Cutting costs and unnecessary reporting obligations now – concrete next steps to deliver swift relief for EUʼs entrepreneurs (topical debate)
Mr President, two out of three small and medium-sized enterprises identify regulatory complexity as an obstacle to their growth. 22% of SMEs spend more than 10% of their workforce assessing and managing regulatory requirements. €150 billion is the annual cost valued by the European Commission in recurrence costs in the design of administrative processes. There is no way to be competitive without r
Recommendation on EU-China political relations (debate)
Madam President, one of the few salvageable things of the previous legislature was the recognition of a reality: China is not our friend, but a strategic risk for Europe. This awareness expressed by this Parliament in its reports must be defended against attempts to undermine it from Beijing. Look at Spain: While Europe tries to close the door to Chinese influence, the obsolescent president Sanche
Hybrid attacks against the EU Member States (joint debate)
Mr President, Madam High Representative, I join in the dismay at the Russian hybrid warfare attacks but I must devote the time to an ongoing hybrid warfare attack carried out by Morocco since July. First, it uses unconventional strategies and tactics, uses its own population as a weapon, as it did in its day in the Green March, and Moroccan security agents have organized and guided the invasion. S
Joint Declaration on ‘Culture for Europe - Europe for Culture’ (debate)
Joint Declaration on ‘Culture for Europe - Europe for Culture’ (debate)
Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)
Madam President, we are debating how to combat poverty from the institutions that most hinder the generation of wealth. In the mindset of the Union, businesses are not created, they are regulated; Wealth is not generated, it is redistributed. Do we want to address the problem of access to housing? Urge states to liberalize land, stop controlling rents and confront landlords with tenants. Look, in
Rail transport safety in the EU – lessons learnt from the Adamuz accident and three years after the Tempi tragedy (debate)
Madam President, the Commission representative knows that this is not just another accident, this is a case of negligence. Forty-six dead and two hundred wounded in Adamuz add to a long list of victims of the irresponsibility of the government of Pedro Sánchez. Spain was the country most affected by COVID-19. In Spain, the lack of infrastructure caused the catastrophe of Valencia in the
Rise of political violence, notably by far-left organisations (debate)
International Day of Education, fighting inequalities in access to education (debate)
Madam President, you are out of the question. Our concept of civilization demands equal access to compulsory public education. As for skills, if education in humanistic disciplines is not encouraged, we will create a perfect individual-gear: useful, but without further purpose or transcendence. He will be vulnerable to opinions stronger than those he is able to defend and will end up thinking as h
Spain’s large-scale regularisation policy and its impact on the Schengen Area and EU migration policy (debate)
European Democracy Shield – very large online platform algorithms, foreign interference and the spread of disinformation (debate)
European Democracy Shield – very large online platform algorithms, foreign interference and the spread of disinformation (debate)
Outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference - Belém (COP30) (debate)
Mr President, no one here denies climate change; climate emergency is denied. Climate catastrophism is a scam. Yours is not science, it's superstition. It's Greta Thunberg sentimental propaganda. Consensus is contrary to science. Theirs is an ideology, a political strategy. Even Bill Gates, one of the great funders of this substitution religion, has gotten out of the car. Man cannot change the cli
Implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (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)
Institutional consequences of the EU enlargement negotiations (debate)
Mr President, we are not so much concerned about enlargement as about the gradual erasure of sovereignty with which they want to carry it out. First they tell us they want more Europe. Then we found that means less sovereignty, less voice and less freedom for nations. They call it efficiency, but it's actually fear. You are afraid of governments that do not accept your agenda, afraid of patriotic
EU strategy with regard to Iran’s nuclear threat and the implementation of EU sanctions resulting from the snapback mechanism (debate)
Madam President, the Islamist theocratic regime in Iran is the main destabilising agent in the Middle East and the biggest promoter of international terrorism. A hitman of his attacked the life of Don Alejo Vidal-Quadras, who was president of this House for many years; He's alive by miracle. The aggressive foreign policy of the ayatollahs has been attacking peace and security for years through sub
Devastating wildfires in Southern Europe: the need to strengthen EU aid to restore the massive loss of forests and enhancing EU preparedness (debate)
Mr President, I believe that at least three factors are mixed in this matter. On the one hand, there is the negligence of those who, from their political management positions, should have done more than they have done. In that sense, my political background has presented the appropriate criminal legal actions for the responsibilities that could arise. On the other hand, we have a rather inexplicab
Outcome of the Conference on the Financing for Development in Seville (debate)
Mr President, this House refused by a majority to be present as such at the Seville Conference. In what capacity did the Members who presented themselves there attend?, in what capacity?, who did they represent?, will they not have arrogated to themselves a representation that they lack? On the other hand, one begins to get a little fed up with the moral superiority of a left whose model of develo
Lessons from Budapest Pride: the urgent need for an EU wide anti-discrimination law and defending fundamental rights against right-wing attacks (topical debate)
Madam President, I see this as a perfect occasion for some of you to feel like heroes: armchair heroes, tin soldiers heroes. Because everything they are accusing – in this case Hungary – is radically false. Where is the discrimination of people on the basis of their sexual orientation? Here there is a decision by a sovereign state on certain issues of public order when organizing demonstrations; l
Safeguarding the rule of law in Spain, ensuring an independent and autonomous prosecutor's office to fight crime and corruption (debate)
Mr President, Mr Zoido, who preceded me in speaking, was Minister of the Interior, a good Minister of the Interior, when the coup d'état of Mr Sánchez's current partners took place. With them he came to power. With them he won the motion of censure. With them he has agreed an election that he lost in order to continue governing. What is in Spain is indescribable. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Par
Stopping the genocide in Gaza: time for EU sanctions (topical debate)
Madam President, since you are not ashamed, let me be ashamed for you, Madam, for what I have just heard. You come here with a debate title that is a request for principle - that is the name of the logical fallacy: stop the genocide in Gaza. It's like I'm saying, We are going to discuss stopping drug trafficking in your political group. It would be a lie, just as genocide is a lie. What genocide i
Resilience and the need to improve the interconnection of energy grid infrastructure in the EU: the first lessons from the blackout in the Iberian Peninsula (debate)
Madam President, we have already warned of the risks of shutting down nuclear plants, of basing our energy system on renewables, of becoming dependent on the outside. In the end, the facts, sadly, have proved us right, and the power grid has collapsed, causing an unprecedented blackout of fatal consequences - ten dead, so far - and embarrassing. This has happened only days after the head of Red El
EU Preparedness Union Strategy (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, you, who are the aristocracy of the bureaucracy, urge us to be prepared for catastrophes of all kinds. We just heard it. The apocalypse is approaching in the form of weather disasters, war, fake news, foreign interference. It seems to me that they intend to generate a permanent state of fear. So we will thank you to do with us what you want. And what you want is to m
