23/04/2026 | 17:10:03 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank you for your speeches and for your support for this report. As you have pointed out, social dumping and labour exploitation undermine the European social model, infringe workers' fundamental rights and create unfair competition between companies. These practices particularly affect the most vulnerable workers, especially migrant workers, workers on secondment or those employed in precarious sectors. I would perhaps just like... 23/04/2026 | 16:19:16 Thank you, Mr Vice-President, Dear colleagues, Imagine migrant workers, working hard all day and staying overnight in appalling conditions. Dozens of them crammed into unsanitary accommodation, sleeping on the floor, without safety or hygiene. Illegally employed, they live and work in extreme vulnerability, deprived of their most basic rights. Unfortunately, this picture is not fiction. It corresponds to very real situations in Europe. On the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, a... 22/04/2026 | 11:06:18 Thank you, Mister Vice-President, Ladies and gentlemen, 29 women were killed in Switzerland in 2025, that's more than one woman killed every fortnight. This figure has a strong impact on people's minds. It is a major wake-up call. And as the report rightly points out, violence against women and domestic violence are present in all areas and affect all socio-economic strata. The Istanbul Convention has given a decisive boost to the fight against violence against women and domestic violence in... 29/01/2026 | 17:25:31 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, I would like to begin by thanking our colleague Ms Kate OSBORNE for her hard work on this report. Conversion practices, also known as conversion therapies or "reparative" therapies, refer to all measures aimed at modifying, repressing or suppressing a person's sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. They are based on a false and dangerous premise: the idea that certain identities or orientations are abnormal and should be corrected... 28/01/2026 | 17:39:26 Thank you, Mister President. The ceasefire is an essential step, but it cannot be an end in itself. In Gaza as in the West Bank, it must open a time of collective responsibility: to protect civilians, to respond to the humanitarian emergency and to guarantee respect for international humanitarian law and human rights. In Gaza, the needs remain immense, despite the fighting. Access to drinking water, medical care, food, electricity and decent shelter: these vital needs are still largely... 02/10/2025 | 12:28:16 Mister Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Lord Michael GERMAN, for his preliminary draft resolution on the dramatic deterioration of the situation in Gaza. He points out that the deliberate targeting of civilians and the destruction of infrastructure are serious violations of international humanitarian law. Today, I rise to defend a principle that is essential to any just and democratic society: the right to information. In a world where images and words can... 26/06/2025 | 17:26:32 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, I would like to begin by thanking Ms Maryna BARDINA for this important work on the report "Promoting inclusive participation in parliamentary life: gender equality, accessibility and inclusive policies". Today, I take the floor to defend an essential democratic requirement: that of fair and inclusive representation of women in our parliaments. Because, let's face it, a parliament without women is neither representative, nor legitimate, nor complete. The... 26/06/2025 | 15:58:33 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, So, my colleague Céline and I have a few of the same references, and I quote, "Never forget that all it takes is a political, economic or religious crisis for women's rights to be called into question. These rights can never be taken for granted. You must remain vigilant throughout your lives." Was Simone DE BEAUVOIR warning women, or was it a simple premonition? Unfortunately, she may have had a gift for reading the future. In 2025, we should no longer... 25/06/2025 | 16:57:12 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Dear Colleagues, last January, we accepted a report from our Social Committee entitled The absolute and urgent need to put an end to the humanitarian crisis concerning women, children and hostages in Gaza. The report denounced the horrors being experienced by the Gazan population and the failure to respect international law. At the time, we had hope, because a ceasefire had come into effect. We had hope that humanitarian aid would be distributed to the Gazan population... 08/04/2025 | 19:39:33 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, Against the backdrop of a worsening global situation, this report on collective expulsions worries me, as it highlights the growing divergence between international law and the practice of member states. I repeat, despite the ban, no European country on the migration routes used by people seeking refuge is spared the practice of collective expulsions. What worries me in particular is the fate reserved for children, who account for around 14% of...
