26/06/2026 | 10:58:04 The Covid-19 pandemic tested our health systems. It also tested our democracies. Governments exercised emergency powers on a scale unseen in peacetime. That crisis is over. The obligation to account for it is not. From the outset, the Alternativ Demokratesch Reformpartei (ADR) was among the very few voices in Luxembourg's parliament insisting that emergency powers must be time-limited and subject to parliamentary scrutiny. We oppose the creation of a two-tier society. Today we ask for... 25/06/2026 | 12:36:38 Thank you, Mister President. The question today is not whether we want media freedom in sport. We all do. The question is which means are appropriate and who should decide? This report, in parts, mistakes more regulation and more public funding for more freedom. We disagree. A press that depends on public subsidies is not an independent press. It is a state-managed press under a different name. First, we fully support the fight against access restrictions imposed by powerful sports... 25/06/2026 | 11:38:26 Thank you very much. Distinguished colleagues, The fundamental principle of universal access to emergency healthcare is not being questioned. But how we get there matters. And this report, while I believe well-intentioned, conflates humanitarian obligation with open-ended entitlement. The Rapporteur is right that preventive primary care is more cost-effective than emergency treatment. The evidence from Switzerland and Germany is clear: investing in early medical screening at reception centres... 24/06/2026 | 18:57:54 Thank you, Mr President. Dear Colleagues, Food is not a commodity. It is the most fundamental condition of human life and, as this report rightly demonstrates, it has become one of the most ruthlessly weaponized instruments of modern warfare. Our group supports the core thrust of this resolution. The systematic destruction of Ukraine's agricultural infrastructure by the Russian Federation, its granaries, irrigation systems, ports and farmland, is not collateral damage. It is a deliberate... 23/04/2026 | 18:13:13 Thank you very much, Mister President. My colleague, Mr Mogens JENSEN, he thanked a lot of people. I would like to thank him for this very important and valuable report as well. As was mentioned by our colleague Ms Marianne BINDER-KELLER, that it's really a necessary report in the digital world we are living today. Artificial intelligence (AI), dear colleagues, is already transforming the way cultural and creative content is produced, distributed and consumed. Its potential is considerable... 28/01/2026 | 18:51:24 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Yes indeed, nowadays, schools shape citizens. That is why this report on socialising at schools deserves serious attention, especially at a time when children face bullying, loneliness and the daily pressure of an online world that too often rewards aggression and misinformation. As European Conservatives, Patriots & Affiliates, we support the core intention: safer schools, stronger teachers and real protection of children. Online and offline. But... 28/01/2026 | 10:31:39 Thank you, Mister President, Dear colleagues, We are debating how to strengthen democracy with young people. The report is right to warn us: if youth engagement becomes a ritual rather than a power to shape outcomes, we will not build trust – we will manufacture frustration. From an European Conservatives, Patriots & Affiliates perspective, we support youth participation that is serious, representative and accountable. That starts with one principle: no tokenism. We do not want participation... 26/06/2025 | 17:01:31 Madam President, Dear colleagues, On behalf of my party, I welcome this debate. But let me say clearly, inclusion is not about ticking boxes. It’s not about enforcing one model across 46 countries. Inclusion must reflect who we are: our identities, our traditions, our languages, and our democratic choices. In Luxembourg, we have taken concrete steps to make political life more accessible. From ballot design and polling stations, to adapting our Parliament, we’ve worked with civil society and... 25/06/2025 | 11:21:19 Mr President, Distinguished colleagues, Sport, and the Olympic Movement in particular, has long stood as a symbol of peace, dialogue and mutual respect among nations. But in a world increasingly marked by conflict and instability, we must ask ourselves a difficult but necessary question: does the principle of neutrality in sport still serve the core values it claims to uphold — fairness, human dignity and peace? Neutrality and autonomy are essential principles in sport. They safeguard... 24/06/2025 | 17:48:40 Mister President, Distinguished colleagues, We gather today not only to exchange views, but to uphold the principles that define this very institution: the rule of law, human rights and the dignity of all people, even in times of war. There is a growing and justified recognition that aggression constitutes one of the gravest crimes in international law. The momentum towards establishing special tribunals to prosecute such acts sends a clear message: that the international community will not...
