and life outcomes? Is it possible for the millions of underprivileged people to break the class ceiling and become upwardly mobile in this prevailing social structure that we have? How can we ensure legal protection against... 26/04/2022 | 17:36:00 Thank you Mr Vice-President. There isn't much left to be said to tell you the truth. I just want to reiterate two very critical points that are already made very clear in this report, in this plenary debate. First, each and every individual has the right to choose how they wish to live, with whom they live, where they live, and how they conduct their daily experiences. Each and every individual has the right to dignity. As such, all our policies actually have to seek that we protect and... 25/04/2022 | 19:23:11 Thank you very much, Mister Chair. Dear Colleagues, I take the floor now as the Chair of the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development to, hopefully, give a summary of what has already been debated in the Plenary, I think, in a very unified way. Clearly, today, children's exposure to pornography is massive and largely uncontrolled. There seems to be an agreement, even in this Plenary, that such exposure is detrimental to children's well-being. Hence, it is our duty to...
