25/06/2026 | 11:45:29 Thank you, Madam President. Allow me to speak in Greek. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to give you figures that go back over the last eight years. 2.4 million children in the world were born as refugees, which means nearly 500 000 births of refugees per year. Now why are these children born as refugees? We have already heard this morning statements against refugee children. The FIFA World Cup is underway, and we see who is in the teams. The Geneva Conventions take up all... 24/06/2026 | 19:01:50 Ladies and gentlemen, Colleagues, Now, in Holodomor, Ukrainians and Greeks all knew what starvation meant under conditions of war. They were dying every day. Thousands and thousands of people died. And this indicates the horrific crime committed by the Soviet regime and by Nazis as well. The next wars will be for water, for food as well. At the same time, however, access or non-access to food and water, it's not only that it's used as a weapon of war, it also creates social imbalances... 22/04/2026 | 17:37:45 Thank you, Madam President. I will speak in Greek. Every day, refugees from the LGBTQI community are requesting asylum. They do this because they've had to leave their countries of origin. They're requesting asylum, so as not to be sent back home and be killed. We are a space of justice and freedom; we have a duty to act as a model when it comes to democracy. In Greece, the last time the death penalty was carried out was in 1972. Yesterday, we celebrated the seventh anniversary of the end of... 22/04/2026 | 11:38:37 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Allow me to start my speech with two proposals. I totally agree with Ms Catia POLIDORI. We have to act, not to talk. We need measures, not only reports. And we have to convince our countries to be more active in this terrible issue for humanity. The second proposal is that we need an observatory as the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a space about what happened for each country every day. The third proposal – in memory of the dead... 21/04/2026 | 17:56:33 Thank you, Madam President. Allow me to speak in Greek. Thank you. Someone said famously that we need Gods. We all need Gods and that our Gods know everything. Now, what many people do not know, is that everybody should have a right to freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is a very fundamental tenet of our democracies. And in our countries I think we have outstanding examples of coexistence between Jews, Christians, Muslims and atheists – let's not forget the atheists. Freedom of... 29/01/2026 | 19:28:13 Thank you, Madam President. Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, We welcome this report on behalf of the European People's Party and we congratulate the rapporteurs. However, what is very interesting here for the day after is the observations that have been made. And I'd like to start with what Mr Piero FASSINO has just said. The democracy of North Macedonia has signed a treaty, the Prespa Agreement, with a partner country, that is Greece. It is a member of the Council of Europe and the... 29/01/2026 | 16:58:40 Thank you. Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Dear former Commissioner Ms Helena DALLI, thank you once again for your inspirational speech. And I think we are very lucky here because we have teenagers that look to us because we are here. Not for us, we are here for them. And I think it is crucial that the report before us today aims to safeguard the freedom, dignity, personality and self-determination of individuals who are at risk at becoming victims of conversion practices... 28/01/2026 | 18:48:02 Thank you Mister President. I'll speak in Greek again. This is a very interesting report, which provides guidance. As member states, we really need to include education in all of our policies. How can we achieve this? Well, I think that the training of teachers is extremely important, in a society free from exclusion, if that's what we want to achieve. But today, we are seeing racism and anti-Semitism gaining ground. We really need teaching staff who will be, if you like, the second parents... 28/01/2026 | 18:18:17 Thank you, Madam President. After English, French and Spanish, I will speak in Greek. Thank you. First and foremost, allow me to congratulate our rapporteur. Ladies and gentlemen, What we have before us is a very important document. We're talking about a UN Convention, we're talking about a Recommendation, the recommendation made by the World Health Organization as well. Today, what they tell us is that really this subject matter, which we are addressing here today in the Chamber, is very... 27/01/2026 | 19:36:41 Thank you, Madam President. First of all, I would like to thank our colleagues for this report and also it was very interesting in the speeches of Mr Piero FASSINO and Mr George LOUCAIDES, because they started to talk about what happened for the future of Bosnia Herzegovina. And I think that we have to commit here to help Bosnia Herzegovina to the road to the rules of the Council of Europe, and of course, in the direction of the European Union. You know better than me, Bosnia and Herzegovina...
