Mr President, imagine that as a young child you are kidnapped from your home to a faraway land. Only half your friends and family survive the trip. 50 years later, you return – only to once again be forced out of your home, this time with your own grandchildren. This is exactly what is happening to thousands of Crimean Tatars, because the easiest way to destroy a culture is to make them doubt thei…

I want to ask you – because you were among the people who actually worked on the file – do you think it has teeth right now? What does it need to do? And what would you do in the case that we are discussing right now? Is a fine going to solve democracy? Is simply putting a money fine retribution for what happened, or what should we actually do here?…

Mrs. Soşoacă, you may not have seen the hundreds of thousands of young people who were not represented in Romania.

Madam President, dear colleagues, how do we explain that a candidate with less than 7% in the polls, a few days before the elections, is suddenly discovered by millions of Romanians and ranks first in the results? Perhaps many will say that it is an enlightenment or an awakening to the truth, but the truth is different and the Recorder showed it. You can even build a fake politician profile, using…

For sophistic argument in a very patient way, I want to ask you one thing: does it matter when millions are pumped from somewhere that is not disclosed, that we do not know, that is potentially foreign interference of grave, grave impact?
