What France spoke about.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Mediterranean is obviously an eminently strategic area for all the countries bordering Europe, on which, unfortunately, the European Union is weakening us a little more every day. Turkey unduly and militarily occupies part of Cypriot territory? The European Union is letting go and working towards its integration into the Union. Illegal immigration lands by t

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the 21st century and our elders are the most discriminated against and vulnerable people in the world. They have never been so abused in centuries. In the past, family solidarity was not an empty word. Under one roof, several generations lived together and contributed. The experience of the elderly, and sometimes even of an identity, memory and traditi

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I shall speak today only about the fisheries sector. Because, for 30 years, through a whole series of legislations voted here by presumably all the political groups, the European Union has brought our ultramarine fishing to its knees. The Commission has thus destroyed a fundamental part of our economy and the identity of our overseas territories. The European

Mr President, today we have to talk about the common fisheries policy and its evaluation since 2013. It is a vast programme, and what can we really say about it? Should we talk about the Commission's lack of action, which calls for evaluations in meetings, meetings in summaries, summaries in working groups, working groups in evaluations, before starting the infernal cycle again? Because in fact, M

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in El-Obeid, people are being bombarded, executed, raped, forcibly displaced and repeatedly violated international humanitarian law. It seems that we all agree today to make this observation. It should be noted, however, that strangely little is heard of far-left politicians – and I am particularly referring to La France insoumise – on this subject. It must be s

Mr President, yes, it is clear that our seas are not spaces without rules and borders. And today, it is true, there is less and less space and more and more actors, which multiplies the conflicts of use that are bound to multiply and break out again in the future. But the record of your application of this famous Maritime Spatial Planning Directive, Commissioner, is overwhelming. Let’s start – I w

Madam President, no, Mr Kadis, an integrated ocean diplomacy at European level will neither save nor make fisheries competitive. Indeed, what is killing our fisheries is European technocracy. What kills our fishing is the centralization and standardization of decisions, which trample the diversity and specificities of our territories, instead of anchoring them in reality. The reality, ladies and g

Mr President, 2019: Abidjan; 2022: Brussels; 2025: Angola. At each summit, the European Union gives us a new agreement to renew its relationship with the African continent. And it pretends not to see that African States do not need our help, but a balanced cooperation between sovereign peoples, respectful of their specificities, their identity and their interests. On immigration, on food sovereign

Madam President, yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing the spread of mosquitoes and ticks, which is leading to the spread of infectious diseases in our country today. However, this spread is due as much to climate change as to the intensification of trade and human flows organised by the globalist system and, let us not forget, by the European Union. Putting proliferation solely on the back

Mr President, Brussels technocracy is killing. By focusing on our peasant world, it has deprived us of the means to fight fires effectively and preventively. In 1981, we had 13 million sheep clearing our territories free of charge 12 hours a day and 365 days a year. Today, we have 6 million. We lost 7 million brushmen who, preemptively, maintained our territories and our risk areas. From 65,000 br

Mr President, yes, the peace agreement negotiated in Washington between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo under the aegis of the United States is tragic in more ways than one. First, because he is twisting his arm in Congo by committing it to endorsing the suffering of its people and supporting the Rwandan dictator Kagame. Secondly, because it infers the European Union from the four will

Madam President, this pact for the oceans is a direct attack on our European fishing industry, which the Commission has decided to sacrifice to the interests of free trade and globalisation. First, it tries to arrogate to itself power over all the territorial waters of the Member States. Secondly, no concrete measures are proposed against illegal fishing or against the privatisation of our maritim

Madam President, we could consider that this report on strengthening rural areas in the European Union through cohesion policy contains good measures. That's right. The problem is that the European Commission degrades and destroys everything it touches. Whether on land, in our countryside, at sea, vis-à-vis our peasants, our fishermen or rurality as a whole, they are always the same mistakes, the

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in ten years food prices in France have risen by 34%, electricity by 150% and diesel by 132%. These constrained expenses, which particularly affect the most modest families, are in line with the policy imposed by Brussels, even though the average salary of the French has not followed. This debate should not be entitled "High retail prices of food products and

Mr President, the European Ocean Pact is exactly following the technocratic drift that is plaguing our institutions and the European Union. It is not a question here of organising or imagining cooperation between nations that takes into account the needs and specificities of each. No. The Commission has chosen to sclerose, regulate and standardise everything – but for what purpose? The Commission

Mr President, feeding humanity is the major challenge of the 21st century. That is why we must not only rethink, but support the production model. The sea is an integral part of this challenge, with a powerful, sustainable fishing industry associated with sustainable aquaculture. For this, we must create all the conditions to promote synergy between the nurturers of the sea and the nurturers of th

Madam President, Sweden's bloody gang war seems to be moving the European Union today. What surprises the political class, in fact, is that Sweden is a prosperous country, with one of the lowest crime rates in the world. But it was the angelism of the Swedes that led them to a completely crazy migration policy, which exploded organized crime. So, we could consider this as a warning, as in Brussels

Mr President, 30 000 people. 30,000 people died trying to cross the Mediterranean, chasing a fictional eldorado, chasing an eldorado you sold them. These tragic deaths are not to be blamed on the fight against illegal immigration, but on your borderless ideology, the suction pumps you have put in place and your leniency towards the mafia networks of smugglers. We see in Mayotte, on our soil, today

Mr President, desertification is a major threat, but there is one that is not talked about enough, and that is the desertification of our seabed. Deploring the acidification of our oceans, warming waters or rising sea levels is not enough. We must also denounce the causes of this disaster. In France, for example, in Morbihan, they are found in the sterilizing construction of offshore wind farms or

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is good that the negotiations on an international treaty setting binding targets on plastic pollution are now about to be concluded. All this would seem to go in the right direction. However, will this text actually have an impact in the end? Because, if everyone seems to have understood the consequences of this disaster, is everyone really and

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Commission, by means of a delegated act, has prohibited fishing in the Bay of Biscay for our fishermen on the pretext of protecting cetaceans. She based this decision on a report by the Pelagis Observatory, which established this data by simply doing 3% of necropsies. It is in the light of these questionable data that the Commission has chosen to pu

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the protection of our oceans is a crucial economic, environmental and geopolitical issue, particularly for France, which has the second largest maritime domain in the world. But the proliferation of marine protected areas does not guarantee their integrity. Financial fishing is globalized and prosperous, without respect for the resource, from Ma

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the 2008 crisis revealed the flaws of collusion capitalism, putting the US federal state and major investment banks in the same bag. Despite some efforts, nothing has really been done to restore finance to its primary purpose: find capital for our businesses and entrepreneurs, who create wealth and jobs here at home. The multiplication, for example, of ESG (envi

Mr President, budgetary and fiscal sovereignty, a founding principle since 1789, is the sacred basis on which France has built its social and democratic pact. However, your Stability Pact is in breach of this. Is there a need to clean up the accounts? Yes, yes. Are we in debt beyond reason? Also. However, to say that this pact provides any solution is a mirage, because it consists in imposing on F

Mr President, descriptive and contradictory: descriptive because this report on the European Semester merely describes the economic aspects that have led to a deterioration in living conditions in the European Union, aspects that our citizens had already understood – they are experiencing this deterioration on a daily basis, with a collapsing standard of living and purchasing power and a persisten
