25/06/2026 | 10:17:08 Thank you very much, Chair. We do need a wake-up call, but not the one that has been dominating the political and cultural discourse. It's the one that I experience every time I leave my multicultural neighbourhood. Because when I step out the door, I meet Moroccan women who teach our children in school. And I meet my neighbour who moved to the Netherlands from Türkiye 35 years ago and built the trains I now ride every day. And when I go to the doctor, my blood is drawn by a Polish doctor. I... 24/06/2026 | 19:41:06 Yes, the Chair would like to do it. First of all, to compliment both of the rapporteurs, because we have a historical moment in the Parliament today with the first report for information by the Moroccan delegation. And I'm very happy that it's our member of the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group Committee, Mr Allal AMRAOUI, who is very eloquent describing what happens in Morocco. And I think we should celebrate that we expanded our debate with Partners for Democracy. Then, Ms Larysa... 24/06/2026 | 17:00:57 Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Chair. As one of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) members, a few PACE members, I joined the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Election Observation Mission of the last presidential elections in Azerbaijan. And the rest of the PACE was refused or sent home because of how they voted here in this room. It was my first, and I will say that it probably prepared me for the rest of my life very well for... 23/06/2026 | 11:41:14 Thank you very much, Chair. I live in a community of normal working people, many from Turkish descent. And about approximately twice a year the Turkish flags are raised in my street. And I enjoy living in what we call Little Ankara or Little Gaziantep. The Turkish flags arise when we have a soccer championship, like now, and then we cheer or mourn which way it goes in the championship. And the other time is when there are elections in Türkiye. Many of my neighbours support President Recep... 29/01/2026 | 18:58:33 Yes, Chair, President, I would like to say something, not in the least to Paul, because you can hear, he was not only rapporteur on this report, but you also chaired the sub-committee for two years, and you totally internalised the importance of the Social Charter, and are well-equipped to explain why it's so important. The Committee has requested this debate to be able to organise an event. And that is important because it is 65 years since we have this Charter, that people have access to... 29/01/2026 | 11:50:05 Thank you very much, Chair. The video is 12 minutes long. This is how long the picture lasts in which a father walks among hundreds of black body bags, scattered across the streets in Tehran, searching for his child. He says: "Sepehr, where are you? Sepehr, where are you? You are my son. I cannot find you." This is a massacre. This is a crime against humanity. We have seen similar cruel images from Syria, from Kurdish crowds, Yazidi villages and from Occupied Palestinian territories. And I'm... 28/01/2026 | 18:24:51 Yes, please. I first of all want to thank Ms Carmen LEYTE for a wonderful, wonderful work, her commitment and to tackling this very difficult and sensitive issue. And as you heard, Chair today or Ms President today, my committee is a wonderful group of people. They really work for human rights and they really, all over the aisles, they think. This debate was not easy in the Committee. It was very sensitive. We had different perspectives. We decided to take time to find a solution and a common... 28/01/2026 | 17:46:09 Thank you very much. I am very happy with this debate and I'm very enthusiastic about the 'blue card', to be honest. Because finally, Mr Oleksii GONCHARENKO, we are debating things in a very honest way. And I'm very happy with that. Having said that, the people in Palestine are not safe. They are very unsafe. And we heard the words on the Holocaust, we heard the words that indifference is what makes a genocide succeed. Indifference is what makes an ethnic cleansing succeed. Indifference is... 28/01/2026 | 16:33:18 Yes, I think this is better. Thank you very much. No one will be free until everyone is free. We have all heard this cold echo to our streets this summer, voiced by people who refuse to remain silent in the face of the injustices inflicted on the Palestinian people. Today, I want to add one essential truth to that. There can be no freedom and no peace without justice. Whether we help to bring now peace to the region is therefore deeply rooted in our willingness to ensure justice and... 26/01/2026 | 16:17:08 Thank you, dear colleagues. After the devastation of the war, Europe made a clear choice. Never again should unchecked state power and violence against citizens be allowed to prevail. Safeguards we built – freedom of expression, human dignity, decent working conditions – they all only work if we uphold them. The Council of Europe, the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg are, like the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and the...
