21/04/2026 | 11:49:21 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, Coming from Romania, where we have recently seen politicians threatened and targeted both online and physically, during election campaigns and beyond, I know this is not a distant issue. It is real, and it is growing all across Europe. Violence and hate against politicians are increasing and becoming a serious threat to democracy. And when politicians are threatened or pushed out of public life, pluralism suffers, and democracy, of course, cannot... 02/10/2025 | 10:26:14 Thank you, Mister Chair. And thank you, Mr Iulian BULAI, for your draft resolution. Russia's aggression goes far beyond Ukraine. Through drones, cyber-attacks, disinformation and hidden financing, it tries to destabilise all of Europe. We have seen missiles hitting schools and homes in Ukraine, but also drones entering NATO airspace, including my country, Romania. Let me be clear: Romania will defend its territory. From now on, any drone that crosses our skies will be stopped and destroyed... 01/10/2025 | 18:05:50 Thank you, Chair, Honourable President, Esteemed colleagues, When we look at Bulgaria today, we see a country that has taken significant steps to strengthen democracy, rule of law and of course, good governance.

They refuse to accept a shrinking civic space, or that politics should remain the privilege of the few. Instead, they bring new forms of engagement, from creative protests and digital campaigns to participatory budgeting and civic labs where ideas turn into action. These young people are driven by the belief that democracy must be lived, not just inherited... 08/04/2025 | 11:26:50 Dear colleagues, the very foundations of our democracies are under attack. Freedom, sovereignty, the rule of law: all are under fire. And in Romania, we felt this threat up close. Because in December, our presidential elections were annulled due to multiple issues, a lot of them being closely linked to foreign interference. The use of artificial intelligence, disinformation spread through fake social media accounts, amplifying pro-Russian candidate messages. Illegal foreign financing enabled...
