Speeches

Madam President, yes, it is a point of order, if I may. I would like to ask you to postpone Wiener report, ‘Sustainable use of plant protection products’, under Rule 200.

Madam President, Mr Prime Minister, colleagues, Prime Minister, you started your introduction with short historical references, which, however, from my point of view, were quite, quite partial.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 consent of the state of France, to which you thank today. With tacit consent, violation of treaties, division of settlements, persecution of people, only, the intervention of President Wilson saved the Bulgarian nation from division. This should also be remembered, it should be said specifically here in Strasbourg, because no one benefits from the partial citation of history. My impression, Prime Minister, is that you were wrong about President Kennedy's epitaph on his tombstone. You said, we need to see what we are doing for Europe, for the European Union. You are a Bulgarian Prime Minister, not a high-ranking European official. You have to ask yourself what the Bulgarian government is doing for the Bulgarian citizens. Every morning in front of the mirror you should ask yourself this, because the Bulgarian citizens are your bosses and employers, not the European bureaucrats. These are the important things. Otherwise you said that you see white balloons, that you see beautiful colorful kites and colorful balloons, white pigeons. Surely, however, Bulgarian citizens see high prices for fuel, transport, etc. This is because Bulgaria is not in Schengen and Bulgaria is not in Schengen, Mr Denkov, because the economic interests of some of the European countries stand in the way, they are economic. Bulgaria has fulfilled all its obligations, but some people are fulfilling their economic interests, and that is what you should tell them. You are the Prime Minister. You have to say in the European Council, Bulgarian citizens cannot suffer because of your economic interests. There can be no high prices, the Bulgarians cannot stay outside. We can't be second-hand people. He can't. It is not European, it is not European and it is not right. Everything else is hypocrisy. Everything else is a double standard. We can't afford this thing. You are not a travel agent. You are the Prime Minister. You have to knock on the table and talk important to these people so that they understand you. You also quoted our support for Ukraine. It's important, and it has to be there, of course. But when we support people in distress and need, you should demand the support of these people for Macedonia, for the Bulgarian cause in Macedonia. Because you didn't mention a word about repression, about violence, about the denial of the right to self-determination. Colleague Séjourne, you talk about how you will support us, but there are people in your group who pretend not to see the violence against the Bulgarians in Macedonia. Explain it to them. They are in your group. You are applying for Renew. There will be chiefs of MRF, they in Bulgaria will be your chiefs and here they will be your chiefs. There's nothing wrong with that. That's how you chose it, and that's how you arranged it. No, this is not a problem especially, but still tell them there is violence against the Bulgarians in Macedonia. This is not European. The right to self-determination, the right to national self-esteem, the right to national dignity are European values, European values. Behind you are your diplomats. Tell them, when defending these cases in Strasbourg, to be more active, to really defend the Bulgarian cause. Because these are the important things. Oh, hey, hey! The western outskirts, we talked about the occupation, about the Neuilly Dictatorship. There's a poet there named Ivan Nikolov. This month on the eighth, on Arkhangelovden, on the day of occupation, of Kosovo were Serbian authorities and civilian policemen with a poet. They're searching him. Call him, look at this man, give him support. His right to self-determination was violated by the Serbian authorities, pro-Belgrade, pro-Kremlin. This also happens in Macedonia, this is denied to the Bulgarians and this cannot continue in the same way. About Schengen, we've already talked about it. You were going to check the subsidies, but check them, the agricultural ones. The difference in subsidies is what makes Bulgarian farmers poorer, less competitive. This has to be checked and this has to be put here. This needs to be discussed and put on the agenda. Carriers, you once again talked a lot about what is happening in an international context in Chad, in Mali and in Burkina Faso. These are important things, but I think the agenda of the Bulgarian Prime Minister and the focus should be on the interests of the Bulgarian citizens and how they, the Bulgarian citizens, should have access to the single market, to travel, to the European perspectives and horizons, and not to be second-hand citizens. So on a personal level I wish you good health, but in political terms you will need a lot of firmness, a lot of courage, a lot of character and a lot of political backbone to defend the Bulgarian interest. The Bulgarian interest in the formats you have to represent it and you have to resist it.

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 the midst of two fierce wars raging on our borders, we, you fight the eel, for it, I don't know. One would think that it might be difficult to make Parliament look more ridiculous, but you are doing your best. Anyway, it's not that important. More importantly, however, in Bulgaria, a deputy minister from the Democratic Bulgaria quota steals codes for voting machines, after which machine voting is cancelled, paper voting comes, and is abused. Four hundred thousand invalid voices and again people are deceived. But it's quiet here. You're not talking about these things, you're fighting for the young European eel population. This is what the European Union and the European Parliament look like. Don't be surprised, don't be angry later.

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 is a reminder from the old Soviet times, when the right to personal, individual private property was not allowed, and European officials would decide who could move and who could not move. Total nonsense, against every economic logic, against every market logic. This is an ecological political Brussels bubble, which once again shows that people in Brussels have lost touch with reality and what they are doing is only directed against the interests of consumers.

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 minority, in the occupied western Bulgarian outskirts. This is happening right now. And I ask you whether this is a democracy and whether these are European values? The same is true with regard to the issue of North Macedonia. If we disregard the paid pro-Belgrade, pro-Kremlin balalaikas that we hear here in the hall, we ask ourselves where the entry of the Bulgarians, the Croats and the other communities in the Constitution of the Republic of North Macedonia went. They were supposed to be in a year ago, weren't they? Such were the promises, but this, of course, did not happen, because there are, I say again, pro-Serbian, pro-Russian forces lying to you. I don't know why you fall for this stuff. I know a lot of people because it's understandable. Five-pointed means she talks a lot, but that's another topic. So fairy tales are a good thing, a very good thing, democracy is a good thing, too, but facts are facts. Please check the case, there are stopped Bulgarian citizens who are not admitted to the Western Bulgarian outskirts. I was asking you a question anyway.

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 is the future of Europe and the future of feeding the continent and the people who live on it. One of the main barriers for young farmers is access to land. Due to its specific nature, it is both expensive and limited. I believe that we must make the best use of the opportunities that the Common Agricultural Policy presents to support so-called generational renewal and that rural areas must be developed as places providing suitable living and development conditions for young and new farmers and their families. Clean food is extremely important and it will be much sought after and much needed. And of course, I can't help but comment on how ridiculously the title of this report was formulated to avoid young farmers, the long explanation, the farms of the future and so on, which is political correctness, superfluous and burdensome, but in general the report is good.

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 we forget that animal proteins in the European Union are produced according to some of the highest standards of sustainability and animal welfare, the climate and the environment in the world? If the European Commission really wants to create a workable strategy, this must be based on a holistic approach aimed at farmers and involve farmers, and not make us dependent on proteins produced by locusts, moths, cockroaches, mosquitoes and any other such nonsense. I cannot understand how, on the one hand, agriculture is being destroyed, how producers are being persecuted abroad, how imports from third countries such as Turkey, such as Brazil, are increasing. Brazil, meat from Brazil, from Argentina. And here we will see a bunch of moths, mosquitoes, insects and all sorts of other crazy things. This is just another insanity. I can't support him.

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 must be ended. And there are a lot of compromises here, because there is the wrong idea that you can get along with both sides at the same time and that there will be “both the wolf being full and the lamb being whole”. This has never been, and never will be. But yes, Kosovo deserves support and should be part of the European Union. And now, within a minute, allow me a very brief comment, Mr President. Yeah, you're right. The colleague who raised the issue should have stayed here and listened to your reply. But I repeat for eight years now that this debate on Thursday makes a bad impression on the people who watch the room, which is empty. This is not a reproach to you, but to Parliament, which must find a way to make this debate, as part of the agenda, more frequent, not look empty.

Commissioner, allow me to congratulate you on the speed with which you are entering the topics. You seem to have a side and you're doing great. But let me also express my disagreement with this very Commission proposal, which has not been drawn up by you. The Commission is trying to introduce or make a policy aimed at the social economy. At the same time, this same Commission makes all kinds of obstacles for entrepreneurs, introduces taxes like air, introduces constantly new and new requirements for costs to producers, to energy, to farmers, to transport business. He chases this business from Europe, other countries accept him as the United States of America, which even gives state aid to our business and entrepreneurship. And this same Commission wants to redistribute the wealth that it drives away from the European continent. I hear colleagues from the Left. They love to distribute wealth. Create it for me first, colleagues, work something real. Again, the other thing that is a problem is the social economy. Again we talk about illegal immigration, again we talk about gender roles and other things that have nothing to do with the economy and people's obligations.

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 to Europe who want to change this continent valuefully and religiously. For years, this policy has been supported by this House. I wonder how you are not ashamed, colleagues from the European People's Party, from socialists, from democrats, from this whole global left. You support this policy, you defend this policy, and you justify this policy. You exonerated human trafficker NGOs, you exonerated illegal smugglers and their illegal gatherings, you exonerated and explained how you would integrate the unintegrated. This is a serious political failure for which you are responsible and it is a shame to leave the floor now. How does the Commission respond to us at the moment? The same tales empty, more of them, some common such things, but the prom, which will never happen. Colleagues from .... quoted Oriana Fallaci and were absolutely and completely right. Either we wake up or we disappear. There is one treatment for this disease and it is called stopping migration and starting deportation. Stop migration, start deportation.

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 Pacific, in Central Asia, in the Middle East, in Africa or anywhere else. The European Union and the Commission that you represent consume policy, and the result of this consumption is that the big countries, the foreign countries, are pursuing their policy – such as the United States, Israel, Turkey, if you want China, if you want it, and the European Union is only a consumer and pays a bill for all these things. No policy can be pursued without formulating a single foreign policy objective. You can't go into politics when you're just a mirror and just an echo of something that's happening. A little while ago, one of my colleagues said, "Make the European Union great again!". What an unfortunate quote of a really good policy. Notice what our friends are doing. Our friends are giving state aid. Member of the Commission. - Madam President, you have given minutes to the other colleagues on the left. You'll wait a little longer. They give state aid, they have European businesses, we keep quiet. This policy makes us a geopolitical dwarf. The European Commission is a very Mickey Mouse Commission. I'm sorry about that.

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, наследени от Кремъл и от Белград, и влиянието им в този регион, нищо няма да се промени и ще се пишат доклади след доклади, ще се прави мимикрия след мимикрия и ще се правите, че не разбирате за какво става дума. It is about the influence of Belgrade and hence the influence of the Kremlin. You should know that. You're big people. Otherwise, reports can be written, but they do not take into account the specifics of the region. And it is that the Yugoslav heritage, the communist heritage, the Bolshevik heritage, the Kremlin's Russian heritage prevents the people of this region from continuing their deserved and normal pro-European path, which can and should be encouraged. Without the elimination of Belgrade, without the elimination of the Kremlin, this will be very difficult and you know it perfectly well. You just have to dare to write it and say it. As long as you're playing a double game with Belgrade, you're playing with the Kremlin. That's not how it works.

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 he was wiretapped and threatened by an alleged person linked to Bulgarian organised crime. A person who made today's Bulgarian government by organizing the voting machines. Mrs. In't Veld, I see you're having an intimate conversation. Would it be convenient to put your headphones on because I have a question for you? Mrs. In't Veld, nothing will translate you in a moment. What is happening in Ireland right now is the following. There is evidence that a man was wiretapped and the voting machines made this government. The LIBE Committee refuses to hear this person or has not yet invited this person here to the European Parliament. If you also want to hear from you, Commissioner, you are also very vocal on these topics, call Mr Tsanov to the LIBE Committee and listen to him. He says that he has been wiretapped, and he says that he has been threatened, and he says that the machines used to vote in Bulgaria – these are Venezuelan machines, I do not know if you know what this thing is – voting machines from Venezuela. You know who's in power in Venezuela. Only Venezuela and Bulgaria vote in this way. Do you agree that the next European elections will be held in this way? Absolutely secret, absolutely fake. And that's based on eavesdropping and intimidation. Here is a concrete signal – the man stands by his name, his name is Stanislav Tsanov. You can invite him, you can listen to him. Someone might blame Mrs. In't Veld, who stands with her back to me all the time as I speak. I do not know if this is very kind, I do not think it is very kind, but still, as they say, a matter of upbringing. I finish in a second, I'm not finished. That is why this person should be called, listened to, and then you will understand how the governments in Bulgaria are formed. It's very important and interesting.

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues, these things are very nice, which you talk to each other, but you will forgive me, they are a little scratching of languages. I am sorry for the suffering I have caused the translators. Digital visas and wonderful nice things, fairy tales great, and Bulgaria and Romania continue to stay outside the Schengen area after they have fulfilled all the conditions to be there. And most colleagues mention it, but only as a finding and only as a fact. So the Bulgarian and Romanian drivers are still hanging around the borders – and they are paying your salaries, Commissioner, as well as your smart-looking colleagues. And every illegal, who has no right to be in the European Union and should have been extradited, calmly walks in Brussels and waits for the moment when he will catch the machine gun and kill European citizens. How is it that Bulgaria and Romania are standing outside, even though all the conditions are met, and the illegals, with the support of the left, are here in the European Union and do whatever they want. For this to happen, Commissioner, the following must happen: there must be a healthy external border and Bulgaria and Romania must be inside. Otherwise, talking about visas, electronics, text messages, whatever you want – these are good things. Only a little "Tales from the rosehip bush". And real life is here at the moment and in this real life Bulgaria and Romania pay for the economic interests of the Netherlands. And the illegals, as I said, are not extradited, they are sitting in the European Union, waiting for their time to come and do some big trouble.

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. But with regard to the topic of child safety on the Internet, what is lacking in the report is the clear definition, definition and obligation of providers, of all those who deal with the topic, to expose, find and do everything possible not to spread paedophile networks, paedophile comments, people who abuse social networks, to reach children. That's the huge problem. He is being bypassed here for clear reasons and for guilty consciences, but he must be targeted very precisely and when this conversation is taking place, it must be said clearly – the threat on the Internet comes from these circles and from these people. They must be persecuted. Not to deal here with various propaganda, to waste taxpayers' time with fictitious problems, but these are the essential problems that need to be addressed.

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 territory of Moldova and not try to break them up in any way administratively, not try to assimilate them in any way. Here, of course, I am talking first of all about the Bulgarian ethnic community. There are also people who define themselves as Gagauz and other communities, which the authorities in Moldova are currently trying to divide administratively, to export from Taraclia, and also to move to Comrat and other settlements the administrative centers and the administrative burden, which is not European and does not meet the standards of the European Union. The European Union, the European values that we all speak of with respect sometimes, and sometimes not so much, provide for all communities to have reserved rights and legitimate interests. So the authorities in Moldova must observe those of the Bulgarian community.

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 witnessing something like this, ethnic cleansing. The Azeri troops carried out ethnic cleansing in a purely Armenian historical region. And this is known by everyone. But when we warned you about these things, here colleagues were playing big diplomats and playing with buying some gas, oil and so on from the Azeri dictator, who they now found to be a dictator. This is also quite shameful and quite disgraceful, because it was clear from the moment we saw how the Azeri troops were acting against the people of Artsakh, against the Armenians there. For this reason, I voted in favour of this resolution and I believe that everyone should condemn this illegal invasion.

Mr President, the Mobility Package is one of the major failures of the European Commission, Commissioner, and you know it very well. The Mobility Package was a lobbying legislation whose sole purpose and task was to move HGV drivers from Bulgaria, from Romania, from peripheral countries to companies in Central and Western Europe. The topic we are debating today demonstrates, without any doubt, this huge failure. Show me a parking lot in Belgium that has these sanitary conditions, which has security, where there is a place for a person to sleep and where to take a bath. There are no parking lots. There are no such car parks in southern France, there are no such car parks in Germany. Most car parks are a deviation from the road you stop on, and in France it is good not to stop, because the new Europeans who invited them your colleague von der Leyen and the one who (incomprehensible words), get on the move and unload the trucks. This is a huge problem. In fact, it became clear that it was a huge lobbying story that was looking to move labor and bring Eastern companies to work in Western Europe. No, nothing has improved, no conditions have improved, and you know it perfectly well. You have nothing to answer, because it is absolutely visible. Bulgarian and Romanian companies and the rest of the periphery were forced to make European ones, to make Belgian registrations and to build their parking lots. I can show you Maasmechelen, Antwerp. I can show you Bulgarian companies that have made their parking lots, only people pay their taxes in the Kingdom of Belgium, not in Bulgaria. That's the difference. This is a huge problem because money made by our workers goes to the budget of the Kingdom of Belgium and not to our budget. And there they help with health care, social activities, not with us. Our workers are working for Belgium thanks to the Mobility Package, which was a heavy lobbying, and that was its aim. You know these things very well. Not to mention that there is a lot of talk in this room about ecology, about emissions, and you have obliged thousands of trucks to walk empty up and down, empty runs, to burn fuel, this fuel to go into the air and pollute the air, Commissioner. Air pollution is caused by lobbying by the European Commission. And here, very strangely, some colleagues talk about fresh air. What clean air, as with your decision pollutes the air great, heavy, visible. So there are no conditions. That's clear. There would be no one to do it, you would expropriate properties, you would build hotels. What hotels will you build? Do you want to build trucks without drivers and build hotels? It's a confusing story, but it shows one thing: The European Commission, the European Parliament have gone very far from what the European Union should be: a free market, competition, success, income, a good life for all citizens. Very far from that, but you are now acknowledging this in front of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 colleagues, 15 with the President. And when the room was full, we talked about other things. Which is an admission of disgrace. This is a grave disgrace, a grave failure.

First of all, absolutely. Second, you need to respect our law. And our law says that marriage is a union between men and women. That’s it. I respect your law, but you have to respect mine. Don’t you agree? Thank you. I believe this was the proper answer, so you have to respect my opinion.

Mr President, this debate is indeed absolutely surreal. You come up with topics to find reasons to talk to each other and to win some votes of some groups that you think will pay attention to you. A little while ago, my colleague Melchior said that women were the canaries of democracy. No, colleague, women are women, canaries are canaries, and this has nothing to do with it at all, and this is not a biology lesson to discuss such things. The ones who insult women are the ones who let men compete in women's sports. Those who insult women and violate their rights are precisely those who allow men to win beauty contests for women. It's an insult to women. Some of you asked what is the family according to our constitution of Bulgaria? Family is a voluntary marriage and a union between a man and a woman, and it's not your job to change our constitution. With all due respect, in your countries you can have families between 3 parents, 5 parents, 8 parents, 15 – your business. But our family is between a man and a woman. That's what our constitution says. You all respect the rule of law, don't you? Isn't that right, colleague? What are you shaking your head for? You respect the law, don't you? If you respect the law, respect it. (The speaker agreed to answer a Blue Card question)

Mr President, the events in Kosovo very clearly confirm our old concerns to those who understand the subject. Again Serbian provocations, again tensions caused by Serbian politics, by Alexander, dear colleague, by Aleksandar Vucic. Aleksandar Vučić is the Serbian President, he conducts Vladimir Putin’s politics, but he is Aleksandar. So yes, it's a Serbian provocation again. What is already worrying, Commissioner and colleagues, is that once again European politics is beginning to waver and not take a firm and principled position. The old games begin: Can Serbia be useful? Can't we? Serbia is a provocateur. Serbian politics has always been provocative in the Balkans and it continues to be the same as it was against the Croats, as it is in Bosnia and Herzegovina again. It is the same in Kosovo and will not change. This is a model of behavior of Serbian politics, led by their presidents, such as Aleksandar Vucic. And any such play with them will not help anyone. In this case, Kosovo must be supported. Kosovo authorities must be supported and their territorial integrity guaranteed against the latest Serbian provocations, close, of course, to Kremlin policy. But you have to take sides. Do not play, as usual, with good and bad policemen, policemen and the like. You have to take sides.

Madam President, 110 years ago, the great Yavorov wrote about the Armenians: ‘Exiles poor, debris insignificant than ever before a valiant martyr nation, Mother's Children, Slave Worrying and victims of a feat marvelously great..." These verses were dedicated to the genocide of the Armenian people committed by the Young Turks within the Ottoman Empire. One hundred and ten years later, these events are repeated, this time by their first cousins, the Azeris, in front of all of you. And this was known, and this was warned, and it was clear what Aliyev's dictatorial regime would do. But here someone thought that he could play geopolitical games, shop, trade, buy gas, buy oil, bet the lives of the Armenians. Here we heard that it was unfortunate violence against the Armenians, but, alas, they were on the wrong side of history. There can be no wrong side to history when it comes to genocides. There can be no wrong side to history when it comes to ethnic cleansing. Either you're on the right side or you're on the wrong side. This Parliament and this Commission, which is listening to us at the moment and is talking about something of their own, as usual, have chosen to be on the wrong side again and play geopolitical games. They sacrificed the Armenians once again. No negotiations or talks will help. The only thing that can help and erase shame and disgrace, from here they justify that someone did not know, another thought that Aliyev lied to him, a third do not know what you are .... Well, when Aliyev lied to you, this is where you get embarrassed, look into the ground and leave. Just a moment, Madam President. Such things can only be bought with sanctions. Sanctions against Aliyev and sanctions against this shameful dictatorial regime. Otherwise, it's humorous stories that the Armenians would return. Stupid people who don't understand anything.

Dear colleague, you criticize very strongly the media, concentrated ...... (The speaker continues his speech in English) Dear colleague, you’re very vocal against the media concentration in the hands of, let’s say, Mr Orbán’s friends. What about media pages by other figures? For example, a lot of media in Bulgaria are related, connected or owned by circles close to Mr Soros. What is your opinion? Because they are forming public opinion in Sofia. How will you comment this?

Here we are talking about scandals, about corruption. The real scandal is the plans for a just transition that the Bulgarian government has prepared in connection with the destruction of Bulgarian energy. Plans that are in the European Commission and plans that are already here with you. When we talk about corruption, you should know that the plans of this government provide exactly which companies to build photovoltaics and which to build solar parks, they are indicated by their names. It is interesting whether your taxpayers - those who give the money - know that through these plans, well-defined companies registered outside the European Union or offshore will also take your taxpayers' money. Interestingly, is this how corruption fights and is this how you explain to your taxpayers that you are spending their money? Apart from this, the cost of this betrayal is the destruction of all Bulgarian energy, the reduction of production, minimal, the destruction of the energy balance, the destruction of energy security, the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. This is a betrayal on the part of the Bulgarian government, but it is a serious hypocrisy on the part of the European Commission and Parliament. Check this thing out so you don't get embarrassed in front of your taxpayers who will pay for this scam.
