Deplorable escalation of violence around the football match in the Netherlands and the unacceptable attacks against Israeli football fans (debate)

Evin Incir, I advise you to go and visit the victims of the families of hostages in Gaza. I advise you to broaden your picture. I advise you to visit the kibbutz that I have visited and see this with your own eyes, so that you get a more balanced picture of the conflict that is taking place on the ground in Israel. I note that you were very careful to point out so-called provocations that had taken place, by Maccabi Haifa's fans. Yeah, but these pogroms were planned days in advance. You know that. And you, I'm not lying about your trip. You canceled it because your members didn't want to go to Auschwitz. You know that. Anyone can translate the articles found in the Swedish media about this public relations crash from the Social Democrats.

Deplorable escalation of violence around the football match in the Netherlands and the unacceptable attacks against Israeli football fans (debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. The point I am trying to make is that you are standing here condemning the violence in Amsterdam today, but that tomorrow you will defend the right of these people to remain in Europe. You are going to do that because you have very big problems internally. When your party tried, so to speak, to counter anti-Semitism by sending down your youth wing on a field trip to Auschwitz, the youth wing refused to go to Auschwitz. I mean, you have a lot of yourself to work with and we condemn all violence, no matter who it is directed at. End of point.

Mr President, today the woke Greens, Socialists, Liberals, Left will condemn, express outrage, shock and horror at the pogroms in Amsterdam. But what will you do tomorrow? When we want harder punishment, you will gripe. When we try to deport, you will protest. When we try to strip citizenships, you will defend these thugs. Why do you want them here? And why in the world do you want more of them? I think I know why. Pure self-interest, isn't it? You need new voters after abandoning regular workers and the middle class.

Managing migration in an effective and holistic way through fostering returns (debate)

Madam President, colleagues, the right won the election. Securing the border – once rejected as heresy – has become mainstream. The Council, even the Commission, recognise the need to prevent illegal entry, host refugees outside the EU and swiftly deport illegal migrants. But will the European Parliament defend Europe or open the floodgates? On Monday, this House rejected the left's attempt to control the debate on migration. Now they will use their superpower – their unrivalled ability to whine and cry. For the past decade, this House has indulged the left colleagues. We cannot afford to lose another decade to leftist tears. There is a right‑wing majority in this House to stop illegal migration, stop asylum abuse, and stop the weaponisation of migrants. It's time we use it.

State sponsored terrorism by the Islamic Republic of Iran in light of the recent attacks in Europe (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Israeli embassies in Stockholm and Copenhagen were recently attacked. Rawa Majid's criminal gang carried out these terrorist acts on behalf of the mullahs in Tehran. The Islamist regime has previously used gang members to carry out similar attacks and also sent its agents to murder Swedes in Sweden. It is time to fight back, and we must fight back hard enough to deter the Islamist regime and the terror government. Otherwise, many bloody years await, when other rogue states begin to act on the same pattern. Sweden and the EU should, of course, classify the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which ordered the terrorist attacks. The Swedish Democrats have been advocating this for a long time, but it is not enough deterrence. We should also close the Iranian embassies in Europe. But that's not enough either. Iran and other rogue states will not be deterred until we demonstrate the capacity and willingness to fight back as hard as Israel. After decades of mass immigration, we now have our own homegrown fifth column of gang soldiers willing to strike targets in Europe on the orders of rogue states – anytime, anywhere, as long as they get paid. The gangs are not deterred until we learn from and work with the United States and Israel to liquidate gang leaders who sit safely in third countries and hire out their soldiers to the highest-offering terror state. Barack Obama made the decision to liquidate the jihadist Anwar al-Awlaki. He was an American citizen. He was hiding in Yemen. Let's do the same with Rawa Majid.

Protecting the EU budget and ensuring that EU funds do not benefit entities or individuals linked to terrorist or Islamist movement (debate)

Madam President, finally, the European Parliament is holding a debate here in the plenary about the scandalous fact that European taxpayers' money is being channelled to Islamists via the EU budget. Yes, the debate is taking place against the will of the Socialists and the Greens. You don't want the facts in the open. And when we want to condemn EU sponsorship of the glorification of the veil, the infamous 'freedom is in the hijab' campaign, for example, you vote against a condemnation. Why is that? Madam President, after I informed the French, Czech and Swedish Governments about EU support for Islamists, the Commission promised to review the rules. Positive signals, but this year it has been revealed that both Jihadists in Türkiye and the Al Sharq Forum, with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, have received EU funds. The current Commission, I'm sorry to say, Commissioner, but you failed. It is imperative that the new Commission stops, once and for all, the flow of taxpayer money to these organisations that want to destroy our Western societies.

Strengthening the security of Europe’s external borders: need for a comprehensive approach and enhanced Frontex support (debate)

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your Welcome to the European Parliament, Mrs Henriksson! You spoke about the Russian hybrid warfare against Finland and you were the Minister of Justice in the red-green-liberal government that decided to erect a physical border barrier with Russia. But your Liberal Group in this House does not want such solutions. They are voting against the EU helping Finland financially when building physical border barriers. Will you push for the Renew Group to sober up and actually start helping border states to stop states like Russia in this hybrid warfare?

Strengthening the security of Europe’s external borders: need for a comprehensive approach and enhanced Frontex support (debate)

Mr President, colleagues, the need for a comprehensive approach to secure Europe's external borders is what we are here to debate. And yet the approach cannot be comprehensive nor effective without physical border barriers. But the EU won't fund that. Frontier Member States should not face the Russian threat alone, nor the Belarussian, Moroccan, Turkish... Helping them with IT and surveillance systems is good, but not enough to delay and prevent migrants from entering illegally. If the Commission keeps refusing to change its mind, the Council and Parliament will have to force them to fund border barriers through, for example, the Integrated Border Management Fund. The comprehensive approach needed to secure Europe's borders should, has to, include funding of physical border barriers. Time to get the job done!

The right has long called for safe third countries to host asylum seekers, as the EPP and 15 Member States have done. Do the Social Democrats? The right wants to make trade, aid and visas conditional on returns and readmissions, as Greece and the EPP have called for. Do the Greens? Our voters want us to deliver on our promises to secure Europe's external borders and return illegal migrants.

The reintroduction of internal border controls in a number of Member States and its impact on the Schengen Area (debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. Commissioner Johansson. The European Parliament loves to condemn border controls. You have condemned Sweden and Denmark, and now it is Germany's turn. We are in breach of the principle of free movement. But if something breaks all the time, it may not be the user that is at fault. There may be something wrong with the design. Today, the right to free movement also applies to organised criminals, illegal migrants and Islamists. Today, border police officers in the EU cannot stop or apprehend an illegal migrant on the grounds that an illegal border crossing has taken place. This has been decided by the European Court of Justice. Why? Well, in today's Schengen cooperation, the principle of free movement is paramount. The EPP spoke of being constructive. Let us then take up the reality and reform Schengen. Reserve the free movement of law-abiding citizens and legal migrants. Prohibit organised crime, repeat offenders and those who have entered Europe illegally from travelling within and into the EU for life. Let's make Europe safe again.

Organised crime, a major threat to the internal security of the European Union and European citizens (topical debate)

Madam President, Commissioner Hahn, organised crime threatens citizens' lives and undermines the rule of law in Europe. After a decade of ignoring the problem, the Swedish Government is tackling criminal gangs, increasing patrols in high risk areas and empowering specialised units to dismantle organised crime networks and allocating more resources to law enforcement. But we cannot tackle this problem alone. Improved intelligence sharing and coordinated operations with international partners is a vital component to fighting cross-border criminal organisations. A global coalition brought down the 'Ghost' communication platform used by drug gangs and murderers. Congratulations to all law enforcement agencies involved. Intergovernmental cooperation works. Lastly, tougher laws targeting organised crime and stronger protection for whistleblowers deter criminal activity and send a strong message that we will not tolerate organised crime. Colleagues, it's time to stop being soft on crime. Let's make Europe safe again.

Persistent problems of anti-Semitism in Europe and of other forms of hate speech and hate crimes (debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. Terrorists are hailed, anti-Semites chant battle cries. This is the situation in Europe after decades of socially fragmented mass migration. In Sweden, representatives of Magdalena Andersson's government base spread anti-Semitic messages, and when the Social Democrats try to wash away anti-Semitism in their own party through study visits to Auschwitz, everyone in the youth organization SSU jumps off the trip. The same party that demands Richard Jomshof's resignation for sharing satire images that warn of social development. It's not just hypocrisy, it's worse than that. This is freedom of speech in the Democratic Party. Anti-Semitism is allowed to flourish. The flags of Hamas are flying in the wind. But if you criticize high immigration from Islamic countries, well, then it's incitement and hatred. Islamophobia. Resign. Prison. It should be the other way around. Punish sedition, prosecute those who celebrate violence and terrorism, but also ask yourself why? The same crowd that pays homage to your Social Democratic representatives is also chantingKhaybar, Khaybar, ya yahud". It's your supporters chanting like that, Evin Incir.

Need to prevent security threats like the Solingen attack through addressing illegal migration and effective return (debate)

The same gang that now sells lottery tickets for the Swedish Social Democrats. In 2024, 39-year-old Mikael is shot in the head in front of his 12-year-old son on his way to the swimming pool. 2019 20-year-old Alexander is tortured for a winter jacket. The murder is filmed and the abuser, a stateless Palestinian, brags about how Alexander was taped together as a Jew and the pig was slaughtered.

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your Mrs. von der Leyen. Voters in Europe sent a clear signal on 9 June. They voted for a middle-right majority in this house. But, Ursula von der Leyen, you and your bourgeois group, the EPP, have chosen to negotiate on the left, and we saw the result in your speech today. Nuclear power was not mentioned in a single word in the speech, after five years of one-sided focus on weather-dependent power. The need to deport illegal migrants was not mentioned in a word today, even though we know that the Left stopped the Return Directive from being decided as part of the migration pact during the last legislature. Subsidiarity is not respected. You want to be involved in housing policy and health policy. You are proposing treaty changes that you know the left will use for transfers of power.

Iran’s unprecedented attack against Israel, the need for de-escalation and an EU response (debate)

Mr President, Mr Borrell, you’re a liar. For a year, you’ve claimed that in order for the EU to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror organisation, a national authority in the EU must have found the IRGC has been involved in terrorist activity. That is nonsense! Here I have the Council’s secret legal opinion. Nowhere in this document does it say that it has to be an authority in the EU. In fact, the term ‘competent authority’ also includes authorities of third states. High Representative, you had this document. You knew the truth. You shamelessly lied to protect the IRGC.

Mr President, foreign countries are refusing to take back their citizens. They’ve taken billions of our taxpayers’ money, but they won’t take their migrants. Greece has had enough. Its Minister for Asylum and Migration called for sanctions and the removal of aid for countries that do not cooperate. I agree. The EU needs a deportation mechanism. You’re an African head of state enjoying foreign aid from Europe – we’ll deduct EUR 20 000 for every migrant your country refuses to take back. And sanctions shouldn’t be just for Putin and other bad guys. Apply them to all countries who won’t accept returns of their citizens. It’s often said that Europe has soft power.

Energy performance of buildings (recast) (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Germany's finance minister described forced renovations for very large amounts as hugely dangerous. A proposal that could jeopardize social peace. Politicians were afraid of voters' reactions, and the original proposal that would shock raised rents and lower housing values was so unreasonable that it was stopped. However, homeowners and tenants do not forget that the Swedish Social Democrats voted for the forced renovations. The directive voted on this week will not be as expensive as expected, but it will be renegotiated in 2028 and then the demands for forced renovations may return. The question voters should ask themselves is who they want to represent their interests here in the European Parliament when that day comes? Social Democrats who vote for bad proposals and then celebrate when proposals they voted for are stopped – or Sweden Democrats who put Sweden first and vote no to costly EU bills.

Strengthening European Defence in a volatile geopolitical landscape - Implementation of the common foreign and security policy – annual report 2023 - Implementation of the common security and defence policy – annual report 2023 (joint debate - European security and defence)

Mr President, Russia and Belarus weaponise migrants against Europe’s frontier. Yet the resolve of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland holds strong – border barriers work. Unfortunately, the Commission believes physical barriers don’t efficiently improve border management and refuses to fund them. That’s a security problem. They believe EU funds are better spent – I’m not joking – on circus workshops to integrate military-age male migrants and empty parties in the metaverse. Every year, hundreds of thousands of migrants are told to return. Everybody knows it: they don’t! Because their countries won’t even take them back. Greece wants sanctions against those countries, an EU deportation mechanism. We should support them – it should be in this report – and use the sanctions to pay for physical border barriers. The Commission should immediately inform uncooperative countries that for every migrant they refuse, EUR 20 000 will be deducted from the EU funds they receive. And for every weaponised illegal migrant entering Europe, it will cost them EUR 200 000. Some of you talk about Fortress Europe like it’s a bad thing.

Recommendation to the Council, the Commission and the EEAS on the situation in Syria (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Europe's refugee policy has collapsed. This resolution on Syria shows that the cause is ideological. Sweden has received 160,000 Syrian refugees, which has exacerbated our problems with segregation and Islamism, and we see similar problems in other countries. Those who came here from Syria would receive temporary protection. The experts at both the EU Agency for Asylum and the Swedish Migration Agency have concluded that the Damascus and Tartus regions are safe and that refugees can return there. But here in the European Parliament, liberals and social democrats want to state, contrary to the experts, that Syria cannot be considered, in whole or in part, a safe country to return to. It can't be clearer. When the liberal left gets to decide, refugee policy is transformed into settler policy, and ordinary people pay the price. It's completely unsustainable.

Human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2023 (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Last year, the Sweden Democrats gathered a majority for the EU to stop funding campaigns with messages like "Freedom lies in the hijab". Unfortunately, the Commission did not listen and a few hours later, Ylva Johansson's Directorate-General had posted the next hijab-normalising video about football and girls in hijab. Hijab is coercion and oppression. Hijab is honor culture and honor violence. Hijab is the weapon of mullahs and moral police. Hijab is inequality and religious extremism. Hijab signals that women are property. The annual report on human rights and democracy does not mention Islamism once, but instead claims that Islamophobia, as it is called, is a major global problem.

Mr President, thank you very much. SVT made it the first news that the Sweden Democrats want to reform the EU's climate policy.

Ebba Busch, isn't it the case that the demand for batteries and the expansion of wind power are actually increasing China's dependence? KD has also opened up the possibility of abolishing the ban on internal combustion engines. The KD and Moderate Party groups talk about climate policy as torture against farmers, and the proposal for forced renovations is, incidentally, only a foretaste of the price tag for climate policy that is to come. The Sweden Democrats want to protect ordinary people from cost shocks and we want to ensure the survival of the industry. This is the only sustainable climate policy. It's not radical. The radical thing is to legislate draconian laws without impact assessment.

Recent attacks on Christmas Eve in Plateau State in Nigeria

Mr President, in the wake of the slaughter of 335 Christians by Muslims in Nigeria, I very much welcome this debate. Atrocities against Christians don’t fit the EU narrative. We just heard the left label the systematic persecution of Christians in Nigeria a tribal conflict between herdsmen and farmers. Well, was it a coincidence that the slaughter and burning of churches took place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I wonder? Fact: 90 % of Christian martyrs are Nigerian. It is wilful ignorance to claim the religion of peace did not motivate these brutal killings. The EU is not exerting real pressure on Nigeria to bring these terrorists to justice and restore law and order, because Christian victims do not fit the post-colonial worldview of the left. That’s why.
