23/04/2026 | 17:43:45 Let me also thank my colleague Mr Mogens JENSEN for this work. Mr President, We know how devastating the impact of artificial intelligence can be for creative arts workers in the absence of rules. We have an obligation to prevent Big Tech from disposing of other people's labour in order to accumulate capital that only remains in private hands. I am thinking first of all of the imbalance that exists between the weakness of those who produce content and the overwhelming power of the platforms... 21/04/2026 | 19:18:21 Thank you Mister President. As you said, and for the sake of greater understanding of colleagues, we only approved part of the amendment by Ms Mariia MEZENTSEVA-FEDORENKO and Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO, who I thank, citing Resolution 2540 to which they refer, and citing the issue precisely of the use of hybrid war propaganda, and expunging the final part of the amendment due to the fact that we have already included references to Ukraine and Russian oppression regarding religious discrimination... 21/04/2026 | 19:08:12 Thank you President. First of all I want to thank all my colleagues. It has truly been a debate of great richness, of great depth, and I think it is a full part of this resolution of ours and also an incentive to keep this issue alive in our work, given its urgency and importance. I will not be able to quote everyone, I will mention three colleagues representing such a complex debate. The first quotation I want to make goes to my colleague Ms Meryem GÖKA. She said at one point: "it is not... 21/04/2026 | 17:32:49 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear colleagues, everyone should have the right to believe or not to believe and to live free and equal in the fullness of their being. Yet this is not the case for many people today, even in our countries of the Council of Europe. And this is a major political issue, which concerns our democracies. Among the causes of religious intolerance, the main one is war. Our time, again, is marked by traumatic events. In February 2022, Russia's criminal aggression against... 02/10/2025 | 11:46:46 President, tonight the Sumud flotilla, heading to Gaza to bring food and to draw the world's attention to the humanitarian catastrophe taking place in the inaction of governments, was attacked by the Israeli army: an illegal aggression in international. The activists, including young Jews and some of our parliamentary colleagues, did not resist and were arrested. President, this House must condemn what is happening. The flotilla is a humanitarian, non-violent mission, in full compliance with... 26/06/2025 | 16:05:18 When women's rights advance, it is all of society that advances; when they regress, we all collectively regress. Women's empowerment is a disruptive and revolutionary force for change: it is a profound cultural transformation of a society's mentality, its way of being, and that is why it is so important and incisive. That is why it is capable of dismantling prejudices and stereotypes that are a legacy of feudal male domination, which has never been completely defeated, and which today, in the... 26/06/2025 | 10:45:28 President, these are the horrific images of lifeless bodies floating in the waters off Libya, with no one, and not the Libyan militias we fund, having recovered them. More than 500 people have died in the Mediterranean since the beginning of the year. Since 2014, that's more than 31 000. So many are girls and boys. Humanity has died countless times in European waters. I think, every time, we say the word "migrant", as if it were the same as any other when it is not. We have a duty to be aware... 25/06/2025 | 18:38:01 President, I want to thank Mr Alain FRIDEZ for his work. This report addresses a neuralgic point in any society, namely the dynamic between mobilisation, social protest, institutional power, and law enforcement. While authoritarian regimes suppress critical voices, the heart of a democracy is participation and conflict in peaceful and nonviolent forms. We have a duty not only to protect this freedom but to encourage it. Instead, many democracies today are being distorted by a creeping... 10/04/2025 | 18:31:50 Thank you, President. President, colleagues, First of all, I want to thank Speaker Antonio GUTIÉRREZ LIMONES, for wanting this resolution. And I want to thank the President of the Mexican Senate Mr Gerardo FERNÁNDEZ NOROÑA, for sealing with his presence and with important words this act, which has first of all, from my point of view, a political value. And that is what I want to emphasise here. There is a very close connection between the crisis of democracy and the crisis of multilateralism... 08/04/2025 | 11:05:18 Thank you, President. Colleagues, The first case was Brexit and we still carry the wounds of that, and since then, in every geopolitically important election, there is attempted interference by non-democratic foreign powers against the free vote of democracies. It is part of the offensive of autocratic regimes against democracies. The means are those of disinformation, manipulation, and the prevention of fact-checking to build public opinion. Part, all of this, of a hybrid war waged on the...
