22/04/2026 | 11:01:25 Thank you, Mister President. One woman in three suffers violence in Europe. If it were an epidemic, we would be in a state of emergency. But because they are women, too many of our societies procrastinate. At this level, it's no longer a problem, it's a systemic problem, a system that protects poorly, that believes too little, that condemns too rarely. So what's not working? What's not working, let's be clear, is that too many of our public policies remain gender-blind. We claim to treat all... 21/04/2026 | 11:18:43 Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, To attack an elected representative is to attack democracy itself. This is not a rhetorical formula, it is a reality that we are documenting, that many of us are experiencing, and that this report finally obliges us to treat with the seriousness it deserves. The facts are there. In France, a report by the Centre d'analyse et de lutte contre les atteintes aux élus, published in May 2025, recorded 2 501 incidents of violence or incivility against elected... 28/01/2026 | 12:32:13 Ms. President, Mister Minister, I too would like to pay tribute to the recent progress made towards a lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan through the agreement signed in Washington in August 2025. I would also like to assure you of my group's support for your efforts to combat foreign interference, to combat Russian agents and also for your actions, particularly on this subject of the Church. Minister, unfortunately, like other countries, you too are faced with foreign interference... 28/01/2026 | 10:59:17 Thank you, Mister President, First of all, I would like to commend the quality of the work carried out by the Rapporteur, and I share your enthusiasm for this subject and your conclusions. Ultimately, the question we are examining today is how can we really involve young people, whether they are old enough to vote or not, in public decision-making? This question is all the more fundamental given that, in many of our countries, there is a significant abstention rate among young people when... 27/01/2026 | 18:24:51 Thank you, Mister Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to pay tribute to the rapporteur's work on this subject, and more generally to our institution's ongoing commitment to supporting a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. The Council of Europe has made history, notably with the creation of the Special Tribunal to judge the crime of aggression against Ukraine. This is a decisive step, clearly affirming that there can be no lasting peace without justice, and that international law... 27/01/2026 | 16:50:12 Thank you, Madam President. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin by warmly thanking the Rapporteur, Mr Damien COTTIER, for the quality of his report, which deals with a subject that is becoming increasingly important in our work: the holding of elections in times of crisis. This report is based on a lucid observation: today, elections rarely take place under normal conditions. Disinformation, foreign interference, cyber attacks, health crises, armed conflicts or prolonged emergencies... 25/06/2025 | 19:17:45 Thank you, Mr, Chairman, rapporteur, Dear colleagues, As its title suggests, this text is supposed to deal with social mobilisation, unrest and police response in Council of Europe member states. Yet it focuses almost exclusively on a single country, France. I firmly believe that this imbalance undermines the credibility of the parliamentary work carried out here. The report also contains a number of inaccuracies. Firstly, there is a serious semantic error. In the introduction, it is stated... 25/06/2025 | 17:08:47 Thank you President and the Rapporteur. Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all, I'd like to commend the work of the rapporteur, whose report is, I believe, equal to the stakes: clear, firm and demanding. Session after session, our Assembly returns to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. But this is no longer just a crisis, it is an unprecedented tragedy, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, far from subsiding, is becoming entrenched and spreading. Since the attack on 7 October, the human toll has... 24/06/2025 | 16:51:48 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Rapporteur, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take part in the debate on the release of prisoners of war, and I'd first like to commend the work of the rapporteur on this subject. Ukrainian POWs are experiencing unspeakable horrors: summary executions, widespread torture, sexual violence. Locked up in overcrowded cells, without hygiene, without light, often deprived of sleep, exposed to the cold, without medical care, with insufficient food. Vladimir PUTIN's Russia is... 09/04/2025 | 10:40:28 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Allow me first of all to praise the quality of your work, Mister Rapporteur. The report you are presenting to us today tackles with rigour and clarity an old but still burning challenge: corruption. This insidious, multi-faceted scourge undermines the foundations of our rule of law, erodes public confidence and permanently weakens our democratic institutions. It must be remembered that, looking at the attitude of several years ago, if corruption is proven, the...
