Escalation of Russian strikes in the EU, particularly on Black Sea shipping, threatening human life, regional stability and food security (debate)
Madam President, And dream pacem, para bellum - If you want peace, prepare for war. This is the response I received at the ITRE Committee from a Vice-President, when I called for peace and peace negotiations with Russia. So let's get ready for war, that peace will be later. Are you interested in Russian drones? Which Russian drones? They are drones of Russian, American, Romanian production that ar
France, Italy and Belgium: Latest anti-democratic violence by radical far-left groups, implications on public order and the legitimate right to protest (debate)
Madam President, Divide et impera - Divide and conquer, that's exactly what happened in this room. Nobody talks about why some kids took to the streets. When our children take to the streets, it means that we, as parents, as grandparents, have failed. Don't you look at what is happening all over Europe and don't you see that all this leadership of Ursula von der Leyen, which has turned into a Nazi
Amendments to the Critical Raw Materials Act
They do have national service. The European Commission identifies a strategic joint project and reports and concludes on. Route. Diana Iovanovici. Oh, thank you. You're talking here against China. Instead of collaborating, instead of reading their history and knowing how to talk to them. You hate the Chinese because they have rare metals, they have intelligence and they work without arrogance, lik
Deteriorating situation of media freedom and freedom of expression in Hong Kong following the recent arrest of bookseller Leticia Wong and the convictions of Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung
Madam President, if you want to solve the cases in Hong Kong, you need to talk to China. Unfortunately, you don't talk to China. You argue with Xi Jinping and criticize him, you argue with Russia and criticize Putin and argue with the United States. Let's remember how you denigrated Trump when he won the presidency. Unfortunately, the same thing that happens in Hong Kong happens in Romania. We hav
Urgent need for EU support to Ukraine against Russia’s escalation of its war of aggression (debate)
Madam President, so I understand in this half-cycle that if you have a different opinion, you are a traitor. You don't have to stay in Parliament anymore and eventually the European Union will send you to jail. It was also here that I understood that we were discussing between Putin's useless idiots and Zelensky's useless idiots, although I knew that insults were forbidden in this half-cycle. But
Stop gold-plating, relieve SMEs: Member States must implement EU legislation without adding extra bureaucracy (topical debate)
Madam President, yes, how amazing, the EPP, the one who runs the European Union, the one who has Mrs von der Leyen, the one who held a congress in Romania during the pandemic, where no rules were followed, to choose Mrs von der Leyen, has the nerve to ask us what we think we should do with the bureaucracy. In Romania, all the acts we adopt here become 100 times harder to implement, because we have
Escalation in the Middle East (debate)
Do you have a problem with the Middle East? But why don't you have a problem with Israel, which is committing crimes against humanity, genocide and holocaust in Gaza and the West Bank? Why do you always defend Israel, which is ruled by the Zionists? Israel, which, led by the Zionists, kills and beats and destroys even ultra-Orthodox Jews? Palestinian mothers and Israeli mothers took to the streets
Defence (joint debate)
Mr. President, indeed, we must arm ourselves. What to Arm in Romania? Russia no longer has an army. We also had a Patriot system and were forced by the European Commission to donate it to Ukraine. Ukraine, which today closed a class in Romanian in Odessa, although there is a majority Romanian population. Moreover, Romania, as of July 1st, is in default. For three or four months, institutions in Ro
Findings and recommendations of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (debate)
Doesn't it seem to you, Mr. Terhes, that they are now legalizing what they used experimentally in Romania? 5 October 2024 – at the request of the European Commission, the Constitutional Court forbids me from running for the Romanian Presidency, which the Constitutional Court could not do. Subsequently, the precedent used to cancel the elections in Romania. This European democracy has caused 65,000
Government crackdown on the LGBTIQ+ Community in Türkiye: Türkiye’s compliance with its international commitments on non-discrimination (debate)
Madam President, first of all, I would like to know why you are not taking a stand, Madam President, when a lady, a woman, has been discriminated against and offended here in plenary by three gentlemen? I find it unacceptable that in a democracy we have no right to opinion and we are effectively trampled on, because we disagree with others who have actually destroyed Europe. Turkey has been a memb
Establishing the Union Customs Code and the European Union Customs Authority (debate)
Madam President, you are setting up a European customs authority in Lille, France, with 285 bureaucrats to control customs, including Romanian customs. And I ask you why in Lille? Because if it's not France it's Germany, if it's not Germany it's France, the rest doesn't matter. Why in Lille and not in Albita or Constanta, where almost all goods enter, including drugs from Ukraine, which come hidde
Public Procurement Act (debate)
Madam President, yes, unfortunately, you are just showing us that from 900 pages you reach 200. But cut the paperwork, but also cut the controls. Where is the register of conflict of interest? Where is the verification of the links between the mayor and the winning firm? Did you get them out? Everything is digitalized, everything is automatic. And then I ask you how can you verify the conflict of
2025 Commission report on Kosovo (A10-0166/2026 - Riho Terras)
Madam President, ‘Iovanovici’ is really a name there, in Serbia, near Kosovo. I voted against this report and it is unacceptable and offensive and an unacceptable attack on Serbia's sovereignty and independence to talk about Kosovo. My paternal grandfather was born exactly in Serbia, near Kosovo. Serbia and we, the Romanians, will never accept Kosovo. Neither the Romanian people nor Romania recogn
The resilience of the European transport sector and the need to ensure the supply of essential goods amid ongoing geopolitical instability (debate)
You were talking about the Danube, you were talking about the Black Sea. Unfortunately, Romania no longer has a fleet because it was asked to do so by the European Union. Moreover, we have resilience, the so-called resilience of European transport corridors. From our point of view, it actually means the destruction of Romanian roads and ports, such as Constanta, which has also come to be attacked
Preparation of the European Council (joint debate)
Mr President, I am part of the delegation with China and I have attended many meetings and many discussions. I think you have not understood that at this moment China holds the highest power and is the world's greatest economic force. Furthermore, it is part of the BRICS, the BRICS which accounts for 49 % of international gross domestic product. You, instead of collaborating and dialogue and havin
Russia’s unacceptable provocative actions and drone incursions into Romania, the Baltic states and Finland (debate)
The role of the EU in efforts for peace and stability throughout the Middle East after the announced deal between the US and Iran (debate)
One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Madam President, I heard you here today about the problems of the European Union, Ukraine, Russia, America, China. You don't see your problems in your own backyard. You have destroyed the European Union. You put so much money into the Ukrainian-Russian war that you bankrupted the European Union's economy. Your hands are stained with the blood of Ukrainians, Russians, Romanians and all those who di
EU-US trade deal (joint debate)
Madam President, I have looked here and I think the Americans are watching, everyone is watching, because this whole plenary is being broadcast live. And what we have noticed is that the European Union does not have specialists in the most important functions. You don't know the economy and unfortunately you don't know how to negotiate a contract either. As a lawyer who has concluded many commerci
Women’s entrepreneurship in rural and island areas and outermost regions (debate)
Madam President, I agree with Mrs Grapini and, moreover, we should say that Romania is the most misogynistic country in the European Union. It is very difficult for women to have access not only to employment, but also to European funds. There is a huge rural-urban divide. The Romanian village is neglected ‑ bad infrastructure, the lack of doctors and schools make any attempt at female entrepreneu
The need to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish life in Europe, following the recent attacks against the Jewish community in the Netherlands and Belgium (debate)
The need for targeted criminal provisions and platforms’ responsibility to effectively address cyberbullying and online harassment (debate)
Financial literacy and the rise of finfluencers in the context of the savings and investments union (debate)
Madam President, yes, do you want to do financial training in schools? Who's doing it? I would like to know how many Members of the European Parliament have financial training? How many Commissioners in the European Commission have financial training? How many parliamentarians in national parliaments have financial training and how many ministers have financial training? Now you want to censor inf
Protection of the European Union’s financial interests – combating fraud – annual report 2024 (debate)
Mr President, yes, you are talking here about VAT, about VAT fraud. Do you know that in Romania VAT fraud has been carried out for 36 years by companies that belong to politicians and are defended by the parties in power, the socialists and the liberals, whom you keep defending? You are talking about the fact that the EPP is collaborating with the so-called far right, when you are the far left! Bu
