Alice Bah Kuhnke, you spoke well about the defence of rights and freedoms, and there we agree. But last session the Green Party voted against defending the rights and freedoms of Islamist infiltration. You were against a terrorist stamping of the Muslim Brotherhood. At first I saw that you had voted for this and I thought: How good, she also sees that this is a women oppressive organization. But t

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 15-16 October 2026 (debate)
Madam President, I would like to thank you for your This House, and the Commission, want to introduce new EU taxes. You call them own resources, but it's the same thing. It's about more of the Swedes' money to Brussels. There is a lot of supposedly bourgeois here and rejoices at the idea of European taxes. It makes me think that Hayek is directing his book The Road to Bondage Socialists in all par

Escalation of Houthi attacks and implications for regional security (debate)
Evin Incir! The AKP has never been our sister party. We entered ECR in 2018. You'll have to ask the British Conservatives how they reasoned. The fact remains that when the European Parliament took a historic decision to stamp the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist, to actually take on the hard-handed fight against Islamist infiltration, the Social Democrats stood on the wrong side of history.

Escalation of Houthi attacks and implications for regional security (debate)
Thank you, Evin Incir for taking the question! After all, we fully agree that the Houthi rebels should be placed on the EU terror list. This is an organization supported by the Islamist mullah regime in Iran. But when it comes to terrorist listing of the Muslim Brotherhood, we disagreed. There you voted against. Why do you not want to take the hard gloves against an organisation that wants to intr

EU–UK summit: renewed ambition for a closer partnership (debate)
Madam President, Russia's invasion continues relentlessly, Chinese goods flood the single market, and yet Brussels demanded billions for British access to its defence programme while our trade relationship remains burdened by costly barriers and bureaucracy. Common sense dictates that we should seek the closest possible relationship with Britain. What we need is flexibility. The EU negotiates besp

Escalation of Russian strikes in the EU, particularly on Black Sea shipping, threatening human life, regional stability and food security (debate)
Thank you Johan Danielsson for taking the question! With regard to Russia and the threat posed by the Kremlin regime, the Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats are in complete agreement. On the other hand, we voted last session on another security threat, namely Islamist infiltration here in Europe, and Parliament called for an EU strategy against it and for the Muslim Brotherhood to be classi

Empowering Europeans to address the cost-of-living crisis (debate)
Madam President, honourable Members, do you know the story about the Midas touch? The Greek god Dionysus granted King Midas his wish: everything the king touched turned to gold. His food, his drink, even his daughter turned to gold. Today, we have the Brussels touch: the power to make anything complicated, costly and scarce. Energy, fuel, food and housing have all become entangled in a Gordian kno

Escalating student riots in France: arson attacks on schools, assaults against firefighters, police officers and teachers, including in La Ciotat, and the role of far-left parties in inciting violence (debate)
Mr President, France is burning and a party funded by European taxpayers helped light the match. French intelligence calls this an operation by La France insoumise, France unbowed – the far-left party up there and its proxies. Schools on fire, firefighters and teachers attacked, police beaten – and a leftist mayor called it legitimate. That party sits in the European Left Alliance, which takes our
Madam President. Frau von der Leyen, you've said many times that we Europeans decide who comes to Europe. And yet, no more than six weeks after your migration pact came into force, 80 000 illegal migrants decided they could come in to Europe. You claimed most of the illegal migrants returned, but Spanish citizens live in fear of the thousands who remain, stealing, raping and fighting. You stated,

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 18-19 June 2026 (debate)
Madam President, colleagues, the EU leaders are right. We must work more intensely to control migration. The Return Regulation was a victory for the common-sense majority in this House. It sends a clear signal: if you have no right to be here, you will be returned. That is progress. But we must be bolder still. The entire asylum process – receiving, assessing and hosting all claims – must be moved

Recent violent and fatal attacks in Italy and Denmark and their implications for public security in Europe (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. It could have been me. A nice summer evening in Copenhagen: beer, friends, World Cup on big screen – hard to imagine anything better. That's how the night was supposed to be for Christian Zedig. He was 32 years old, father of two young children and police. He was free that day. He was just trying to calm down a fight, and that's when the immigrant gang went after
Madam President, colleagues, in recent days, Europe has once again been reminded of the very real threats to public security on our streets. In Copenhagen, Swedish police officer Christian Zedig, a 32-year-old father of two, was brutally beaten to death at a World Cup fanzone. He was off duty, simply watching a match with friends. When he tried to calm a situation, he was attacked and stomped to d

Common system for the return of third-country nationals staying illegally in the Union (Return Regulation) (debate)
Mr President, colleagues, this House has only two blocks on migration: common sense pro-Europeans and the far left. The far left never wanted a real return regulation. The far left wanted endless appeals and unused detention. The far left wanted to ban return hubs. The far left opposed unlimited entry bans for terrorists and criminals. In short, they fought to preserve a dysfunctional, paralysed s

Recruitment of children by organised crime (debate)
Madam President, child soldiers in Sweden – Sweden, not Africa. Criminal gangs recruit hitmen as young as 12 years old, lured with promises of watches or designer clothes. Dystopian fiction? Our reality. The direct result of decades of social-democratic failure, mass uncontrolled migration, failed integration and weak punishments. Europe, you're not immune – Sweden is the canary in the coal mine.

Reviewing the ETS system to support European competitiveness (topical debate)
Madam President, thank you very much. The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) would reduce emissions. Instead, it risks destroying European industry. Swedish households are already noticing this on their electricity bills. The company notices it in the form of higher costs and investments moving abroad. And at the same time, Brussels continues to make energy more expensive. The result: Jobs are leav

Mr President, thank you very much. Chat Control and DSA combined with the EU identity wallet and age verification app bring us ever closer to a digital 1984.

Do you trust that the EU will solve this? Recently,

Spain’s large-scale regularisation policy and its impact on the Schengen Area and EU migration policy (debate)

Will the Swedish Social Democrats continue our restrictive migration policy? Will you be pushing for re-entry? Will you reform the European Convention on Human Rights so that violent criminals can be
