Young researchers (B9-0491/2023)

Mr President, I voted in favour of this resolution for young researchers because, indeed, researchers in all Member States need some form of support. For example, in Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries, support for young doctoral students is clearly not enough for them to have a quality of life that allows them to develop and work scientifically. Not to mention the importance of this for…

Jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition of decisions and acceptance of authentic instruments in matters of parenthood and creation of a European Certificate of Parenthood (A9-0368/2023 - Maria-Manuel Leitão-Marques)

on behalf of the ALDE Group. - Mr President, I have strongly voted against this report. This is one of the most important documents adopted by this European Union. In it, in this report, which absolutely changes its meaning – it is called almost for the protection of the rights of persons who are adopting and adopted, it is in fact an undisguised propaganda of the so-called rainbow families, same-…

Non-objection mechanisms in international conventions to which the European Union is a party (debate)

Mr President, there are exactly six people in this House, which is a scandalous attitude to the debates, because it is not even afternoon. I'm tempted to ask you to check the quorum and close this meeting, which would straighten everyone's hair. So maybe it is right, because such an attitude to debates is offensive.

And it proves the text of the report and your behavior here in the room. Two-thirds of those defen…

If that is the case, dear lady, then you should consider and respect and take into account the opinion of the minority. Am I wrong or am I not wrong?…
