BG Written Statement

Fighting disinformation and dissemination of illegal content in the context of the Digital Services Act and in times of conflict (debate)

To date, the fight against disinformation is a very important task of the Union, as the spread of fake news and disinformation in the media and social networks is so high that there are reversals in the socio-political environments in some Member States. As an example, I can give Bulgaria from three years ago, when on social networks Bulgarian citizens were overwhelmed by fake news that COVID-19 v…

Pre-enlargement reforms and policy reviews (debate)

Madam President, Commissioners, yes, you will need headphones. I'm sure you'll listen with interest to what I'm about to tell you. One of the major failures of this Parliament and Commission mandate was the visible double standard when it came to enlargement. A visible double standard and a refusal to protect basic human rights, which you call European values – human rights such as the right to se…

Standards for the qualification of third-country nationals or stateless persons as beneficiaries of international protection (A8-0245/2017 - Matjaž Nemec)

Mr President, again without surprise, I voted against for the reasons I have just listed in my previous two speeches. There can be no international regulation of processes that need to be managed nationally. Each State has an obligation to protect its territory, and each State has an obligation to decide who it releases and who it does not release into its territory. The idea of some colleagues fr…

Asylum and migration management (A9-0152/2023 - Tomas Tobé)

Mr President, I voted against again for the simple reason that there can be no governance of either migration or so-called refugees that is common and based in Brussels. Firstly, because we are talking about illegal migration, and we are not talking about refugees. We are talking about people who voluntarily want to come to Europe for its social benefits. This cannot be managed. It is neither a co…

Common procedure for international protection in the Union (A8-0171/2018 - Fabienne Keller)

Mr President, I voted firmly against this report because migration, illegal immigration in particular, has proven to be the biggest failure of the governing majority in the European Parliament and the Union since the last term. The invitation to hundreds, to millions of illegal immigrants, the misunderstanding of the case, the replacement of population, of culture, of self-determination, is what w…
