Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 15-16 October 2026 (debate)
The European Council rightly reaffirms that Russia must bear responsibility for its aggression against Ukraine. I support the use of frozen Russian assets for Ukraine and the creation of an effective redress mechanism. The principle is simple: the aggressor should pay for the damage caused. However, the same principle must apply to everyone. Poland suffered enormous losses as a result of German ag

UN Climate Change Conference 2026 in Antalya, Türkiye (COP31) (B10-0468/2026)
Mr President, thank you very much. I voted against the resolution on the COP31 climate conference in Antalya. The text is clearly ideological. It is based on a green and left-wing narrative that puts climate, environmental and biodiversity objectives at the heart of the next multiannual financial framework and calls for ambitious climate mainstreaming in all Union spending and external action. It

Escalation of Houthi attacks and implications for regional security (RC-B10-0482/2026)
Mr President, thank you very much. I voted in favour of the resolution on the escalation of the conflict in Yemen and the Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia. Negotiations were successful. Many demands of my ECR political group have been successfully pushed through. The resolution unequivocally condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi territory, including deliberate strikes on civilian airports, energy inf

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. I voted in favour of the resolution on Russian attacks on civilian shipping in the Black Sea. Since the negotiations were successful, many of the demands we wanted have been met, the resolution unequivocally condemns the attacks on merchant ships in the exclusive economic zones and territorial waters of Romania and Bulgaria, which have led to the death and disapp

Lifting of EU sanctions on the import of Russian sable fur (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. Sanctions against Russia only make sense if they are consistent, tight and consistent and are enforced. Poland and NATO's eastern flank face particularly high costs of Russian aggression. Poland spends billions of euros on armaments, and eastern Poland, voivodships such as Podlaskie, Lubelskie, Świętokrzyskie and Podkarpackie bear the exceptional costs of Russian

Simplification of certain requirements and procedures for chemical products (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. I wish my colleague Protas would accept my blue card. Maybe he'd clear up my doubts. The European chemical industry is the backbone of many sectors of the European economy. Meanwhile, our companies are increasingly losing competition not because of the quality of products, but because of high energy costs, excessive bureaucracy, but also complicated EU regulation
Mr President, thank you very much. Today, AI is becoming one of the main sources of technological, economic, military and political advantage around the world. That's why we need global rules, but they must apply to all players. Europe cannot impose further restrictions on its own companies, while our global competitors do not impose similar restrictions. We must of course protect citizens from di
I have listened attentively to your speech and I must say that this is another speech that calls for even greater regulation of artificial intelligence. It is indeed significant that the left-hand side of the European Parliament room calls for the regulation of artificial intelligence. Aren't you afraid that you are not afraid that Europe will remain the leader in regulating artificial intelligenc
Today, artificial intelligence is becoming one of the main elements of competitive and economic advantage in the world. As we know, major investments in AI are taking place in the United States and China. Unfortunately, Europe is far, far behind. Now, in your speech, you draw attention to issues of safety, regulation, and so on. Are you not afraid that the European Union will be a place where we r
Mr President, thank you very much. Erasmus+ is one of those European Union programmes that deliver concrete, tangible benefits for citizens. They connect young Europeans through education, language learning and learning about other, new countries. Therefore, in the new perspective, we should strengthen it. But a larger budget must also mean more accessibility and equal opportunities for all young
You underline, like your colleague, that more than one million children, one million new Europeans, were born from the Erasmus programme. This, of course, is an interesting and positive signal of this program. I also have a question: do these million new Europeans have two parents, as you mentioned here, a Member who met his wife during this programme? The idea is for children to be born into fami

Thank you very much for accepting the blue card. You, of course, rightly stress in your speech that journalists must exercise their right to freedom of expression, they must be protected, that citizens have the right to accurate information. You mentioned the countries where the right to freedom of expression is violated. Have you heard about the situation in Poland, where the liberal government o

Escalation of Houthi attacks and implications for regional security (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. The Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas have a joint sponsor. It is a regime in Tehran. It is Iranian money, weapons, support, logistics that serve organizations that destabilize the Middle East and threaten international security. It is not enough to condemn further attacks, as is often the case here in the European Parliament. It is necessary to hit the sources of the

Escalation of Houthi attacks and implications for regional security (debate)
Thank you, Mr President, for accepting the question. I agree with your claims that the European Union should pursue a consistent policy towards the Houthis, but also towards Iran, which is a sponsor of international terrorism. However, you did not mention the role of the United States in your speech. That is why I would like to ask you how do you see the role of the European Union under the leader

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Russia must pay for war crimes and the destruction of Ukraine, and the perpetrators of these crimes must be brought to justice. The frozen Russian assets should serve the reconstruction of Ukraine. It is the aggressor who is to bear the costs of the war, not its victims. The European Commission rightly demands that Russia be held accountable. It also encourages former colonial powers and postcolon

France, Italy and Belgium: Latest anti-democratic violence by radical far-left groups, implications on public order and the legitimate right to protest (debate)
I agree that what is happening today in the European Union, especially in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, is absolutely unacceptable. These hordes of young men, very often from Muslim countries, are devastating Europe. Who is responsible, Honourable Member, for what is happening in the European Union? What leaders, what country and what should the European Union do to eliminate this

The upcoming EU anti-corruption strategy (B10-0423/2026)
Mr President, thank you very much. I voted in favour of the resolution on the future EU anti-corruption strategy, because corruption undermines citizens' trust, weakens the rule of law and democracy, and opens the way to organised crime. It is estimated that the EU costs between EUR 200 billion and one trillion per year. According to the Barometer, 69% of citizens consider corruption to be widespr

Madam President, I'm sorry. The resolution addresses hybrid warfare and the protection of the territorial integrity of the European Union and critical infrastructure necessary for security and defence. I voted in favour of this resolution because hybrid warfare is no longer a theoretical threat. Poland and other countries on NATO's eastern flank face cyberattacks, sabotage, disinformation and inst

Not so long ago, one of the Cuban oppositionists was in Poland. He told me the story that there was supposedly no fuel in Cuba.

How do you explain that? Because a moment ago, you said there was no fue

Urgent need for EU support to Ukraine against Russia’s escalation of its war of aggression (debate)

Today's debate and discussion showed that the European Union must move from discussion to action, in particular on the issue of frozen Russian assets. 200 billion euros, Madam President, is in a bank in Belgium.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Madam High Commissioner, I'm sorry. There should be no doubt about one fundamental point. We must not allow the collapse of Ukraine and the victory of Russia. Any success of Putin or his successors will encourage Moscow to further escalate. And the escalation will not affect abstract Europe, but above all the countries of Central and Central Europe, Poland, Romania, the
