01/10/2026 | 10:50:43 Mister President, dear colleagues, dear young friends, On behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, I thank our Rapporteur, Ms Aurora FLORIDIA, and especially the young people contributing to this debate. We all know that Europe is the fastest-warming continent. And in Ukraine, war has shown with tragic clarity that environmental destruction can harm ecosystems and human lives for generations. Environment is no longer a silent victim of war or crisis, it speaks through the... 29/09/2026 | 18:43:19 Madam President, Dear colleagues, First of all, I'd like to thank our rapporteur very much for this excellent report. For Ukraine, this debate is our daily reality. Millions of Ukrainians are living across Europe today. We will never forget how Europe opened its doors and hearts when Russian aggression forced millions from their homes. History reminds us that diasporas can be much more than communities seeking protection. The lesson is clear: diasporas should not be seen simply as communities... 29/09/2026 | 17:32:33 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank our rapporteurs, Ms Lesia ZABURANNA and Mr Jan Filip LIBICKI, for their very important and timely work. For Ukraine, veteran policy is already become a key area of public policy and we are building this system while the war continues. People return from the front with complex injuries, disabilities and a need for physical and psychological rehabilitation. Healthcare services, local communities, employers and public... 25/06/2026 | 11:13:47 Thank you very much, Madam President. Dear colleagues, I would like to warmly thank our rapporteur for this timely and important report. Today, more than 281 million people live outside their country of origin and the Council of Europe region hosts the largest share of international migrants worldwide. Behind these numbers are human beings who often arrive after experiencing conflict, persecution, poverty or displacement, and who face significant barriers in accessing health care. Access to... 23/04/2026 | 16:57:50 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear colleagues, First, I would like to thank our rapporteur for this timely and principled report and, of course, the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development for bringing the issue of a fair employment rights to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. So, social dumping is not an economic strategy. It is a failure of our system to protect people. It turns work into insecurity, mobility into vulnerability and... 28/01/2026 | 19:01:08 Thank you very much, Mister President. First of all, thank you very much, Madam rapporteur, for your excellent work. Dear colleagues, Today's report reminds us that schools are not only places of academic learning, they are pillars of democratic life, where young people learn co-operation, empathy, critical thinking and respect for diversity. When we say that schools must be places where democracies live, I think of more than 1 600 damaged or destroyed schools in Ukraine. Classrooms, some... 28/01/2026 | 11:15:32 Thank you very much. Dear Mister President, dear colleagues, Ms Sona GHAZARYAN, my congratulations. Thank you for your wonderful work. And today I'm honoured to speak about the role of young people in strengthening democracy. This topic is deeply personal for me as well as I'm sure every one of you. My professional journey began in inclusive and encouraged spaces of youth activism. And I started as a youth activist with the clear belief that young people must not only be heard, but must have... 02/10/2025 | 19:19:08 Madam President, Dear colleagues, First of all, thank you very much for your wonderful work, Ms Aurora FLORIDIA and Mr Stefan SCHENNACH and the Committee. My speech will be about housing. This report is very important and reminds us that a home is not just a roof; it is safety and the foundation of a life lived in peace. Housing is not a privilege or luxury, it is a human right, guaranteed by the European Social Charter and rooted in our shared values of dignity, equality, solidarity and... 01/10/2025 | 15:59:41 Dear Madam President, dear Minister, dear colleagues, First of all, my congratulations to the rapporteur, Ms Yevheniia KRAVCHUK, you really put a lot of effort into preparing this report and thank you for this really urgently needed document. Today, I am deeply honoured to speak on behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group on the youth role in democracy. This topic is a part of my personal story. My professional journey began in the brave, determined and inclusive... 26/06/2025 | 16:15:54 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, thank you very much, Madam Rapporteur, for excellent work. Very, very important. But gender equality is not only a founding principle of the Council of Europe, it's a cornerstone of modern democracy. It's enshrined in our core legal instrument, from the European Convention of Human Rights to the Istanbul Convention. And through this mandate of the Parliamentary Assembly, we carry the responsibility to...
