The situation in the Strait of Taiwan (debate)

Watch

Madam President, High Representative, colleagues, to counter Chinese belligerence towards Taiwan or others in the Indo-Pacific, we must learn the lessons from Ukraine: don’t become dependent on cheap energy or exports; arm your allies before the enemy attacks; work with partners in the region as well as outside (the United States) to decouple from China and secure stability in the Indo-Pacific; st…

The relations of the Russian government and diplomatic network with parties of extremist, populist, anti-European and certain other European political parties in the context of the war (debate)

Watch

Madam President, thank you very much. Let me tell you about the Swedish Centre Party. This party has long poisoned the debate at home in Sweden with accusations of Putin-friendliness. A month ago, their leader, Annie Lööf, questioned the blue-yellow Conservative bloc's security credibility and demanded guarantees that it would not sit on Putinists in high government positions. VoteWatch then relea…

Madam President, thank you very much. Forests are not mentioned in the Treaties. Sweden has never given power over forest policy to the EU. Nevertheless, the Commission wants to transform our forest – our national treasure – into a carbon reserve. They base their proposal on the Treaty provisions on the prudent and rational use of natural resources, as well as a ruling by the European Court of Jus…

The call for a Convention for the revision of the Treaties (debate)

Mr President, the left liberal majority in this House, led by centraliser-in-chief Guy Verhofstadt, seeks to abolish national vetoes, expand powers for the Union in the areas of health, energy, defence and social and economic policy. And ensure the European Pillar of Social Rights, which spawned the Minimum Wage Directive, a direct attack on the Swedish labour model, is fully implemented. This Hou…

This is Europe - Debate with the Taoiseach of Ireland, Micheál Martin (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Taoiseach Martin, the Swedish Social Democrats hoped that the amnesty from migrants in 2005 would give us pause. The opposite happened: pull factors increased. The following decade meant a migration wave we’ve never seen before. This year, one shooting a day, one bombing a week, and areas ruled by criminal gangs and clans caused to name my country the most dangerous country in Eur…

The fight against impunity for war crimes in Ukraine (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Putin expected a swift victory – against all odds Ukraine turned the tide. With almost 12 000 Russian war crimes reported, one wonders what is Emmanuel Macron’s and Olaf Scholz’s top concern? Holding war criminals to account? No. Both are desperately trying to get back to business as usual – buying gas, selling arms. Both want to help Putin save face by pressuring Ukraine to cede par…

Madam President, colleagues, I’d like to thank you for the constructive negotiations yesterday. The ancient military strategist Sun Tzu wrote, ‘If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you’re certain in every battle to be in peril.’ Let us get to know the nature of China’s one-party Communist state that President Ursula von der Leyen labelled a ‘competitor’ and a ‘rival’.

Mr President, thank you very much. Have any of you liberals and socialists heard of the Easter riots in Sweden? Nearly 200 police officers were injured in perhaps the most violent riots in Sweden's history. We heard the battle cry ‘Allahu akbar’. We saw a pure hatred of the majority society. So did the Christians who were attacked in Spain and France while practicing their faith in immigrant-dense…

Outcome of the EU-China Summit (1 April 2022) (debate)

Mr President, ‘gullible’ is defined as someone who is deceived or tricked and too willing to believe everything that other people say. I’m afraid no word better describes the EU’s relationship with China over the last few decades. China fooled the world on trade, the origins of COVID—19, and now they’re trying to fool us on their support for Russia. Last year, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reit…

Destruction of cultural heritage in Nagorno-Karabakh

Madam President, Commissioner, I witnessed the results of the Islamic State’s cultural genocide against Christians, Chaldeans, Assyrians and Syriacs when I visited Iraq and Syria. Desecrated millennia-old churches, decapitated statues of Mary, destroyed icons, charred pages from Bibles that littered the streets. To destroy cultural heritage is to erase an identity, a history, a nation. Azerbaijan’…

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

Mr President, the Kremlin’s useful idiots are historically found on the left. It saddens me that some on the right have become infatuated with Putin’s pretend conservatism. All conservatives should know that Putin is not a traditionalist bulwark standing up against the weak woke West. Putin has built a morally bankrupt system. Systematic bribes, corruption, killings, stealing, lies and now sending…
