01/10/2026 | 17:28:50 Thank you, Madam President. A few weeks ago, a co-ordinated wave of detentions and severe restrictions targeted LGBTI+ activists, journalists and civil society groups across the country. The Minister of Justice also accused some of these groups of promoting "immorality" and linked the investigations to allegations of "obscenity". And yet the justification offered for these measures is "My Family is Safe". Let me ask a simple question. If the family is safe, are women and children safe? In the... 01/10/2026 | 12:14:39 President, Dear colleagues, I would like to thank Ms Aurora FLORIDIA for this vital report. And I would like to welcome our dear young friends from the different youth organisations as youth representatives. And as parliamentarians, we must recognise a fundamental truth highlighted in this report. The habitability of our planet is the primary condition for all human rights. And the European Court of Human Rights also made this undeniably clear: climate inaction is a violation of our human... 30/09/2026 | 17:54:59 Madam President, Dear colleagues, What we are discussing today goes far beyond the International Criminal Court (ICC).

When judges and... 30/09/2026 | 10:37:06 Thank you, Mister President, Dear colleagues, Democracy cannot function properly without access to diverse and independent sources of information, of course. When citizens cannot freely access different voices, they cannot fully know, question or participate. The report warns that press freedom in Europe stands at a “tipping point”; indeed, pluralistic media today face threats worldwide. It also identifies Türkiye as a prominent example of media capture. In Türkiye, critical broadcasters face... 25/06/2026 | 18:12:51 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, First, I would like to thank dear Laura for this timely and important report. It was really nice to meet you here and to be partners for women's rights and fighters for women's rights. I'm really pleased to meet you here. Dear colleagues, Gender-based violence is a scourge that has many causes, the main one being the patriarchy and the imbalance of power between women and men in the economy, in society and within the family. Such violence...
