Escalations in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean following persistent Turkish provocations (debate)

Watch

Mr President, two NATO states are claiming to become an energy military hub in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Balkans. In this territory, the antagonism of the bourgeois classes is intensified and the aggression of the Turkish state is escalating. The NATO framework does not recognize borders between allies and the European Union, as a strategic partner of the Turkish state, do…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 15-16 October 2026 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the European Union is promoting at all levels the escalation on both fronts of the imperialist war, Ukraine and the Middle East. The escalation, the military involvement against capitalist Russia, the backs to the conquering state of Israel are not an exogenous factor, but a source of great dangers and energy poverty for the people. Hundreds of billions are concentrated in the war in…

Acceleration of permit-granting for defence readiness projects (Omnibus V) (A10-0271/2025 - Lucia Yar, Henrik Dahl)

Watch

Madam President, the speech by the President of the Commission acknowledges the objective of a ferocious war industry that also goes through the encouraged simplification package, which is provocatively part of the defence sector. This provides immunity to groups with a priori licensing, fast track procedures and freedom to move arms and ammunition from one end to the other across the European Uni…

Escalation in the Middle East (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Middle East, Ukraine: The escalating fronts of imperialist war tend to unite, creating a new explosive situation. Your pretexts are falling apart. Wars are fought to control critical roads, territories and markets, against the backdrop of the US-China conflict over the primacy of the capitalist system. They refute the clever and short-lived wars of invincible armies. The United State…

Devastating heatwaves, wildfires and droughts in Europe: lessons from summer 2026 (debate)

Madam President, your exploitative system, your state hostile to the people, at the time of the take-off of artificial intelligence and scientific discoveries, leaves the people exposed to dying en masse from cold in winter and heat in summer, drowning in winter and burning in summer, with even firefighters dead. The complicit European Union and governments supposedly take lessons from the major s…

The impact of the 1974 Turkish invasion on Cypriot women and girls, and the crimes committed by Turkish forces and consequences on gender equality (B10-0333/2026)

Watch

Madam President, we condemn the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus, the heinous crimes committed by the Turkish army against Cypriots, women and girls, the violent displacement, sexual abuse, rape, separation of families, trauma, stigmatisation and their incalculable long-term heavy consequences, devoid of even the slightest support. In addition to the self-evident compensation that the Tur…

Madam President, thousands have died in the heatwave in Europe.

Common system for the return of third-country nationals staying illegally in the Union (Return Regulation) (A10-0048/2026 - Malik Azmani)

Madam President, the Social Democrats and the other bourgeois parties, young and restored saviours, have sown illusions about the – now activated – migration and asylum pact, as they do about the non-existent rule of law of the European Union. The regulations of the Pact, which are also pillars of the new reactionary law in Greece of New Democracy, promote repression for new crimes, such as this –…

She is complicit in 2,000 murdered, 7,000 wounded and 1,000,000 displaced.
