What Georgiana spoke about.

So many innocent civilians have been murdered, women and men raped, bodies mutilated and children taken hostage. And yet, almost two years later, this Parliament still fails to state the obvious: Israel has the right to defend itself! What were Israel's options? Do nothing? Accept any demand made by the terrorists while the hostages were still being held? No country in the world would tolerate thi

Romania has been eligible for Schengen membership for many years. There is nothing interpretable or questionable here, things are clear. Under these circumstances, it is humiliating to be kept at the door, treated like second-class European citizens. We know that economic interests govern the times in which we live, but it is unacceptable that this violates the principles on which the European Uni

Mr President, today's debate about cutting costs and cutting bureaucratic burdens comes at a critical time for European entrepreneurs. Regulations such as the Packaging Directive are clear proof of how micro-enterprises and SMEs are suffocated by fixed, abusive costs, authorised representatives in each country and an infernal bureaucracy. Up to 12 000 euros must be taken out of pocket per year by

Thank you so much, colleague, for your question. I can tell you that, in Romania, to occupy somebody's house illegally is a crime. If you do so and you refuse to leave that house you just occupied illegally, you go to jail. So the situation in Romania is very different from the situation you had in Spain due to Pedro Sánchez's way of governing Spain. In this concern, I have to say that we need a b

Mr President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, the housing crisis is one of the biggest problems facing young Europeans today. Too many young people cannot afford to leave home, buy their first home or start a family. That is why we are not only facing a housing crisis, but also a demographic one. I agree that we need more affordable housing, but I cannot support an approach that violates the right

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, when we talk about the health workforce crisis, we are actually talking about people waiting to be cared for. Europe has an estimated deficit of 1.2 million doctors, nurses, midwives, not to mention all other healthcare workers. But this figure actually means longer waiting lists, delayed diagnoses and patients who don't get the care they need on time. As for pa

Mr President, for years, because of absurd regulations, wool has been unfairly treated as risk waste, forcing sheep to bury or burn it. This is not environmental protection, it is a clean waste. European Regulation 1069/2009 treats wool as waste rather than a valuable strategic resource. We do not need ideological constraints that bury traditions and suffocate farmers, but smart, realistic solutio

Madam President, a ship departs loaded with 10 tonnes of cocaine from a South American country to Europe; The 16-year-old son of a doctor in Brussels - or Paris, or Berlin, or Rome, or Bucharest - tries his first gram at a party. He's a good kid, with great results at school, well-educated by his parents, and a bright future ahead of him - or so his future should have been by that first gram. He k

Mr President, we all agree that Moldova's place is in the European Union. They are our brothers, Romanians, they speak Romanian, they are mostly Orthodox Christians and they share the same past and the same values with Romania, an EU member state. When and how will this accession be made? Here is the real key to this debate. The first, the quickest and most natural, would be the German solution, w

Madam President, extreme poverty fosters crime and the recruitment of minors, both for the purpose of committing serious crimes themselves, such as drug trafficking or violent crime, and for the purpose of exploiting them for begging, sexual abuse or various other crimes. In other words, the poorer our children are, the more they are in danger of becoming victims of organised crime networks. There

Mr President, Commissioner, everyone is talking here about strategies, statistics, reports. But in real Romania people don't live off European papers and slogans. Romania has unfortunately become one of the poorest countries in Europe, and Romanians are paying right now, when they speak, the highest energy price on the continent. Every month, millions of people choose between heating their home an

Madam President, the new EU strategy for fertilisers must not only be a list of good intentions, but a national and European security plan. We are experiencing a systemic crisis that we have unfortunately experienced before. The outbreak of the war in Ukraine has painfully exposed our toxic dependence on raw materials, such as potassium, from states such as Russia or Belarus. However, I don't seem

Mr President, thanks to organisations such as WWF and Agent Green, in Romania everyone has heard of the Arthur bear. Unfortunately, because of precisely these organizations and the policies pushed by them to the level of Brussels, no one in Romania knows that the shepherd eaten alive by the bear was named Mihai and that he had a little boy, Ionut, who now grows up without a father. Equally, no one

Mr President, my conclusions after deepening the report: Although the European Commission announces for the period 2028-2034 the largest budget in the history of the EU, at almost 1.8 trillion euros, it is in fact much smaller than the previous budget year. A significant part, EUR 150 billion, i.e. NRRP loans, needs to be returned. Although the European Parliament boasts that it is increasing the

Madam President, corruption, this cancer of our society, perverts all categories of society and all areas of activity, from civil servants, magistrates, policemen, to doctors, teachers or ordinary private employees. Corruption often paralyzes public administration and creates inequities or discrimination, where the state should function flawlessly in the interest of citizens. Worse than

(the beginning of the intervention was not done on the microphone) ...but not under the pretext of nullifying the fundamental right to privacy. I am a criminal lawyer and I say it clearly: Privacy is a fundamental right that cannot be negotiated. On the other hand, I am a mother and I declare with the same firmness: the right of minors to protection online is vital. Appropriate criminal

Madam President, Europe is facing the biggest housing crisis since the Second World War - a crisis that is at the root of the continent's demographic decline. A nation that cannot guarantee a roof for its young people is a nation without a future, and the solution to the shortage of its own migrant population is not a solution, it is suicide. Unfortunately, the European Commission has taken a litt

Mr President, Europe has tried to solve the demographic crisis and the crisis in the job market through migration. It was not a good idea and we have thousands of victims of increased crime demonstrating this, as well as official reports from Frontex, Europol and other similar institutions, where illegal migration and migrant crime are extensively analysed. This year we will also see the effects o

Madam President, after more than five years in which, at the negotiating table, the European Union took decisions based more on ideology and less on strategy, the bill came. Progressive dinners are expensive. Large companies in the automotive industry, whose brands have been not only engines of the European economy, but true ambassadors of this continent, are silently moving their production to co
