Madam President, you remember, in 2017, when Macron promised us the start-up nation? Nine years later, only 23% of French companies with more than ten employees have fully adopted AI. We are totally picking up compared to other European countries, such as Germany, which is 47%, or Spain, which is 43%. But above all, compared to China or the United States. And precisely, American and Chinese AI rei

Ensuring promotion of clean energy in European policies (debate)
If you had not abandoned nuclear power in 25 years, we would have had many reactors, if there had not been this plan to reduce the share of nuclear power to 50% – precisely under François Hollande –, if there had not been a abandonment of investment, well our reactors could have been extended, Fessenheim would not have been abandoned and our nuclear power plants would be more efficient. So actuall

Ensuring promotion of clean energy in European policies (debate)
Madam President, when we talk about clean energy, as Mr Germain has just done, we are talking here, unfortunately, primarily about wind or solar. So Germany made this bet to the end, by abandoning nuclear outright. We'll take stock: their electricity production emits up to eight times more greenhouse gases than France, and they have electricity almost twice as expensive, because they compensate th

Madam President, it is very good to do this deliberation on the exploitation of minors in organized crime. But what would be even better is that the European Union does not facilitate this exploitation, precisely.

Just for the record, there are already at least 85% of French people aged 18-24 who use AI, 73% of those aged 25-39. In fact, you really have two late trains. The role of politics, th

Supporting democratic resilience in Armenia (debate)
Madam President, frankly, I have rarely seen such an above ground debate. In all your resolutions, it is good, you talk about democratic progress, about the evolution of the rule of law in Armenia, but the real right that the Armenians demand is the right to live simply. The right to live in peace without being threatened every four mornings by their Azerbaijani and Turkish neighbors, as they have

Spain’s large-scale regularisation policy and its impact on the Schengen Area and EU migration policy (debate)
Mr President, two months ago, the Chief of Staff of the French Armed Forces, Fabien Mandon, supported by Emmanuel Macron, said that we had to agree to lose our children in order to go to war. These remarks are shocking, but above all they show a worrying lack of anticipation about what the war of tomorrow will be, and even what it already is. Today, a multi-million-euro tank is destroyed by a simp

Online piracy of sports and other live events: urgent need to address unsolved issues (debate)
Mr President, yes, of course, piracy sites streaming in football are a scourge, and everything must be done to combat them. But the root causes of piracy can be questioned.

But today, if you are a football fan and want to follow the main competitions, you must have at least four different subsc

Mr President, what can you be hypocritical about global warming! You are the main cause. In my country, France, 51% of greenhouse gas emissions are due to imports.
