What Javier spoke about.

Thank you for the question. I have to tell you that when I go to Canada – as Chair of this House’s Delegation for relations with Canada – I find it difficult to answer that question – why are there nine states that have not yet ratified it? Because it is an agreement that is benefiting both parties, but much more so the European side. I am a pragmatic person. What we can do at the level of this Ho

There are what they call the DAGs – the Domestic Advisory Groups – which allow and meet every year, provide a forum in which trade unions, NGOs and all levels of civil society participate, and then present – and have presented, for example, in the Committee on International Trade a few months ago – their conclusions. What I would like is for this to be strengthened, even institutionalised, and don

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, following President von der Leyen's announcement at the plenary session on Canada's Associated State status, a legal debate has been opened. Three brief considerations in this regard. First: yes, Commissioner, I have been saying for years that Canada is the most European country outside Europe. We share history, culture and languages, as well as va

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it should be remembered that the European Parliament is a budgetary authority and that the pro-European forces are prepared to reject the Council's insufficient proposal for the next multiannual financial framework, and that would lead to an unprecedented financial and institutional crisis that would leave a weak Union out of a convulsive world ord

Madam President, Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, to the so-called frugal countries - or rather, to their respective governments - we Spanish socialists say that we are hungry for more Europe, that we cannot do more European politics with fewer resources. Frugals set security and defence, competitiveness, innovation and the fight against irregular immigration as their priorities;

Madam Speaker, as Chair of the Delegation for Relations with Canada, I welcome Prime Minister Carney's presence today and tomorrow and welcome the proposal for a new association. You can count on us. We're going to work from this house. Ladies and gentlemen, Canada is a model for the reception and integration of migrants from which we must learn. It should be recalled that the Pact on Migration an

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, peace, human dignity and respect for international law must be at the heart of the debates and conclusions of the European Council. We want peace in Ukraine and in the Middle East. But the road to peace will not be decided without Ukraine and also without the European Union, which is providing holistic and unwavering support with financial measures such as th

Mr. Lenaers, did you think I could have been born in Kabul and be a woman? What do I mean by this? That you have to respect people who want to improve their lives. Yes, the return must be done, but it must be done with dignity, to safe places and with agreements, not as the right and the extreme right are proposing. So please have some dignity with the migrants. It is told by a son of migrants.

Mr President, Commissioner, with the report by my colleague Tobias Cremer we send a clear message to our Canadian friends who, as you have rightly said, are undoubtedly the most European people outside Europe. Now more than ever, in this troubled world, we need a closer and more dynamic relationship with Canada, an essential partner for the European Union both geopolitically and geo-economically.

Madam President, Madam Vice-President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, dear Antonio, ladies and gentlemen, we are living in turbulent times. More than ever, the European Union must resolutely play a key role on the global geopolitical board. Faced with Trump and Putin and their respective European vassal political forces, we Europeanists must unite and rearm morally to defend the sovereignt

Madam President, Commissioner, Madam Minister, it is clear that the current tenants of the White House and the Kremlin and their other acolytes do not like the success of our European Union's model of peace, democracy and well-being. Faced with their aspirations to impose the law of the jungle, we have to rely fully on ourselves, on our values, acting with firmness and unity, but, above all, with

Mr President, Commissioner, dear Maroš, housing is not just another market good, as the liberal and conservative forces are trying to put it. For us Spanish socialists, access to affordable and decent housing is a human right, enshrined in Article 47 of the Spanish Constitution, but also in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The housing crisis has spread across the European m

Madam President, welcome to the Prime Minister. Your speech was full of hope. Thank you for that. Madam President, Prime Minister, you are leading Luxembourg, a founding country that has always been at the heart of the European project. That heart must continue beating in the face of the forces that want to destroy the European Union, return to nationalism and the worst moments of the past. We Eur

Madam President, sorry, I can't answer because I didn't understand what he said.

Madam President, Mrs von der Leyen, the Union is in a delicate state and you are at a crossroads: Either you continue to build Europe with the pro-European forces that supported your candidacy - and I hope Mr Weber will continue to do so - or you get carried away by those who want to dismantle the policies that you yourself proposed and that we have built together, such as the European Green Deal,

Mr President, Madam Minister, Commissioner, you must continue to negotiate firmly until the end. We are the largest trading bloc and the largest internal market in the world. With the United States we share values and a long history of cooperation, but cooperation does not mean submission. That is why we must have firm and credible countermeasures in place. If the negotiations fail, we also have t

Madam President, Mr President of the European Council, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the European project that was born after the Second World War and that has brought us to the current European Union is, above all, a peace project. That is why all financial, material and human efforts to strengthen our security and defence - which, remember, are European public goods - must be dedicated to

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen of the right and the far right: There is no point in this debate. Spain is a full democracy, one of the 24 recognised as such in the world, and has a consolidated rule of law, as the Commissioner said. That is why this debate, proposed by you and agreed by your European political groups, has no place in this House. Ladies and gentlemen, We are in St

Mr President, Commissioner, Minister, the new American administration has placed us before a worrying and senseless trade war in which we all lose and in which inflation, unemployment and recession will win, if we do not stop them. Unilateralism, autocracy and poverty will break through. Commissioner, in these 90 days we must negotiate on an equal footing, with the certainty that it is the largest

Madam President, dear Commissioner, dear President, ladies and gentlemen, last Wednesday we celebrated the 68th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, with which we Europeans began our journey towards a common destiny, successfully sharing peace, security, democracy and social welfare. Now, the change in the White House has brought us to a turning point, what Habermas calls the moment of existential s

Mr. Jaak Madison, thank you for your question. Since the first minute of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Spain's government has been with Ukraine. We will do everything necessary to bring about that lasting and just peace. We are with Ukraine, we will continue to be with Ukraine and we will put in place the means that need to be put in place. Do not worry that the Spanish socialist government is in i

Madam President, Commissioner, Mr President of the European Council, I begin by sending, on behalf of the Spanish Socialist delegation, our remembrance, support and affection to the families of the 11M victims. Ladies and gentlemen, war or peace? The Union is in an unthinkable dilemma a few years ago, especially for those of us who have not lived through the war. Disquiet is growing in our societi
