Madam Speaker, learning a trade, finding a job, living with dignity, that is the promise that vocational training must hold for our youth. This report could have brought us together. It was still necessary to respond to concrete difficulties rather than return to your ideological obsessions. You mentioned access to training for young people with disabilities, but with what means? What accompanimen

Madam President, I would like to alert you to the dramatic situation in FerroGlobe. I've been asking you to act for months, but you haven't done anything. Last year, when you were preparing your safeguard measures, we asked you not to abandon silicon metal, but you excluded it. In Savoie, the Montricher plant is shut down and 450 jobs are now at risk in France, 450 jobs and 450 families. While Chi

Mr President, the European Union promised to protect our industry: it is now organising its decline. In France, and particularly in my department, Savoie, the consequences are very real. You have contributed to the closure of DS Smith cardboard with increasingly absurd regulations. While you're imposing constraints on our companies, you're letting unfair Chinese competition hit industrial flagship

Mr President, from Brussels you are imposing more and more standards, more and more constraints, more and more costs. And in the end, it is our companies, our workers and our territories that pay the price for your decisions. In Rumilly, Tefal is weakened by your regulatory offensive against PFAS, conducted without industrial vision and without serious solutions to preserve our jobs. And in my dep

Negative trade-related effects of global overcapacity on the Union steel market (debate)
Mr. Speaker, for years you have been ignoring those who defend our industries, our workers and our factories. But today you finally find out what we have been denouncing for too long: our companies face unfair competition from countries that do not respect our standards, our employees, or even the environmental rules that you impose on our own industries. Even if the protection measures announced

How to secure a sustainable future for the EU livestock sector in light of the need to ensure food security, farmers’ resilience and the challenges posed by animal diseases? (debate)
Mr President, I hear great statements here on the management of animal diseases and the future of European livestock farming. But allow me, ladies and gentlemen, to bring a little reality back to this Chamber. Last summer, in Savoie, faced with lumpy skin disease, our breeders managed alone: alone in the face of disease, alone in the face of loss, alone in the face of emergency. Moreover, I have n

A new action plan to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights (debate)
Madam President, I feel like I have been at the same show for years. Always the same speeches, the same illusions, the same mistakes. We are told about the European Pillar of Social Rights as a great step forward, but how can we talk about social rights when we let our factories and farmers die? You make big statements without a future while our workers and farmers fight to survive in the face of

Mr President, as a Member of the European Parliament for Savoy, I see the damage of your policy in my valley in Maurienne. In Montricher, the Ferroglobe plant is stationary, as in Les Clavaux and Anglefort. It is 450 skilled workers who will be sacrificed, thrown like pawns, in the name of your boundless liberalism. The reality is simple: China floods our market at prices far below our production

Breeders' protests following a lumpy-skin-disease outbreak in France: implications of the EU approach on sanitary and on animal health (debate)
Mr President, this summer the DNC devastated the countries of Savoy: 1 700 animals were slaughtered – the majority of them were healthy. Years of work destroyed, farmers in tears, helpless, seeing their cows eliminated on the spot, on their farms ... and the DNC continues to move forward. Today, it is the farmers of Ariège who see the work of a life wiped out. The French government uses vaccines t

EU strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities post-2024 (debate)
Madam President, yes, there is an urgent need. When Shein sells child pornography dolls, when social networks lock our children into dangerous addictions, everyone understands that we must act. But a key question remains: Who decides? Brussels or states, families, parents? This report creates a digital majority at age 16, imposed through centralized identity verification. And there, three risks ap

World Mental Health Day - addressing the socio-economic factors (debate)
Mr President, in France, 13 million people suffer from a mental disorder. It's almost one in five French people. In our psychiatric hospitals, one in three doctors is vacant. A quarter of our departments no longer have a child psychiatrist. One in two young people with mental disorders is not followed. Adolescent hospitalizations exploded. Services close, families wait, and those who suffer sink i

Summer of heatwaves in the EU: addressing the causes and providing adequate housing and health policies to address record-breaking temperatures (debate)
Mr President, while this summer millions of Europeans were suffocating under unprecedented heatwaves, more than 42° in France, 46° in Spain, and a million hectares went up in smoke, today, finally, you are wondering what you could do. You disguise yourself as firefighters while you are the incendiary. Yes, heat rises because of CO2, but it's no coincidence. It's your treaties, your sickly obsessio

Mr President, this summer, the lumpy bovine skin disease (DNC) ravaged the Pays de Savoie. While you were on vacation, more than 70 homes were declared, whole herds slaughtered, years of work destroyed, farmers in tears, helpless, seeing their healthy cows eliminated on the spot, on their own farm. Why? Because the state has chosen slaughter, while this disease is not deadly, is not transmitted be

Endometriosis: Europe’s wake-up call on the gender health gap (debate)
Mr President, they are not simulating, they are screaming in silence; they collapse in the toilet of a high school, in their workplace, in a bus; they cash in; they are isolated; They blame themselves. No, it is not in their heads. This is what millions of women with endometriosis are going through. Sometimes, yes, they end up giving up: to their jobs, to their motherhood, to their couple, even in

Institutional and political implications of the EU enlargement process and global challenges (debate)
Mr President, who would dare to say that the European Union is a functioning institution? No crisis, whether migratory, health or economic, has been resolved by the Union's assistance. Worse still, on the Green Deal, on the rise of Islamism or on relocations, you have only been an accelerator of chaos. Like the USSR at the end of its life who thought to solve the problems of communism by more comm

Mr President, how can we tolerate, in this Chamber, the imposture of Rima Hassan, an elected official who, with every speech, diverts the Israeli-Palestinian tragedy for ideological and communitarian purposes? Not a word for France, not a word for Europe, only an obsession: import a conflict that is not ours on our soil. His anger is variable geometry. She staged herself as a victim after less tha
Mr. Speaker, the voice that rises to accuse often echoes one's own guilt. Today, you drape yourself in beautiful intentions about mental health at work, but the truth is that you are primarily responsible for the malaise you claim to be fighting. You have broken our industries, sacrificed our jobs on the altar of a savage globalization. You have left our farmers and workers in unfair competition w

Madam President, today justice is being used as a political weapon. The trial of Marine Le Pen, two years before the presidential election, is not neutral. It does not aim at truth, it does not aim at justice: It aims to silence the first political opponent. Requisitions are disproportionate. The calendar speaks for itself. Behind all this, there is the hand of Brussels, always ready to attack tho

Social and employment aspects of restructuring processes: the need to protect jobs and workers’ rights (debate)
Madam President, European industry is dying before our eyes, and it is not an accident: it is a political choice. Decades of free trade and submission to foreign interests have destroyed our factories, sacrificed our workers and ruined our territories. Now you want us to believe that your few adjustments will be enough to repair the damage? Too late, too little: you are only doing a communication

Boosting vocational education and training in times of labour market transitions (debate)
Madam President, you are striving to impose a dogmatic vision inherited from Robert Mundell, who wanted a Europe without borders, where workers and capital are interchangeable, in defiance of peoples and nations. With this in mind, you dream of an Erasmus of work. Today, again, you want to standardize vocational education and training, crushing the sovereignty of States. You don't have to impose c

The need to address urgent labour shortages and ensure quality jobs in the health care sector (debate)
Mr President, once again you claim to have found the miracle solution to the shortage of carers. But you're the one who caused this crisis. For years, your policies of fiscal restraint have strangled our health systems. Result: In France, a 26-year-old woman died in an emergency room due to lack of care. And your answer is always the same: Bring in foreign caregivers as if our nations were just re

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, you have recently taken up the issue of disability, making many declarations and promises as usual. But behind your fine speeches, where are the deeds? Where is the audit of the resources actually mobilised? Where is the assessment of what is meant to improve the lives of people with disabilities? Not a structural reform, not a concrete step forward, nothing.
