Astonishing unanimity. I feel deeply uncomfortable being on the same side as, for example, the ECR group (Polish Law and justice, Spanish Vox, Brothers of Italy... no longer the UK Conservatives, sadly) or Identity and Democracy (French RN, Vlaams Belang, AFD etc)

I listened to all the political groups. Manon Aubry for GUE/NGL was the nearest thing to a bleating pacifist : Diplomacy, you can't win peace through war, etc...

Best speaker was Philip Lamberts for the Greens (1:53); but I would say that, wouldn't I?
