A true geopolitical Europe now (topical debate)

Commissioner, under your leadership, the European Union's foreign policy in the field of geopolitics, to put it mildly, makes the European Union a geopolitical dwarf. When you manage to formulate any position at all, it is usually belated, soft, politically impotent, and always echoes of any positions of external forces. You cannot formulate any position of the European Union on events in the Paci…

2022 Report on Montenegro (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, a laudable effort, unfortunately in the wrong direction and with very little result. Уважаеми колеги, докато продължавате да се правите, че не виждате вредното влияние на Сърбия в региона, докато се правите, че не виждате връзките между Белград и Кремъл, проруската политика, постюгославските бивши комунистически и после социалистически, и после някакви други партии, …

Urgent need for a coordinated European response and legislative framework on intrusive spyware, based on the PEGA inquiry committee recommendations (debate)

Mr President, the Bulgarian Constitution has made it clear that the secrecy of correspondence is inviolable. Nevertheless, despite all the resolutions and fairy tales – some of them quite empty in this Parliament – illegal wiretapping and information-gathering continues. In Bulgaria there is an independent journalist blogger named Stanislav Tsanov. He revealed and extracted information about how h…

The new European strategy for a better internet for kids (BIK+) (B9-0386/2023)

Mr President, of course, I supported this report, although the best thing the European Parliament and the European Commission can do on this subject is not to interfere or touch. Analog people making a strategy for the internet is, to put it mildly, unsuccessful and unreasonable for many reasons, and it can be seen that what is touched by officials does not grow grass after it.

Mr President, there is no doubt - the road to the European Union is Moldova's civilisational choice. And that's right, and that's how it should be. After all, the citizens of Moldova are part of European culture, history and civilization. However, what must be clearly shown and told to the Moldovan authorities is that they must respect the rights and legitimate interests of all communities on the …

Mr President, the invasion of Artsakh by the Azeri troops was something to be expected. Unfortunately, neither the European Commission nor the European Parliament listened. This is essentially a war crime, it is essentially a repetition of the events of 1913-1915 committed by the Ottoman Empire. This is called genocide for the entire Armenian people and the Armenian community. Today we are witness…
