EU Protection of children and young people fleeing the war against Ukraine (B9-0207/2022, B9-0212/2022, B9-0213/2022)

Mr President, Members, we voted with our abstention group on this report for a very simple reason. There is no one who would not support the support of every single person fleeing war. In this case, we have an aggressive, unprovoked war that causes a lot of suffering on the territory of a sovereign state. We are all helping people fleeing Ukraine. We all help, even in a personal and physical capac…

Right to repair (B9-0175/2022)

Mr President, colleagues, the introduction of a right to repair electrical appliances is one of the main legislative initiatives set out in the European Commission's plan for this year. Its purpose is to extend the life of appliances and provide a longer guarantee to protect consumer rights by facilitating longer use of the appliances in question by the people who have to use them. This is a great…

The Schengen evaluation mechanism (A9-0054/2022 - Sara Skyttedal)

Mr President, Members, we voted against this report for a very simple reason. The subject of Schengen is the complete, absolute proof of the hypocrisy, hypocrisy and double standard of the European Commission. For years, the European Parliament, the European Union and the European Commission have known perfectly well that Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia have fulfilled all the criteria for membership…

Mental Health (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues, this issue and this debate comes well in time after years of panic and hysteria in the media. After years in which citizens of the Member States of the European Union have been placed in a situation of anxiety and tension, it is clear that this will have an impact on their mental and mental health. Therefore, honourable Members, and above all to you, Commiss…

The situation of marginalised Roma communities in the EU (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues, registration is a two-way process in a society. There must be a demand and desire from every part of society to fit into it. Why isn't this happening in the communities we're talking about? There are at least two reasons for this. The first reason is the reluctance of a number of political forces, including in this Parliament, to lose their electorate in the…

Ongoing hearings under Article 7(1) TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, there is nothing more absurd, more Kafkaish and more grotesque than asking this question at a time when hundreds are flocking to both Poland and Hungary, tens of thousands of refugees, and these two countries are doing everything they can and providing first aid. Poland was the first country to provide military assistance, while here we were still wondering what to d…

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 24-25 March 2022: including the latest developments of the war against Ukraine and the EU sanctions against Russia and their implementation (debate)

Dear colleague Delly, do I understand correctly that you support that there should be no sanctions against an aggressor who commits war crimes? Do I understand correctly that your recipe for saving Ukrainian children is not to give them a weapon with which to defend themselves? Do I understand correctly that you justify a war crime with other wars that have happened long ago? If that's the case, i…

Need for an urgent EU action plan to ensure food security inside and outside the EU in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (RC-B9-0160/2022, B9-0160/2022, B9-0162/2022, B9-0163/2022, B9-0164/2022, B9-0165/2022, B9-0166/2022, B9-0167/2022)

Mr President, I voted in favour of this report. Strongly, the European Parliament and the European Union must pay attention to the recovery of food production and food chains in the European Union.

Let me remind you that the territory of Moldova is occupied by Russian troops, the so-called ‘fake Republic of Transnistria’, which also poses a certain threat to the country of Moldova itself and…

So this report is necessary. The European Parliament and the European Commission are indebted to these people. Much…
