Speeches since 2019

21/06/2023 | 18:17:12 Thank you very much, Madam President.  First of all, I would like to commend all of the rapporteurs for the magnificent reports we have been given today.  Spain has a long history of welcoming immigrants and the living together of different cultures and religions, and that is thanks to our geographic and strategic situation. And we have also been a country of emigrants, mostly towards other European countries and also towards the Americas. So we have experience with this and that is why the... 20/06/2023 | 18:49:31 Thank you very much, President, The Socialist Group very much agrees with the context of this report, and believes it to be highly relevant. The World Health Organization of course had to contend with the 2019 pandemic. We now have people in companies, in their workplaces, even in the streets, wearing face masks, which have now become part of our daily lives in Europe. We should remember however that just three years ago, we saw them throughout the world. Countries were simply ill-prepared... 28/04/2023 | 11:18:37 Thank you Mister President, First of all I want to congratulate the rapporteur – Ms Fiona O'LOUGHLIN – great job. Sorry you're not here. I want to congratulate you not only for the relevance and timeliness of the report, but also because of its multifaceted impact on young people.  It's a fact that more and more information is available, we have different resources and technologies, and young people are increasingly proficient with digital formats – much more than the adult population. They... 25/04/2023 | 18:27:45 Thank you very much Chair. No doubt this report is a valuable analysis on the interpretation of the legal systems each of our countries make at the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), as well as the relation that that has with national constitutions.  It is certainly necessary to coordinate the case law without use of hierarchies, defending the different models for integration and cooperation that exist, to making clear that signatories to the Convention must abide by the final and... 27/01/2023 | 11:10:51 Thank you, Mister President. On behalf of the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group, we'd like to offer our congratulations on this initiative and this report. Nowadays, you can't have a conceivable university system without co-operation, without networking amongst different institutions. One of the overriding objectives of the university systems of European countries is to expand internationalisation, so as to improve the quality of teaching, research, and the transfer of knowledge to the... 25/01/2023 | 17:35:34 Thank you very much indeed, President. I would like to start by paying tribute to all the work that is being put in to this report, which is highly relevant as well as necessary because quite obviously the fight against gender-based violence cannot be successful if only 50% of society are involved in that fight. And it would be impossible to build an equal, just and violence-free society without the involvement of men.  Gender-based relationships are built on a model of the domination of men... 14/10/2022 | 10:35:21 Thank you very much. Thank you, President. First and foremost, I would like to commend this house on this timely report, which emphasises a number of questions that we're all wondering about in our countries regarding the future world of work. After the crisis and the Covid-10 pandemic, it's true that there's been a shift in the debate about labour and about labour relations. We are moving towards evermore teleworking and a hybrid model. The future world of work will be different, no question... 13/10/2022 | 18:06:49 Thank you very much, President.  Speaking about the discrimination of women in sports is speaking about multiple discrimination and that is why this particular report is very pertinent because it touches upon a form of discrimination which is less known. We are not talking only about supporting sportswomen but also the promotion of women in technical bodies, arbitration bodies, managerial positions and so forth in sports organisations. And at the same time, promote equal salaries.   So it is... 23/06/2022 | 18:56:47 Thank you very much, Madam President. Today we have multiple, very diverse information. It's a privilege to have this ease of access in our modern societies to information. We have a pluralism of ideas, and opinions on the internet, and this is a great asset. It's a wealth of online information that we're talking about in today's societies. However there is also a risk: a lot of toxic information on the internet. This is dangerous for children, for young people, for vulnerable people, who... 22/06/2022 | 17:46:49 Thank you, President. Spain has a long history of hosting unaccompanied migrant children, mainly coming from Africa, whose gateway to Spain and Europe is usually through the south of Spain or the Canary Islands. A figure of nearly 9 000 children who are alone. We do have experience and what that's why we agree with this report, that seeks to guarantee basic and accessory care for children who are alone. Indeed their basic needs that states must provide. All stated in the report, but there is...
