24/06/2026 | 16:32:15 Thank you, Chair. And I want to start this intervention in the name of the Group of the European People's Party, saying that we are going to support the report, to congratulate the rapporteur and also to say that this serious engagement that he proposes, I think, is what we should do. There is a famous quote by a Latin writer, CICERO: "How long, Catiline, will you abuse our patience?" I think that we can say the same about what is happening in Azerbaijan. We know that Azerbaijan is a key... 23/06/2026 | 18:01:34 Thank you, Chair. Colleagues, This report provides a thorough account of the destructive acts of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The country has been a threat to peace in the Middle East since 1979. A country that has called to destroy some of its neighbours.

A French soldier died some days ago in Lebanon. The economic consequences of the war have only started, but the middle class is suffering a lot. How do you foresee the possibility of peace in... 20/04/2026 | 12:46:32 Thank you very much, colleagues, for all your comments. The election in Hungary was a very special moment for this institution because, as some of our colleagues have said, NGOs and some political parties, especially the parties that won the elections, didn't want to engage with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). We were the only international institution that had engagement with all the political actors in those elections. So for us, it was very important. In...
