What Jonas spoke about.

Mr President, thank you. Colleagues! Commissioner Hoekstra. In the run-up to the UN Climate Change Conference in Antalya, the EU's message must be clear: Emissions must be reduced. What has been promised must be kept. It also means that the European Union must keep its promises, its promises of funding, but also its promises of reducing emissions. But here, here, Europe has a growing credibility p

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your Russia is behaving increasingly violently and indiscriminately. This applies to the indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine, and increasingly also to ships, as in the Black Sea. This is an escalation, but it's nothing new. In the Baltic Sea, we have seen a series of Russian provocations in recent years, ranging from disrupting our G

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your The Russian who wanted to vote against Putin and against Russia's illegal war against Ukraine had no one to vote for in the so-called Duma elections. Instead, young Russians vote with their feet. In a single week in August, more than 100,000 Russians crossed the border into Georgia. We know, and they know, that mobilization in Russia is now likel

Mr President, thank you very much. Our support for Ukraine has never been as important as it is now. We see how Russia is terrorizing Ukraine's civilian population and trying to damage its infrastructure in the run-up to winter. We need to strengthen Ukraine's air defences. We need to give them all the support they need. But the Russian aggression is also a sign of weakness, because on the ground

Madam President, three weeks ago, my colleague Hanna Gedin and I were due to travel on a parliamentary mission to the Israeli‑occupied West Bank and to East Jerusalem. We were scheduled to meet with Save the Children and the EU mission, visit refugee camps, and meet with Palestinian as well as Israeli human rights organisations. Although we had obtained authorisation to enter Israel, we were denie

Mr President, thank you very much. Serbia is at a real crossroads. On the one hand, Vučić’s authoritarian right-wing government actively oppressing the opposition – a regime fundamentally marked by corruption and abuse of power. We see the rule of law being undermined. We see the freedom of the media being curtailed. On the other side is one of Europe's most dynamic, interesting and well-organised

Madam President, thank you very much. I would also like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Mikser, for a good report. Several of the points that were important to us on the left are included, such as fighting poverty in Moldova, continuing the fight against corruption, supporting investment in renewable energy and for real energy independence, and protecting the environment. Overall, it is a good report.

I think there are two different structures that can coordinate the work against the shadow fleet. One is the European Union, in which case the Commission must take an initiative. The other is that the countries around the Baltic Sea do it together. Both roads are open as I see it. The United States cannot be trusted in NATO. Trump has failed Ukraine. So I think we have to expect to do this ourselv

Mr President, thank you very much. This is a good report which will receive a great deal of support in this House in the vote. It is particularly positive that several of our amendments are included: on labour and trade union rights, on renewable energy, on health care. But it can still get even better. The writings about the shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea should be tightened up. Each country is t

Madam President, thank you very much. I appreciate the great unity that exists in this House with regard to Lukashenka's regime. The case of Aliaksandra Pulinovich is particularly outrageous – to sentence a young girl, 16 years old, to draconian prison terms for saying the obvious: that Russia’s war against Ukraine is an illegal aggression and that Belarus is co-responsible for the aggression once

Mr President, thank you very much. Forty-five years ago, Daniel Ortega overthrew the Somoza dictatorship. Many hoped for a better future for the Nicaraguan people. But we can see that all the promises made at that time have been betrayed. Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. The total ban on abortion puts the lives and health of thousands of Nicaraguan women at risk. Daniel

Mr President, thank you very much. If one is to believe the Chinese self-image and propaganda, it is a country where minorities are respected and where areas such as Xinjiang Province, Tibet and Inner Mongolia have autonomy. In practice, however, things are going in the opposite direction. In Tibet, the ability of Tibetans to express their culture and their freedom of religion is restricted. In In

Madam President, thank you very much. After four years of full-scale war, Ukraine is fighting back against the aggressor with increasing force. The war is going badly for Russia, but let us give Ukraine our full support financially, politically and militarily. Let us tighten sanctions and finally put an end to Russian oil exports via the shadow fleet that is financing the war. This is the path to

Mr President, thank you very much. On two points, there is reason to express strong criticism of how the European Commission has handled the budget. This applies to the very rapidly increasing indebtedness and cost of debt, and to the management of the recovery fund, the RRF. I understand that we need to borrow money to support Ukraine. There is no doubt about it, but it is only a minor part of th

Mr President, thank you very much. Democrats like to talk about anti-corruption. What if you swept in front of your own door? In Sweden, you have an aid foundation that year after year fails on its financial reports. You don't know where the money went. It's about millions of Swedish kronor. Last time you managed to get another 25 million SEK. Not because you have reported where the money has gone

Madam President, thank you very much. Developments in Slovakia are extremely worrying. There are major attacks on the rule of law. We see clear signs of corruption, and we see a number of examples of misuse of EU funds. This is nothing new. In 2023, the special prosecutor’s office in the country was abolished. Then, the following year, this Parliament chose to speak out very clearly against the at

Madam President, thank you very much. Of course, Hungary should not have a single euro from the Safe Fund. Hungary simply does not meet the fundamental requirements of the rule of law and democracy enshrined in the EU Treaties. They should not have money from the Safe Fund and from any other funds either. It's that simple. Hungary is the most corrupt country in the EU. We know, from a variety of e

Madam President, thank you very much. We welcome this report on the conditionality mechanism. The report's proposal means that its application would be more effective, more legally certain and more powerful. We know that where the independence of the rule of law is compromised, where the media and free debate are curtailed, the next step is the misuse of EU funds and the protection of corruption.

Madam President, thank you very much. The European Commission and the right-wing in this House seem to want our automotive industry to step back into the future. It's not gonna work. The European automotive industry has already made several major mistakes. Many manufacturers have focused on expensive, large models that ordinary income earners can't afford. Investment in electric power, which is th
