What Danilo spoke about.

Madam President, let us tell the truth: the majority in this House of the elections in Russia and the democratic freedoms of the Russians do not care at all. When Russia was a partner of NATO countries, they closed their eyes to so many undemocratic things. I do not care because there would also be oppositions in Russia that contest the elections and the government, such as Jabloko, ousted from th

Madam President, Commissioner, this report is a lost opportunity for me, yet another, because one could choose the path of dialogue, cooperation and mutual interest and instead chose to commit suicide, endorsing the will of the American master Trump. Calls must have come from Washington also to congratulate because in the United States they could not have written this report better. You have decid

Mr President, Madam High Representative, ladies and gentlemen, over EUR 200 billion: This is the amount that has cost European taxpayers to support Ukraine so far. The truth is that you have dragged Europe into a quagmire and you no longer know what to say to justify further escalation war. Thus, the drone that touched Zelensky's plane, which passed only 160 kilometers, that is, the distance betwe

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the elephant gave birth to a mouse because the conclusions of this special committee should be studied as an example of the use of double standards. Instead of a study of the real risks to our democracies, we are always faced with the usual pattern: on the one hand, countries such as Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc., etc., which are the main threats and

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, after more than 1 000 days of ethnic cleansing, 75 000 confirmed deaths and millions of displaced persons, this Parliament still does not condemn the Israeli genocide. And to clear your conscience, you are proposing a debate on the role of the European Union in the reconstruction of Gaza. But, I say, with what courage, honestly? There are thousands

Look, I'll tell you very briefly: the problem of corruption in Ukraine is there and it is evident, and today, here, in the end, we speak as if nothing were to welcome Ukraine. There is also a problem with the funds, there is a problem with the European budget, which is very important and, I repeat, has a great impact on the regions, for example, of southern Italy. But I say one thing: In four year

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, make it clear: you have decided to send us all into bankruptcy and war, because you are turning Ukraine's accession process into a blind race towards war armageddon, because of the urgent need to bring into the European Union a country whose government has elevated to national heroes the collaborators of the UPA, perpetrators of the massacres in Vo

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is no point in turning around. The next Council will be yet another failure, like all those who preceded it. Failure on Peace: zero diplomacy, weapons and endless war in Ukraine. Failure on the economy: skyrocketing energy prices, zero investment and no support plan for households and businesses. In the new multipolar world, Europe should dialogue with eve

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the launch of the European strategy against poverty, because it is a necessary act. They finally open their eyes to reality. Because of your neoliberal policies, cuts in social spending and the warmongering choices of the von der Leyen Commission, poverty bites more and more citizens and workers. Let me give the example of Italy, where Istat number

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today we are talking about Cuba and with the usual, masterful hypocrisy of this Parliament, we are able to talk about human rights without mentioning the elephant in the room: The U.S. embargo has been in place for 66 years. What you hide under the carpet is what all this means: lack of energy and basic necessities to the detriment of the most fragile: pregna

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I refer to the Rules of Procedure, Rule 202, because we consider the interpretation of Rule 188 to be incorrect. Yesterday, two of our amendments to the resolution on Ukraine were declared inadmissible because they were deemed out of context. Perhaps the real problem is that our amendments mentioned Israel and the link between the two issues from the point of

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, today we are talking about responsibility and justice. But I ask myself, honestly, with what courage this Parliament speaks of justice: Twenty packages of sanctions on Russia and head literally under the sand when the United States of America brings death and destruction to the Near East. Or while Donald Trump's magic circle makes money speculat

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for you, enlargement has become the geopolitical tool with which the EU dictates the foreign policy of its eastern neighbours and is doing so by applying the usual double standards. This strategy has proved to be a failure and the cases of Georgia and Moldova are proof of this. Now we risk opening the doors to states that have not achieved good democratic standa

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, after February 2022, words of outrage and condemnation were used in this Parliament for Russia’s violation of international law, ambassadors were withdrawn, theatre performances were blocked, Russian sportsmen were prevented from participating in the Olympics, resolutions and sanctions were voted on. Where have the champions of international law gone today? T

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the United States and Russia are talking about a possible peace plan, Ukraine is opening negotiations and here we are voting on three resolutions: military mobility, European rearmament, ban on Russian gas. Tell him you want to continue the war. You are far from reality because you have decided that you have already won the war and that you will use Russian asse

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that we are facing a contradiction because, if we rightly condemn the militarisation of the Arctic by China and Russia, then we cannot propose further Western militarisation, because then it becomes a reality.escalation. I believe that we would need a more dialogic approach, negotiations on regimes of mutual military transparency and no more weapons

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I wonder what is the point of talking about the shield of democracy, of freedom of expression, if then this majority and these institutions do exactly the opposite of what is claimed. In the commission, which was supposed to be temporary and which you are turning into a "permanent ministry of truth," you talk to us about external interference and c

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, you are condemning families and businesses to pay the costs of war. Thanks to your nefarious policies, the average price of gas bills will increase by around EUR 300 per household per year. We have tried in every way to make you think: Europe was not ready to eliminate Russian gas overnight, which Ukraine has not done either. We asked for a gradual change. The E

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, today we are talking about Belarus and I want to start by saying that Lukashenko is the furthest expression from my idea of politics. But it also gives me the opportunity to reiterate the distortions of this Parliament, because today's resolution, for example, says that this Parliament does not recognise the Belarusian presidency as legitimate.

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, a year has passed since the terrible accident at Novi Sad station and my thoughts go out to the victims and their families who, together with hundreds of thousands of Serbs, have taken to the streets to cry out for justice to be done and for those who have done wrong to pay. This tragedy has also shown us that Serbian society is alive, that its

(IT) Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago we discovered that former Chancellor Merkel is also a dangerous putinian, because she publicly claimed that Poland and Estonia prevented dialogue with Russia before the 2022 invasion, confirming what we have in fact always maintained, namely that the European Union is hostage to a perilous and dying leadership, which is pushing us all to W
