The new European Bauhaus (debate)

EU-Russia relations, European security and Russia’s military threat against Ukraine (continuation of debate)

Strengthening Europe in the fight against cancer(debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. So much talent has been said and so much facts available about the fact that we can make a difference to so many people.

It is unacceptable that ordinary people have to put their lives to death because of our inability to make reasonable demands on th…
