Speeches

Thank you very much, rapporteur. The Vice-President of the European Investment Bank has not yet arrived. Therefore, I will give the floor to Ms Albuquerque on behalf of the Commission.

The next item is the debate on the report by Francisco Assis, on behalf of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, on the financial activities of the European Investment Bank – annual report 2024 (2024/2053(INI)) (A10-0112/2025).

Mr President, Madam High Representative, first of all, as my colleagues have done here today, I express our strongest condemnation of the assassination attempt on Miguel Uribe Turbay and our utmost solidarity, not only with him at this critical time, but also with his family, with the country and with the authorities of the country. Political violence destroys everything: democracy, institutions, coexistence, coexistence. And in Colombia this assassination attempt is different from other places we have just seen - for example, in the United States, which has been mentioned before - because it reopens wounds and scars in a country that, for decades, has lived through political violence. That is why the moment is so important and so serious. It is a time to help the government, at a serious time for the country. It is not a time to instrumentalize an assassination attempt to hit the government, but to help the government because it needs help. It is a time of broad consensus, of de-escalation and polarization. It is the moment of civil society, dialogue and pluralism. And, above all, it is also the moment of institutionality, respect for the rule of law and the electoral path and the election observation mission that the European Union can safely deploy that helps along this path.

The next item on the agenda is the debate on the Council and Commission statements on Russian energy phase‑out, Nord Stream and the EU's energy sovereignty. (2025/2717(RSP)).
