Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Any form of violence is a crime. Whether it's physical violence, whether it's psychological violence, whether it's sexual abuse, whether it's economic violence, or the violence we experience most often, cyber violence.

Madam President, I'm sorry. I do not share the satisfaction of the Commissioner, who said that he was pleased with today's debate.

Global threats to abortion rights: the possible overturn of abortion rights in the US by the Supreme Court (debate)
