25/06/2026 | 18:09:35 Mister President, Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), I would first of all like to extend my warmest thanks to Ms Laura CASTEL for the quality of her report and the thorough work she has devoted to a subject that is both sensitive and crucial. This report reminds us of a reality that we can no longer ignore: violent pornography is not merely a question of morality or individual choice. It is a matter of human rights, gender... 24/06/2026 | 10:43:08 Madam Chair, Dear colleagues, I would first like to extend my warmest thanks to our rapporteur, Ms Yevheniia KRAVCHUK, for her excellent work on a subject that concerns not only gender equality, but also the very functioning of our democracies and societies, and the future of our young people. Even today, gender stereotypes remain ubiquitous in both traditional and digital media. They fuel discrimination, limit the opportunities available to women and hinder their full participation in public... 28/01/2026 | 11:36:19 Dear colleagues, I would like to express my full support for this report. It responds to a fundamental challenge for our democracies: enabling young people to participate in a real, lasting and structured way in public decision-making. Today, many young people still feel excluded from decision-making processes and under-represented by our institutions. The report rightly states that the future of our democracies depends on the full involvement of young people, no longer as participants who... 03/10/2025 | 11:38:50 Mister President, dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, This report rightly points out that freedom of movement is essential to the proper functioning and democratic integrity of our Assembly. It enables members to carry out their duties to the full, to take part in debates and to represent their fellow citizens effectively. Beyond its practical significance, freedom of movement is legally enshrined in the 1949 General Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Council of Europe and its... 02/10/2025 | 19:12:01 Dear Madam President Ladies and gentlemen, This report is a powerful reminder that access to adequate housing is a fundamental right, inseparable from human dignity and social cohesion. The report highlights three priorities: affordability, protection against unfair eviction and taking into account the needs of vulnerable people. These principles must guide the action of all our member states. Faced with strong pressure on the property market, the Andorran government, aware that access to... 02/10/2025 | 17:25:36 Mister President, Dear colleagues, I would like to express my full support for the report presented by Mrs Ingjerd Schie SCHOU, which highlights the fundamental role of political parties for the future of our democracies. Parties are one of the pillars of representative democracy. They give citizens a voice, structure public debate and contribute to opinion-forming. However, in several member states, their role has been undermined and they face new challenges. The first challenge is to... 01/10/2025 | 17:04:25 Thank you. The general debate is closed. The Committee on Culture, Science, Education and the Media has presented a draft resolution (Document 16239), to which two amendments have been tabled, and a draft recommendation (Document 16239), to which no amendments have been tabled. Ladies and gentlemen, I would remind you that the speaking time for each amendment is limited to 30 seconds. We shall begin by examining the draft resolution. I have been informed that the Vice-Chairman of the... 29/09/2025 | 17:18:56 Thank you for your contribution.

Those in favour of Sir Christopher CHOPE's objection will vote "YES". Those who support the proposal of the Committee on the Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights to reject the list in respect of Hungary will vote "NO". The vote is open. The vote is... 29/09/2025 | 16:46:48 The sitting is now open.
