But for many people, citizens, partners and allies, the questions it raised have not. Because when sovereignty is openly questioned, something deeper is unsettled. People are left uneasy. They begin to wonder whether the rules they have relied on will still hold tomorrow. Whether commitments once thought unshakable are still secure. History teaches us that uncertainty is never neutral. It creates... 28/01/2026 | 20:06:19 The Committee rejected this amendment with a two-thirds majority. I shall now put the amendment to the vote. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the results to be displayed: Amendment 4 is rejected. We will now proceed to vote on the Draft Resolution contained in Document 16314 as amended. A simple majority is required. The vote is open. The vote is closed. I call for the result to be displayed. The Draft Resolution in Document 16314 is adopted. [Applause] The Committee on... 28/01/2026 | 11:34:31 Mister President, Across this great continent, we should be thinking: What kind of Europe will we leave to the next generation? But perhaps the better question is: what kind of generation are we preparing to inherit Europe? History teaches us something essential. Strong democracies are not built by governments alone, they are built by citizens who believe that freedom is worth defending, responsibility is worth carrying, and participation is our fundamental right, not a favour granted by the... 02/10/2025 | 17:27:59 Mister President, As parliamentarians, we carry a special responsibility: to protect democracy, not only in this Assembly but in each of our member states. We all know that democracy is fragile. We see declining participation, weakening trust, and growing polarisation. These are warning signs we cannot ignore as we have seen them before. This report makes it clear that political parties stand at the centre of this challenge. They are not relics of the past but the foundations of... 01/10/2025 | 18:56:05 Mister President, Vladimir PUTIN has turned Russia into a criminal state. His regime wages a war of extermination against Ukraine, murders his own citizens who dare to speak the truth, and exports terror across Europe. It is a system built on lies, violence, and blood. This Assembly has rightly condemned these crimes, and we must continue to do so without hesitation. But we also know that Vladimir PUTIN is not Russia, and Russia is not Vladimir PUTIN. Inside Russia and in exile there are men... 24/06/2025 | 16:42:25 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, in our work here, we often speak of principles of justice, of law, of human rights. But today I want to speak of something just as vital. Hope. Because this week and the establishment of the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression, I have felt more than just duty. I have felt conviction that what we do here matters. This Tribunal is not just a legal mechanism. It is a message, clear, unshakable and long overdue, that no one is above the law... 08/04/2025 | 11:00:48 Madam President, we must stand firmly committed to safeguarding democratic security across Europe. Escalating threats of foreign interference aimed at undermining our shared democratic principles are of deep concern. The commitment made by the European political leaders at the Reykjavík Summit in May 2023 is more relevant than ever. We must stand united behind the Reykjavík delegation and the principle of democracy and ensure that our leaders follow through on their promises. We must stay...
