30/01/2025 | 17:51:43 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Although complex, the subject that brings us together today occupies a central place: how to balance moderation of expression with respect for our democratic values, bearing in mind that the digital world has become an essential sphere of public debate, even if it remains prey to excesses that we cannot ignore. This debate is taking place at a time when several platforms have decided to put an end to all moderation, which could lead to an upsurge in hate speech and... 03/10/2024 | 16:58:55 Thank you, Mister Chairman. It was a calm, contradictory but constructive debate, before our colleague Mr László TOROCZKAI came to flood this hemicycle with his hatred. Thank you, Mister Chairman, for calming things down. Constructive and contradictory, because indeed, I've heard some comments, perhaps things that not everyone agrees with, but it was constructive. And that's the most important thing. As far as inclusive education is concerned, which is in this report, it's not a propaganda... 03/10/2024 | 16:07:55 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, Promoting respect for all people in all their diversity is a principle that we vehemently defend in this House. Over the years, many of our colleagues have spoken out against all forms of injustice, discrimination, and stigmatisation. Despite remarkable advances in the protection of rights, LGBTI people are still victims of violence and discrimination in Europe today. Lesbophobic violence is a serious and worrying problem that affects many people... 27/06/2024 | 10:48:03 Thank you, Mister President. For my part, I'm very concerned about the follow-up to the draft law currently being debated in the Georgian Parliament, which aims to ban the legal recognition of gender, medical interventions aimed at sex reassignment and the prohibition of so-called "LGBTI propaganda" content in education and the media - propaganda is a very harsh word - as well as the adoption or even fostering of minors by same-sex couples. But this text also aims to limit freedom of assembly... 17/04/2024 | 18:16:35 Thank you, Madam President. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Christophe LACROIX, for highlighting the difficulties encountered by persons who are, as I would remind you, full members of our societies. This report concerns two fundamental principles of democracy. Firstly, the right to express oneself without reprisals or censorship, which is of course a right, even if this right has its limits, such as incitement to violence. Secondly... 16/04/2024 | 17:41:47 Thank you, Mr Chairman. First of all, I would like to acknowledge the work of Ms Dora BAKOYANNIS and thank her for this report, without forgetting Ms Azadeh ROJHAN with whom I made a fact-finding visit in December. I would like to thank the Kosovo authorities and our parliamentary colleagues for their welcome and the precise answers they gave to my questions. In line with my mandate, I focused on issues of equality and non-discrimination. Article 3 of the Kosovo Constitution guarantees the... 15/04/2024 | 17:19:36 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Mister Deputy Prime Minister, On 3 April, the Court of Chișinău in Rîșcani ruled in its Ciuprin Albina, Kulyk Anhelina v. Agenția Servicii Publice of the Republic of Moldova judgment that same-sex couples in the Republic of Moldova do not have the right to register their marriage. This contradicts the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in January 2023, which, in its Fedotova v. Russia and Buhuceanu v. Romania judgments, indicates that such a right... 11/10/2023 | 19:54:33 Thank you, Mister Chairman. First of all, I would like to thank all the speakers this evening – those who have been able to speak and those who, I'm sure, had prepared speeches but were not able to deliver them. I encourage you to send those to the secretariat together with all the colleagues who worked with me in the Committee discussions of this Report and Resolution. And I would like to thank our Chair, who is always so enthusiastic and motivated. You've said a lot of things - I'm talking... 11/10/2023 | 18:48:31 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Dear colleagues, First of all, I'd like to point out that writing this Report was first and foremost a series of wonderful encounters, as I had the honor of speaking with courageous, determined and, above all, inspiring women. I also had the opportunity to talk to spokespersons for associations and social workers, all of whom were able to enrich this Report with their testimonials, all dedicated to a noble cause. In all, more than 19 people contributed to this Report... 23/06/2023 | 12:30:04 Thank you, Madam Vice-President. First of all, I'd like to thank Mrs Edite ESTRELA for the quality of this report. Dear Mrs ESTRELA, I agree with every word in it. Dear colleagues, As this report points out, while digital technologies have opened up tremendous opportunities in many fields, they have also created inequalities that we must take care to reduce. The reason I'm speaking to you today is to raise a key issue that requires everyone's attention: the digital inclusion of people with...
