28/01/2025 | 18:25:46 Thank you, President. First of all, I would like to congratulate the Assembly for having put forward this essential debate on the grave, dramatic situation in Gaza. The European and international community cannot simply turn away in the face of the suffering of thousands of people or what has happened. We are talking about a conflict that hasn't ended. A ceasefire is not the same as peace. This is proven by the fact that since the announcement of the ceasefire, more than 100 people have... 04/10/2024 | 10:46:57 Thank you, President, Dear colleagues, This is the first time that I have represented the Committee in plenary on a very innovative report that our colleague has prepared with great clarity, common sense and moderation. First of all, this report and the accompanying draft resolution show that we parliamentarians need to be much more visionary and prudent as well as far-sighted in our roles as legislators, because although this may appear to belong to the realm of science fiction, in the very... 03/10/2024 | 16:30:44 Thank you, Mister President. I would like to speak Spanish if you don't mind. Despite the great progress we have made in protecting the rights of lesbian, bi, queer, trans and intersex people over the last few years, the attacks that wish to deny or withdraw those rights have grown in Europe. Lesbian, bi and trans (LGT) women were marginalised for a long time and today they are specifically attacked by anti-gender movements that attack women's rights and the rights of LGBT people... 01/10/2024 | 20:37:35 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) The international community cannot remain impassive in the face of the suffering of thousands of people, we cannot live with death and destruction or normalise violence. A new escalation of violence has increased in Lebanon, we must call again for de-escalation, for peaceful coexistence between countries, for peace. It is now a year since we condemned the shocking terrorist attack by Hamas in Israel. We continue to do so today and to call... 28/06/2024 | 10:39:36 Thank you, Mr President. First of all I would like to commend all the work done by our rapporteurs that really leads us to think in an age in which a wave of extremism threatens to wipe out everything that we have achieved in recent decades in Europe, a continent whose hallmark is the defence of human rights, particularly this institution, the first created in the wake of the Second World War to defend human rights. Now, repeatedly, debates have shown that there is rejection of migrants, an... 26/06/2024 | 17:42:42 The majority of European countries are built on a past of conflict. Our continent is characterised by a past that is characterised by wars, but also by the search for peace to guarantee compliance with human rights and a search for a future of peaceful coexistence. Our identities and our remembrance of the past are built on conflicts between peoples, between states and between nations. The cruelty of the 20th century, which saw two world wars and totalitarian regimes, and other terrible... 19/04/2024 | 10:41:46 Thank you. Thank you, Mister President. Our heartfelt congratulations on such a relevant and topical report. Online violence against children is a serious problem that can have devastating consequences for their emotional and psychological well-being. Young people are the group amongst the population who have had the most adverse effects on their mental health since the pandemic. New forms of online harassment, hate, and violence, as well as earlier and earlier access to pornography, new... 18/04/2024 | 16:14:48 Thank you very much, Madam President. I think the advance of artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be ignored. It is a revolution of the world as we know it. In fact, it is already an ongoing revolution. It is changing practically every aspect of our lives. The new European Union (EU) regulation establishes the obligations for content providers and users according to the level of artificial intelligence risk, from unacceptable to limited to high. And the latter would also include issues such... 16/04/2024 | 14:35:32 Thank you, President. Among the Council of Europe's main objectives are to defend human rights and the dignity of individuals. In practically all European countries, we have seen on ocassions how these rights have been violated. This Assembly has condemned the horrors of wars and dictatorships and it continues to defend reparation measures for victims. For example, in Spain which experienced a coup d'état, a Civil War and a dictatorship. We have the Democratic Memory Law, which the new... 15/04/2024 | 17:34:44 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Spain ranks high in transparency and democratic quality. It is among the 24 full democracies in the world. But we are a deeply decentralised country with 17 autonomous regions. The situation we have been experiencing in some regions since the arrival of the extreme right in coalition governments with the Popular Party is very worrying. Regional governments have developed all the ideology of the extreme right and attacked rights that were...
