21/04/2026 | 10:40:27 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Across Europe, politicians are increasingly targeted by intimidation, harassment, hate speech and even physical violence. This trend is escalating, fueled by the rapid spread of online abuse, deep fakes and false narratives, often without consequences. The impact is serious. It undermines the democratic process and weakens trust in public institutions. This is not just a concern; it is a systematic threat. Condemnation alone is not enough. We must... 30/09/2025 | 17:32:24 Madam Chair, Dear colleagues, Kazakhstan is an important pillar of stability in the Eurasian region.

The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development has presented a draft resolution to which no amendments have been tabled. We will now proceed to vote on the draft resolution contained in Document 16191. A simple majority is required... 25/06/2025 | 16:43:41 Cyprus has always valued its strong partnership with Israel. We condemned from the beginning the horrific Hamas attacks of October 2023 and we fully support Israel's right to security and self-defence. However, the scale of their response in Gaza has gone too far. Thousands of civilians have been killed. Homes, schools and hospitals are in ruins. Access to water, food and medical aid is dangerously limited. Gaza's population is facing a severe humanitarian crisis. This level of destruction...
