25/06/2026 | 18:41:02 Thank you, Mr President, First and foremost, I would also like to say how much I have enjoyed working with you over the years. We are witnessing an escalation in pornography, with increasingly violent practices designed to meet demand and grab attention. However, whilst pornography may be an expression of free sexuality, it must not be an industry that dehumanises people. In many videos, we are no longer simply talking about filmed sexuality. We are seeing scenes of violence and humiliation... 25/06/2026 | 16:25:09 Thank you, Mr President, I am delighted to represent the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination in this debate. I commend the initiative and the work of our colleague Ms Aysu BANKOĞLU on this issue. The idea of holding an urgent debate on this subject arose following the meeting of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York last March. The priority theme was the need to “Ensure and strengthen access to justice for all women and girls.” We held discussions to... 25/06/2026 | 12:39:55 Thank you, Mister President, Dear colleagues, There is a great deal of talk about "sportswashing". Very well. The concept is interesting, even useful. But let us not lose sight of the real issue, or worse, pretend not to see it. The real scandal – the one that deeply undermines the credibility of sport and the freedom of the media – is the existence of organised, documented and repeated systems of corruption. There is no shortage of examples. The International Sport and Leisure-Fédération... 24/06/2026 | 12:16:21 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, “Big Brother is watching you”. When Mr George ORWELL wrote these words in his novel 1984, he envisaged a power that watches us, monitors us and controls us. This dystopian world, which until recently seemed so distant, now strikes us as more relevant than ever. With artificial intelligence, Big Brother is no longer content merely to watch; he collects, stores and analyses. Artificial intelligence systems rely on vast datasets. These datasets are used... 24/06/2026 | 11:05:47 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, It is my pleasure to take the floor today to commend the remarkable work carried out by our rapporteur, Ms Yevheniia KRAVCHUK, on the topic of eliminating gender stereotypes in the media. This is an important issue, which remains more relevant than ever. We are born and raised in a society that constantly exposes us to stereotypes and traditional roles. Quite simply, as children, we were often given toys "for boys" or "for girls". And, as adults... 22/04/2026 | 11:52:44 Thank you, Mister President. It's hard to speak after you, Ms Zita GURMAI! Dear colleagues, Ever since the Gisèle Pelicot case came to trial in France, we have been talking about consent as if it were self-evident. But it isn't, and that's precisely the problem. If consent were truly integrated into our societies, in 2026, we would no longer be debating its definition, its proof or its absence. What's more, the European Court of Human Rights would not be condemning member states for their... 21/04/2026 | 19:12:04 Thank you, Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, For many of us, religion and spirituality are an important dimension, part of our consciousness and even our identity. For those who believe in human rights, religion is above all a right, a fundamental freedom, the freedom to have and practise a faith. Or, it should be emphasised, the freedom to change one's beliefs or not to have a religion at all. Religious affiliation can also become a ground for discrimination, which is often added to or... 21/04/2026 | 11:33:53 Thank you, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, As the draft report points out, we are no longer dealing with mere rumours, but with architectures of disinformation. When millions of citizens are exposed to hateful content, claiming against all reality that a first lady was born under another identity or that leaders are something other than human beings, we cross a critical threshold. The aim of this information is not to convince, but to destabilise, to ridicule and, ultimately, to... 29/01/2026 | 18:03:56 Thank you, Mr President. Our debate reminds us that the struggle to make homosexuality or transidentity commonplace is not over. Indeed, if some people believe they can convert these people, it is because they consider them to be either abnormal or marginal. I can only thank Ms Kate OSBORNE for having prepared a comprehensive and very balanced text, which our Commission approved unanimously. The member states of the Council of Europe must prohibit conversion practices and punish those who... 28/01/2026 | 19:40:01 Thank you, Mister President, School is not just a place of instruction, it is a fundamental space for socialisation. It is where every pupil learns to live together, to adopt rules, to cooperate, to manage conflict and to develop essential social skills. Inclusive education completes this mission. It ensures that all children, whatever their differences, find their place in a respectful and equitable environment. And participatory education goes further. Pupils become active players in their...
