Mr Putin, you failed

Speech in the plenary debate on High Representative Josep Borrell’s visit to Russia

With an ounce of intelligence, he could have got the message brought to him by the mere fact that Josep Borrell has come for a visit. With an ounce of finesse, he could have understood that although we condemned, totally condemned, and said it loud and clear that we condemned the judicial harassment inflicted on Alexei Navalny and the arresting of the demonstrators who support him, at the same time we wanted to keep bridges open with Russia, especially when it comes to Iran.

Plenary speech in the debate on Hong Kong

As we debate political repression in Hong Kong this morning, we are talking about an ascendant power that mocks the “One Country, Two Systems” agreement, holds a million Uighurs in forced labour camps, threatens Taiwan, projects itself into the South China Sea and unashamedly claims that dictatorship is preferable to freedom.

Speech at the plenary session in the debate on Alexei Navalny

Let’s take a good look, let’s take a closer look because, in this Navalny case, there is not only, at the same time, an unbelievable denial of rights and of all the freedoms.

“Re-education camps”, the Chinese leaders say…

Speech at the plenary session on the forced labour and the situation of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang

“Re-education camps”, the Chinese leaders say…

Sure…

But to what exactly does forced labour re-educate more than a million Uyghurs locked up in these concentration camps?

Nagorno-Karabakh: The belligerents must be brought back to the negotiating table

Speech at the plenary session in the debate on the “Resumption of hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan in connection with the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh”

We hear Armenia, war, Nagorno-Karabakh, and we think of this genocide always denied by the state that perpetrated it.

Foreword

Dear Readers,

welcome to this site.

It is not simply the webpage of the Member of the European Parliament, who I have become with great apprehension. Not of the journalist either, who I have been for half a century.

It is a wild ambition: I wanted to give a report on my work as an elected representative in Brussels and in Strasbourg, to continue to follow the evolution of world politics and to try to describe and decipher the stakes and the mysteries behind the scenes of the European institutions.

I wanted to create a multilingual site, to step across the borders that sometimes still separate us.

“Smithing makes the smith”, I hope you will bear with me.

Yours,

Bernard Guetta
