What Nathalie spoke about.

Rightly, the overwhelming majority of Council members were outraged by the anti-LGBTQI law introduced by Orbán in Hungary. Orbán has already crossed red lines in the past, but now he has fallen lower than ever. I welcome the reaction of most Heads of State and Government, but that should not end there. The Council must trigger Article 7 against this Hungarian government. All legal means must be im

Madam President, as the Russian army tramples on the Donbas front, the Black Sea becomes the new front of aggression decided by Vladimir Putin. Drones and missiles are raining on commercial ships and Ukrainian ports, but also in the territorial waters of Romania and Bulgaria. It does not matter, for Moscow, the civilian casualties or the interruption of the export of Ukrainian grain to the rest of

Mr. Speaker, can you tell us before this House how many times you have travelled to annexed Crimea, to occupied Donbas, to participate in sham election observation for the benefit of Vladimir Putin's regime? How do you think a second time you are legitimate to talk about Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, which you have never condemned, and Ukraine, which you have never wanted us to suppo

Madam President, this Parliament has given me the responsibility to chair a committee to fight against foreign interferences. And at this stage today, I would just remind us all that there are not bad interferences from one country and good ones from another country. We have to fight against all interferences, wherever they come from. In this very specific moment, I would like to read the oral ame

Madam President, I refer to Article 10, again, to the fight against anti-Semitism, again. Yesterday, in this hemicycle, Manon Aubry dared to give me lessons in the fight against anti-Semitism. Yesterday, the same day, a member of his party, Rima Hassan, demolished an Israeli flag and, at the same time, a European flag. So, LFI's lessons of anti-Semitism, it's anti-Semitism that he practices. Yeste

Mr President, let's face it: We have bad habits. One of them is to misname things. The European Union has gradually become accustomed to using euphemisms when it comes to what threatens us, while paying attention to what it is really doing to respond to it. Hybrid threats are one of the best examples, or rather one of the worst. The foiled explosive drone attack in Leipzig is not a hybrid threat.

Mr. Dömötör wants to do Hungarian domestic politics, well let's go: Let us remember that in the previous government, that of the party to which it belongs, Hungary was the subject of sanctions by the European Union for failure to respect the rule of law. I don't think there's anything else to say.

Madam President, today we are voting on the report of the special committee that I chair on the European Democratic Shield. I would like to thank the rapporteur, Tomas Tobé, for his work and for proposing to our Parliament a text which gives an honest account of the attacks on our democracies, as a means of responding to them. I would also like to welcome the spirit of responsibility in which the

Madam President, the resolution we are voting on is an excellent resolution. It describes some, but not all, aspects of the shadow war that Russia is waging against us. And I would like to supplement it by drawing the attention of this Parliament to the fact that Russian propaganda, the disinformation maneuvers that we have tried to limit by banning Russia Today are still present on our soil and I

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the word genocide should never be used lightly. I know that in this Parliament, the emotion of killing civilians was quickly confused with the invocation of genocide. Yet, ladies and gentlemen, the response to Hamas’ terrorism is brutal and disproportionate, but it is not genocide; Russia’s deadly war against Ukraine either. You have to be serious with the words

Madam President, Donald Trump is right. Yes, you have heard: Donald Trump is right. It is time for Europe to take charge and defend itself. This is the least we owe to our citizens: be able to deter external aggression and defend them if necessary. This is the choice that France has made for 60 years, that of strategic autonomy; This is what it has been offering Europe for almost a decade. Neverth

Madam President, thank you Mrs Kallas, you are so right: it is our role as MEPs to say that this is unacceptable. And I note at the moment that part of this Chamber, which is so quick to defend, supposedly, the Christians of the East when it suits it, is completely absent from our debate this afternoon. Eastern Christians deserve the respect of all, all the time. They need us to serve their cause

Madam High Representative, there is much to be said in this debate. First, on the overwhelming responsibility of the Iranian regime and its vassals for the Middle East outbreak, but also on the blatant lack of American strategy and on our European impotence. All this is sadly true. But I would like to tell you about other victims of the current situation, who have been present in the region for 2,

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Patriots Group has a lot of time to waste. He chose to prank us by demanding a debate on the European Commission's alleged interference in elections in Europe. Forgive me for telling you, but we're insane. Who brought down Viktor Orbán, your friend, if not the weariness of the Hungarian people in the face of the poverty of the country, the corruption of the

Madam President, Armenia is a miracle. Please note: The Armenian people have continued to be attacked, from massacre to genocide, and again recently through ethnic cleansing of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. Yet the Armenian people are still standing, legitimately proud of their culture, civilization and religion, and determined to make them shine. The spectacular development of Armenia in rec

Madam President, everything shows us that we need to increase our defence efforts and our strategic autonomy. And yet, it seems that we are looking for all the pretexts to not be up to the task. The US is mistreating its allies and devoting its military resources to waging war in the Middle East, rather than supplying the Europeans or helping Ukraine; Yet there are some here who are fighting Europ

Madam President, Ukraine has never needed us so much. In a biting cold, Russia bombs cities, power plants and civilians every day. The United States no longer helps Ukraine. The Kyl Institute alert, today, and we know that it refers. Support for Ukraine is based on a small number of countries and it is Europe that assumes the main responsibility. It is our honour and it is in our interest, because
