19/04/2024 | 11:06:55 Thank you, President. At the close of this plenary session and before we return to our hemicycles, I think it is only right that we are raising the issue of the protection of children against online violence. They are, after all, our future citizens, who will in turn be founding their families. So it is very right that we are speaking out on this subject. Mr Francesco VERDUCCI talked about poverty, and I think rightly so, because poverty is the beginning when talking about a phenomenon such... 17/04/2024 | 18:12:22 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, The right to freedom of speech, expression and assembly are fundamental freedoms that every individual possesses by virtue of his existence, without discrimination based on any ground including sexual orientation, gender identity and gender characteristics. The social coherence and collective well-being do not depend only on the standard of living of the people but mainly on the respect for the rights of minorities. Respect for these rights... 16/04/2024 | 20:09:10 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur for her excellent job in this difficult and delicate issue. To my opinion, it is very important for Kosovo to bridge the gap between the law and its implementation. Moreover, it is equally important to ensure that every person under Kosovo’s jurisdiction could have the right to access the European Court of Human Rights. Pristina has a lot to do in order to consolidate democracy and... 26/01/2024 | 11:08:36 Thank you, Mister President. I would like to congratulate Mr Pierre-Alain FRIDEZ, because his report shows that for many years, in many countries in Europe it was hidden. It was hidden, but with the tacit approval of governments as well. After the war, we had the social state that was created. Many children were institutionalised without providing any support to these children. Why didn't we support these children? We didn't support these children because as countries, we decided to hand over... 23/01/2024 | 17:51:28 [initial words are not picked up by interpreter] ... we will commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz. And what happened there? Nazis killed people because they were homosexual, or because they were Roma people. The same thing happened. Hamas killed people because they were Jewish. In a paradox of history, we are talking about people who believed in democracy and believed in freedom. Hamas is not a revolutionary organisation. It is a terrorist organisation. Mr Reinhold LOPATKA was right, the... 13/10/2023 | 11:47:32 Thank you, Madam President. I am delighted to take the floor for the very first time in the Parliamentary Assembly and to talk to you about mental health and addictive behaviours. I'd like first of all to state that I really feel for the young people in Nagorno-Karabakh and in Ukraine. I express my full solidarity with them. I think we should really think about their mental health and well-being. We should no longer stigmatise mental issues. We need to find policies and services that members...
