What Ana Miguel spoke about.

On people, on the right to housing, for example, I can also give you an answer: your party, your government, ruled for eight years, had eight years to build houses, had eight years to increase supply. His Prime Minister has also pledged to respond to some 26 000 families by 2024. In June of that year, for example, only 1 700 dwellings were delivered. I also say that, during socialist governance, P

Honourable Member, you know that something does not turn into a right just because its authors invoke a political cause. I therefore ask you, Honourable Member, whether you consider it acceptable to threaten to throw bricks at the house of a Prime Minister. Do you consider this a peaceful form of protest?

Madam President, the images coming to us from France, Italy and Belgium should embarrass Europe: streets turned into battlefields, shops looted, public buildings burned down, law enforcement officers attacked. The right to protest does not include the right to destruction. And those who turn the streets into battlefields are not exercising a freedom, they are attacking the freedom of others. What

Madam President. Commissioner, Portugal has always known that Europe does not end where the earth ends. It was from the Atlantic that our country was made and it is in the Atlantic that Europe today finds one of its most decisive borders. Madeira and the Azores are more than Portuguese islands in the ocean, they are Europe in the Atlantic. They broaden our presence, project our sovereignty, put th

Mr President, three days earlier, the President of Ceuta did what Sanchez did not do: You've done your duty. And the answer he got was that he wouldn't call again. Can ‑se consent to the third State deciding, on the basis of its political convenience, when to open or close pressure on an external border of Europe? Eighty thousand people do not appear near a border by spontaneous generation. Is San

Mr President, maritime narcotrafficking in the Atlantic is developing rapidly and is putting increasing pressure on the borders of the European Union. We talk about more organised, more aggressive, more sophisticated networks, with a direct impact on our internal security and our responsiveness. The recent operations in Spain and Portugal, in which we regret the deaths of Guardia Civil and the GNR

Mr President, the European Union already has more than 118 000 hectares burned this year by the beginning of July, above the average for the last 20 years. Portugal knows that these numbers are not abstractions. You know what it means to see villages surrounded by flames, you know what it means to evacuate populations in a hurry, what it means to lose homes, businesses, farms, forests, fertile soi

Mr President, the EU-Mexico Agreement is much more than a trade agreement. It is a strategic choice. Mexico is the European Union's second largest trading partner in Latin America. More than 45 000 European companies export to Mexico, many of them small and medium-sized enterprises that will benefit from clearer rules, greater predictability and new investment opportunities. In an increasingly fra

Madam President, Commissioner, in recent months young people in Europe have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism. They were 12, 13, 14 years old. Many had no criminal record, only a mobile phone or a computer and someone on the other side of the screen knowing exactly how to reach them. They were approached, manipulated, recruited, in the silence of an app, a forum, a game or an encrypted conve

Madam President, Madam High Representative, Cuba is the lie of a communist revolution that promised dignity and gave up misery. The lie of a regime that speaks of people while arresting the people. Today, in Cuba, almost everything is missing – light, food, medicines, hope – but there is one thing that is never missing: repression. There is no shortage of political police, no shortage of arrests f

Madam President, this is a proud moment for the Parliament. It sends a powerful message: no woman should be forced to choose between her career and embracing the beautiful, yet desirable, experience of maternity. We recognize the basic, medical and physical dimension of pregnancy, ensuring that the merit and commitment of these women are not erased by a temporary physical condition, so that they c

Mr President, Commissioner, we have said this many times: There is no immigration policy without law enforcement. And today, in the European Union, only 20% of return decisions are complied with. It's not a technical detail, it's proof that the system fails. The Pact on Migration and Asylum is necessary, we support it, but it is not enough. Without effective returns, the pact is rhetorical; withou

Madam President, for too long Venezuela has been held hostage by a man who mistook the state for its mirror. He tortured to rule, persecuted to stay in power, exiled to silence, and made misery a deliberate mechanism of social control. The country was abducted, democracy is abducted, international law is abducted. Venezuelans have chosen another path. They voted, they decided, whenever they were a

Mr President, Commissioner, who can guarantee that the choice of the future of Europe will be free, informed and immune from invisible manipulation? That is exactly why this debate is urgent. We live in a time when algorithms decide what we see, even before we know what we're looking for. We live in a time when foreign interference has become a constant, methodical and highly sophisticated strateg

Madam President, this is a very important day for us, for Parliament. We, as a Parliament, are ready to take an important step for mothers who want to be pregnant and to also play a role in politics.

Madam President, I would firstly like to thank the honourable Member for his question, because it gives me the opportunity to explain the portrait left by the Socialist Government, which the honourable Member has supported on immigration. It was eight years of a socialist government that left Portugal with a chaotic system of expressions of interest that quadrupled the number of immigrants and tur
