Madam President, gentlemen of the far right, the integral sexual right in integral sexual education is a right of all boys and girls, regardless of what their parents say, regardless of the families of which they are part.

The case of Bülent Mumay in Türkiye

Madam President, Turkey's authoritarian government is becoming more dangerous every day. The case of Bülent Mumay, sentenced in May 2023 to 20 months in prison for telling what the government did not want him to tell, is just one more case, one of many, and a very serious case showing that freedom of the press and the right to information are increasingly persecuted. But, unfortunately, this is on…

2024 Annual Rule of law report (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, you speak in your report on the rule of law in the European Union about the declassification of official secrets. And these days in my country everyone talks about some audios that have leaked some conversations of the nineties between the king emeritus and an examante, Barbara Rey.

Strengthening the security of Europe’s external borders: need for a comprehensive approach and enhanced Frontex support (debate)

Madam President, a few days ago, images were published in my country in which Libyan coastguards were seen shooting at a boat of migrants trying to reach the island of Lampedusa. It was recorded by a human rights organization (Sea-Watch). And those Libyans carry European equipment through Frontex, with our money. These images are not isolated facts.

The deteriorating situation of women in Afghanistan due to the recent adoption of the law on the “Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice”

Mr President, the first thing I want to do is address the Afghan women who have come to this Parliament to be heard: Thank you for your voice, thank you for your courage, thank you for your struggle, we are with you. Afghanistan has become the most dangerous country for women worldwide. Women cannot go out into the street if they are not accompanied by a man, their voices cannot be heard, they hav…

Outcome of G20 ministerial meeting in Rio-de-Janeiro and fighting inequality (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, the European Union will participate in the next G20 summit and will talk a lot about cooperation, development, equality... But, let's be honest, either there is a change of direction of the project of the elites worldwide or it is doomed to failure, because the world does not work. We are talking about the fact that the richest 1% receive and accumulate 63% of the wo…

Persistent problems of anti-Semitism in Europe and of other forms of hate speech and hate crimes (debate)

Mr President, it is a profound hypocrisy for the right wing to bring a debate here today on anti-Semitism, because they are actually doing so in a campaign to support Israel, the genocidal state of Israel. Enough of trying to equate anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Under this pretext, Europe and the United States continue to fund an ethnic cleansing that has already killed 41,000 people. Under that…
