80 years after the end of World War II - freedom, democracy and security as the heritage of Europe (debate)
Madam President, today we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the war that devastated Europe, which showed the cruelest face of the human being and the horrifying horrors of which we are capable, of which man is capable. War doesn't just kill the living, it ends up lasting over future generations. Today huge scars of this war remain here in Europe. From that darkness and the ashes of that war we build the institutions we enjoy today, the Europe of peace and dignity, of democracy and freedoms: the Europe of Reconciliation. It is a Europe that is once again threatened by the totalitarianism and authoritarianism that we suffered then, by authoritarian leaders who from outside threaten European security, by authoritarian leaders who also have pawns here, in the European institutions, and who threaten to liquidate the democracy and freedoms that we enjoy today. They are authoritarians who use the same ideas and instrumentalize isolation, fear and lies to sow hatred in the face of what we claim: Truth, justice and memory. A united Europe is the only answer to barbarism.

The importance of trans-European transport infrastructure in times of stalling economic growth and major threats to Europe’s security (debate)
This brings to an end the speaking sessions scheduled for this debate and we begin with the catch the eye. We have so many requests and it's going to be impossible for me to accept them all. That is why we will take into account who has already spoken in this debate, the proportionality between the groups or the absence of some Members during the majority of the debate.
