What Erik spoke about.

Thank you very much. It will be three years since the conflict in Ukraine began, and half of this plenary has been repeating the same military propaganda, the same moralisation and the same blind calls for a few billion more and Ukraine to defend itself for three years. Colleagues, it's time to wake up from your childhood dreams. Ukraine cannot defend itself, and by arming it endlessly, you are on

I think if we change our course, then there will be no Ukraine anymore. And so I ask you, and I am very sorry to put it on this topic in this debate, because I know it's not what this debate is about. But I ask you if there is overwhelming support in this House, in the Commission, in the Council, in our population to still support Ukraine, which there is by all metrics, by all statistics, by all p

You picked it up, you thought. The blue card set in your speech, but this is very an connected topic that we have ideologically blind and in the Ukraine the light band. Yes, as in this case, we will not get advice on Ukraine. We do not listen to the people who warned us that this legislation would turn out, how it turned out, and that we would have to correct it. What is currently happening in Ukr

The National interest in the cover in the shadow of. The actual European solution through. The people represent this time and the member states state in the rest of all European people. Kaliňák. Ladies and gentlemen, once again we are faced with the negative consequences of the rules that we have invented ourselves in waste legislation. You are stubbornly pursuing green goals, systematically ignor

Madam President, European industry is not competitive today because we have twice as much gas as the US and China. According to the Commission, it is therefore necessary to switch to electricity in production, heating and transport. It is three times more expensive than gas today. The massive construction of renewable power plants, i.e. solar panels and wind turbines, is supposed to save us. Howev

Madam President. We have been talking here for an hour about urgent measures to save jobs in the automotive industry, which has always been one of the pillars of the European economy. However, in recent years, Stellantis has had to suspend routes to Poissy, Eisenach and other locations. Audi has closed its plant in Brussels. Mercedes is discontinuing production of its electronic GLC in Bremen. And

Madam President, that is incredible! The prime minister of a member state of the European Union has been threatened by a dictator without a mandate, that his army will visit him at home only because he makes a sovereign policy and defends the interests of Hungary, to which he has not only a right, but also a mandate. And this institution, these MEPs, refused to even discuss it. Month after month,

Mr President, the moment is approaching when Brussels will fully launch the so-called migration pact, which will change the face of our civilization forever from June this year. This pact is not a solution, but an absolute betrayal of Europeans. Instead of the immediate closure of external borders and mass deportations, the Commission is imposing mandatory solidarity, the redistribution of illegal

Mr President, dear colleagues, when we talk about security, we simply cannot look past the Yemen. Emirates have pulled out from the south. Even their last counterterrorism units are now gone. That has created a dangerous vacuum in the world's most vital shipping artery. The Red sea carries our energy, our trade routes, our supply chains. For years, Emirates stabilise the south and fought ISIS. The

I think the answer lies in where Ms Urszula von der Leyen came from, what position she held before and what scandals are associated with her, corruption, both in terms of her minister of defence within Germany and in terms of that pfizergat, I will call it in brief. So I think that there is as if to see where the wind is blowing from and why, despite the surveys, which clearly, as you say, confirm

Mr President, President von der Leyen, we are here again and you are proposing to do exactly the same as you have done in the last three years. Sending another tens of billions of euros to a country where one corruption scandal after another comes to light, where the economy is dominated by oligarchs and where our billions of euros are lost without any visible effect on the battlefield. You're doi

This Parliament has the magical power to overcome every session and to invent an unnecessarily different debate than the last one. Instead of expressing support and appreciation for the Hungarian government for an international success that can take us one step closer to peace, we are attacking again in the most bizarre way. A completely anonymous article with no evidence or witness that alleged e

Mr. Zdechovský, you were part of the so-called. fact-finding mission, That's why I have to ask you: Why is your message full of lies? And I will choose one specific, which is absolutely serious for me: Why do you claim that Slovakia does not use the Arachne control system, even though you know very well that Slovakia is one of the first countries to make full use of this service? Unlike the govern

Madam President, after the last meeting of European leaders with Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy, I have read a good statement. Europe will spend the $100 billion it does not have to buy weapons from America, which it will not get to arm the soldiers that Ukraine already lacks. Unfortunately, the Commission also applies this completely detached approach to competitiveness and economic growth. The g

Mr President, if anyone needs our protection today, it is not journalists, but democracy and the will of the people. Over the past decade, the vast majority of journalists have completely surrendered to their fundamental task of informing in an objective and balanced manner and have preferred political activism. From a position of soft power, they began to dictate to people what they could think,

Mr President, thank you very much. I will admit that I did not prepare anything for this speech, because I was very interested in what I will learn here in this hall. I have to say, I was in awe. I will tell you a secret that some of my older colleagues may not be aware of, but it is no longer 2003. Your stories don't work again. You know, yes, as authorities, you can convince voters that what is

If you think free media is funded by the CIA, congratulations on that. And propaganda, which was, for example, 1956 when it was this radio that was spreading propaganda to Hungarian citizens that, if they tried to protest, they would come to their aid from the West, and it did not happen, and they themselves acknowledged that it was deliberate propaganda. So no, I don't think free media is funded

Mr President, Radio Free Europe has been conceived since its inception as an American tool of anti-communist propaganda. It was an influential operation during the Cold War that was funded directly by the CIA. I therefore find it absolutely absurd that here today, when any communist regime is thousands of kilometres away from us, we are debating whether Europe should not take over the financing of

Mr President, three years ago in the EU we decided to cut off Russian gas. However, we achieved a 53% decrease in imports compared to 2021 not through innovation or diversification, but through the ritual sacrifice of our industry. Three times the energy prices drove the chemical giant BASF from Germany to China, shut down the furnaces of the largest steel producer ArcelorMittal in Germany and Spa

I'll wait for the master. It is terrible that, at a time when the whole world is pressuring for diplomacy and peace negotiations, we are speaking in the European Parliament for two and a half hours about armaments and the need for some sort of military federalisation. For me completely off, but a question to you. We are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars for arms as a way to help Ukrain

I signed up for a simple reason. I haven't read anything more nonsense than the title in my life, and the debate so far has absolutely confirmed my feeling. If you were to say that the cooperation of the Conservatives with the far right threatens the rights of minorities, migrants or the LGBT community, I would say okay. But Europe's competitiveness? Are you aware of the irony of you saying that?

on behalf of the PPE-DE Group. - (DE) Madam President, colleagues, it is frustrating to see how many of you are Democrats only as long as you have power over information. Until recently, you didn't mind when the rich bought the media because it wasn't our evil conservative-national oligarchs who did it, but your good progressive-globalist philanthropists. Until recently, you didn't mind being supp
