One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Mr President. North Korea, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Eritrea, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan. These are just a few of the countries in the world where the massacres of Christians are taking place. In a way, our mother Europe seems to be deaf to persecuted Christians everywhere in the world. It is not unimportant that as many as 380 million Christians around the world today face various forms of discrimination and persecution because of their religion. In Nigeria alone, 41,000 Christians have been killed in recent years. Freedom of conscience and religion remains one of the fundamental values of the European Union and the least I expect from the European Commission is to finally appoint a special envoy to promote free religion outside the European Union, which has not been there since 2024.
