AccessibleEU Centre in support of accessibility policies in the EU internal market (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, the Renew Europe Group has always been and will always be a voice for persons with disabilities. I have said it before but it bears repeating: our society will never be complete until all our citizens can play a full part in it, including the more than 100 million EU citizens with a disability. The report we discussed today highlights two of the barriers to an inclus…

Radio Equipment Directive: common charger for electronic devices (debate)

Madam President, we made it after many years of memorandums of understanding, after years of asking the Commission to act, we made it. The common charger is an example of the European Union making people’s lives easier: no more searching for the right cable, while also protecting the planet from unnecessary electronic waste. Consumers will have a choice: the choice to buy a new device with or with…

Nicaragua, in particular the arrest of the bishop Rolando Álvarez

Madam President, Commissioner, we are seeing that the repression of the Ortega regime does not stop or stop at anything: journalists, students, political opponents, NGOs and, if that were not enough, now also priests. The Catholic Church is the last remaining independent institution in Nicaragua; The attacks against the Church represent the coup de grace against democracy in the country. This is t…

Those who say we can meet these challenges without nuclear are wrong.

Digital Services Act - Digital Markets Act (debate)

Mr President, this is a big step, a huge change, and a huge chance to make the digital world better.

The instrumentalisation of justice as a repressive tool in Nicaragua

Madam President, today we send a clear message: Daniel Ortega's regime is a dictatorship that has destroyed the rule of law. It continues to systematically violate human rights, imprisoning opponents, members of NGOs, intellectuals, students and journalists with the collusion of the judiciary. More than 400 organizations can no longer work in the country. Thousands of Nicaraguans have fled into ex…
