What Jean-Paul spoke about.

Madam President, I want to speak with a certain solemnity, because this is a serious time for France. We had, during the riots - and I use the term riots well - on Saturday and Sunday nearly 1,000 injured police officers, hundreds of looted shops, town halls and public buildings burned down. All this is the result of ten years of macroism and the socialism that preceded it. But it is also the resu

I have no shame, ma'am. Actually, you're confusing everything. You mix everything up. I am not talking about religion here, I am talking about Islamism. And Islamism has nothing to do ultimately with religion and I do not confuse Islam, indeed, with Islamism. You don't want to hear it. You want to classify us in an extremist movement, which is absolutely not the case with the Patriots. We are simp

Madam President, Islamist enterism is not a distant threat: it is already at work everywhere, as well as at the very heart of our European institutions – we would certainly have to sweep our door first. For years, the Muslim Brotherhood and its networks have been developing a methodical strategy of influence. Femyso, regularly described as close to the Frero movement, was still able to organise a

Madam President, the economic situation of our compatriots is untenable. Faced with the explosion in the cost of living, the French, world champions of compulsory levies, are suffocating under the weight of taxes, especially those that hit fuels and energy. And yet, as if that were not enough, the European Union is preparing for 2028 the entry into force of the ETS2, a new carbon market that will

Madam President, this summer again, Europe, particularly France, was hit hard by the fires. Nearly 100,000 hectares went up in smoke. A sad record, while thousands of families had to be evacuated. First of all, I want to pay tribute to our firefighters. They once again risked their lives to save ours. In France, four of them lost it in the exercise of their mission. They deserve our respect and re

Mr President, this report contains observations. In fact, Turkey does not share, at all, the values of our democracies. Loss of freedoms, repression of the opposition, repeated attacks on the rule of law, interference in the affairs of Cyprus, the list is known, it is growing, and yet we continue, session after session, to maintain the fiction of a frozen but theoretically reversible accession pro

Mr President, in Iran, a courageous people stands up against a dictatorship of relentless violence. Women and men face death for an elementary requirement, freedom. Faced with this demand, the mullahs' regime opposes only one response, terror, and thousands of unarmed Iranians are massacred. Meanwhile, Europe is not reacting. This diplomacy of complacency has failed. It only consolidates a regime

Madam President, Mrs von der Leyen has just signed with a smile the death penalty for our agriculture. It signed the agreement after more than 25 years of negotiations, a sign of widespread resistance to the treaty. Why? Because there are still people who want to preserve their agricultural world, the world that has shaped our nations over the centuries. For Ms von der Leyen, Mercosur is one of th

Madam President, for years, the European Commission has been attacking countries like Hungary on the basis of an alleged failure to respect the rule of law. However, there is no clear legal definition of this concept at EU level. I have never received a satisfactory answer to my questions to the Commission regarding this definition. This mechanism, invented and implemented by the Commission, is no

Madam President,me Is von der Leyen obsessed with Hungary? Brussels' political relentlessness against Budapest is no longer a drift, it is an assumed strategy. Viktor Orbán leads a legitimately elected government. It is the Hungarian people who have decided, whether you like it or not, and this people is proud of its history, its identity, its traditions, its sovereignty, in short, everything that

Mr President, by banning the sale of thermal vehicles from 2035, the European Union has signed one of its most absurd and suicidal laws. Under the guise of a dogmatic ecological transition, Brussels offers on a plateau the European automotive market to Chinese and American manufacturers. While they jealously protect their industry, we sacrifice ours. Asian giants produce low-cost electric cars, of

Madam President, Liana. Lisa. Two first names. Two broken destinies. Two young European girls, one Ukrainian, refugee in Germany, the other Dutch. Both victims of a barbarism that our societies should never have allowed to settle. Two names we must refuse to forget. Liana was 16 years old. She had fled the war. She was looking for peace. What she found was death. Last summer, an Iraqi migrant, und

Madam President, Denmark now holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. If your government remains marked, Prime Minister, by left-wing policies, it must be acknowledged that in the area of migration you have changed your position in the right direction. But let us do justice to those who have prepared this evolution. It was our allies in the Danish People’s Party who first denounc

Madam President, the NATO summit to be held this June should allow us to recall a few key points. I will focus on one of them, concerning Ukraine. In a context of protracted war between Russia and Ukraine, there are still voices calling for Russia to join the alliance. As I say clearly, Ukraine must not become a member of NATO. It is not that the brave and bruised Ukrainian people do not deserve o

Mr President, the United States has been imposing a 25% surcharge on imports of European cars for a month. This is a real blow for our automotive industry, already exposed to severe Asian competition. This is neither an accident nor a surprise, Donald Trump had clearly announced his intentions; But above all, it is the direct consequence of decades of lack of European protectionism and the opening

Donald Trump has just announced a 25% increase in tariffs on European cars. A brutal decision, but, alas, not surprisingly. Why? Because the United States knows that the European Union is still giving in. Far from defending the interests of its members, Europe has locked itself in a technocratic obsession, cut off from industrial realities, unable to protect its factories, its industries and its e

Mr President, a hundred days have passed since the new European Commission was set up, and a sad observation must be made: continuity with the former Commission, which was largely disavowed by Europeans in the last elections. Far from hearing the message of the ballot boxes, the Commission persists in a policy that seeks to impose itself in the face of the will of the people. For example, in the a

Mr President, Rule 10 of our Rules of Procedure requires Members to preserve the dignity of Parliament, and Rule 17 states that Members are responsible for the acts of their assistants. Those rules were trampled on last night. Under the direction and in the presence of Mme Manon Aubry, group president, a crowd of French MEPs and far-left assistants tried to prevent a conference from being held her
