30/09/2021 | 17:15:14 The Committee voted against this amendment and I want to ask all of you to vote against this amendment because it proposes much weaker text. What does it mean to follow the human rights situation? We are following for more than one year, where are the results? No results. We need to make some permanent body. And, there, I just want to remind you that yesterday I asked about this Mr Péter Szijjártó who is presiding in the Council of Ministers, and he also supported this. Before, Mr Maas... 30/09/2021 | 16:50:27 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, We are discussing an extremely important issue. What we see isa weaponizing of people, weaponizing of migrants. What can be worse in human life? Can you just tell me what crime could be worse than this? I just want to stress your attention on the speech of Mr Aleksandr BASHKIN from the Russian Federation. It was a clear confession that Lukashenko is not alone in what he is doing, because Mr Aleksandr BASHKIN said all the myths from Lukashenko. They... 30/09/2021 | 10:21:02 Thank you, Madam Chair, dear colleagues. We need to all thank the rapporteurs very much for their great work. It is really, extremely important. Ukraine was also not far from this situation. We took part in it. We evacuated almost 1 000 people from Afghanistan. Our special service people, servicemen, Ukrainian military man helped to take people from the most dangerous places in Kabul and to make them safe. It's our common responsibility to help these people today. What should the lesson be... 29/09/2021 | 17:32:25 Dear colleagues, Today we're speaking about an extremely important issue - it's climate, its the environment, it's about the future. One of the most important things is global warming and the greenhouse gas emissions which are responsible for this. I want to stress our attention on one topic; methane emissions. Methane is much more powerful in trapping heat than carbon dioxide. It has more than 80 times more of a global warming effect than carbon dioxide. If we're speaking about the human... 28/09/2021 | 16:37:14 Thank you, Chairman. Mr Minister, we have an awful situation in Belarus. From August of last year the dictator Mr Alexander Lukashenko first falsified the presidential elections. Then, using Russian support, and with the support of Putin, he used brutal force against his own people; killing dozens of them. Thousands were put in detention and tortured. After this, we have had crisis after crisis. We remember the situation with the kidnapping of the Ryanair plane in the skies of Belarus. Now... 22/04/2021 | 11:33:14 Yes. There were two amendments that I prepared and as a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, I gave them to the Committee and they were supported. The first one: the report started with the words that Mr Alexei Navalny went to Germany for rehabilitation after serious illness. Sorry, but we all know that it was poisoning. I want to thank the rapporteur who supported it and now we have the alleged poisoning in the text. That is very important. But if we have poisoning... 22/04/2021 | 10:49:15 In the Navalny case everything is absolutely clear. They tried to poison him, this was done at Putin's order by FSB agents. And when he miraculously survived and returned from medical treatment in Germany, he was arrested, he was thrown into prison and that was a spit in the face of the European Court of Human Rights. Now we are here for the European Court of Human Rights to be able to work, to have judgements that are truly executed. I mean, what are we to do when a country spits in the... 21/04/2021 | 13:08:57 Thank you. It is also important because in addressing to European Union we already have in recommendation the point that all cooperation with Belarus authorities should be conditional on stopping political repression and making political prisoners free. But in the point about member states we, for the moment, don't have it. So I think we need to put it and to make all cooperations with Belarus authorities, all cooperations, political, economical, financial conditional to what is happening... 21/04/2021 | 13:01:08 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, This is a very important amendment. I raised this issue in January during the address by Mr Heiko Maas, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, to our Assembly. That we need such permanent body that will look after human rights situation in, first of all human rights situation, in Belarus. He, in his answer, supported it. After this I spoke with Madam Secretary General Marija PEJČINOVIĆ-BURIĆ. She also supported it. I hope that after adoption of... 21/04/2021 | 11:47:24 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, First of all, I would like to thank the rapporteurs for their brilliant work. There really are two brilliant reports and today we can really adopt powerful, mightful resolution. What is going on in Belarus now? We have a usurper and dictator, Lukashenko, which is killing his own people. Over more than 30,000 people were put in jail. Hundreds of political prisoners just now, right now. Belarus is like a concentration camp inside Europe. What he is...
