National vetoes to undermine the global tax deal (debate)
There is no EP plenary session without a debate on Poland or Hungary. What do these debates bring? Absolutely nothing. There is no change of power as Mr. Pons of the EPP wanted. There is no starvation of Poland, as Mrs. Barney of S&D wanted. There is, however, a progressive internal weakening of the European Community, an erosion of the freedom and sovereignty of the Member States, which are boxed

Framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s net-zero technology products manufacturing ecosystem (Net Zero Industry Act) (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Unfortunately, every subsequent decision taken by the European Commission is even worse for Europe in its forecasts. You are funding the energy transition without technology or resources. Let's check the data: the ten largest solar panel companies are based outside the European Union; The eight largest heat pump companies are based outside the European Union. We

Withdrawal of the Union from the Energy Charter Treaty (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Millions of people in Europe are already feeling the effects of energy policy. Millions of Europeans pay for Eurocrats' dreams out of their own pockets. From 2026, each of us will be affected by the increase in electricity prices. Our continent will stop growing and Europe is lagging behind the economies of China and the United States. This is the result of the green ma

Amending Directive 2011/36/EU on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. We need very concrete, very deliberate, but above all immediate action. We need Member States to be much more active in the fight against smuggling and trafficking in human beings. Above all, we need higher penalties for this practice and, above all, stricter treatment of the guilty. Women and children are two vulnerable groups. The data is terr

EU climate risk assessment, taking urgent action to improve security and resilience in Europe (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. My voice will be very polemical. We all want to breathe clean air. We want to live in a clean environment. We want to have cheap energy and there is no doubt about it. But what goals? How do we get there? What's the way? This is a field for powerful discussion, because the issue of climate warming – I call it the climate religion – has been,

The murder of Alexei Navalny and the need for EU action in support of political prisoners and oppressed civil society in Russia (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Glory to the Lord over the soul of Alexei Navalny! Great respect and support for his loved ones! Putin extinguished the star of hope for freedom and democracy. It is necessary for the European Union to draw conclusions from this death and other victims of Putin. And I have this reflection. Let's think about what Europe and the world would be like if it weren't fo

Human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2023 (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. This is a very important report, but it must include what has already been rightly said today, because the persecution of Christians in the world is increasing. Approximately 365 million people are subjected to various kinds of attacks, harassment only because of their faith in Jesus Christ. From year to year, this situation gets wors

Implementation report on the EU LGBTIQ Equality Strategy 2020-2025 (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. We have so many problems today in the European Union: for example, farmers' protests, the huge turmoil associated with the war in Ukraine, an increase in attacks on Christians by 44%. And what? We're not discussing that. There is no report on this. Just to be clear: I am against discrimination against anyone on the basis of faith, on the basis o

Need to fight the increase of antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. There has been a lot of talk about extremism and hate. I am opposed to this because of any issues, so that anyone may suffer acts that are unworthy of man. But we have to be clear that they certainly stem from a lack of education. Last month, here in the European Parliament, I presented an exhibition commemorating the Ulma family, the Polish

Water crisis and droughts in the EU as a consequence of the global climate crisis and the need for a sustainable, resilient water strategy for Europe (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Water is life. I represent Lower Silesia and Opole Voivodeship. In Poland, problems with drought and lack of water are also problems for our farmers. They face the effects of drought every year. We very much need investments in water retention, in treatment plants, in waterworks. Because we believe that the European Commission should urgently unblock measures tha

Situation of fundamental rights in the EU in 2022 and 2023 (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. This report actually sounds as if we have partially rewritten it from previous years. In my opinion, it is very secondary and very incomplete, because it does not mention even those who are silent victims of this, supposedly, policy of tolerance of life without any rules. He does not mention Christians, the faithful of the Catholic Church. Today, there is a wave of atta

Extending the list of EU crimes to hate speech and hate crime (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. We are talking about hate speech today, but it has to be defined, it cannot be left without a definition. Because what is hate deserves the highest punishment – I agree, I am against hate. But it can't be that we're actually pulling the punishment for opinions under hate speech. And here is the fundamental difference that here the will and the increase that follows is t

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. As the revision of the Treaties is a very broad subject, requiring an extremely in-depth analysis and a thorough discussion, allow me to put forward a polemical position for discussion, because we need this discussion in this House very much. Because, unfortunately, this discussion is conducted within the European institutions, but it

Everyone also has the right to their family life, to freely spend their free time no
Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Data in today's modern economy is the key to success. Patients’ medical information in the European Union’s single market was worth €160 billion in 2020. That is why it becomes so important to build a system of their use and, above all, a security system. The protection of sensitive data is key in this Regulation. We cannot allow patients to be

Double standards and focusing only on Poland can no longer take place. All Member States should be treated equally, regardless of which political group the members of the
