What Jordan spoke about.

Madam President, Prime Minister of Canada, President von der Leyen, to hear you glorify your record every year, Europe would always be on the eve of a new beginning. Yet, listening to our fellow citizens, it has mostly come to the end of a system. There are now, in 2026, two Europes. There is a Europe of those who write standards, bureaucrats who waste public money and invent the taxes of tomorrow

Madam President, Commissioner, ETS, three letters, an acronym that smells of above-ground bureaucracy and a question that always comes up: Who's gonna pay the bill? Three letters that strangle our industrial flagships, sacrificed for a breathless carbon market. Three letters that cause every day cascading bankruptcies in all the European flagships of the steel, chemical, construction sectors, all

Mr President, Commissioner, at a time when European families count every euro spent, we are now looking at what should be the most transparent and responsible political act: the budget of the European Union for the next seven years. Every taxpayer should follow the exchanges we have today, because it is about his taxes, the use of his money and, indeed, his future. Because a budget is not a simple

Mr President, Commissioner, energy inflation is once again knocking on Europe's door, and no one here can ignore the extent to which it is taking millions of our fellow citizens by the throats. Our energy policy is not only a hostage to an unsustainable tax burden, it is also the result of risky decisions taken at European level, for which many of you here are responsible. I want to addre

Madam President, once again, the European Commission intends to continue the sacking of our agriculture for the sole benefit of German industry. President von der Leyen is negotiating a new free trade agreement with Australia, whose agricultural area is thirteen times that of France, Europe's second largest economy. Faced with the risk of aggravating direct competition against our pea

Madam President, President Zelenskyy, ladies and gentlemen, four years ago, almost to the day, Europe woke up with a crash. On our continent, which we thought was definitely reconciled with itself, the war of invasion became a reality again. In deciding to attack Ukraine, Vladimir Putin not only violated borders, he defied a founding principle of the European order, that no nation can be subjected

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today there is a truth that no one can deny anymore: Europe speaks as a power, but lives as a declining continent. While Brussels makes summits, strategies and slogans, our factories close, our engineers leave and our production lines relocate. Europe is no longer preparing for the future, it is organising its own exit from industrial history. In the name of

Madam President, Madam President of the European Commission, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, today I want to tell you about our farmers who you drive to the slaughterhouse. Mrs von der Leyen, you have just returned from Paraguay, where you have, this Saturday, planted a new nail in the coffin of our farmers by signing the trade agreement with the Mercosur countries. Th

Madam President, Madam Vice-President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation in Iran reveals a simple and serious truth: that of a regime that stands only by repression and fear. For months, the Iranian government has been responding to the legitimate aspirations of its people through arbitrary arrests, torture and executions. Women, students, political opponents are persecuted, not for crimes, but

Mr President, Madam Vice-President, what is being played out around Greenland today goes far beyond a one-off diplomatic disagreement. It is a test of power and truth for Europe. The President of the United States puts the European Union before a clear choice: accept vassalization under the guise of a transatlantic partnership or become sovereign actors again, capable of defending our interests an

Madam President, no one can ignore the distress and suffering of the rural world. Listen to the anger of farmers in France: They no longer fight to live, but to survive. As you prepare to sign the death warrant for French agriculture by signing the free trade agreement with Mercosur, the epidemic of nodular dermatosis is spreading, giving rise to unbearable images of tearful farmers watching, help

Madam President, history will judge the Green Deal very harshly, of which Ms von der Leyen was the architect. It will be judged not as an alleged ‘ecological ambition’, but as one of the biggest industrial mistakes in the economic history of our continent, as a degrowth pact imposed on our sectors of excellence, as a strategy of economic disarmament – at the very moment when, from Washington to Be

Madam President, ten years ago, on 13 November 2015, Paris was bleeding, struck in the heart by Islamist barbarism. Ten years have passed, but for the bereaved families, for the battered France, it was yesterday. No Frenchman will ever forget the cries, the tears, the terror of a night when 132 lives were taken. No Frenchman will ever forget those faces, those looks, those destinies shattered beca

Madam President, Madam Minister, Madam President von der Leyen, 15 hours a week is the time a farmer spends filling out papers rather than cultivating his land. 130 days a year is what a small and medium-sized business leader spends facing bureaucracy rather than growing their business. 200 million euros each year, this is what the regulatory chatter of the Green Deal costs Michelin, the French an

Madam President, in the burning stones of Jerusalem are the roots of the three great monotheisms. On this earth where heaven has been rubbing shoulders with war for centuries, peace remains as a fragile and precious hope. The recent agreement between Israelis and Palestinians under President Trump is not a miracle, but a political courage that has become a reality. It marks a step, perhaps hesitan

Madam President, Madam President von der Leyen, it has been six long years since the European Union, under your presidency, embarked on a dizzying leap forward. A commercial leak first, of which the agreements with Mercosur and the United States are the sad symbol. In the face of Trump's America, you have not only agreed to an agreement without compensation, you have signed the trade surrender of

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Madam President von der Leyen, on behalf of millions of French people, today I ask you a simple question: What interests are you really defending? What interests do you defend, Madam, when you impose, against the opinion of France, the second largest European economy, a free trade agreement with Mercosur that will aggravate unfair competition against our farm

Madam President,me Hassan has just demonstrated once again that she was not, in this Chamber, a French Member of the European Parliament, but the ambassador of Hamas to the European Union. I would therefore like to make a reminder of the Rules of Procedure, please, on the basis of Rule 10(7). On the occasion of the European Youth Meetings held in these walls last weekend, Parliament once again rec

Madam President, the new leader of the Syrian regime has worked for several years within Al-Qaida and Daesh, whose fanatics have shed the blood and tears of our compatriots. It is absolutely implausible that Emmanuel Macron will receive him today for his first visit to European soil, in a capital that has been bereaved several times by Islamist barbarism. It is a betrayal of our values and the mem

Mr President, the European Union, through the Green Deal, has imposed on car manufacturers a forced transition completely disconnected from Europe's industrial and strategic realities. For years, you have been following the constraints on our manufacturers without ever measuring the consequences of such constraints on growth. And now you discover with confounding naivety that you have brought our

Mr President, Commissioner, nothing has been anticipated, and yet Europe seems to be discovering what has been announced for a long time: In line with his plan, Donald Trump uses tariffs as a weapon to bend his partners as well as his competitors. By striking almost every sector and state indiscriminately, the U.S. president is creating additional uncertainty and fragility for our entrepreneurs. T
