What Sira spoke about.

Mr President, the budget is a political instrument: It can serve to promote peace policies or death policies. But doing both at once is an exercise in cynicism. You cannot sponsor the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people, Mrs Metsola and Mrs von der Leyen, but then promise to triple humanitarian aid to Gaza. Which way? Where will such aid come from if the only available corridor

Mr President, Commissioner, Secretary of State, there is no doubt at this stage that the New Pact on Migration and Asylum is a custom-made spawn of the far right. And when we thought that nothing could surprise us anymore, Mrs. Meloni arrives and demands a little more, that rescue NGOs be criminalized. We have been listening to narratives for years to dehumanize migrants. I suppose it is much more

Madam President, the image of sexual assault has been seen across Europe: the president of the Spanish Football Federation kissing one of the World Cup champions without his consent. And this that for anyone with common sense is sexual and power abuse, has been questioned, which reveals that it is something normalized in all areas of life. They want to convince us that their privileges and abuses

Madam President, we have told you before, Mrs von der Leyen, you are geniuses in marketing and propaganda. We just delighted with a speech full of half-truths and zero self-criticism, yes, with impeccable language. So much so that it has left him no room to talk about the real causes of inflation, the more than 2,000 deaths that this year alone has caused the EU's migration policy or the rise in m

Mr President, Commissioner, this summer we have broken all records for extreme temperatures in Europe. In addition, we have seen a part of our forests burn. Afterwards, we have had torrential rains and also a brutal increase in sea temperature. These are just some of the consequences of climate change today. And, in that sense, it is essential that when we talk about the fight against climate chan

Madam President, we know that large energy companies in Spain have increased their profits by 140% and banks by 43%. Just yesterday, Banco Santander announced an extra 10 billion, an all-time record. And all thanks to Mrs. Lagarde's fine work. I say fine because the rise in interest rates is a robbery of families to fatten the accounts of banks. We know that there are European companies like Ferro

Madam President, just a few weeks ago I was in Cordoba, walking on the dry bottom of the Sierra Boyera reservoir, the first in my country where there was not a drop of water left. Unfortunately, if we don't do something, it's not going to be the last. Spain suffers the worst drought in decades, with anomalous temperatures. All this has caused that the reservoirs are currently below half their capa

Mr President, Commissioner, as much as I think about it, I do not understand what the photo with Meloni in Tunisia brings to the European Commission. Believe me, it would be a mistake to think that cutting rights for migrants does not go with us because, at the moment when the human rights of a single collective are questioned, we are all at risk. That is, it starts with the rights of migrants, co

Mr President, I often wonder where the line between the Union's racist migration policies and Meloni's racist migration policies lies. I don't know if you've ever thought about it. Because when it is normalized to close millionaire agreements with dictatorships in exchange for controlling migratory flows; when it is approved to erect walls with concertinas and install refugee camps that are detent

Mr President, the truth is that it is a pity that Mr Weber is not here, with how worried he is lately about Spain. Look, I thought he was not going to recover from the blow his party gave him by proposing Mrs von der Leyen as President of the Commission. But, look at him, there we have him, serving as the leader of my country's opposition. In fact, as it continues, I see Mr Feijóo contesting the c

Madam President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, the truth is that it must be acknowledged that they have turned the Commission and the Council into excellent propaganda agencies, into high-level advertising agencies. They announce a lot of things, all the time, all the time. But behind, unfortunately, there is only smoke. You know that families in Europe are having a hard time because of t

Madam President, Mrs Lagarde, the decisions you make at the European Central Bank are a nightmare for any working family. They know perfectly well, because they have already come out recognizing it, that their commitment to raising interest rates is not containing inflation, because it has to do with energy prices. Therefore, their decisions, which of course are conditioned politically, but by tho

Madam President, it seems that we have not had enough with the dozens of dead on the fence of Melilla. Nor with the Frontex scandals, violating human rights and expelling refugees with violence. We no longer seem to be shocked by hot returns, denial of the right to asylum or the criminalisation of NGOs; It even seems that it no longer bothers us so much to hear the racist arguments of the far righ

Madam President, this debate is an instrumental debate of the People's Party, which uses this House to question the legitimacy of the Government of Spain, in the pure style of the extreme right in other parts of the world, especially taking into account the history they carry and, above all, their particular vision of legality. Any examples? Whoever was his interior minister paid with funds reserv

Madam President, the problem of the increase in the cost of living is fundamentally due to a proven fact: multinationals, banking and the financial sector are parasites. I'll explain myself. Spain’s six largest companies – of course energy and banking – made historic profits this year: €25 billion. They have grown seven times more than wages. This means that they have taken advantage of the crisis

Madam President, Commissioner Timmermans, the eco-social crisis undoubtedly pushes us to update the Renewable Energy Directive, of course, to displace fossil fuels, to lower the price of the electricity bill and, undoubtedly, also to strengthen the EU's energy autonomy. But obviously that won't be enough. In addition, we must consider a deployment of renewables that is associated with a reduction

Mr President, every six hours a human being dies at sea trying to reach Europe. Thousands of people, without having committed any crime, are being held and overcrowded in refugee camps with their rights suspended. Frontex has systematically carried out hot returns at sea. We give billions of euros to undemocratic regimes to guard our borders. There are miles and miles of the EU's external border w

Madam President, after the unfortunate words of Mr Borrell justifying the policy of building walls in Europe, with his fantasies of invasions, gardens and jungles, it is easier to understand the scandalous increase in the budget allocation for migration control. It is contradictory that, now that we are suffering harshly from the effects of climate change and the energy crisis, and that we are sti

Mr President, at this point no one doubts that eating, dressing and living costs more because the price of energy has risen. And there is no doubt that this is produced by an electricity market model aggravated by war and scarcity of fossil fuels. We can continue to debate, we can continue to make headlines, but it is urgent to start doing so, because inaction only shows its complicity with the ol

Mr. President, sometimes the contradictions are revealing. In this institution, where fundamental rights are sometimes overlooked, such as in migration policy, where we have Member States trampling on the rights of women and LGTBI people, or where we push for economic policies that often ruin the lives of workers, we have nevertheless been able to draw up this report on the situation of rights in

Mr President, the Renewable Energy Directive is perhaps one of the most important pillars of European policy, not only at the energy level, but also at the climate, economic and industrial level, and it even determines issues of geopolitics and strategic autonomy. The responsibility to have a directive that is powerful and fit for today's needs is therefore crucial. Even more so at a time of drift

Mr President, imagine that in the midst of the pandemic the European Commission would have come here to propose a strategy against vaccination. Well, that is precisely what they defend with the new taxonomy. Although the scientific consensus points out that the vaccine to curb climate change is the abandonment of fossil fuels, they want gas and nuclear energy to be green energies by decree. It exc

Madam President, let us be clear: European institutions are racist. EU migration policies are racist. Border control is done with a racist bias. Only in this way is it understood that, in the face of the same phenomenon, one acts differently. If we have been able to protect several million Ukrainian refugees fleeing horror, nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies that we do not do exactly the same

Madam President, bad news: It is not enough to win rights on paper, we must remain permanently mobilized, and it is that the right to abortion had been armored for fifty years in the United States, ensuring that women decided on their bodies legally and safely; The sentence that is at risk today protected life, how public health or education protect life, how life is defended by the new sexual and

Mr President, the use of Pegasus is an unprecedented scandal: A private company protected by the Israeli regime is marketing with impunity a weapon of mass destruction of democracy, a weapon of mass destruction of political confidence. In my country even the telephone number of the President of the Government has been spied on. In addition, that of other political, social leaders, journalists, law
