Citizenship and residence by investment schemes (debate)
Several EU countries have investment citizenship-by-investment (CBI) and residence-by-investment (RBI) schemes under which third-country nationals are granted citizenship or residence status in exchange for financial benefits. Unfortunately, they have minimal or no physical presence requirements and offer a ‘fast track’ to becoming a resident or citizen in a Member State compared to conventional c

Lifting of EU sanctions on the import of Russian sable fur (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I am pleased to inform you. This is not the first time in this House that this debate has reached the peaks of the Himalayas, one can even say when it comes to hypocrisy on the one hand and naivety on the other. Ladies and gentlemen, are you aware of how caricatured the European Commission and, unfortunately, the leaders of our countries look today

Presentation of the Court of Auditors' annual report 2025 (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I am pleased to inform you. The problem of the living situation and living conditions of seniors in Europe itself is strongly correlated with the phenomenon of ageing populations. This trend has already become a Community norm and not an anomaly in individual countries. The fertility rate fell between 2021 and 2024 in 26 of the 27 European Union cou

EU strategies for islands, coastal communities and outermost regions (debate)
Madam President, thank you very much. As a resident of West Pomerania, I have been able to observe for many years how the inhabitants of the island of Wolin, Usedom or Karsibórz were excluded from communication for decades. The communists militarized these regions and were not interested in investments, e.g. road investments. After the fall of communism and Poland's accession to the European Union

Escalations in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean following persistent Turkish provocations (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I am pleased to inform you. The aim of the European Union should be to reduce tensions. Europe should support solutions that allow all parties to maintain dialogue while fully respecting member rights. Therefore, the stability of the Eastern Mediterranean is in the interest of the European Union as a whole. Tensions between Turkey, Greece and Cyprus

The need for an EU strategy to counter Islamist entryism and the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood network (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Children do not enter the world of violence overnight. Most often, it begins with factors such as a lack of authority, a lack of sense of community, a lack of positive patterns, an identity crisis, a sense of loneliness, and a lack of acceptance. The best protection, I stress – the best protection is always the family, sometimes the school and loca

How to secure a sustainable future for the EU livestock sector in light of the need to ensure food security, farmers’ resilience and the challenges posed by animal diseases? (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. First of all, I would like to thank Mr Charles Danza very much for this excellent report. All the more so because this document is extremely necessary and very timely. Moving on to the substance: In recent years, there has been a worrying trend in the European political mainstream to undermine the role of animal husbandry and meat production as unorganic, unethic

State violence in Minneapolis and the rule of law in the United States (topical debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. In June 2024, the tragic death of Polish soldier Mateusz Sitek occurred, who was stabbed by an illegal migrant during an attempt to forcefully cross the border illegally. In one year alone, more than 50 Polish officers were injured and injured. Violence, rape, theft and murder by illegal migrants occur on the streets of European cities every day. Meanwhile, today in the

Attempted takeover of Lithuania’s public broadcaster and the threat to democracy in Lithuania (debate)
Well, thank you, I can't disagree with you. In fact, double standards. Ladies and Gentlemen, a small example: today, an unlawfully seized public prosecutor’s office in Poland, assisted by the police, entered an independent court, a national court. Ladies and gentlemen, you, as I said, are like these Buddhist monkeys. Whenever parties outside your political bubble are in power, you see nothing, hea

Attempted takeover of Lithuania’s public broadcaster and the threat to democracy in Lithuania (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. The key word that should reflect this debate today is hypocrisy. Ladies and gentlemen, this has already been mentioned.

Ladies and gentlemen, we experienced this when Law and Justice was in power, when w

Persistently high error rates, European Union debt, specificities of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The strategy we are discussing here focuses on EU level and cooperation between countries, but less attention is paid to the integration and support of local and national police services, which are often on the frontline.

Perhaps, at the beginning, I can answer my enthusiastic previous speaker from Poland with a Polish proverb: ‘The devil in the chasuble is dressed and the tail rings for the mass.’ The accusations against Poland were a political creation from the very beginning.
