NLSpeech

Iran’s unprecedented attack against Israel, the need for de-escalation and an EU response (debate)

Mr President, Israel is bombing the Iranian embassy in Syria. In response, Iran bombs two remote military airfields in Israel and suddenly the whole EU is against Iran, violating all human rights there. That's nonsense. Iran should be punished for its support of Russia. That is why I say to all citizens in the EU: This is what your leaders in the EU are doing: they praise our freedom, but force pe

NLSpeech

New allegations of Russian interference in the European Parliament, in the upcoming EU elections and the impact on the Union (debate)

Mr President, the life of each individual is sacred and inviolable. Marriage between man and woman is the sacred bond from which the new life springs. The happiness of people, of children, depends on the traditional family. This European Union is all about destroying life. Through abortion, through vaccinations, through contamination of food and water, of industry and work. By taxes that lead to p

NLSpeech

Need to address the urgent concerns surrounding Ukrainian children forcibly deported to Russia (debate)

President. All these reports about the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia are pure propaganda. Russia has taken in millions of Ukrainian refugees, including fortunately hundreds of thousands of children who have been and are being bombed by the Ukrainian army. Parliament must speak out against these Ukrainian war crimes. The International Criminal Court must prosecute Zelensky for this. U

NLSpeech

Strengthening European Defence in a volatile geopolitical landscape - Implementation of the common foreign and security policy – annual report 2023 - Implementation of the common security and defence policy – annual report 2023 (joint debate - European security and defence)

Mr President, the EU's ambition to count at the global level is unbelievable propaganda. The EU is a raft of totally different countries and cultures, hollowed out by mass migration, in debt, de-industrialising, on its way to destroying its own food and water supply. The EU becomes a third-world country, a third-class American vassal. The EU and NATO have lost this war against Russia economically,

NLSpeech

Review of the Spanish Presidency of the Council (debate)

Mr President, even under the presidency of Spain, the EU was a disaster for its citizens. The sanctions against Russia caused further deterioration in living standards, a flight of industries from Germany and an economic recession. The rising migration caused more housing shortages, rising national debts and hate demonstrations and violence in our cities. National states, such as Hungary, did stan

NLSpeech

Fighting disinformation and dissemination of illegal content in the context of the Digital Services Act and in times of conflict (debate)

Mr President, immediately after the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Elon Musk's Commissioner Thierry Breton demanded that he combat disinformation about this on the social media platform X. Musk was right to ask the Commissioner what specific matters were involved here and there was no answer. This disinformation regulation is a totalitarian and paternalistic means of censoring

NLSpeech

European green bonds (debate)

Mr President, this proposal for European green bonds must go to waste. First, because the name misleads the buyer. Indeed, it seems as if they are EU-backed, covered or issued bonds. The EU cannot issue bonds at all. Secondly, because this is a label in which environmental requirements apply to the activities to be financed, which must also be controlled centrally by the EU. These requirements rel

NLSpeech

Single market emergency instrument (debate)

Mr President, when politicians are allowed to ignore fundamental rights in emergencies, they create emergencies in order to be able to ignore the law. The Single Market Emergency Instrument almost certainly gives politicians the power to deprive citizens of their freedom, property and fundamental rights in emergency situations. And the invented emergency is already here: the climate crisis. There

NLSpeech

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 29-30 June 2023, in particular the recent developments in the war against Ukraine and in Russia (debate)

Mr President, the head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, is wrong. Ukraine is not a democracy. Opposition parties are banned, opposition leaders have been murdered, elections are a thing of the past. Ukraine is a country run by war criminals who set up combat positions in hospitals and schools, bomb apartment buildings and shopping malls, torture and murder prisoners of war, loot churches and imprison pr

NLSpeech

COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned and recommendations for the future (debate)

Mr President, the lessons we can learn from the so-called COVID-19 pandemic are as follows. The measures supported by the WHO were completely nonsensical and had nothing to do with our health. The vaccines didn't prevent you from getting or transferring COVID. The masks or lockdowns did not prevent the spread. The QR codes and access controls were great madness, because vaccinated with COVID came

NLSpeech

Lessons learnt from the Pandora Papers and other revelations (debate)

Mr President, the Pandora Papers are an endless series of tax avoidance by wealthy individuals and companies in tax havens. The current skyrocketing taxes are government theft to keep the poor poor poor and make the rich rich richer. The rich then also bypass taxes through opaque constructions. The government wants to ban cash for the common man, but leaves the millions in untraceable bank account

NLSpeech

Ensuring food security and the long-term resilience of EU agriculture (debate)

Mr President, the globalist elite is waging a ruthless war against our peasants. The Dutch government is at the forefront of this with Frans Timmermans. Onze boeren worden onteigend, weggepest door klimaatactivisten, gekortwiekt door onzinnige stikstofregeltjes. Farms should make way for migrant villas, replacing healthy food with cancer-causing cultured meat and disease-causing insect proteins. F

NLSpeech

The role of farmers as enablers of the green transition and a resilient agricultural sector (continuation of debate)

Mr President, in her mission letter to the outrageously absent Commissioner for Agriculture, Ursula von der Leyen stated that he must achieve the UN’s sustainability goals. This makes it clear that the EU is only a vassal of the super-rich in the United States, who set the UN agenda – such as Bill Gates, who is the largest landowner in the United States. The local farmers must be expelled from the

NLSpeech

Empowering consumers for the green transition (debate)

Mr President, consumers are not misinformed about the environmental impact of products. Consumers are being lied to. In fact, the EU itself is lying and deceiving about agricultural production, about CO2, about diesel and petrol-powered cars, to push through the climate agenda. Farmers are greening. CO2 makes plants grow better and electric cars are more polluting than diesels or petrol cars, but

NLSpeech

EU Global Health Strategy (debate)

Mr President, the EU wants a global administration of the WHO with binding rules during a pandemic. This is a completely wrong strategy. The COVID-19 pandemic has proven that common flu was declared a life-threatening pandemic worldwide, that nonsensical measures – such as face masks and curfews – became universally mandatory, and that millions of people died from experimental vaccines or suffered

NLSpeech

Digital euro (debate)

Mr President, with the digital euro, the ECB is focusing on the private market. It is the digital alternative to cash. At the moment, only the commercial banks spend money in book-entry form, and that is where the European Central Bank comes in. The citizen will soon have an account with the ECB, as in the past with the postal services, which were also owned by the state. And because the ECB canno

NLSpeech

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 23-24 March 2023 (debate)

Mr President, the European Council says in its conclusions that it is working towards a competitive EU. At the same time, he pledges 1 million pieces of ammunition to Ukraine and welcomes the EUR 10 million with which the European Union has purchased the arrest warrant for President Putin at the International Criminal Court. Not a word about the consequences of the sanctions that are followed excl

NLSpeech

Situation in Georgia (debate)

Mr President, this Chamber was shocked to the bone by Qatar's bribery of Members of this Parliament. Parliament called for immediate action. NGOs linked to Qatar had to be banned, as this Parliament rightly wants to avoid foreign influence. Meanwhile, the EU itself gives millions of euros to civil society organisations through the EU roadmap for engagement with civil society in Georgia, to influen

NLSpeech

Deterioration of democracy in Israel and consequences on the occupied territories (debate)

Mr President, in Israel Benjamin Netanyahu has once again become Prime Minister and the protests immediately begin, as also when Donald Trump became president, as also in Georgia, when parliament turned against foreign influence, as also when the Capitol was supposedly stormed. It is the proven technique of the left to organize or hijack protests against payment, to recruit votes, to file lawsuits

NLSpeech

One year of Russia’s invasion and war of aggression against Ukraine (debate)

Mr President, according to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Ukraine has been trained and armed by the West since 2014. Ukraine has been shooting and killing Russian-speaking civilians in the east of the country since 2014. A year ago, Russia started shooting back to end this racist violence. According to Pope Francis, this war is clearly provoked by the West. Russia stands in the way of th

NLSpeech

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 15 December 2022 (continuation of debate)

Mr President, Ukraine is and remains a terribly corrupt country. Western weapons are on the black market. Financial support comes in corrupt pockets. What are we doing in that country? When Iraq was invaded by the US, we were also not all calling for sanctions against America and support for Iraq. The EU is destroying itself. The sanctions on gas and oil affect our industry. Financial support is d

NLSpeech

Implementation of the common foreign and security policy - annual report 2022 - Implementation of the common security and defence policy - annual report 2022 (debate)

Mr President, the EU and NATO have aggressively expanded to the east. In this enlargement, they did not take Russia on board as a possible partner. Moreover, they also failed to take into account Russia's security interests. A truly independent Europe is a Europe including Russia. Against the EU, a strong alliance of countries such as China, Russia, India, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia is now emer

NLSpeech

Defending democracy from foreign interference (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, the Twitter summit concealed the corruption of the Biden family just before the US presidential election. Capital Research revealed the money flows from the Open Society Foundations to NGOs to undermine elections in the EU. E-mails show that the World Economic Forum instructed the Dutch government to implement the WEF agenda without the parliament or the voter knowing.

NLSpeech

System of own resources of the European Union (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, the European Commission wants to be able to levy taxes in addition to the Member States. Tax that businesses pass on to citizens. What is the Commission doing with this money? It gives this money to the big pharmaceutical companies in opaque billion-dollar deals from which the appearance of conflict of interest drips. It gives this money to foundations that pay smuggler

NLSpeech

Situation of fundamental rights in the EU in 2020 and 2021 (debate)

Mr President, the rule of law in the EU is rotten. Governments and the Commission are trampling on human rights. People are locked up in their own homes, excluded from social traffic and work under the guise of pandemic control. Unlawful measures that have proven not to work. The police use the baton, horses and dogs to beat demonstrators. Governments use money and coercion to kick social media cr
