What Fabienne spoke about.

The overwhelming majority of European heads of state were outraged by the anti-LGBTIQ law introduced by Viktor Orbán in Hungary. Rightly so. This law goes against the well-being of children by censoring content on homosexuality or LGBTIQ rights. I welcome the reaction of most Heads of State and Government, but that should not end there. I call on the Council to trigger Article 7 against this illib

Madam President, High Representative Kaja Kallas, the International Criminal Court cannot stand alone in the face of the attacks on it. US sanctions against the Court and its magistrates pose a serious threat to the independence of international justice. By attacking the Court, it is the rule of law that is being attacked. European leaders reaffirmed their commitment to take all necessary measures

Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, this week we will adopt the European Parliament's position on the 2027 budget. This is the last budget of our current multiannual financial framework. Negotiations for this, the current financial framework, were successfully concluded during the Covid period. But we did not suspect that after the pandemic Europe would face war, when Ru

Madam President, the violence and degradation that France, Belgium and Italy have experienced in recent days is intolerable and must be punished. There is no justification for looting shops, attacking public facilities, verbally and physically threatening elected officials, firefighters, police and gendarmes. This violence is a direct attack on our democracies. Attacks also in the form of foreign

Mr President – dear Roberts Zīle –, Madam Vice-President – dear Henna Virkkunen – the recent blockages of access to the most advanced artificial intelligence models have been a wake-up call for Europe. Within hours, we discovered how much our security, our administrations, our businesses depend on technologies that we don't control. The European Cybersecurity Action Plan, which we are delighted to

Madam President, there was misbehaviour because there was a lot of drinking and the corresponding behaviour.

The misbehaviour was explained in the French word 'beuveries'. They drank a lot, a lot, a lot and had ...

Madam President, Commissioner Virkkunen, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome this debate on cybersecurity and the European Union’s preparedness for advanced artificial intelligence systems, a crucial issue for our security and sovereignty. AI is both a great opportunity and a major challenge when it comes to cybersecurity. If we want to protect our infrastructure, our institutions and our ci

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the rule of law is not a gadget. Respect for fundamental democratic principles is the thread that unites all European countries. This is the basis, ladies and gentlemen, of our common project, it is the assurance of the democratic power of Europe. Today, the rule of law is a fragile achievement. This is reflected in your annual report, Commissioner

Mr President, Commissioner McGrath, ladies and gentlemen, Madam rapporteur, the European Convention on Human Rights was conceived and drafted here in Strasbourg. At the end of the Second World War, the ambition of the European countries is clear: Establish safeguards to prevent the repetition of the monstrous violations of fundamental rights observed during the conflict. It is on this ambition tha

Mr President, Commissioner, dear Piotr Serafin, ladies and gentlemen, we take a strong, responsible, ambitious and realistic position in this report. Our citizens are asking Europe to do more, not less. There is not a single area that requires less EU funding. That is why we need to invest: for our strategic autonomy in key sectors, to support industries, youth, research, health, culture and the e

Madam President, dear Sabine Verheyen, Commissioner, dear Hadja Lahbib, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin by pointing out that I have a problem with the French translation, the term 'therapy' for conversion. These practices are not therapies at all. As you yourself have said, Commissioner, therapy is treatment. But here, there is nothing to look after. "Sexual orientati

Dear President Martin Hojsík, Commissioner Henna Virkkunen, ladies and gentlemen, yes, we have a solution to take back control of migration. It exists, it is European: it is the implementation of the Pact on Migration and Asylum swiftly and without delay – and I thank you, Commissioner, for clearly supporting it, and bearing all your burdens, for its real implementation. But this pact cannot be ef

Madam President, Mr President, dear Nikos Christodoulides, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Asylum Migration Pact is due to enter into force in June 2026. This pact will allow for accelerated border procedures, rapid registration of asylum applications, harmonised decisions between Member States and effective returns for people who are not expected to remain in Europe. I am pleased, Mr Pres

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of my group, Renew Europe, I am firmly opposed to the text on safe third countries. Let's be clear: this text does not aim to improve our asylum system; we will return people to countries with which they have no connection, without examining their asylum application. We are escaping our responsibilities and relocating our values. The right to asylum

Mr President – dear Martin Hojsík –, Commissioner – dear Piotr Serafin –, Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the Commission for its reply. We are four groups - EPP, S&D, Greens and Renew - that have written to him and we take note of his constructive proposals on several points, such as the role of the regions, the changes on the CAP, the role of Parliament, as my colleag

Madam President, Commissioner, dear Magnus Brunner, Madam President, dear Marie Bjerre, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome yesterday's publication of the first annual report on the situation of asylum and migration in Europe, which will be over the past month. This is an important step in the concrete implementation of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. I share the analyses presented, and together

Mr President, Commissioner, dear Magnus Brunner, ladies and gentlemen, Europe is facing a profound transformation in its security environment. I think we all say it here, the threats are multiplying, strengthening: terrorism, organised crime, hybrid threats, foreign interference. Protecting our citizens is a European priority. We need to strengthen police and judicial cooperation at EU level. This
