02/10/2025 | 17:19:24 Distinguished guests and colleagues, This report wants to be a manual for revitalising political parties. It speaks with admirable civility about youth engagement, transparency and digital primaries. It reads very well on paper. It would make a lovely brochure. It would also, I'm afraid, make a terrible defence manual. Why? Because, and here I must be blunt, it studiously refuses to look at the largest and most dangerous elephant in the room. The deliberate capture and weaponisation of... 01/10/2025 | 19:00:41 Dear Mister Chairman, Dear Mister rapporteur, What entertains me for some time already is the fact that the Russian political elite, the current Russian political elite of Vladimir PUTIN's regime, the elite considers itself to be the pinnacle of democracy, that shows off by having staged elections for some reason, keeping their money in Swiss banks, their children in British schools, their yachts in the French Riviera, and so on and so forth. Why not keep it all in Russia? Why not keep all... 01/10/2025 | 17:32:27 Thank you dear Chair, I would like to thank Lord Richard KEEN for his brilliant work and a brilliant report, together with his team.

If this Commission were to start working, that would mean that this... 24/06/2025 | 17:54:14 Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. I would like to start with a quote: "There's an old rule that wherever a Russian soldier sets foot, that's ours". These are the words of Vladimir PUTIN said on 20 June 2025 – four days ago – at an economic forum in Saint Petersburg. Another quote, and I draw the attention of one of the rapporteurs, the highly esteemed Mr KROSS, as an Estonian citizen: "Should Russia actually invade Estonia, the alliance clause in Article 5 applies. If it's a relatively small... 09/04/2025 | 12:47:00 Dear Minister Bettel, thank you for your consistent support for Ukraine and for standing up for us. It's a true pleasure. Just days ago, a Russian missile strike killed nine children playing on a playground in Kryvyi Rih. It’s a tragedy that begs for justice. The ICC has issued a warrant for Mr Vladimir PUTIN, but we know that without a dedicated tribunal for the crime of aggression, a major gap remains. And the EU and the Council of Europe have endorsed the creation of such a tribunal, but...
