SVSpeech

Strengthen global AI governance (debate)

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your Palantir's CEO Alex Karp is like an invented James Bond villain, but unfortunately he's real. He is in close contact with narcissist Trump and assists the criminal Netanyahu in his genocide in Gaza. The spy company Palantir's idea is a world of mass surveillance, where your and my most intimate information is stored in the tech giant's database.

ENSpeech

The Trump administration waiving of sanctions and tariffs required on Russia under the Graham Act (debate)

Madam President, Trump's waiving the sanctions and tariffs on Russia is the fallout from his reckless war on Iran. The pressure on Moscow is now deliberately switched off to buy cheaper diesel at the pump. If the US will not hold the line, who will? Well, Europe must. The EU has already legislated a full ban on Russian gas and LNG by 2027, and we must now eliminate the last drops of Russian oil st

SVSpeech

Affordable Housing Act (debate)

Mr President, thank you. Housing is not a commodity, it is a human right, and the housing shortage is one of the biggest issues of our time. In Madrid, large demonstrations have started after 87-year-old Maricarmen was evicted from his residence. When there are no apartments with reasonable rents, people are limited in their lives. She cannot move to where her jobs are or where her studies are. Sh

ENSpeech

Humanitarian situation in Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, in October 2025, I visited Lviv, where people were bracing for yet another harsh winter. It is now October 2026: the terror attacks against Ukraine continue, and the full-scale war is entering its fifth devastating year. Nearly 4 million displaced people strain an already burdened country, while in the occupied territories, people starve without medicine or heating. We are now hea

SVSpeech

The impact of the implementation of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) on SMEs, its administrative burden and challenges for the European Single Market (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. I am very pleased that we are now putting more pressure on big companies and e-commerce giants. At last, they have to take responsibility for paying for the huge amounts of waste they stand for. 173 kg of packaging waste per person on average in the EU in 2023, with an explosive increase forecast. Seas filled with plastic. Forests being cut down. Businesses need

SVSpeech

The EU’s role in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the accountability of Israel under international law (topical debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, thank you very much. The UN warns that Israel is deliberately attacking and killing Palestinian children. These are children who sleep, children who play, children who flee, children who are targets. Can you look your children in the eye and say that you have done everything in your power to stop the genocide? Can you? People who demonstrate in the

SVSpeech

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. 5 million mothers and children are starving in Afghanistan. Women and girls are deprived of their freedom, their education and their future. The Taliban, they execute, torture and silence all criticism. And in the middle of all this hell. What does the EU do? Inviting the Taliban to Brussels. The Swedish government, led by ministers Dousa and Forsell, has pushed

SVSpeech

Rights, support and protection of victims of crime (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. A woman is beaten in a relationship, flees, seeks help and finds safety in a sheltered home. Sweden's women's movements have for decades built up these safe spaces for women in need. Men's violence continues, but now the shelters are shut down, one by one. Every year, 15 women are killed by a man in Sweden. In the EU, the figure is around 2,600 women. I hope t

SVSpeech

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. It's time to deliver in Europe, you say. But deliver what and for whom? In Sweden, almost one person a week dies in their jobs, 49 people a year in the last decade. In Sundbyberg, five workers died when they were squeezed to death in a construction elevator, and on that construction there were 119 companies. The workers who died had names, they had families, t

SVSpeech

EU strategy in response to the ongoing Middle East crisis, its implications on energy prices and the availability of fertilizers (joint debate)

SVSpeech

Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union in 2024 and 2025 (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. In Sweden we have a new word: Teenage expulsions. It sounds like a bureaucratic detail but is in fact a human tragedy. The Swedish government has introduced the most restrictive migration laws in Europe. It particularly affects the most vulnerable: young people, people, young people who speak Swedish, who attend Swedish school, who play in the local football team

SVSpeech

Presentation of the Energy Package (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. In addition to the atrocities and grief that people in the Middle East are now experiencing, the US and Israel's attacks on Iran have also led to skyrocketing energy prices. Why do we have a system in Europe where the price of gas still sets the price of all electricity? This means that cheap wind and hydro power from, for example, Sweden suddenly becomes expensi

ENSpeech

Systemic oppression, inhumane conditions and arbitrary detentions by the regime in Iran

Mr President, the brave Iranian people have once again risked their lives in the fight for freedom – freedom from dictatorship and gender apartheid. The recent peaceful protests have been met with brutal violence by the regime. The repression is the deadliest of the 21st century, and the regime have threatened protesters with the death penalty. I really welcome the decision to put the IRGC on the

SVSpeech

Developing a new EU anti-poverty strategy (debate)

SVSpeech

Urgent actions to revive EU competitiveness, deepen the EU Single Market and reduce the cost of living - from the Draghi report to reality (debate)

SVQuestion

CFSP and CSDP (Article 36 TEU) (joint debate)

I agree with everything that has been said about supporting Ukraine. But I can't really understand why you don't mention the genocide in Gaza in a single word. All over the world, people are protesting. They want to end the atrocities. In just one week, more than 300,000 people have signed a petition to stop the trade agreement with Israel, and if it becomes more than 1 million, the EU will be for

SVSpeech

Brutal repression against protesters in Iran (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. In a world where fascism is on the rise and the rights of the strong are rocking international law, the struggle of the Iranian people is so incredibly important. To my children I say: Look at the people on the streets of Iran, from Tehran to Isfahan, they have the courage to stand up to the oppression of the mullahs, they take the fight for the right to be who y

SVSpeech

The 28th Regime: a new legal framework for innovative companies (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. You on the right claim that the 28th order simplifies Europe. To benefit big business, you want to reduce democratic influence and tear up the laws that protect working conditions. Under the 28th regime, Sweden's statutory right to five weeks' leave may cease to apply. The same applies to our anti-discrimination laws and whistleblower protection. Lower wages h

SVSpeech

2030 Consumer Agenda (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Outside the City Mission, the Church of Sweden and other aid organizations, food queues are now long. The situation is acute, for more and more children and families with children in Sweden. We have children with empty stomachs among others who are full, in one of the richest countries in the world. And the Swedish government does not lift a finger. It's time to

SVSpeech

European Citizens’ Initiative ‘My voice, my choice: for safe and accessible abortion’ (debate)

SVSpeech

Phasing out Russian natural gas imports and improving monitoring of potential energy dependencies (debate)

SVSpeech

EU response to the continuous airspace violations and sabotage of critical infrastructure in the EU originating from Russia and Belarus (debate)

SVSpeech

Ending all energy imports from Russia to the EU and closing loopholes through third countries (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. A little over two weeks ago I was sitting in a shelter in the Ukrainian city of Lviv. That night, Russia sent over 130 Shahed drones and around 30 cruise missiles and ballistic missiles against the city in an attempt to knock out the Ukrainian heat and water ahead of winter. I will never forget how the fear and sorrow settled over the city, nor will I forget the

SVSpeech

The EU’s role in supporting the recent peace efforts for Gaza and a two-state solution (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. I would like to begin by thanking you. Thank you to everyone at flotillan. Thank you to all the millions of people around the world who take the streets and demonstrate. You have taken the responsibility that world leaders have so cowardly refused to take. You have been mocked and scoffed at from this hall and from governments like the Swedish one. The indulge

SVSpeech

Implementation and streamlining of EU internal market rules to strengthen the single market (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. I would like to begin by thanking the rapporteur for the way in which these negotiations have been conducted. At the same time, there is no denying that there are major ideological differences here, which is good in itself, because this should be the case in politics. The problem, I think, is what governs Europe. It is this neoliberal, obsolete belief in dereg
