What Jordi spoke about.

Mr. President, I thought you wouldn't dare. I thought they weren't going to dare; not to whitewash the evil - which they do - but to banalize it, bringing a debate here of something as serious as attempts to deny dictatorships and the risk that totalitarianism will return in a spurious way to cover up the shames of national politics. I really thought they weren't going to be able to. And they are,

Mr. President, first, there is something worse than the flat earthers and the savonarolas: the cancelers. It's worse the cancellation, the attack on freedom. Do you know who defines himself as a green Khmer? A colleague of yours who sits there. Of course, of course. Then you take care of it. Try not to impose. Don't impose. You are used to defining the right, the ideal of the right, the profile of

Mr President, the European Green Deal is the answer to real challenges and threats: the threat of climate change. But it's an agreement. Of course, an agreement is something different from an imposition. An agreement is that, which defines an agreement: that several agree on something. Isn't it? Oh, good. There are two threats to the agreements: the flat earth deniers who say that nothing happens,

Madam President, the European Union is going to ban products made with forced labour. This is one of the headlines that should be pointed out by this legislature: ensure that decency is incorporated into the principles and that the principles are incorporated into the obligations. The European Union cannot and must not allow products made with the suffering of people - women, children, people depr

Mr. President, the question is whether while seven hundred people died a day you can hire a company with no experience to buy masks in exchange for millionaire bites and illegal commissions, purchases that went to ministries, public companies and socialist administrations. This is done through an intermediary who went from brothel doorman to adviser to public companies and adviser to the Minister

Madam President, Commissioner, right now in Spain, in Catalonia, there are six million people who have severe restrictions on access to drinking water. Right now. Is a climate risk assessment necessary? Sure, but above all there are things to do. Decisions have to be made. Are droughts new? No, not even the floods. They will be more recurrent, more habitual, less cyclical. And we have to be prepar

Mr President, Commissioner Jourová, do you know how the Spanish Government, chaired by Pedro Sánchez, is preparing to combat Russian interference in Europe? Approving a bespoke amnesty for Catalan separatists who asked Putin for help for Catalonia's independence. An amnesty that seeks not only to erase their crimes, but, above all, what it seeks is to prevent ongoing judicial investigations that h

Mr President, President Ursula von der Leyen has become accustomed to leaving – I suppose she is more interested in what the Heads of State and Government say than the Members of this House – and not listening to the replies. I guess you're not very interested in them, but we're gonna get them to you anyway. The key word at the next Council meeting will be security, the result of insecurity, milit

Mr. President, we're going to win the election by good or bad. That's what Nicolas Maduro said recently at a rally. Good or bad? Good thing it couldn't be. Well, how's it going to be? The hard way. And how are the bad ones? Disabling the candidate who has won the opposition primaries with more than 93% of the vote. This is the objective of Nicolás Maduro: prevent a free democratic confrontation. B

Madam President, last week, journalistic and judicial investigations pointed to two Members of this House for their possible links to Putin's Russia: Mrs Ždanoka, as a possible spy, and Mr Puigdemont, absent, escaped from justice, for his links with the Kremlin. If we do not want to have Putin's Trojan horses in this House, what we have to do is investigate; investigate so that someone can prosecu

Madam President, this is an important issue because we Europeans are very skilled in horsemeat fraud. In fact, we unveiled in 2013 one of the most serious plots of food fraud. Therefore, it is very good that we are able to control the imports of horse meat and the quality of them, because we ourselves ... well, we do not, our producers and some companies illegally used horse meat. So, it's fine. B

Mr President, today we are discussing what to do at the next European Council with a President whose government action threatens the rule of law, repeals equality before the law, attacks the judiciary, violates the division of powers, colonises public institutions, decriminalises corruption and amends the Criminal Code to suppress crimes committed by its partners. He is a president who pardons pol

Mr President, Commissioner, anything that means progress in consumer protection is very good news. This directive is great news, because it protects consumers from abuse, deception and manipulation of the qualities of products and their quality. And it also protects producers who make good production business practices a way to engage with the consumer. But let's not fool ourselves: mistakes in th

Mr. President, corruption needs corruptors and corruptibles. And in these institutions – it is logical, and we lead them – we try to limit those who can be corrupted, the corruptible. But what about the corrupters? And those who put the money? And those who put the euros? What about the suitcase-givers? There, buddy, there we look the other way. Because this case of Morocco Qatargate – Morocco too

Madam President, Mr President, in preparation for this minute, I have looked for the priority document for the semester that we were given in June and when you opened it you appeared to me. Not the four chapters; You, your portrait. As in Oscar Wilde's The Portrait of Dorian Gray, a portrait has appeared that faithfully reflected the sins of the protagonist, not what you have explained here. What

Mr. President, when a dictatorship wants to maintain power, when it is afraid of losing it, there is nothing like looking for an external enemy to point out internal enemies. This is not new, it is a constant in terminal dictatorships. This has been done by the tyrannical government of Nicolás Maduro, instrumentalizing the legitimate cause of the Essequibo, not only to provoke a regional conflict,

Mr. President, Mr. High Representative, in Guatemala a coup d'état is being perpetrated by the Public Prosecutor's Office orchestrated by those who do not want the democratic alternation that questions their impunity; a pact of corrupt people that uses prosecutors and judges to spuriously question the electoral process with the aim of annulling the result of the elections and preventing the inaugu

Mr President, Commissioner, if there is one activity that needs to be regulated, the right to disconnect is teleworking. And three years after the adoption of a resolution on the right to disconnect, we are still without European regulation of teleworking. And it will not be because this Parliament has not insisted: in more than 10 reports or opinions we have stressed the need for such a European

Madam President, Commissioner, it is clear that there is a need for a European health data space, for access to health data. Why? Because we live in an integrated Europe where citizens move, move, have the right to freedom of movement. It is clear that in the face of any health circumstance, it would be normal to have access to the health data of these people in any hospital, in any European medic

Madam President, in recent days we have been experiencing very serious events in Guatemala. The Attorney General's Office has announced its intention to nullify the results of the general and presidential elections in Guatemala based on unfounded allegations of fraud. At the same time, he has called for the lifting of the immunity of the president and vice president elected in Guatemala, with the

Mr. President, I'm going to try to decompress the situation a little bit by saying things as they are. And how are things? As it turns out, the President of the Council of the European Union has been re-elected in his country by paying amnesty for seven votes to criminals, escapees from justice and those investigated for corruption and terrorism. It's hard to hear, but it is. What is the general i

Mr President, the outcome of the summits has to be measured either by the successes achieved or by the agreements reached. When you don't reach any, say it's been a success, keep negotiating, that's fine. I'm not going to talk about rare minerals. I'm not talking about aluminum. I'm going to talk about something much more humble: black olives, a product to which, since 2018, the United States appl

Mr President, from this Parliament we defend and defend that the social economy plays a fundamental role in creating quality employment for people with disabilities and the most vulnerable groups, and that the social economy is a transformative element that is a lever of change for Europe to be fairer, more cohesive and, worth the redundancy, more social. All this was taken up by the Commission's

Madam President, Mr High Representative, Europe will be political or not, but the question we have to ask ourselves is whether it is geopolitical. Well, you're the only one in the Commission who believed that. And I think he preached in the desert. Because some confuse geopolitics with egopolitics; They look alike, they have the same letters, but they are different. Mrs. von der Leyen seems to hav

Mr President, do we need a European strategy against spyware? Yes, but be careful that it does not become a Trojan horse in the hands of separatism, organised crime to threaten democracy and the rule of law in Europe. An example: Today we have known the accusation of the former director of the Spanish secret services using as a basis the Catalangate report of Citizen Lab. A media outlet headlined
