Continuous Belarusian hybrid attacks against Lithuania (debate)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Since 2021, the eastern border of the European Union has been subject to coordinated hybrid actions of the regimes in Minsk and Moscow. These are not isolated incidents, but planned operations against the security of the whole of Europe. Let me remind you that it was the government of the United Right that built the barrier on the border with Belarus, effectively reducing the

Escalation of Houthi attacks and implications for regional security (RC-B10-0482/2026)
Mr President, thank you very much. Let us have no illusions. The Houthis are not just Yemen's problem. It is also a threat to international shipping and the security of the West. Reports of Russian reporting of ship traffic to the Houthi show how Moscow can use the destabilisation of the Red Sea for its own purposes. Shipowners, crews and global trade are affected. Russia, on the other hand, may g

Escalation of Russian strikes in the EU, particularly on Black Sea shipping, threatening human life, regional stability and food security (RC-B10-0476/2026)
Mr President, thank you very much. Russia is no longer only waging war against Ukraine. It consciously extends the threat area to the whole of Europe. Attacks on Black Sea ports and merchant ships threaten people's lives, regional stability and freedom of navigation. They are not accidental incidents, but part of a strategy to intimidate and test the limits of our response. The Black Sea is also a

Erasmus+ programme 2028–2034 (A10-0257/2026 - Bogdan Andrzej Zdrojewski)
Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Erasmus should serve students, pupils, teachers and young people. In the meantime, the political priorities of Brussels are becoming more and more prominent. The budget of the programme is expected to increase to more than 40 billion euros. The question is: how much of this money will actually go to young people? Many students receive schola

Lifting of EU sanctions on the import of Russian sable fur (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Ukrainian children are killed under Russian bombs. Families lose loved ones and cities turn into ruins. And you're lifting sanctions on Russian football fur imports. Really? Is luxury for the rich more important than consistency with the aggressor-murderer-state? Italy and Greece sought this exception in the interests of the fur industry. But where are the limits
Madam President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, I do not support the decision of the Trump administration to lift sanctions against Russia. Moscow cannot be given further opportunities to finance this cruel war. But, ladies and gentlemen, let us not allow this decision to obscure a problem that the European Union is unable to tackle effectively – its own inconsistency. Europe has been

European support to defend the International Criminal Court (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Today we are discussing European support for the International Criminal Court. But its credibility is determined not only by declarations, but above all by its effectiveness and speed. In 2015, I submitted to the Court a report on Russian war crimes in Ukraine. It was not until seven years later that this material was included in the investigation into the crimes
Today, on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, it is worth asking how it is possible that in a country that boasts of economic success, millions of citizens cannot afford a decent life? Donald Tusk talks about success. Meanwhile, over 2 million Poles live in extreme poverty, and about 15 million below the social minimum, 15 million. The government increases the deficit, multiplies

The cases of Ali Karimli, Anar Mammadli and other political prisoners in Azerbaijan
Madam President, thank you very much. The vote on psychosocial risks and stress in the workplace is behind us. Stress at work in Poland today has an additional dimension. It's a fear of whether this place of work will exist tomorrow. Since the Civic Coalition came to power in autumn 2023, this fear has increased dramatically. 50% of Polish employees experience severe time pressure or work overload
Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Strengthening the health resilience of partner countries cannot only mean transferring more money from Europe. Assistance must respond to people's real needs and strengthen self-reliance. Africans need sustainable systems, hospitals, diagnostics, medical personnel and real access to treatment. Instead of pumping more funds into individual, private
(beginning of speech outside the microphone) Russian war crimes in Ukraine. But what about the crimes of Ukrainian nationalists during World War II? What about children, women, old people murdered only because they were Poles? Thrown into nameless pits without a cross, name, respect. Genocide perpetrated by the OUN and the UPA in the name of a nationalist ideology modeled on German Nazism. More th

International Day of Play: promoting children’s right to play (debate)
Mr President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Children have a fundamental right to play, joy and carefree growing up, but they also have the right to live a safe life without wars and falling bombs, as happens in Ukraine, Palestine or Lebanon. Children have the right to learn, to grow up in stable families, to love, care and security. They have the right to grow up in accordance with the values o

Deteriorating situation of political prisoners in Belarus, in particular the case of Aliaksandra Pulinovich (B10-0294/2026, B10-0324/2026, B10-0325/2026, B10-0326/2026, B10-0327/2026, B10-0328/2026) (vote)
Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, The case of Andri Yunus and Muhammad Rosidi shows how dangerous the situation is when the state begins to treat activists, journalists and the opposition as enemies. Europe has similar problems and we need to be clear: There is no consensus on political violence. There is no consent to the intimidation of citizens, the instrumental use of se

Situation of women and girls in Afghanistan following the Taliban's adoption of the Criminal Procedure Code for Courts
Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Since the Taliban took power in 2021, Afghanistan has become a prison for women and girls. They have been deprived of their right to education, work, free movement and a dignified life. Moreover, on January 4 this year, the Taliban quietly introduced new laws that legalize slavery, corporal punishment for children, punishment for lack of pra
