01/10/2026 | 11:02:52 Dear President, Dear colleagues, It is time for some common sense in this debate, as it is focused on involving young people in climate policies, and yes, politicians of Europe owe young people an explanation and an apology. Because indeed, as the title says, Europe is now the fastest-warming continent. But at the same time, this report carefully avoids mentioning another scientific fact: that it is Europe that has cut its emissions to the largest degree. Now, the left very often says that... 30/09/2026 | 11:05:51 Mister President, Dear colleagues, This resolution says a lot how important freedom of speech is, how we cherish media pluralism, how it is a prerequisite for democracy. It's obviously all true. The question is though, whether this Assembly applies this universal standard to everyone, regardless of political allegiance. In my country, in Poland, the so-called liberal centre-left pro-European government took control of the public media, public television, public radio, national news agency, by... 29/09/2026 | 20:43:00 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Madam President, Dear colleagues, There are many reasons invoked by authors of this report – but in reality, it has only one goal. To extend electoral base of the left. To grant immigrants rights to vote not just in local but even national elections. Without citizenship. Just after five years of residence "or even less". Colleagues, the right to vote is not a public service offered to residents. It is the heart of citizenship – the way a... 25/06/2026 | 18:06:23 Thank you, President. And I can only subscribe to what Mr Rónán MULLEN has said. Congratulations to the rapporteur. Very, very good work. And I, as a conservative, I'm happy that there are some rare occasions when I can even support reports drafted by a member of the far left, which is very good situation. Because the main goal of what we are working on here is too important not to do so. We might have some differences. I will tell about it a little bit later. But it addresses indeed one of... 23/04/2026 | 11:44:25 Madam President, dear colleagues, Almost every session, we meet here in this Assembly and we debate about the Middle East. And unfortunately the situation seems to be worse than ever. War crimes are committed on a daily basis and by almost all parties and all stakeholders. Tens of thousands of civilians have already lost their lives and many more are losing theirs every day. Mass bombings, terror attacks, the indiscriminate use of force by military or other organisations. At the same time... 29/01/2026 | 18:21:22 Mister President, Dear colleagues, This is a basic fact: if a 13-year-old boy comes to his parents and says that he feels that he is a girl, he doesn't magically become a girl. And if his parents want to help him, they shouldn't be prosecuted. Do you know who should be prosecuted? Those who try to administer life-changing drugs, so called "puberty blockers" to these children. This is a test, not for the left, as I said again – the left is already lost. But the Group of the European People's... 29/01/2026 | 18:17:04 Mister President, Dear colleagues, We wil actually vote in favour of this amendment, although unfortunately it changes nothing, because while it is a rotten compromise between the left and the Group of the European People's Party, pretending to be right, we have very dangerous wording at the end of it, because all of these actions are not prosecuted, so long as they do not attempt to change people. Well, what is the reason? If parents want to help their children, they do indeed want to change... 29/01/2026 | 11:40:15 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, Mr Piero FASSINO, congratulations on the report. It is very well-written, although it could have been worded more strongly in certain areas. And I hope that some of the amendments that were presented will go through in this Assembly. I want to focus on a group that is particularly persecuted in the Middle East and it concerns both Iran, it concerns Syria, it concerns other countries. And I'm referring to Christians. Christian people in Muslim... 26/01/2026 | 11:20:29 Thank you. Mister President, dear colleagues, I am challenging the credentials of the Austrian delegation based on the fact that it may violate the principle of gender equality, that is, Rule 6.2.b. Currently, 66% of the representatives of Austria represent just one sex, while we should be striving for 40%. While this rule will firmly enter into force from 27 January, we are about to elect our next president, and the leading candidate is from this delegation. The presidential term is for two... 24/06/2025 | 12:32:47 Thank you, President, Excellency. It was a very interesting debate on the letter of the nine leaders about the judicial activism of the European Court of Human Rights. You also referred to it as addressing it as probably not the best way to approach this matter. But there is a way in the Convention, Article 46, that states that the Committee of Ministers can seize the Court for a ruling on the question of interpretation. Such a referral decision might be taken by the Committee of Ministers...
