What Mirosława spoke about.

Ladies and Gentlemen, women's organisations estimate that more than 800,000 women in Poland experience violence every year. Unfortunately, the scale of this phenomenon is still growing. These figures are not just cold facts - behind them lies drama, suffering, fear, and sometimes life lost forever. As the European Union, we must support all actions that combat violence against women. We must step

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Let's ask ourselves the basic question: where does Europe do key purchases? Well, where? In China. Where do we buy magnets, special materials for electric motors, for phones, for cars, for drones that protect our sky? Well, in China. And you know what, ladies and gentlemen? It's time to stop it. For 100 magnets 98 we buy in China. That is wh

Madam President, I'm sorry. Russia is trying to set fire to our European home and is doing so ever closer to our borders. On Sunday, a Russian drone hit a train going from Kiev to Warsaw, two kilometers from the Polish border. At night, NATO fighters knocked down a drone over Lithuania. And someone else asks, is this our war? I look to the far right and the Confederacy. Russia is testing Europe. P

Mr President, thank you very much. I'll say this: Sudan is our business. Sudan is our business, because when hunger becomes a weapon, what comes up? Migration. I heard two bad answers about it today. The first is the leftist dream that it is enough to open the door and the world will work itself out. Well, it's not gonna work out. We've had examples of this before. The second answer: Migration is

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Poland recognized Ukraine's independence as the first country in the world on December 2, 1991. We did it because we knew that there is no safe Poland and Europe without a free Ukraine. But there is no free Ukraine without the support of Poland and the whole Union. That's why we're clear: ‘Yes’ to Ukraine’s membership of the European Unio

Madam President, I'm sorry. You know what? Bill Clinton may not always have been right, but his famous slogan 'Economy, fool!' fits into today's discussion as a relief. Closing the care gap is fairness for women, but it is also very beneficial for the economy. Every day, women around the world devote 16 billion hours to unpaid care work. 16 billion! It is known - children, caring for the elderly,

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I'll get right to the point. The fact that someone in the European Union is thinking about leaving the veto is the fault of specific right-wing politicians. Whose is it? It's the populists' fault: Fidesz and PiS. What have you done? You don't deserve to be trusted. Orbán blocked funds for the Polish army. He vetoed sanctions against Russia. He has been violating

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all, I would like to thank you very much for this debate, for the fact that we were able to discuss here and differ from the right to the left. This is the essence of our democracy. But it is also worth remembering that it did not happen by itself that a lot of women for many years had to fight for these rights. These rights were wo

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, More than 100 years ago, the inhabitants of St. Petersburg took to the streets with simple slogans: ‘Bread!’, ‘Peace!’ and ‘Down with war!’ fought for dignity, justice and the right to a normal life. A century has passed, and these slogans still sound familiar. Although we live in the 21st century, many women's problems remain unresolved. An

Madam President, I'm sorry. I just want to be clear: we keep coming back to this artificial division:  excellencescientific excellence, or wideningequal opportunities between countries, as if it were a choice, as if one excludes the other. That's not true. Everyone who is close to science and innovation knows this. When, at a university or research facility, ideas are outstanding and inf

Madam President, I'm sorry. The use of deepfakes and disinformation poses a serious threat to the stability and security of Europe as a whole. Third countries and our enemies seek to undermine public trust in democratic institutions, to divide society and to undermine European unity. Attacks are often subtle, persistent and tailored to the vulnerabilities of each country, making them difficult to

Mr President, thank you very much. If we stop helping Ukraine, we can all start learning Russian. It is Kai Kallas' words that clearly show how serious the situation is today. Therefore, mobilising European funds for security and defence is a necessity, not a choice. Europe should have built its defence beforehand, protecting not only its citizens, but also key critical infrastructure. The most im

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Friends and colleagues! No more funding for Putin's war machine. Russian oil in our cars or gas in our homes are Russian soldiers on the territory of Ukraine, soldiers who murder, rape and rob. Every drop of this oil has the smell of innocent people's blood. Europe cannot talk about values and solidarity if it still allows the money f

Mr President, thank you very much. Friends and colleagues! When I look at this room today, from left to right, I have the impression that for some, issues of equality are still the inventions of women who have imaginary problems. I want to be clear: no, these are not fictions. It is the daily experience of millions of women at work, in politics, in private and public life. Unequal wages, economic

Madam President, I'm sorry. Europe is ageing faster than it was able to prepare for. Across the European Union, people aged 65 and over now make up 21.6% of the population, and this share continues to grow. This is a challenge that requires a common response in labour policy, in health and in intergenerational solidarity. Polish society is ageing the fastest in the European Union, which is why we

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Until recently, few of us thought that disruptions in supply chains thousands of miles from Europe could literally stop production. The pandemic has shown us that a cyberattack in another time zone can immobilize a hospital in our district, that from day to day there may be a shortage of basic medicines. These are not scenarios from the f
