What Juan Fernando spoke about.

The Socialist delegation voted in favour of this resolution as it shows a genuine commitment to make significant progress in the ongoing Article 7(1) TEU procedures, in line with its obligations under the Treaties. At Parliament’s request, hearings are not organised in a regular, structured and open manner. We urge future Presidencies to organise hearings regularly and at least once per Presidency

Mr President, there is no doubt that Canada enjoys enormous sympathy in this European Parliament, because it has it in the citizenship that this Parliament represents, because of its federal constitutional experience integrating diversity, because of its model of social protection, but also because of the courage with which it is facing the onslaughts of its immediate neighbour, the Trump Administ

Mr President, this debate is joined by all those we have had throughout this plenary session, because the European budget and the multiannual financial framework are crucial if there are to be resources and political will for the European Union to have a respectable voice at the Climate Change Conference in Turkey (COP31). Because it is not ideology that we are facing global warming that borders o

Mr President, Commissioner Mînzatu, the Erasmus+ programme has been a success story since it was devised decades ago by the long-awaited and late Spanish Commissioner Manuel Marín. It is not only linked to the European Solidarity Corps, but above all to the training and educational opportunities of young people who thus enjoy a difficult network of coexistence, experiences and shared affections. E

Mr President, Commissioner McGrath, nine years since the assassination of Daphne Caruana and nine years since, at this time, we are invariably celebrating a tribute to her memory, for which this Parliament's press room bears her name. All out of solidarity with his work and his family; All because of a commitment against impunity. Invariably, however, this debate ends up being used by opponents of

Mr President, dear and respected President Costa, we know that it is not easy, but you have plenty of authority and leadership to move the Council in the direction of the European Parliament. Own resources, because without them there is no support for values, nor for social and regional policy, nor for housing, nor for migratory solidarity with Spain and with any other country with an external bor

Madam President, Commissioner Mînzatu, this is a beautiful as well as an interesting debate: how to promote vocational training and education opportunities for quality employment, decent employment in decent working conditions that also include collective bargaining and the defence, therefore, of a restored European Pillar of Social Rights worthy of that name, which is a great challenge that its b

Mr President, what in 1995 was called the Barcelona Process led in 2008 to a Union for the Mediterranean which integrated no less than the then 28 Member States of the European Union with those of the cornice on the other side of the shore, going from the Maghreb to Turkey. Since then, however, inequalities have only increased so that, in the face of an ageing Europe, on the other side of the Medi

Mr President, Mrs Kallas, the fact that the Houthi militia perpetrates acts of terrorism and war crimes is beyond doubt and the European Union must draw all its consequences, but also support international criminal justice to which the crimes of war, humanity, genocide and aggression are subject. And if Trump and his administration can afford the contradiction of harassing the militia, but at the

At the kind invitation of the President to participate in this Question Time, Vice-President Rivera, I greet you in your responsibility for competition, which may seem harsh, but which is in fact decisive for ensuring fairness in the allocation of resources and transparency in compliance with the rules of the game that European law consists of. At the moment, there is a political battle for Parlia

Madam President, Commissioner, after two hours of debate on the 2027 budget, two pieces of evidence shine through. The first is that the ultra-right's challenge to the budget's priorities - as if they were ideological, they say - actually hides its ideology, which is profoundly anti-European in that it denies aid to farmers, denies development aid, denies equality, cohesion and social policies, an

Madam President, Commissioner, before the European Union summit with the United Kingdom, many pro-Europeans knew that the Brexit was a mistake from the beginning; even more serious because it should, and could, have been avoided. But it wasn't a harmless mistake. It has done real damage and, therefore, we can congratulate ourselves that we contained the damage, at least avoiding the contagion effe

Madam President, High Representative Kaja Kallas, in the face of any Russian act of hybrid warfare perpetrated against States of the European Union - whether in the North Sea, the Baltic republics, or in the Black Sea, Romania and Bulgaria - there is only solidarity and, ultimately, that of Article 42(7) of the Treaty on European Union, which binds all Member States to us. But when February marks

Madam President, the eight European laws that make up the Pact on Migration and Asylum have been fully in force since June and Spain is complying with them. It assumes its responsibility in the tremendous crisis in Ceuta and also assumes the cost of respecting the human rights questioned in an extreme situation of external border, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable people, women wi

Madam President, after an hour of intense debate on the protests that are sweeping Europe, two clear lessons: the first is that nothing improves but worsens with fire and violence that is absolutely unacceptable and condemnable; But the second is that the right, which has put this item on the agenda and the language with which it expresses itself, not only does not listen to social anger, but offe

Madam President, If it is the case that only a Spanish-speaking Member is allowed to use the spontaneous interventions, then I think it is right that my dear colleague Marcos Ros Sempere is the first shadow rapporteur to do so.

Madam President, Vice-President Fitto, MEPs born and resident in the outermost regions not only unequivocally support the new strategy for the outermost regions for the coming years, but, in fact, we have demanded it since the start of this legislature. But you have heard, in this debate, of a perfect storm: the return of the war to the European neighbourhood threatens to shift the periscope of th

Mr President,Ein Gespenst geht um in Europe» (A ghost runs through Europe), and it is that of its inability to decide in the face of its own contradictions. An example: the criticism of Turkey's behaviour as unacceptable in Erdogan's government is transversal in this European Parliament, very general, widely shared and also threatening for two Member States of the European Union that deserve not o
