Government crackdown on protests and citizens in Cuba

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Communist military regime in Cuba closed July with 272 convicted political prisoners in just 20 days and between 2,000 and 8,000 detainees.

There is public evidence, confirmed by many detainees, that the torture su…

United States sanctions and the Rule of law (continuation of debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Today we are discussing a phenomenon that should be condemned probably for all those gathered in this room.

Media freedom and further deterioration of the Rule of law in Poland (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Civil aviation is in its worst crisis since the end of World War II. Therefore, all measures are necessary to rebuild the EU aviation sector. This is necessary due to the dramatic decrease in air traffic.

Hong Kong, notably the case of Apple Daily

Mr President, thank you very much. The closure of the Apple Daily, which has defended Hong Kong’s freedom and autonomy for the past 26 years, exposing itself not only to Beijing authorities but also to the Autonomy authorities and large corporations, politically oriented businessmen in China, is a symbolic exhaustion of Deng Xiaoping’s ‘one country, two systems’ formula from the 1980s. Today, unfo…

Visa Information System (VIS): visa processing - Visa Information System (VIS): conditions for accessing other EU information systems for VIS (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Visa Information System must be and is a response to the evolving challenges in the field of migration and security of the European Union, but trust must be one of the most important aspects of the cooperation between Member States under this system. My experience, as a former Minister of the Interior and Administration, shows that this is different. I have in mind …
