Speeches since 2019

25/06/2026 | 17:58:57 Thank you very much, President.  Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to start off by congratulating Ms Laura CASTEL for all her efforts to produce such a measured text in such a complicated environment. We are facing a challenge that directly undermines human rights, equality and the protection of young people: the proliferation of violent pornography in the digital space. We are not talking about neutral content but rather a reality that trivialises violence, erodes the principle of consent... 25/06/2026 | 11:36:00 Madam Chair,  Ladies and gentlemen,  Today, we are talking about migration. But in actual fact, what we're discussing is the sort of society we want to be.  Because the way in which we treat those who arrive to our shores defines the quality of our democracy. The data is clear: denying or making it difficult to access healthcare for migrants endangers fundamental rights and is harmful to society as a whole.  Therefore, guaranteeing access to healthcare for migrants is not only a moral... 22/06/2026 | 16:28:17 Thank you, Madam President. Mister Minister, you said that Monaco has made progress when it comes women's rights in recent years. We recognise these steps forward. But there are still severe limitations in fundamental rights, such as the almost total restriction of access to abortion, multiple cases of gender-based violence, and economic and labour gaps which affect the real equality between men and women. For this reason, Mister Minister, the question is clear. Do you think the government of... 22/04/2026 | 10:39:59 Thank you, Mister President. Thank you for these two very valuable reports and, above all, for your work and contribution throughout the years in the protection of women and thank you very much dear Madam Minister. Welcome to this Assembly. For me, it is an honour to represent my group in this debate, and as a Spanish woman, I can't hide my pride when I listen to the Spanish government and all of the initiatives that have been developed in recent years in equality policies to reject, in a... 21/04/2026 | 18:29:12 Madam President, Today we are debating a report of great relevance for the democratic health of our societies. Over these last few years, we have seen an alarming rise in religious intolerance; anti-Semitism and Islamophobia have grown alarmingly, often fuelled by international tensions that are polarising public debate and amplifying hate discourse, particularly on social media.  Now, that drift is not compatible with the values of the Council of Europe. It requires a firm response. We can't... 29/01/2026 | 18:47:34 Thank you, President. 65 years after its adoption, the European Social Charter continues to provide the cornerstone for social and economic rights on our continent: recognition of crucial rights, such as dignified work, housing, health, education and social protection means that people are centre stage when it comes to our European system of standards. The 1996 version extends those rights to workers' families and vulnerable groups and consolidates it as the real European social constitution... 29/01/2026 | 12:59:42 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Madam President, Members of Parliament, The international order is undergoing a period of profound instability. The principles that for decades sustained peace, cooperation and security are now seriously threatened in different parts of the world. Russia’s illegal, unjust and unjustifiable aggression against Ukraine continues to claim an unacceptable number of human lives and represents a direct attack on international law and on Europe’s... 28/01/2026 | 19:46:28 Thank you Mister President, and thank you very much to all our colleagues for their statements and for their support. It seems we very much agree on the diagnosis we are making of education for the 21st century. The resolution of the draft recommendation we are examining today, is based on an unquestionable premise. Education is not only a tool for the transmission of knowledge, but one of the essential pillars of our democracies. Educational institutions are privileged spaces of... 28/01/2026 | 18:30:57 Thank you Mister President.  Today we are debating an issue that lies at the very heart of our democracies: the roles of schools as spaces for socialisation, inclusion and the learning of democratic values.  Education is not merely a public service aimed at academic performance. Above all, it is a fundamental pillar of democracy and social cohesion.  Educational institutions are among the few spaces where people from diverse social, cultural and economic backgrounds interact on a daily basis... 28/01/2026 | 18:06:57 Thank you very much, Madam President. First and foremost, allow me to pay tribute to the work done by Ms Carmen LEYTE, who has managed to bring positions closer together on a report that is complicated and controversial. I think evidence to that effect is the fact that she's had so much contact with organisations that work day in, day out with disabilities, and has conveyed to us their rejection of the protocol. None supported it. I also want to add that this dossier has an ethical dimension...
