Repression in Russia, in particular the cases of Vladimir Kara-Murza and Alexei Navalny

Madam President, I'm sorry. Vladimir Kara-Murza was sentenced to a draconian sentence of 25 years for calling Putin a criminal responsible for the war in the middle of Europe. In his speech before Putin's court, he said: “I was sure after two decades in Russian politics, after everything I had seen and experienced, that nothing could surprise me anymore. I must admit that I was wrong.’ And he goes…

Combating organised crime in the EU (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Organised crime is a serious threat to all citizens of the European Union. In one year alone, revenues from organised crime reached €139 billion. That's about 1% of the EU's GDP. Additional threats arose as a result of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. This assault represents a unique opportunity for organised crime. The war is conducive to huma…
