Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 15-16 October 2026 (debate)
General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2027 – all sections (debate)
Mr President, Fighting climate change in The Gambia. One – quote – Tuntenball in Graz. Or more and more office buildings for the EU in the most remote countries around the world. The European taxpayer has been funding all these decadence projects, to a large extent for decades. But instead of acknowledging the achievements and contributions of citizens, there are still humiliations and humiliation
One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Madam President, Our inner cities are the heart of Europe – squares with historic facades, town halls, weekly markets, Christmas markets and the public space where our culture is lived. This culture is characterized by the Enlightenment, the Western heritage and bourgeois order. Many people obviously don't care about this heritage. MEP Radtke, for example, says about his home town Wattenscheid: Th
France, Italy and Belgium: Latest anti-democratic violence by radical far-left groups, implications on public order and the legitimate right to protest (debate)
Thank you, Madam, for allowing the question. These are violent excesses that are currently taking place in France. And it is always pretended to be student protests. But these situations take place several times in France. Similar events take place, for example, on New Year's Eve or when Algeria, for example, wins in football. So in this respect: How do you justify this basic willingness to violen
Findings and recommendations of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (debate)
Council positions at first reading (Rule 64)
Madam President, I refer to Rule 10(1) of the Rules of Procedure in conjunction with the principle of democracy in Article 2 TEU. Green MP Daniel Freund has already called for the potential freezing of EU funds in the case of an AfD government before forming a government in Saxony-Anhalt. He justified this, among other things, by the fact that a worse position in the form of sanctions could lead t
EU’s response and preparedness to protect people against recurring heatwaves and upcoming wildfires (debate)
One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Mr President! I refer to Rule 10(4) of our Rules of Procedure. Mr Brandstätter has just said about the journalist Köppel that it is a ‘type of journalism’. I just said in my speech that journalists across Europe are currently being beaten up. And it is precisely this degrading way of denigrating opposition journalists that is inhumane. I'm asking you to investigate this, too.
One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Mr President! What we witnessed on the fringes of the AfD ‑ Party Congress in Erfurt was an unprecedented, brutal attack on press freedom in Germany. Journalists from Apollo News were chased through the streets by a left-wing mob, beaten up and kicked into hospital. At the press conference of the far-left alliance resisting This violence is legitimized. O‑Ton of left-wing extremists: Fascists with
Financial activities of the European Investment Bank Group – annual report 2025 (debate)
As I said before, any aspect that we need to preserve is always an economic one – that is our basic priority. And you said quite rightly: If we have given economic efficiency within renewable energies, then it is of course legitimate to do so. As an AfD, we have never excluded renewable energies per se; Of course, you can disagree, but that is not correct, but from the moment when renewable energi
Financial activities of the European Investment Bank Group – annual report 2025 (debate)
Dear Mr. Colleague, I am sorry to disappoint you, I have not taken any legislation forward here. So, if you think that I have spoken against a certain letter that explicitly emerges from my speech, then you are welcome to mention that in your question. I have already said: For us, economic efficiency is the central momentum. This does not in itself exclude that we can also make investments in rene
Financial activities of the European Investment Bank Group – annual report 2025 (debate)
Madam President, The report highlights the growing role of the European Investment Bank within the European Union. With a balance sheet total of around EUR 600 billion and a record volume of EUR 100 billion in financing, the EIB has become one of Europe's most influential financial institutions. However, this expanded role must remain firmly enshrined in Article 309 TFEU. The EIB was created as an
Preparation of the European Council (joint debate)
The role of the EU in efforts for peace and stability throughout the Middle East after the announced deal between the US and Iran (debate)
Madam President, It is interesting how difficult it is for this House to speak positively about the agreement that is to be expected on Friday; Because in the end, no matter how you feel about it, it's a path to peace. I'll also tell you why you find it so difficult to speak positively about it: We have to ask ourselves what influence we have had on this. What influence have the EU's protagonists
Financing EU priorities in a sustainable, predictable and resilient way through a new EU own resource from the online gambling and betting services sector (debate)
Madam President, Anyone who disregards the principle of subsidiarity disregards their citizens. Let me explain why: At European level, this principle states that the EU can only intervene in those areas that do not fall within its exclusive competence, i.e. when the policy objectives cannot be achieved by the Member States themselves. I firmly believe that today's Commission proposal does not help
Advancing towards a care society: addressing the gender care gap (debate)
Thank you very much, Mr. Colleague. I will speak in German. I think we all agree that everyone who cares deserves our appreciation for it, that it's mostly women who do it. However, I would like to mention one aspect: Namely, I will refer to German values – forgive me – but when we talk about repair services in houses, a German institute has found that 80% of these repair services, i.e. voluntary
Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union in 2024 and 2025 (debate)
Mr President! spying on the opposition by the secret service. Exclusion of opposition from mayoral elections. Exclusion of opposition members from the civil service. Exclusion of opposition members from legal professions. Attacks on disapproved media. Denial of adequate premises to allow the opposition to hold group meetings. Funding of associations and organizations with the aim of carrying out p
Joint debate - Discharge 2024 (joint debate)
Mr President! The double standards of the Greens are intolerable. If the Federal Spokeswoman of the German Green Youth calls for a possible AfD government to be combated by force of arms in case of doubt, this is considered freedom of expression. If anything happens in Hungary that our moralists do not like, Mr Freund calls for the alleged rule of law to be examined in the discharge of the budget.
Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034 (debate)
Mr President! This interim report on the Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034 is a very similar one. Instead of focusing on your actual tasks, this Parliament is earnestly calling for an even larger, even more centralised and even more expensive financial framework. From 2021 to 2027, this figure was around EUR 1 074 billion, and if we take this as a reference, we now have a doubling of aroun
One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Madam President, What we are currently experiencing in Rhineland-Palatinate is a shocking signal for the state of democracy and the rule of law in Germany and throughout Europe. Following a strong election result by the AfD in the last state election in March, the rules are suddenly changed – exactly where the opposition is supposed to exercise control: in Parliament. The hurdles for the establish
Savings and Investments Union: time to accelerate the process to deepen market integration (debate)
EUCO and situation in the Middle East (joint debate)
European Semester for economic policy coordination 2026 - European Semester for economic policy coordination: employment and social priorities for 2026 (joint debate)
Madam President, The Commission's core task is to coordinate economic policy. However, this report seeks to extend Brussels' powers to include financial surveillance and structural reforms. The European Semester will be linked to climate action and social policy. However, this interference with the national areas goes far beyond the mandate of the EU ‑ Commission under its own treaties. Anyone who
Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)
Thank you very much, Mr. Colleague. You have pointed out very well that remigration is an important pillar of the solution to the problem. But I would like to return to the supply side, to another aspect: It is true that many new buildings are so expensive because the construction costs are so high, and one of the major drivers is energy prices and thus a homemade problem for the European Union.
