Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. It has been 14 months since Lukashenko rigged the elections.

State of the Union (debate)

Madam President, by the way, I think it’s super cool that two women are leading this debate today. Thank you very much. Keep fingers crossed! Pani Przewodnicząca!

Old continent growing older - possibilities and challenges related to ageing policy post 2020 (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Let's be honest, we are in a very bizarre situation where the author of her own report contests it, contests it only because she tried through the back door to introduce a report written under the dictates of the Vatican. A report in which a woman is reduced to the role of an object, to an incubator that is only supposed to give birth to children. A report in which seni…
