 Τις κολλείες θα σημαίνουμε να πούμε το next item of our agenda. Θα σημαίνω να σας σημαίνω ότι η 11.30η παράδειγμα της οικονομικής οικονομικήςς του Ιστορ Άντριαν Τεμβάν, και με την κλείδη της σκοτής για την οικονομική, θα σημαίνει για 4 ώρα. Λοιπόν, θα σημαίνουμε τώρα να πούμε το κύριο Παβελ Αδάμωυτς, η κλείδη της οικονομικής οικονομικής, που είναι το τελευταίο της οικονομικής του οικονομικής του Ιστορ Άντριαν Τεμβάν. Αυτό είναι ένα σημαντικό και σημαντικό σχέσης που έχουμε been working on for a long time in the Committee of Regions, and which sees the light today, and for me, it is a great honor to chair this award ceremony. Distinguished guests, dear colleagues, I welcome all of you to this ceremony, which pays tribute to the late mayor Pavel Adamowicz. The award is the result of a collective effort, organized by the European Committee of Regions, the International Cities of Refuge Network, and of course the City of Dansk. Many other stakeholders from the European Commission, to the Congress of the Council of Europe, to the Association of Mayors of the United States of America have contributed to this first edition of the Adamowicz award. And I would like to thank all those involved for their support and their commitment. And I would also like to extend my warmest thanks to Ms. Adamowicz for joining us today and for her support throughout the organization of this award. Dear Magdalena, this award is not only a tribute to Pavel's commitment to his people, city, country, and our union. It is a permanent reminder for all of us to continue his work and to always stand together for our common values. This award is his heritage, which will be forever preserved by our institution, and of course in the entire European Union. It reaches out to the regionally and locally elected politicians within, but also beyond the European Union, showcasing our strong commitment to fighting racism, intolerance, hate speech, xenophobia, and discrimination. Dear colleagues, Pavel Adamowicz was a lifelong champion of solidarity, cooperation with civil society and fundamental rights. The diversity is a richness, not a problem he used to remind us. So our award commemorates his work, but also his dedication to democracy and to our shared European values. The Adamowicz Award is a continuous reminder that the protection and promotion of freedom, solidarity, and non-discrimination starts locally. This award defends fundamental rights at the local level, which sadly today are under threat in many regions and many cities of Europe. And that's why alongside this annual award, the European Committee of the Regions has put forward another initiative, supported both by the French Presidency and the Commission, to promote our common European democratic values through education on a voluntary, bottom-up basis, highlighting existing projects from all over our Union, always with respect of the principle of subsidiarity. And I would like to thank Vice President Yuroba for joining us today. As her presence reflects a shared understanding that together we must be the first on the frontline where to protect our Union, its principles, and its values. And of course, the promotion of Pavel's legacy is especially important in the context of the debate on the future of Europe. Dear distinguished guests, dear colleagues, I have the great honour and pleasure to announce the first winner of the Adamowicz Prize for 2021, Henriette Reker, the mayor of the city of Cologne. Over the past 20 years, Mayor Reker has been working with courage and dedication to promote equality, solidarity, and integration in her city. And she did that by granting refuge to those in need whilst fighting against intolerance. She enriched Cologne's identity and dignity. And in this regard, I would like to quote President Macron, where he referred to the legacy of Pavel Adamowicz during our committee's plenary last month. Mayor's are the matrix of everyday democracy, is what he said. So dear Mayor Reker, let me congratulate you for your strong commitment, your courage and tenacity to preserve, defend, and promote our fundamental values, which at the end are the foundation of our society.

It was one of the first postulates during the strike in August 1980. And Mr. President, as a young man, in the 1980s he was involved in the democratic opposition, later, in the 1990s, he built the foundation of the government, he built the foundation of the government believing in the power of education, in the mutual education, but also to interpret good patterns of those who know how to do some things better. But he also believed that our mission, the mission of the Danes, the mission of the Poles, was also to reduce the freedom and democracy of our fellow neighbors. He gave great love to Lithuans, Belarusians. I think that today it would be very dangerous for the fate of Ukraine, because he believed that according to the idea of Jericho Giedrojci, there is a common security, not only the Polish security of Belarus or Lithuania, but the common security of Europe. He was pleased with the introduction of the Polish Republic in 1999 to NATO in 2004 to the United States of Europe. But he did not believe in the power of education. Education itself was a person who did not believe in what had to be done, but also the education of children, young people, all citizens. He believed that this education and knowledge and mutual knowledge can change us for the better. That is why I am very happy that together with the Committee of Regions and the IKORN, the city of Gdańsk can be the patron of the award of Pawel Adamowicz. I am very happy that this is a lasting trace. A lasting trace that will be more lasting than the monument from Spirza. That is why Mrs. Burmisch-Henriette Reker is the person who proves that even the highest victim of health is worthy to be on the side of values. And finally, I believe that Mr. President Pawel Adamowicz would like to express his emotions, sadness, his death, so that we can move on to the consequent, everyday activities, activities that do good for the loved one, small deeds, gestures, smiles, good words, which, after a thousand times, repeat themselves, stick to the good, just on the good side. Henryette Reker, Burmisch-Colonia, the first laureate of the award of Pawel Adamowicz and his consequent, just on the good side, together with the inhabitants of Cologne, but also for us Europeans, proves that against the intolerance and hatred, it is just such a good action. Thank you very much. Mr. Mayor, I would like to give the floor now to Mr. Chris Gribble, the chair of the International Cities of Refuge Network ICORN. You have the floor. Thank you so much indeed. Thank you for welcoming to this event, dear presidents, honourable members of the European Parliament, honourable commissioners, Ms. Adamowicz and Mayor Reker gathered here today. It is my immense honour to be a part of this ceremony, to bestow the first Mayor Pawel Adamowicz award in partnership with the City of Gdansk and the Committee of the Regions and ICORN, the International Cities of Refuge Network. Our vision at the International Cities of Refuge Network is to improve the conditions for freedom of speech worldwide by enabling a global network of cities to provide safe havens for persecuted writers and artists working together to advance freedom of expression, defend democratic values and support international solidarity. It is no accident that cities together in a network form the locus of and motivation for ICORN's efforts. Salman Rushdie and Jacques Derrida were two of the founders of the ICORN movement and they located in the idea and the reality of the modern city, the very powers that Mayor Pawel Adamowicz himself championed so bravely in Gdansk. Derrida asked us if the name and identity of a city still has meaning, could it when dealing with the questions of hospitality and refuge, elevate itself above the nation states or at least free itself from them in order to be a free city. We have found time and again that our growing network of cities, there are 75 of us and growing, have answered this question affirmatively, working both with and sometimes against nation states to offer long term temporary shelter to those at risk as a direct consequence of their creative activities. The city of Gdansk joined ICORN at an official ceremony in 2017 and Mayor Adamowicz stated at that ceremony that Gdansk is a city of solidarity not only in ideas but above all in real activities echoing the words of the previous speaker of the Mayor of Gdansk. This is a message that holds true for all of the cities in our network large and small, European and non-European. Three very short stories of how cities play a role in achieving our mission. Gdansk itself followed in the footsteps of Krakow which is the first ICORN city in Poland which has supported six writers over the last 10 or 12 years stands proud as an LGBTQI friendly city in opposition to prevailing laws in other parts of the country. Pittsburgh in America, the United States started with one single place of shelter initiated by a group of city artists and activists led by Henry Rees and Diane Samuels and now the Pittsburgh City of Asylum organization has a whole street of houses for artists and their families and their city is a beacon on the global stage as a champion of freedom of expression and Paris joined our network in 2011 and when we held a three day event there in 2016 Mayor Anne Hidalgo at the Hotel de Vie recognised that throughout the 20th century in her words the city of Paris has been host to exiles from around the world for intellectuals and artists values of human rights and freedom of expression is at the core of the international strategy of our city being part of ICORN, hosting writers, journalists and artists at risk is a very concrete and an important symbolic fulfilment of our commitment I should also finally mention that in Scandinavia and Norway and Sweden in particular the ICORN city movement is so accepted and valued at the state and both countries now supports the cities funding our secretariat in Stavanger to deliver our mission at a time when it has never been more needed and it is a huge collective effort each of our cities in the network contributes in addition to approximately 50 to 70 thousand euros per annum to support the artist and their families staffing support, social support, creative networks supported starts at the top of the city and at the bottom of the city from the mayors and political leaders at one end supporting vital support and resources to the civic organisations and individuals and communities delivering daily care and support to the artists and the writers Mayor Damović exemplified the centrality of the role of political and personal leadership in his city and for this reason we are delighted that the first award in his name goes to the mayor of Cologne, Henrietta Reka Mayor Damović noted when he signed the Gdansk ICORN membership that the term freedom of culture is an idea we have believed in for many years in this connection I believe that the cooperation with the ICORN network and the granting of shelter to writers in Gdansk through that residents can have positive influence on shaping the development of culture in our city and we believe this too cities are shaped by their people and in turn shape new generations of their people Mayor Reka is doing this work in Cologne in the same way that Mayor Damović did in Gdansk and we hope that the ICORN network can offer many more cities in Europe the chance to enrich their civic, political and artistic lives by joining our network and ensuring that the stories of resistance and freedom our artists and writers bring with them are shared and preserved Thank you President, Vice President Mayor's and Mayor Damović and also to the Bielerusian Artist and Activist Legia Petrolka who provided the artwork for this award Thank you Thank you very much Mr. Mayor Damović, it is an honour to welcome you once more in our house The floor is now yours We cannot see you One moment please Can you see me? Can you see me? Mr. Mayor Mr. Mayor Mr. Mayor Mr. Mayor Mr. Mayor Mr. Comissar Mr. President Mr. Chair Mr. Chair Mr. ICORN Dear friends Congratulations Ms. BOURMIS στο πρώτο κομμάτι.

Thank you very much Mr. Damowicz, and on behalf of the European Committee of Regions and all of our members, I want you to know that we will never forget, Δεν ξεκινήσω το πρόβλημα του Μαϊνού Αδάμεμβουτσίου και του συμβουλίου του Θεού και της δημοκρατίας στην Ευρώπη. Παρακολουθήστε να παρακολουθείτε να παρακολουθείτε ένα βίντεο στο πρώτο Λόρεατ. Είμαι πρόβλημα να παρακολουθείτε για αυτό το σημερινό αδάμενό. Είμαι πρόβλημα να παρακολουθείτε όλοι εκεί να γνωρίζετε. Παρακολουθείτε never wars and never will be a solution. So let us all stand together for peace, for open dialogue. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And now I would like to give the floor to Mark Spijsch, the president of the award jury. Mark, the floor is yours. Dear Mr. President, dear Ms. Commissioner, dear Ms. Adamowicz, dear Alexander Dulkiewicz, dear Mr. Gribble and especially dear Ms. Reka, distinguished guests, members of the European Committee of the Regions, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for inviting me to join you on this important day in the promotion of freedom and tolerance in Europe and beyond. I have to say that it was a great privilege to chair the jury for the first edition of the Mayor Pavel Adamowicz Award. I would first of all like to thank my fellow members of the award jury and the Evaluation Committee plus the award secretariat and the staff at the Committee of the Regions, the City of Kedansk and ICON for all their hard work in making this award possible. We received a wide range of nominations for individuals and organizations, each of whom displayed courage and commitment to their causes and keeping with the values that Pavel Adamowicz demonstrated whilst a mayor of Kedansk. I would like to congratulate all those who were nominated for the award and thank everyone who took the time to submit the nominations. However, as always, there can only be one award laureate and I'm very delighted that this year the jury decided to give the award to Henrietta Reka, the Lord Mayor of Cologne in Germany and I have to say in my region, North Rhine-Westphalia. Lord Mayor Reka was chosen for her extraordinary dedication and work in promoting tolerance, inclusiveness, integration and non-discrimination of citizens with a migrant background in her city. And for fighting hate speech and xenophobia through the various policies and practices that she has implemented with Lord Mayor which have won her admiration and support in Germany and beyond. Cologne is the biggest city of my home region, North Rhine-Westphalia. It's a truly European city with a long history of welcoming people from around the world. It has a population of around one million people, over 400,000 of whom come from a migrant background, with 184 nations represented amongst its inhabitants. As the first female Lord Mayor of the city, the challenges Ms. Reka faced in promoting greater integration and tolerance were enormous, as her efforts stirred deep-rooted xenophobia amongst a very small but very vocal minority. Indeed, was campaigning to be Lord Mayor, she was brutally attacked by a xenophobic extremist and was very lucky to survive after spending a long period in intensive care. The fact that as the Lord Mayor she kept cursing these policies after the near fatal assault, opposing the politics of hate with concrete measures, defending and safeguarding diversity, solidarity and integration as integral components of Cologne's identity is testament to her character and her determination. The number of policies and programs developed under Lord Mayor Reka's leadership is impressive and provided the tools to develop strong social cohesion amongst its diverse population. These activities included setting up an office for the prevention and reduction of intolerance, discrimination and exclusion and establishing another office for integration and diversity in relation to vulnerable people, people with disabilities, the LGBTIQ plus community and migrants. She also oversaw the creation of programs and projects around the accommodation of migrants and refugees and supported the activities of NGOs monitoring and fighting against racism and discrimination and supporting affected communities. And she also put in place policies to tackle inequalities in education and promote tolerance and intercultural understanding. These policies have directly benefited all citizens of Cologne and especially the 6,000 refugees the city hosts. As the first female Lord Mayor of the city of Cologne and a proud representative and proponent of the integration of its citizens, no matter of the origin, culture or religion, Henrietta Reka has consistently displayed and put into practice the values and tenacity that are completely in line with those of Pavel Adamovich. We are proud to have her as the first recipient of the Mayor Pavel Adamovich Award in recognition of her personal and political commitment, her courage and determination to preserve, defend and promote the awards and Europe's fundamental values. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mark. Mayor Recker, congratulations for your awards, for this award today. It is an honor to welcome you to our house and I give you the floor. Yes, very honored vice-commission president in Vera Yorovar, very honored Mrs. Adamovich, very honored president of the international network of the city of the future, lieber Chris Gribble, sehr geehrter Herr Präsident des Ausschusses der Religionen Apostolos Zikus, das sehr geehrte Jury-Vorsitzende, Mark Speich, vereerte Kolleginnen, liebe Oberbürgermeisterin Dulkiewicz, meine sehr verehrten Damen und Herren, liebe Jury. The courage to stand for your own values, even if there is resistance. The courage to express the solidarity to minorities, to deal with exclusion and hate, and to look for the dialogue with those who have closed themselves, instead of opening themselves in many ways. This courage was owned by Pavel Adamovich. It made me very impressed when I learned of Pavel Adamovich's death. I have thought a lot about his city and all the things that this man meant, especially about his family and his way of life. They had, until today, my deep experience with feelings. And even when I was with my first thought about the relatives, that was the kind of fact that made me deeper into the background. It is sustainable that when a world lives in which to stand for the society, for diversity and pluralistic societies, to threaten life, I have to say it so clearly that it can lead to deadly consequences. There was a time when, in a different way or Jewish origin, Germany could mean the loss of its own life. There were times everywhere in the world in which the belonging to an ethnic group had decided about their own fate. But that we still live in a time in which both the hate and the foreign enmity are so strong that they demand the death sacrifice. To see this, all those who stand for pluralism, every time, have a lot of power. Also a bit of hope. And the courage should be taken from us. You can and could never end violence with violence. The resistance can and must not happen so that we, from families, relatives, friends and societies, demand our answer to such medieval violence. To the public direction of a prominent and committed perpetrator of the diversity. It can only be said that we will not hate, we will not hate. We will not be protected, protected by such threats. We take them for granted to ambition us even more for the survival of multicultural and diverse peace in Europe. From personal experience, my dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I must say that this concerns me very much, that Pavel Adamowich had no chance against me to fight for his life and after the attack with even greater energy to achieve his values and convictions. Δεν μπορώ να πιστεύω ότι είμαι πίστευτης, ότι πολλοί από όλοι εδώ, αλλά και από όλοι οι άνθρωποι και οι άνθρωποι και οι άνθρωποι, που διεθνούν την αρμή από Παβελταδάμου Βιτσού, που για τον ένιωσαν τον πρόσφυγό, το οποίο είχε σκέψει από το πρόσφυγό. Είναι όλος μας όλους, τον Ευρώπης, είχε σκέψει το πρόσφυγό της κοινότητας, αλλά και από όλες τις διεθνές της κοινότητας. Οι κοινότητας στην όλη η κοινότητα είναι, η οποία είχε σκέψει από ένα πρόσφυγό της κοινότητας. Και σκέψω ευχαριστώ σήμερα για αυτή η εξοδοσύνηση, με αυτήν την σημαντική εξοδοσύνηση. Είμαι εξοδοσύνησης για όλοι οι κυρνότητας και οι κυρνότητας, που εξοδοσύνησαν σε όλη η κοινότητα, όλη η κοινότητα και η συγκρίνηση. Είμαστε δεν μιλίμετα σκέψεις, γιατί η ιάγχωση, πηγαίνει στην περιοδομεία του δημοσιοτηθτήου, μετα sei δέστι θ κινώνα, και τα σαγεύματα και την ιάγχωση, οι τελειοδοσύνησαν σε όλη η κοινότητα. Από τη δημοσιαγή της κοινότητας, την παραδοξία πάνω στους ώρους της κυρνότητας, και την φαρμοσιαγή της Ευρώπης, και την κοινότητα της Μιλή και της ΑΑ, και την συγκρίνηση στη κοινότητα της κυρνότητας, Ευχαριστούμε! Τώρα, θα ήθελα να δημιουργήσω τη δημιουργία για τους συμφωνές μας. Και θα ξεκινήσω με τον κ. Γιμιλεύιτζ, από την ΕΠΠΑ, ή και ότι έχετε τη δημιουργία. Μης Δρενιάνιν, από την ΕΠΠΑ, ευχαριστούμε! Ευχαριστούμε! Και καλώς όλοι οι συμφωνές και οι συμφωνές. Σήμερα είναι ένα σημαντικό μέρος στην Ευρωπαϊκή Δημιουργία. Απέχεια με την ΕΠΚΑ, μεταφέρσιμε αυτή η δημιουργία στην ΕΠΑ, και μεταφέρξουμε τις προστασίες που έχουν κομμάσει, their freedom, their security, and sometimes lives, so that we all can live in a Europe that stands for Human Rights, Democracy, Freedom and Equality. Υπάρχουν φορσές που θέλουν να διαδομιούν our democratic strong Europe values. δημιουργούντας, εντημιουργούντας και δημιουργούντας are elected representatives and even their families. Αυτές οι αρχαίες έχουν καταφέρει στους αρχαίες, αρχαίες, αρχαίες και αρχαίες που εμφανίζονται more violently and physically as in Mr. Damowicz's case. Αυτό που χρειαστεί με τη ζωή του και η οικογένειο της οικονομικής οικονομικής και they have to live with this internal pain. Αυτό ήταν ένας στις δημόκρατος, δημόκρατος, δημόκρατος που ζήθηκε από τις δημόκρατες, as mentioned here today, solidarity, democracy, fundamental rights and inclusions. Αυτό το σαν δημόκρατος είναι νιώθος και δημόκρατος είναι ο γιαπλής ε couleο του στη δημή μας στος δημόκρατος αρχαίες. Υπάρχει μια οικονομική του κατά όλοι οι λαγές της δημόκρατης για να υπομονάλεις και να δι χρειαστείμε τις βησί και της πιντρικής. και είναι η δικαίωση που έχει been put forward in the jury and also that have jointly come to our first appointment of this honorable award. I would like to thank everyone who supported the development of this award, supports it in the future and also contributed to the work. I would like to thank everyone who supported this award in the future and also contributed to the work. I would also like to congratulate and express a great gratitude to Miss Henriette Riker, the mayor of Cologne, who is a bearer of the values that Mr. Adamowicz and we all stand for and he defended to his last breath. So thank you and congratulations from all of us, Miss Riker. Thank you. Thank you, Galena. I think Mr. Geblewicz now is available. Dear commissioner, dear Magdalena, dear mayor, it is really great honor for me as a president of the EPP group to which Pavel belongs and his friend to participate in the award ceremony and see that his legacy is alive, that we continue promoting his work by nominating today the first laureate of the Pavel Adamowicz Award, mayor of Cologne Henriette Riker. The Pavel's courage and determination to fight intolerance, radicalization and hate speech as well as perseverance and dedication to promote democracy, solidarity, freedom, equal opportunities and fundamental rights are the examples for all of us to follow. Dear Henriette, we've just heard what concrete projects you run in your city, your extraordinary work in Cologne, your courage and your excellence in promoting the values for which Pavel died, such as freedom, solidarity, diversity or equality are also for us the examples to follow. Today's award recognizes the dedication to those who are the most vulnerable and in need and your determination to create an open, inclusive and peaceful society. Congratulations on winning the award. I wish you all the best in the future and the worst. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Mr. Ruyant from the PES Group, please. Thank you very much. Mr. President, dear colleagues, under the name of the Socialist Group of the European Committee of the Regions, I would like to first congratulate with a lot of emotion Henriette Riker, mayor of Cologne, for having won the award to Adamowicz. She is the victim of an attempt at the knife in her city for her positions in favor of the integration of migrants. Allow me also to congratulate the European Committee of the Regions which gives homage to the courage and sacrifice of our colleague Pavel Adamowicz. We always remember the need to be vigilant against racism, xenophobia and any form of intolerance and discrimination. This award is also the recognition of many of our territorial collectivities that lead through Europe to a global integration project. With the same courage, let's quote for example the Alliance of the Seif-Herbors who is a network of cities and municipalities taking a fair distribution of refugees and migrants in the European Union. 33 European cities are engaged in favor of humanitarian values and volunteer welcome of refugees. This is a good example of what should involve the European integration project. But there, defense and the promotion of freedom, of solidarity, of equality and non-discrimination should not be just a question of courage. In the European Union, where humanism and the state of law are in the founding treaties, it is simply unacceptable that the risks will lose their lives by defending our founding values. As local and regional elected people, we are often confronted with such a situation of physical aggression. We need clear rules at the European level to fight against the spread of hatred and misinformation that constitutes both extremely pernicious forms of violence. The radical contestation of measures related to the vaccination against COVID-19 has, recently, caused by extremists and combatants around the discourse of violence and hatred. At the moment, there is no European legal basis allowing penal infractions, discourses and crimes of hatred. This is why we hope that the Council of Ministers of the European Union will quickly approve the proposal of the European Commission aimed at extending the list of crimes of the European Union related to discourses and crimes of hatred. The discourses and crimes of hatred fill all the criteria established by Article 83 of the treaty and weaken our democracies. We need, in urgent need, to have a minimum common rule on how to define penal infractions and applicable sanctions in all the member countries of the Union. Finally, last consideration. A training in education, as said Madame Adamović, a training in education in the media and digital, which is a work of sensitization, can make citizens more resilient to misinformation. As the territorial leader, as the mayor and president of the region, we must ensure that this training is at the doorstep of all to counter the polarization of debates and hate. We know that our colleague, mayor of Colognes, is challenging himself every day in his city. This price, Madame Adamović, makes sense in the daily challenges by our colleague Henriette Recker, mayor of Colognes. Madame Adamović's price will always remain in our memory. Let's make this price the starting point of a more tolerant, more solid Europe. Thank you for your attention. Thank you, Mrs Feeney from the Renew You Europe Group, please. Thank you, President, and I too would like to welcome all of our distinguished guests, particularly Magdalena Adamović. On days like this, we are all reminded of the fragility of human life, and it's hard to find words that truly convey how vulnerable we all feel, but also how that vulnerability pushes us to strive for better. I would like to quote Pavle Adamović today in saying, responsible patriotism is to look for what is common, what unites and does not divide, reconciliation, not revenge. That is why in public life, we call for priority of law, not strength, trust, not hostility, truth, not lies. These words in their simplicity should serve as a mantra to all of us. Those of us who are fortunate enough to hold positions of power and influence have an obligation to not only respect, but also to represent all of our citizens, most importantly, those who are in minorities and those who are marginalized. Pavle Adamović embodied this sentiment, particularly in his work on LGBT rights. He recognized that his Christian values were compatible with the values of the LGBT movement, and that, in fact, his Christian values of love and tolerance could empower his support for the movement. His legacy will live on through the lives that he reached and changed, and through this award, his name will forever be associated with those values of inclusivity, tolerance, and respect. In an increasingly polarized world, it is not always easy to stand up for those who have no voice. Unfortunately, as Mayor Recker has mentioned, standing up carries a risk. And so it is important that when people do stand up, that we recognize their bravery and we celebrate them. The award to Henrietta Recker today is not only our way of recognizing her commitment against great risk to the values held so dear by Pavle Adamović, but it is also our way of showing that we stand with her. We often speak in this chamber of the change that can be achieved at local level. Henrietta Recker's work to break down barriers on integration and non-discrimination of migrants, and in fighting hate speech and xenophobia, serve as a beacon of what that change can look like. Congratulations, Mayor Recker, on this award which you truly deserve. Thank you. Thank you very much. Mr. Ortil from the ECR, please. My dearest holy lady, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen… Hello to everyone in the ECR group! Three years ago, we all participated withト Οι συγχρονοί συνεργογραφείς μας και ο κληροτηριστικός κρινοδός και ο αρμίνιος των Αρμίνοι είναι αυτή η ιδέα ότι θα εξορρήσουμε. Η ιδέα η όμως έχει συγχρονές για τον γεωρεκτικό σαν ναθόμα το πιο σκοίνδυνο και σε κινήσεις που μαστείλαμε, και έτσι είναιdoor右ωστος κόσμων, εκκληρονές, που θέλουν να της εξορθ встрέσουμε. τόπος στιγμούν ανάγκοσης της των Γραμμινών ναroykkοσης της Ευρώπης Ευρώπης την Ανάγκοση. Είμαι πραγματικός και队σο Bund τότε στους Ευρώπουςös και Ευρώπης, ότι τον κειροκρόβειρε κόσμους. Ευχαριστώ για την ευρώπη Έλα. Παύνας Παύνας Παύνας, πανηνικορνηφότη. Παύνας Παύνας, πρώτα από ειε-γουπ.

Δημοκρατικά,είς φορά πουhyungι πάρα δυσκολογική. είναι πιο στους δεδοστασίες, είναι πιο στους μπροστάς, η δημοκρατία είναι κάτι που αφήσει σε την κόσμο. Δημοκρατία γίνει αν ανίνχει καταγράφει. Και στη στιγμή, οι κάσεις δεν αφήνουν από δημοκρατικές προοδευτείες, οι κάσεις και τις δημοκρατές. Ενώ η συγκυπορία της Αναγρίας Αναγρίας, από την πρώτη κ. Ανάμπευα Βητσίου, μεγάλει πολλές δημοκρατικές. Η κ. Ραικα gauche δημοκρατίας, που είναι ανοιχτές για τα δημιουργία δημιουργίας. Αν όχι, η Μερια Αναβευτή, η Μερια Ραϊκή, έχει αφήσει τη δημιουργία για να κάνει.

Αυτό το αυξηθεί, αλλά δεν το αυξηθεί. Παράrade και κοινούς πολιτικές, υπάρχουν πιο πορκία που χρειαζόν να respectively κόμμα από να εξουλωσθεί σε δημιουργία. Η δημιουργία που κάνουν, or carry out, έχει απομπαθάωση στην δημιουργία δημιουργômου. Είναι βρήκος από το πρόεδρο της Στορρήμ Παντρα. Δημιουργεί, όπως γνώρισαν πολλές χώρες και ελληνικές.

Είμαι πολύ πληροδεύτερο να είμαι one of the leaders of my own city of Cork's twin cities, είναι ανοιχημένη. With so many pressures on our freedoms, it takes leaders like Mayor Reicher to navigate the obstacles thrown in the course of society. And this award does send out a signal that it's okay to defend and champion democratic values, and ultimately this award will inspire other leaders to step up, whether that be in political or in civil society. και χρειαζόμαστε περισσότερες άνθρωποι για να παίρνουμε την δημοκρατική ιστορία. Χρειαζόμαστε χρειαζόμαστε δημοκρατικά λιμβότητα για να μπορούν να συμβείτες στις λιμβότητες στην δημοκρατική λαμσκή. Ευχαριστώ, κύριε, Ρατή Λέννη, από το Ευρώπι.
