SK Speech

The deterioration of the situation of refugees as a consequence of the Russian aggression against Ukraine (debate)

Commissioner, humanity knows no borders. This is a key testimony from the Slovak-Ukrainian border, the eastern border of the European Union, behind which Putin's bloody war rages.

However, today Mr Orbán’s and Mr Morawiecki’s play for time comes to an end. Today’s ruling confirms what we …

One youth, one Europe (topical debate)

Mr President, this year, the European Year of Youth, is an opportunity to put young people back at the heart of our concerns after the pandemic and, above all, to give them hope for a quality and fulfilling life.

EU-Russia relations, European security and Russia’s military threat against Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, today none of us knows how this crisis will end. But we know for sure that it will determine the future of the entire continent.
