The Rule of Law and the consequences of the ECJ ruling (debate)

Watch

Before I give the floor to Mr Kuhnke for a minute, I must say that we have been told that Mr Dzhambazki would give the Roman salute to the House. If this is true, of course, we will check what has happened, raise the issue and will of course be subject to any sanctions. We'll check with the administration to see if this really happened. It has been pointed out to us and I believe that it is absolu…

Implementation of the common foreign and security policy – annual report 2021 - Implementation of the common security and defence policy – annual report 2021 (debate)

Watch

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have read with great interest the reports on our foreign and security policy and it seems to me that they frame the central point of the matter well: The EU is an economic power, but it is not yet in a position to assert its geopolitical voice. The effects are clear these days: We are witnessing the risk of a war on our eastern flank without having the ap…

MeToo and harassment – the consequences for the EU institutions (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, four years ago now, the MeToo movement spread all over the world thanks to force, thanks to the determination of some women who decided to denounce harassment and abuse received from men of power. So, I want to say it clearly, once again, in this House, once again to the colleagues who deny it: True, not all men are harassers, of course, but all the harassment w…

Combating gender-based violence: cyberviolence (continuation of debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, violence has ancient roots, but it has new forms in which it manifests itself and these new forms require all of us and our strategies to renew themselves, to find new ways. The forms through which violence manifests itself change over time and today they can make use of the help of new technologies and virtual space, but all this has very concr…

The International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women and the State of play on the ratification of the Istanbul Convention (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, one victim every six hours in Europe, every six hours. These are numbers, stories, talking about each of us, talking about each of us, because each of us, directly or indirectly, has experienced that violence.

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today we are leaving behind a long job, as has been said, a complex job, a difficult job, but also a long-awaited job, which has led us to compare in these three long years of work very different positions, even very distant ones, until we reach what I consider to be a satisfactory balance, which today we deliver to European citizens.

The state law relating to abortion in Texas, USA

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, reactionary and subversive governments, as we know, always attack the rights of everyone. But they always start, and history teaches us, from women's rights. Reactionaries don't like women being free, reactionaries don't like women being able to choose, whether it's their careers, their loves, their bodies, and yes, their lives. This liberticida…

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Madam Commissioner, weeping, screaming, pleading, the sound of broken doors. These, Mr President, are the noises that accompany the study of the cases of the so-called "parental alienation syndrome", as noted by Daniela Poggio who is a feminist and a PAS scholar.

Identifying gender-based violence as a new area of crime listed in Article 83(1) TFEU (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, eight women have been killed in Italy over the last week. The last one today, a few hours ago, in Vicenza. In Europe, we know, we count one victim every six hours and so I want to be very clear, colleagues, this is not and cannot be a women's problem, just because it is women who are the victims. This immense crime against humanity concerns the very definition o…
