Energy security, independence and supply in the geopolitical context - ensuring market stability and affordable energy for industry and citizens (debate)

Sigrid Friis, your energy policy in the Radical Left has been a disaster for Denmark and for Europe. You have shut down oil and gas in the North Sea, which means that you now have to buy it from the mullahs of the Middle East or from Russia. It's totally toe-to-toe. You said offshore wind would be a great business. The truth is that you are now putting hundreds of billions of dollars in

Energy security, independence and supply in the geopolitical context - ensuring market stability and affordable energy for industry and citizens (debate)

Mr. President! If you want to understand why Europe is not self-sufficient in energy, just look around here in space. This is where we have been pushing for the abolition of nuclear power in countries such as Germany and Sweden. It is here that pressure has been exerted to make Europe dependent on unstable forms of energy such as solar and wind, and it is here that pressure has been e

DASpeech

Drones and new systems of warfare – the EU’s need to adapt to be fit for today’s security challenges (debate)

Mr President! Almost three years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the whole world has seen how cheap drone technology has fundamentally changed the strategy on the battlefield. Nevertheless, it seems that we from the European and NATO side have completely slept by the hour. When we have seen drone strikes against European countries, we have at best been able to react by launching exp

DASpeech

Restoring control of migration: returns, visa policy and third-country cooperation (topical debate)

Mr President! Illegal migrants have flooded Europe in the past two decades. We now see the consequences only too clearly. A major drain on our welfare, a huge crime and overrepresentation associated with serious crimes such as gang-related crimes, murders, kidnappings, violence and rape, and a general problem of cohesion in Europe. We have been sitting on our hands in Europe because we have not da

Territorial integrity and sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark: the need for a united EU response to US blackmail attempts (debate)

It is a rather pathetic accusation, when a year ago I was the strongest - among the Danish members - spoke against Trump in this house. I believe that the video for which I apparently have to be sanctioned has been watched by over five hundred million people worldwide. I've spent the last three weeks, like the previous year, telling this to Americans directly on American TV on everything from CNN,

DASpeech

Territorial integrity and sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark: the need for a united EU response to US blackmail attempts (debate)

It is interesting that it will be a semantic exercise, but the message was clear already then: The only language Trump understands is direct, and the only rejection Trump respects is one without a but. Yet we have seen that since then Europe has given in. The High Representative is talking today about the legitimacy of talking about security challenges around the Arctic, despite the fact that it i

Territorial integrity and sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark: the need for a united EU response to US blackmail attempts (debate)

Mr President, let me put this in words Mr Trump might understand. Mr President, bug off! That was almost how the words sounded when I stood on the very same lectern a year ago and said very clearly that if Trump.

DASpeech

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)

Mr. President! Stine Bosse's history forgery has reached new heights. The Danish People's Party has been part of all aid packages Denmark has given to Ukraine. Over DKK 75 billion has been sent by Denmark. But you have not managed to convince the others, and that is why you stand undressed and naked back. Because Europe does not agree with you that this is a priority. You haven't managed to convin

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)

Mr. President! I find it deeply regrettable that Stine Bosse does not know that Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine. But if, for the sake of storytelling, you'd like to hear about it, I already said it when they entered Crimea. When colleagues from the Socialists, the EPP and others attended the meetings of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and said that Russia was not a threat at all. And I am glad

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)

Mr. President! I understand that the government hastily removed the negative character of minus three on the score scale before their presidency had to be judged. Because it's dumped on all parameters. The government said it will continue the green transition. What did they get? A shabby climate target, which suffered cloudbursts in Brazil because the rest of the world has moved on and is thinking

EU Defence Readiness (joint debate)

The situation of Christian communities and religious minorities in Nigeria and the Middle East, and Europe’s responsibility to protect them and guarantee freedom of conscience (topical debate)

DASpeech

Stepping up funding for Ukraine’s reconstruction and defence: the use of Russian frozen assets (debate)

Madam President! 75 billion Danish kroner is what we in Denmark have so far contributed to Ukraine's freedom struggle. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen tells us that we must take the lead, so we have given the most of everyone in the world. We are leading by example for Europe. So let's see what kind of example we have shown. There are only two other Social Democratic heads of government left in t

Recent peace agreement in the Middle East and the role of the EU (debate)

What I call it is that when parties in a ceasefire don't live up to the expectations, ceasefires cease and luckily the ceasefire has already now been re-established. What I call you is a Hamas apologist, a person who doesn't take a terrorist attack seriously, and who always is ready to apologise to the most vicious and evil ideology we have on this planet: the radical Islamism of Hamas.

ENSpeech

Recent peace agreement in the Middle East and the role of the EU (debate)

Madam President, a ceasefire and the release of hostages should be a cause of celebration. Yet when I hear the debate in this Chamber from the liberals, from the socialists, from the Greens, you seem even more infuriated, even more angry than when the war was prosecuted. Why is that? Is it your hatred towards the Trump administration that takes over? Or is it that you have lost what you saw as a g

Promoting EU digital rules: protecting European sovereignty (debate)

Mr President, the so-called 'chat control' proposal is nothing less than an EU attempt to read every private message, monitor every conversation and decide what speech is acceptable. They claim it's about protecting citizens, but in reality, it's about controlling citizens. Once governments gain the power to scan your emails and your private chats, freedom of expression is gone – our democratic de

DASpeech

United response to recent Russian violations of the EU Member States’ airspace and critical infrastructure (debate)

Madam President! Yesterday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had to admit on Danish television that she had not done enough to prepare Denmark for the hybrid threat. This may otherwise be strange, because the Danish Prime Minister has been among the most aggressive advocates of conflict with Russia in the EU. So how three and a half years into the war you are unable to secure critical Danis

After 10 years, time to end mass migration now - protect our women and children (topical debate)

Mr President, in 2020, a 15-year-old German girl was gang-raped by nine different migrants in a Hamburg city park. In October last year, a 12-year-old girl was murdered in Paris by a Nigerian migrant who had already been ordered to leave the country. And just eight weeks ago, a 16-year-old Ukrainian refugee was pushed in front of a train in Germany and killed by an Iraqi migrant under deportation

Gaza at breaking point: EU action to combat famine, the urgent need to release hostages and move towards a two-state solution (debate)

No, I generally don't tend to believe Hamas, not when they claim how many victims there are, or when they decide how many of them are combatant and non-combatants, because I do not in general put my trust in terrorist organisations. But I recognise, just like you can in an autocracy like Russia, you can have polling done in a population even though it lives in an unfree society, just as well as we

Gaza at breaking point: EU action to combat famine, the urgent need to release hostages and move towards a two-state solution (debate)

The polls define it as extremist when you support horrific acts of terrorism, but I can't bear any more of your hypocrisy on the left. There are genocides committed in many places in the world, but it is only when it is the Jewish state, the only Jewish state in the world, the State of Israel, that you care. You even walk in demonstration, in capitals like my own in Copenhagen, with Palestinians u

Gaza at breaking point: EU action to combat famine, the urgent need to release hostages and move towards a two-state solution (debate)

Madam President, a March 2024 poll relieved a shocking fact: 71 % of Palestinians support Hamas's horrific terrorist attack on 7 October, and 59 % believe that armed struggle is the best way forward. These are not fringe views. They are a majority in a society based on fanatical Islamism and support for terrorism. Every Arab country knows this and recognises it. That is why neighbouring countries
