What Alessandro spoke about.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, what happens when you suffer a hate crime and the state does not recognize you? It happens that you suffer two traumas: the crime and indifference of the institutions. Tomorrow, in this House, we are voting on the Victims Directive, a historic European law – and I say this with pride, as rapporteur for the Socialists and Democrats Group – for the results achi

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, fundamental rights are the pillar of our Union and I am here today, as other Members have done, to denounce a serious fact: the double morality of the European People's Party: In words they defend rights but in fact they work to weaken them, empty them, choosing to ally with the extreme right. It happened in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs,

Madam President, thank you Commissioner. 'It was the darkest time of my life.' 'If conversion therapy had been banned, I would have suffered less trauma and perhaps I would not have tried to take my own life.' 'They told me I was sick.' These are the voices of people who have endured what are called conversion practices. Physical, sexual and verbal abuse, a form of torture, as recognised by the Un

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, rents denied to LGBTQI+ people: Too often we hear phrases like "We know what people like you do" or "We don't want problems" or "Room rented, but not to LGBTQI+ people", or job advertisements that explicitly exclude homosexual people and accommodation facilities that refuse to welcome same-sex couples, in addition to physical and verbal violence. So, this is not

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the attack on the journalist Sigfrido Ranucci - to whom the utmost solidarity goes - shows that there is a problem with press freedom in Italy, which is under attack. In 2025, threats to journalists increased by 76%, with increasingly violent attacks. No longer just intimidation, reckless lawsuits or spyware: We even have bombs now. President Mattarella mad

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, something extraordinary happened in Budapest. Hundreds of thousands of European citizens have defied the oppression of the Orbán regime by marching for Budapest Pride, which has been made illegal against our laws and the founding principles of Europe. I am proud to have been there, present among that tide of ordinary people who spontaneously and

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, I have heard the far right utter words full of hatred and contempt for the LGBTQI+ community. But I wonder: But what unhappy life do you have, colleagues, to feel all this hatred? It also takes a lot of energy to feel all this hatred towards people. Orban's ban on Budapest Pride is not just an attack on the LGBTQI+ community, but a wound to Europea

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner McGrath, thank you to the rapporteur, Ana Catarina Mendes, for your excellent work. Freedoms and the rule of law are under attack in Europe. A frontal attack, without shame, with a precise objective: stifling democracy, discriminating, undermining people's freedoms, destroying the very foundations of the Union. We are not only talking about Hunga

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, a parent in one Member State is a parent in all Member States. Ursula von der Leyen had promised it in 2020 and five years later it is still not so. You think that goods and capital can circulate in Europe, but rights cannot. And, above all, this to the detriment of the children of these families, of the youngest. A dramatic example is Italy, where the govern

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner McGrath, those who attack the Criminal Court are attacking international law and are complicit in the worst crimes against humanity, denying justice to the victims. Well the defense of President Ursula von der Leyen against the shameful attacks of Trump, but a strong position is needed with respect to what is happening inside the European Union,

Look, I don't know from what scientific research you draw this version of your facts. I'm gay. I didn't choose to be gay. My sexual orientation is not a choice: It is a human condition. And this must be respected precisely because sexual orientation, like gender identity, is not chosen. And so on this you are making propaganda, using children as a hook to discriminate against an entire community,

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on its 35th anniversary, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is an increasingly fundamental document, precisely because it recognises universal rights without distinction of origin, religion, sex or sexual orientation. In this regard, more and more often, as the recent report of the European Agency for Fundamental Rights reminded us, children and adoles

The Meloni government is persecuting rainbow families. A circular was issued by Minister Piantedosi prohibiting mayors from transcribing children born to same-sex couples. And this is violence that discriminates against children born to rainbow families compared to other children. On the GPA, which you vulgarly call "womb for rent", there is a solidarity, ethical and social GPA, where the woman, i

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we have heard from far-right MEPs that the LGBTQ+ community in Europe is under attack. I have heard from Giorgia Meloni's party some chilling things and I say that the European Commission cannot be in any way complicit with countries like Bulgaria and Hungary that have approved anti-LGBTQ+ laws; He cannot be an accomplice of the Meloni government, which is pe

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, on the day Viktor Orbán spoke in this House, it is our duty to reaffirm a founding principle of the Union: It is the precise task of this Parliament and the European Commission to monitor, guarantee and restore the integrity of the rule of law in the Member States where it is systematically violated. We must be clear and honest, colleagues. So it i

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, as I said before, precisely because these laws on foreign influences and against the LGBTQI+ community are very serious laws that undermine the fundamental values of democracy and violate the Georgian constitution itself, we must support the Georgian opposition and we must support the new generations so that their European dream is not broken. But we must, as

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first my colleague from SN made fun of the so-called united eco-left. I would say that they are the united fascist right because what happened in Georgia is a serious fact. A very serious law of discrimination of the LGBTQI+ community has been approved, which prohibits the registration of any alternative union to marriage, prohibits all medical interventions of

My colleague spoke of a situation in Gaza that does not correspond at all to the truth. I have been there with a delegation of parliamentarians and we have seen, where the trucks of humanitarian aid also from the European Union do not enter, food does not enter, the medical health unit does not enter, the first aid does not enter. And I must say that the dead are not only there for the bombings, b
