Madam President, the protection of human life and freedom of navigation is a non-negotiable obligation. However, international law is not applied selectively. It binds all states and all warring parties. Last May, a Ukrainian unmanned boat carrying explosives was spotted in Greek waters in Lefkada. The terror inflicted on the island was great. On August 28, a Turkish military drone violated Greek

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Madam President, the founders of Europe were idealists and visionaries. Today's leadership consists of indifferent administrators, administrators who look only at the now. At most until the next ballot box. Europe's vigilant leaders today consider it a good idea to implement a blockade against the National Rally and the Patriots' political group. Can you imagine shorter-sighted politics than this?

Defending European democracy and the integrity of the European Parliament in light of revelations that an MEP was subject to surveillance by illegal spyware (debate)
Madam President, our democracy is under threat. Illegal surveillance software is directed against the elected representatives of citizens. The revelations about the surveillance of an MEP with illegal software may surprise Europe; Unfortunately, in Greece, public opinion through the journalistic establishment has been reconciled with this image. We are constantly seeing a mechanism for burying cas

Mr President, in Achlada, Florina, another success story of the European green transition is unfolding, which is invisible in the public debate. Residents live next to an active lignite mine with landslides, cracks in their homes and without their relocation having been completed, with absolute indifference from a contractor who enriches himself with European money. And here is the absurdity: Lign
Madam President, as every year, so this year, the Turks celebrated the Fall. Their national narrative: They always have cultures. Then they had Mongolian horses, now they have German, Spanish and other foxes. The Turks are arming Europhilargy and naivety. We hear about the European far right and we really laugh. The history of the CHP, the Turkish comrades of the Socialists and the Greens, is bloo

Mr President, Turkey declares that something happened 100 years ago, so today it must be forgotten. Unfortunately, we have met willing fellow parrots of such paid positions. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not talking about 3.5 million ankles. We are talking about 3.5 million people slaughtered by Turkish Islamism, of whom 353 000 Pontic Greeks, simply because they were Christians. We don't forget it

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Turkey is preparing an invasion against us. Now is Europe's time. Neutrality is complicity and it seems that complicity is bought. Soon we will have revelations about Turkey-gate. Anyone who talks about military cooperation with Turkey must be on the sidelines, dangerous and finger-pointed. The entry of Turkish agents should be prohibited. We know and you know,

EU strategy in response to the ongoing Middle East crisis, its implications on energy prices and the availability of fertilizers (joint debate)
Madam President, the criminal case of the Tempi crime has been artificially fragmented in many cases, exhausting the relatives of the victims and removing the investigation from the objective truth. All these files were opened after the crime. All but one. Contract 717 has been under investigation since 2018. If this project had been completed, the crime that killed 57 people would

Situation of the rule of law in Greece, following the Court decision on Predator spyware (debate)
Madam President, the paradoxes themselves. For years we have been hearing about artificial intelligence that will drive most occupations into unemployment. On the other hand, labor import agreements are being made. So we're importing tomorrow's bonuses? Competitiveness requires economic and social predictability. When, apart from legitimate businesses, there is smuggling of all kinds, what kind of

Situation in Northeast Syria, the violence against civilians and the need to maintain a sustainable ceasefire (debate)
Mr President, the European Union is the only one that in one way or another has open borders. That's because he made the mistake of considering the real Europeans replaceable. He didn't see the people, he saw the numbers. Our societies have literally bled. And the time has come to tell every European government that we are not numbers, we are not replaceable. Europe belongs to its nations. Russia,

Implementation of the rule of law conditionality regime (debate)
Madam President, we are talking about an unjust state, not a European rule of law. It is unfair and extremely anti-European, in the primary sense of the term, to target states that believe in Christian values and defend their culture. Hungary is the number one target as it resists illegal invasion. The European Commission is targeting nation states that want to remain nation states. On the contrar

Mr President, new reductions for agriculture and cohesion. Two pillars supporting farmers and the region. We are seeing huge cuts in agriculture. Basic income support for farmers is reduced by EUR 83.7 million, while the crisis reserve of the Guarantee Fund is cut by EUR 35 million. We see policies that gnaw at the income of our producers. In cohesion, even if there is no nominal reduction, the re

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 23 October 2025 (debate)
Madam President, Mr Nikos Aslanidis was travelling with a delegation of journalists to Istanbul. The Turkish authorities stopped him at the border as an undesirable person and dangerous for the country, without any further justification. This action constitutes a blatant violation of press freedom, confirming Ankara's illiberal conception. Turkey, even today, persecutes anyone who speaks about the

Changing security landscape and the role of police at the heart of the EU’s internal security strategy (debate)
Mr President, before we require police officers to be examples of social behaviour, we must ensure their dignity. The phenomenon of police officers with afternoon jobs to supplement the wages offends common sense and the sense of justice, it strikes at the very core of the rule of law. We are talking about the people who are facing the wave of illegal immigration in the state where smuggling and t
Mr President, our livestock farming is not about Kolonaki and Kifissia. Livestock are our villages. It's our homeland. In Macedonia and Thrace thousands of people are afraid.

Sheep and goat pox is becoming a social wound. The sheepfolds are empt

After 10 years, time to end mass migration now - protect our women and children (topical debate)
Mr President, the dominant political system is indifferent to illegal immigration. The wealthy NGOs do not want such discussions at all; and, of course, the enriched NGOs do not leave those who reproduce their narrative in this way. The truth is, they've actually succeeded. European societies have become unrecognisable within 30 years. Brussels, Athens, Amsterdam, Berlin; When you walk, you forget
