ITSpeech

Effective measures to protect and empower children in the digital world (debate)

Madam President, there are many things we can and must do to protect children in the digital age. As a former teacher, I believe that sexual-affective digital education in schools is crucial. We need to invest a lot more in these paths. But that's not enough. Control measures are also needed, such as the introduction of an age limit for the use of social networks at 14 years of age, while ensuring

ITAnswer

Affordable Housing Act (debate)

First, the rent must be limited when there are millions of people who fail to make it to the end of the month. Moreover, occupations are a symptom of the housing crisis that you do not want to face. If serious housing policies were made that guaranteed everyone the right to housing, no one would need to occupy. And I'll tell you more: The criminal is not the one who occupies the house out of neces

ITSpeech

Affordable Housing Act (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this is the sound of the protest over the right to housing in Spain. A symbol of struggle that we hope to hear very soon in the streets of all Europe, because in our cities it has become impossible to live. Rents are skyrocketing, mortgages are inaccessible, social housing is too few and too many are left culpably empty. While millions of people kill themselves

ITAnswer

The recent hybrid attacks and instrumentalisation of migrants in Ceuta and the need for a coordinated response to protect EU’s external borders (debate)

It is a colonial remnant: I don't say that, but the history books say it. if the right-wing colleagues, perhaps, had opened them by chance. The problem with you on the right is that you are insecure, you are full of insecurity and you are full of fear. If you really think that a rich continent, with 450 million inhabitants, is not able to accommodate 60,000 people, then perhaps you should change j

ITSpeech

The recent hybrid attacks and instrumentalisation of migrants in Ceuta and the need for a coordinated response to protect EU’s external borders (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Ceuta is not Spain; Ceuta is not Europe. Geographically it is Africa and, historically, it is a remnant of European colonialism. It is from this contradiction that we must start if we want to talk about the migration crisis at the end of July, which the right has immediately transformed into racist and nationalist propaganda. The Italian government has even bloc

An EU future for the Western Balkans (joint debate)

ITSpeech

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, poverty in Europe is no longer a marginal emergency, it is becoming an ever deeper, more visible and more violent social fracture. In Italy almost 6 million people live in absolute poverty. But poverty is not a fatality, it is not an accident of history, it is the precise result of an economic and political model called capitalism: As long as governments cont

ENSpeech

Sudan’s abandoned humanitarian crisis: three years of conflict (debate)

Mr President, three long, horrific years of war in Sudan. 30 million people have been forced to flee their homes. More than 4 million crossed the borders. Over 33 million now depend on humanitarian assistance, and nearly half of the population faces acute hunger. It is an unacceptable, humanitarian catastrophe. Once again, the international community and the European Union appear unable or unwilli

ITQuestion

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

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, fundamental rights are increasingly under attack in Europe. The classist and liberticidal agenda of the far right is evident. But in times of crisis and war, even the democratic forces end up accepting too many compromises to the bottom. For us, on the contrary, the rights of each and all are not negotiable: They are our red line, our barricade. To those who jus

ITSpeech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, food prices in Italy have increased by 25% over the last four years. Rents rose by 34% over the same period, while wages remained completely flat. This means that the purchasing power of citizens has fallen drastically, that the working classes are impoverishing themselves. Other than "the migrants here, the migrants there": the real security

ITSpeech

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, housing is the basis of rights. Homeless everything else becomes fragile and precarious: safety, work, health, education, the very dignity of people. Yet today, in Europe and certainly in Italy, too many people do not have a home; Too many families struggle to pay rent or mortgage every month. Too many workers cannot afford to live in the cities where they wo

ITSpeech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for over 60 years Cuba has been living under a US embargo, a criminal embargo that has already imposed too much suffering on the population and prevented the free development of the island. But today we are witnessing a new and dangerous escalation: Since January 29, the Trump administration has been trying to permanently strangle this country with an unp

ITSpeech

Gender pay and pension gap in the EU: state of play, challenges and the way forward, and developing guidelines for the better evaluation and fairer remuneration of work in female-dominated sectors (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in Italy, despite higher and higher levels of education than men, women continue to participate less in the labour market, earn less and rarely hold managerial roles. On the other hand, they support much of the domestic and care work, invisible, unpaid and often not even recognized by those who benefit from it. Men, on the other hand, are entitle

ENSpeech

State violence in Minneapolis and the rule of law in the United States (topical debate)

Madam President, I want to use this minute to send from here, from the European Parliament, all my and our solidarity to the families and friends of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Renee and Alex paid with their lives for what is right: standing against ICE; standing against raids, abductions and deportations; supporting neighbours in their own communities. That is what anti-fascism looks like today.

ENSpeech

Urgent need to address the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan and to achieve a sustainable peace (debate)

Mr President, in Sudan, over 12 million people have been displaced. Epidemics and famine are spreading. Essential infrastructure has collapsed. Refugees find closed borders and degrading conditions. And yet, the international community, including the EU, is largely ignoring this war; a horrific war that is the toxic result of illegal gold trafficking, of a popular revolution crushed in blood, of a

ENSpeech

Situation in Northeast Syria, the violence against civilians and the need to maintain a sustainable ceasefire (debate)

Mr President, in recent days we have lived through deep, dark concern for the fate of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, for the present and the future of the Democratic Confederalist Revolution. We fear the worst. But as our comrades on the ground taught us, we never abandoned resistance. We never lost hope. Now, an agreement with the transitional government of Syria has been

Extreme weather events in particular in Portugal, southern Italy, Malta and Greece: European response in strengthening readiness, preparedness and solidarity mechanisms (debate)

ITSpeech

Restoring control of migration: returns, visa policy and third-country cooperation (topical debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, everyone can see what is happening in the United States: the great deportation is underway, the immigrant hunt turns into mass round-ups, the ICE behaves like the Gestapo. The self-styled patriots reveal themselves for what they really are: of vile white supremacists. In Europe the situation is no less serious, the right-wings obsessed with migrants are making i

ITSpeech

Tackling AI deepfakes and sexual exploitation on social media by making full use of the EU’s digital rules (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Internet is an extraordinary tool, but it can also be really full of shit. With the advent of artificial intelligence, unprecedented and disturbing levels are being reached. Recently we have witnessed a serious and disgusting phenomenon: the images of thousands of people – mainly women, but also minors – virtually stripped through Grok, the artificial int

ITSpeech

The urgent need to combat discrimination in the EU through the horizontal anti-discrimination directive (topical debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, work on the anti-discrimination directive has been virtually at a standstill since 2008, 17 years ago. In 17 years, the European Union has failed to take a concrete step forward on a matter that should be obvious, elementary, shared. Or maybe not? Or, perhaps, is there really someone in this House and in national governments who thinks it is legitimate to discri

ITSpeech

Application of the ‘safe third country’ concept (vote)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we too, like The Left, are challenging the mandate for dossiers on so-called safe third countries and countries of origin. The reason is very simple, but of extreme gravity: these dossiers effectively sanction the destruction of the right of asylum in Europe. Our political union stems from the tragedy of the world wars and the millions of refugees and displac

Escalation of the war and the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for over two and a half years the people of Sudan have been engulfed in a heinous war between two military forces, both legitimised, financed and supported by foreign powers pursuing imperialist interests or seeking partners to control migration, such as the European Union. But to really understand what is happening you have to take a step back: Between 2018 and
