Madam President, this is a practical example of what the fake news and the hate speech of the far right: for working people to live worse. And it has been lived in their own flesh by the citizens of England, Scotland, Wales, who have seen the fake news of the far right led them to a wrong decision: the Brexit. That is why, from here, we very warmly welcome the UK’s approach – increasingly – to the

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Madam President, today 850,000 Valencians have been confined to their homes as a result of the torrential rains and floods that have devastated the Marina Alta and the Safor, thousands of people have been rescued by the emergency services and two people have lost their lives. Two years ago, 233 people died due to the negligence of a government that did not protect them in an episode similar to thi

Madam President, various groups, including ours, have asked you for a minute's silence on Maricarmen's death. You didn't grant it to us. This Parliament cannot look the other way while Maricarmen was expelled from her house for the greed of rentiers, but also for the failure of parliaments like this, in which we have not been able to legislate to protect the most vulnerable, so that everyone is gu

EU strategies for islands, coastal communities and outermost regions (debate)
Madam President, the outermost regions such as the Canary Islands cannot be caught up in European policies designed exclusively from continental Europe. For canaries and canaries, transportation by plane or boat is not a choice, it is a vital necessity: the only connecting route. The great physical distance between the rest of Europe and the Canary Islands and the territorial fragmentation in isla
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, people's patience is over. Listen to the people who are on the street, listen to the people who are camping in Valencia, in Alacant, in Madrid: They can't do it anymore. They can only kill themselves to work to transfer all their salary to the rentiers; They can't stop killing themselves to work to end up renting a tiny little room in a tiny shared flat. Young p
Madam President, today there are 3 million passengers travelling in European airspace, 3 million people who will have more rights thanks to this agreement. This is an agreement that we have reached with different parliamentary groups – practically all of them – with different opinions, putting at last the rights of citizens, the rights of the majority, above the benefits of certain multinationals.
Madam President, look, there are two ways of understanding Europe: the one of the hoaxes and the one that rescues 150 people from 23 countries in a Canarian port. The first one screams louder, the second one works. What happened to MV Hondius is not a miracle, it is what happens when the World Health Organization, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the Member States get to

Political repression and humanitarian situation in Cuba (debate)
I believe what we have clearly said before, that there is a double standard and that, depending on the identity card of the people concerned, it is seen that there are some human rights or others. And that is the indignity of some representatives of the European institutions who do not apply these values to the whole of society and in everything around the planet, but it depends on what ID they ha

Political repression and humanitarian situation in Cuba (debate)
Madam President, Mrs Kallas, in Cuba there are 11,000 children waiting for an intervention in hospitals without light 20 hours a day. And this as a consequence of the illegal blockade of the United States. I'm not saying it, the United Nations is saying it. Thousands of pregnant women are without electricity or water and at risk of losing their children. Look, I have to tell you very clearly: In t

Negative trade-related effects of global overcapacity on the Union steel market (debate)
Mr President, we must put an end to the unfair competition that threatens our industry and destroys quality jobs in Europe. Therefore, measures against overcapacity and also the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism for steel are essential. Thanks to these measures, the price of foreign steel will almost come close to the price of European production, protecting jobs here and al

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, for some Members of the far right - who are just gone because they don't really seem to care about farmers - the problem for farmers is not that they charge little, it is not the big multinationals that squeeze them every day to sell at a loss, it is the evil environmentalists and the evil vegans. Look, stop being ridiculous and put solutions to the real problems that farmers have. I

Supporting democratic resilience in Armenia (debate)
Madam President, in six weeks, Armenians go to the polls. Beyond parties, candidates and debates, there is an invisible fight: disinformation, cyberattacks, foreign money – all of these designed to pull Armenia away from its democratic path. Dear colleagues, the Armenian people have earned our solidarity the hard way: through war and siege, through the forced displacement of the people of Artsakh,
Mr President, six months ago, in the face of Trump's first threat, the president humiliated Europe with the signing of a nefarious agreement in which, before the start of the game, Europeans already lost 15 to 0. In addition, he knelt down pledging to invest European money to buy weapons and fossil fuels from the United States. All in the face of the promise that this agreement would br

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)

Addressing subcontracting chains and the role of intermediaries in order to protect workers’ rights (debate)
Yes, MEP, Mr Oliveira, I fully agree with you: NextGenerationEU deadlines should be increased in order to be able to be implemented, precisely by focusing on and prioritising access to housing. And yes, there should be specific funds for affordable housing, with the conditionality that they are affordable: European funds cannot be created so that they can then be speculated on as housing.

A new action plan to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, look, today in the Spanish State there are more than 600 000 working families living in fear, afraid that their rental contract ending this year will not be extended, but will start asking them not for €700 a month, but for €1300; with fear that, after killing themselves to work all day, they will have to arrive at their home to pack, leave their homes, leave
Madam President, this Summit between the European Union and India is very important in the current context to strengthen multilateralism, cooperation and rules-based relations. But a European Union free trade agreement with India that sets aside fundamental aspects of our values or prevents the full development of our industrial strategy can weaken us. Trade agreements – without falling into colon
Madam President, today we are sending a very clear message, one outward: it is possible, in spaces of mass polarisation in which parliaments have become, to reach agreements between very different forces. And we do this by putting the interests and rights of millions of passengers across Europe above the interests of certain large multinationals to do business with rights with which business canno
