29/01/2026 | 13:03:03 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Meur Ras, thank you Madam President, The Arctic is becoming one of the defining theatres of strategic competition in the 21st century, and stability there is inseparable from wider European and transatlantic security. But, as the UK Prime Minister has reiterated in no uncertain terms, the future of Greenland is a matter for Greenlanders and for the Kingdom of Denmark. No one else. Recent statements from President Trump linking the question... 28/01/2026 | 20:09:54 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Meur ras. [Thank you.] Thank you, Mister Vice President, This month, President Trump set out his so-called "Board for Peace". The Board was initially presented as a mechanism to end war in Gaza, but its mandate has already expanded through what President Trump described as "Phase Two". We now see a multilayered structure emerging: a Board for Peace, an executive board, a Gaza‑specific executive board, and an associated technocratic... 02/10/2025 | 16:38:21 Meur Ras. Thank you, Mister President. It is clear now that the shutters of Georgian democracy are closing down faster than any of us had feared.

We are thankful that, in most of Europe, journalists play a normal role: upholding democracy, free speech, and scrutiny. In Gaza, life is a million miles away from normal. Journalists are required to fulfil a very different, profoundly more perilous role. The death of over 200 journalists is especially horrifying as some appear to have been targeted by the Israeli Defence Force. Astonishingly, as it's been mentioned previously, more journalists have been killed in... 02/10/2025 | 10:23:54 Thank you, Mister President, For three and a half years now, Europe has seen a tyrannical and destructive force engaged in a full-scale invasion of one of its neighbouring states. As Ukraine continues to stand resolutely against this unprovoked aggression, democracies across this continent are being undermined by another form of warfare. In Georgia, Russia mounts a dark war, using Russian-backed oligarchs to fund the infiltration of political institutions and control the media, tightening...
