Declarations of interest regarding election observations (if applicable)
30/09/2026 | 19:37:36 Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, but above all, dear rapporteurs, There were candidates, there were ballot papers, there were polling stations, but there was no election; the winner had already been decided before the election had even begun. I come from a country, Austria, which has been governed very stably over the last 25 years by various coalition governments. And we have had a total of nine Federal Chancellors, one of them a woman, at a time when Mr Vladimir PUTIN was an autocrat... 24/06/2026 | 16:38:45 Mr President, my dear colleague, Oleksii, I can fully understand much of what you have said. These are arguments that one hears time and again in the media and in public debate. It is about stability, it is about security, but above all it is about business.

The insight you have shared with us for our political... 21/04/2026 | 17:43:42 Dear colleagues, Religious freedom is not a comfortable, feel-good issue; it is a stress test, a stress test that we undergo on a daily basis. It forces us to endure contradictions. Diversity versus cohesion, individual freedom versus common rules. Today I would like to speak plainly. Everyone has the right to believe or not to believe. This right stands above political ideologies, above majorities and, above all, above moods. But let's stop fooling ourselves. Religious freedom is not a carte... 29/01/2026 | 11:59:35 Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. I do not want to speak abstractly about Iran here today, but I would like to talk about a person, about a family, and about an example of terrible cruelty that has stayed with me over the last few weeks. A few weeks ago, I stood next to a woman at a demonstration in Dresden. She told me with a shaking voice that her sister who lives in Iran – or should I say, she used to live in Iran – her sister was brutally murdered by the regime. Not in a war, not in...
