The impact of the 1974 Turkish invasion on Cypriot women and girls, and the crimes committed by Turkish forces and consequences on gender equality (B10-0333/2026)

Madam President, we condemn the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus, the heinous crimes committed by the Turkish army against Cypriots, women and girls, the violent displacement, sexual abuse, rape, separation of families, trauma, stigmatisation and their incalculable long-term heavy consequences, devoid of even the slightest support. In addition to the self-evident compensation that the Tur…

Madam President, thousands have died in the heatwave in Europe.

At the same time, they are already budgeting hundreds of billions of war preparations, stifling even the most basic needs t…

Common system for the return of third-country nationals staying illegally in the Union (Return Regulation) (A10-0048/2026 - Malik Azmani)

Madam President, the Social Democrats and the other bourgeois parties, young and restored saviours, have sown illusions about the – now activated – migration and asylum pact, as they do about the non-existent rule of law of the European Union. The regulations of the Pact, which are also pillars of the new reactionary law in Greece of New Democracy, promote repression for new crimes, such as this –…

Madam President, two months have passed since the fire in the Middle East started by your allies the United States and Israel.
