Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Madam President, we are debating how to combat poverty from the institutions that most hinder the generation of wealth. In the mindset of the Union, businesses are not created, they are regulated; Wealth is not generated, it is redistributed. Do we want to address the problem of access to housing? Urge states to liberalize land, stop controlling rents and confront landlords with tenants. Look, in …

Rail transport safety in the EU – lessons learnt from the Adamuz accident and three years after the Tempi tragedy (debate)

Madam President, the Commission representative knows that this is not just another accident, this is a case of negligence. Forty-six dead and two hundred wounded in Adamuz add to a long list of victims of the irresponsibility of the government of Pedro Sánchez. Spain was the country most affected by COVID-19. In Spain, the lack of infrastructure caused the catastrophe of Valencia in the …

International Day of Education, fighting inequalities in access to education (debate)

Madam President, you are out of the question. Our concept of civilization demands equal access to compulsory public education.

He will be vulnerable to opinions stronger than those he is able to defend and will end up thinking as h…

Outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference - Belém (COP30) (debate)

Mr President, no one here denies climate change; climate emergency is denied. Climate catastrophism is a scam. Yours is not science, it's superstition. It's Greta Thunberg sentimental propaganda. Consensus is contrary to science. Theirs is an ideology, a political strategy. Even Bill Gates, one of the great funders of this substitution religion, has gotten out of the car.

Institutional consequences of the EU enlargement negotiations (debate)

Mr President, we are not so much concerned about enlargement as about the gradual erasure of sovereignty with which they want to carry it out. First they tell us they want more Europe. Then we found that means less sovereignty, less voice and less freedom for nations. They call it efficiency, but it's actually fear. You are afraid of governments that do not accept your agenda, afraid of patriotic …

EU strategy with regard to Iran’s nuclear threat and the implementation of EU sanctions resulting from the snapback mechanism (debate)

Madam President, the Islamist theocratic regime in Iran is the main destabilising agent in the Middle East and the biggest promoter of international terrorism. A hitman of his attacked the life of Don Alejo Vidal-Quadras, who was president of this House for many years; He's alive by miracle. The aggressive foreign policy of the ayatollahs has been attacking peace and security for years through sub…

Devastating wildfires in Southern Europe: the need to strengthen EU aid to restore the massive loss of forests and enhancing EU preparedness (debate)

Mr President, I believe that at least three factors are mixed in this matter. On the one hand, there is the negligence of those who, from their political management positions, should have done more than they have done. In that sense, my political background has presented the appropriate criminal legal actions for the responsibilities that could arise. On the other hand, we have a rather inexplicab…

Lessons from Budapest Pride: the urgent need for an EU wide anti-discrimination law and defending fundamental rights against right-wing attacks (topical debate)

Madam President, I see this as a perfect occasion for some of you to feel like heroes: armchair heroes, tin soldiers heroes. Because everything they are accusing – in this case Hungary – is radically false. Where is the discrimination of people on the basis of their sexual orientation? Here there is a decision by a sovereign state on certain issues of public order when organizing demonstrations; l…

Resilience and the need to improve the interconnection of energy grid infrastructure in the EU: the first lessons from the blackout in the Iberian Peninsula (debate)

Madam President, we have already warned of the risks of shutting down nuclear plants, of basing our energy system on renewables, of becoming dependent on the outside. In the end, the facts, sadly, have proved us right, and the power grid has collapsed, causing an unprecedented blackout of fatal consequences - ten dead, so far - and embarrassing. This has happened only days after the head of Red El…
