Young researchers (B9-0491/2023)

Watch

Mr President, I voted in favour of this resolution for young researchers because, indeed, researchers in all Member States need some form of support. For example, in Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries, support for young doctoral students is clearly not enough for them to have a quality of life that allows them to develop and work scientifically. Not to mention the importance of this for…

Jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition of decisions and acceptance of authentic instruments in matters of parenthood and creation of a European Certificate of Parenthood (A9-0368/2023 - Maria-Manuel Leitão-Marques)

Watch

on behalf of the ALDE Group. - Mr President, I have strongly voted against this report. This is one of the most important documents adopted by this European Union. In it, in this report, which absolutely changes its meaning – it is called almost for the protection of the rights of persons who are adopting and adopted, it is in fact an undisguised propaganda of the so-called rainbow families, same-…

Improving the strategic approach to the enforcement of EU Law (debate)

Watch

Member of the Commission. - Mr President, my colleague Kohut, a little something has got the debate mixed up, I hope it's okay with his thoughts on suicide. At the end of the day, everyone says whatever they want. It's kind of like Hyde Park, but that's not the point. The topic is on how to improve the application of European Union law. Here I immediately address the Commissioner with a remark on …

Non-objection mechanisms in international conventions to which the European Union is a party (debate)

Watch

Mr President, there are exactly six people in this House, which is a scandalous attitude to the debates, because it is not even afternoon. I'm tempted to ask you to check the quorum and close this meeting, which would straighten everyone's hair. So maybe it is right, because such an attitude to debates is offensive. Mr. Chairman, please take a stand. Let the groups gather the people to come to the…

Jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition of decisions and acceptance of authentic instruments in matters of parenthood and creation of a European Certificate of Parenthood (debate)

Watch

My colleague Ilčić is right. This report is not about the right to parenthood and the right to adoption, this report is only about the imposition of LGBT ideology, about same-sex marriage, about rainbow families, about pink ponies, unicorns and all the other things that are in your heads, colleagues. And it proves the text of the report and your behavior here in the room. Two-thirds of those defen…

Jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition of decisions and acceptance of authentic instruments in matters of parenthood and creation of a European Certificate of Parenthood (debate)

Watch

My dear fellow Member, you said that a minority had a different opinion in this House. Was it not your group and your groups who argued that every minority should be respected and that the opinion of every minority should be taken into account? If that is the case, dear lady, then you should consider and respect and take into account the opinion of the minority. Am I wrong or am I not wrong?…

The European Elections 2024 (debate)

Madam President, an expected leftist, expected federalist, expectedly not very much saying report, carried out in the best traditions of the European Union. I congratulate his authors, who look at me there wisely, who write and say in an awful lot of words little, little essential things. I see they're happy, which is good. I'm serious here. However, these things with the leading candidate, with f…

Job creation – the just transition and impact investments (A9-0342/2023 - Sara Matthieu)

Watch

Madam President, "Job creation, just transition, positive investments" is the report that I did not support and voted against. Dear colleagues, this sounds like the title of a report delivered to the Political Bureau of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the European Soviet Union on the successful implementation of the Five-Year Plan or in the countries of the Union f…

Strategic Compass and EU space-based defence capabilities (A9-0334/2023 - Arnaud Danjean)

Watch

Madam President, I voted in favour of the report on this strategic compass and the European Union's space-based defence capabilities. In the current geopolitical context of increasing strategic competition and increasing threats to the European Union, decisive steps must be taken to ensure its security. On 10 March 2023, the first ever EU space strategy for security and defence was adopted, and th…

Young researchers (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, I rarely approve and rarely agree with Commission proposals, but that is one such thing. This is a good undertaking, so the Commission can be congratulated, which rarely happens to me. I want you to mark it. That's not usually the case. And yes, the suggestion to support young researchers is useful, but if you accept recommendations, I would make one, of course, and …

Proposals of the European Parliament for the amendment of the Treaties (A9-0337/2023 - Guy Verhofstadt, Sven Simon, Gabriele Bischoff, Daniel Freund, Helmut Scholz)

Watch

Madam President, I have strongly voted against this proposal because it is harmful, it is against the interests of citizens, of the Member States. Not only do you turn the European Union into a European Soviet Union, as you rename even the Commission to an Executive Commission – this is like the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Commissioner-General…

30 years of Copenhagen criteria - giving further impetus to EU enlargement policy (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the Copenhagen criteria are a very good thing, but they are not respected. They are not respected and are not applied as they should be. This should mean that communities that can and want to define themselves in a certain way should be able to do so. Especially countries that want to be candidates for membership in the European Union. Such a country is, forgive the repetition, North…

This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Nikolay Denkov (debate)

Madam President, Mr Prime Minister, colleagues, Prime Minister, you started your introduction with short historical references, which, however, from my point of view, were quite, quite partial. Let me remind you that around today's dates in the years back, there is also the Neuilly dictatorship and the illegal occupation of the western Bulgarian outskirts, the black border, which happen with the c…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, while the European Parliament is struggling to preserve the European eel, something certainly very important, and in Bulgaria the inept government, the non-coalition assembly, manages to fail, to steal and to corrupt an election. There's no joke, there's no cheating. At 9.45 on 20 November, the European Parliament debated the European eel. These are good things, important things. In …

Type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) (A9-0298/2023 - Alexandr Vondra)

Watch

Madam President, I have strongly voted against this report. This report once again introduces legal requirements that will lead to uncertainty in car production and lead to higher car prices. Despite the commitments made not to introduce more standards, we see once again an attempt at a new restriction that will make cars more expensive, which will take away people's ability to move around. This i…

EU enlargement policy 2023 (debate)

Mr President, let me not quarrel with you today. We are friends with you, but I can't help but notice the following fact. You are now talking about how democratic, how pro-European, pro-Western Serbia is, and now, literally an hour ago, four Bulgarian citizens – two MPs and one party president – are stopped at the Bulgarian-Serbian border and cannot enter to see the Bulgarians, the Bulgarian minor…

Generational renewal in the EU farms of the future (A9-0283/2023 - Isabel Carvalhais)

Watch

Mr President, I supported this report because it is an indisputable fact that farmers are ageing and there is less and less generational renewal in the area. I agree with the findings made in the text that a fair and decent income and an adequate quality of life for farmers and their families are essential for attracting new young people to the agricultural sector. I also firmly believe that this …

European protein strategy (A9-0281/2023 - Emma Wiesner)

Watch

Mr President, I definitely voted against this so-called strategy. I believe that a report whose aim must be to enable an increase in protein production in the Union and to support and incentivise farmers is unacceptable. Instead, let's talk about developing the potential for growing insect proteins intended for human consumption and animal feed as a method of reducing dependence on imports. Why do…

Recent developments in the Serbia-Kosovo dialogue, including the situation in the northern municipalities in Kosovo (RC-B9-0437/2023, B9-0437/2023, B9-0439/2023, B9-0440/2023, B9-0441/2023, B9-0446/2023)

Watch

Mr President, I supported this report because Kosovo society deserves this, and Kosovo, the people of Kosovo, are perhaps closest to the European idea, to European values, and they deserve to be part of the European Union. What needs to be realized in this Chamber is that the policy of Serbia, which is pro-Comintern, pro-Yugoslav, pro-Kremlin to a great extent, is hindering all the time and this m…

At the same time, this same Commission makes all kinds of ob…

Islamist terrorist attack on French schools and the need to protect people and promote social cohesion (debate)

Mr President, the terrorist Islamist attacks in French schools are a direct consequence of the outrageous, irresponsible and politically impotent governance of the European states in Western Europe and of the European Commission. For years, false integration, massive migration, illegal migration. Years of covering up illegal migrants, Islamist cells, years of turning a blind eye to how people come…
