European Union Agency for Asylum (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, with the new pact on asylum and immigration, the European Asylum Agency, the repression of the European Union against the persecuted is stepped up, while it is responsible, together with the United States and NATO, for the imperialist wars and, in particular, the twenty-year intervention in Afghanistan. The systematic shrinking of the rights of asylum seekers by the European Union an…

European solutions to the rise of energy prices for businesses and consumers: the role of energy efficiency and renewable energy and the need to tackle energy poverty (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the exponential increases in energy, fuel and consumer goods are not temporary. The costly electricity due to the liberalised energy market by the European Union and governments is becoming unaffordable. It is the result of the green transition strategy with a quadrupling of the energy price due to delignification, expensive natural gas and the promotion of renewable monoculture, …

State of the Union (debate)

Watch

Mr President, in the face of the situation of the unpopular European Union, it is crucial that the situation of the peoples is also heard. It is the people who are facing, defenseless, pandemics, fires and floods. They live on the ramifications of stripped-down public health systems, tragic shortages of permanent staff, means and infrastructure, and pay dearly for what individuals sell them as mer…

Presentation of the Fit for 55 package after the publication of the IPCC report (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the European Union's "Fit for 55" package means a direct burden on the working people, because of the so-called "green business" of the groups, from the green new taxes on carbon emissions in electricity, which end up unchanged in tariffs, to the most expensive imported natural gas and the very expensive and unstable monoculture of renewable energy sources. Under the pretext of clima…

Labour rights in Bangladesh (debate)

Watch

Mr President, who really is talking about labour rights in Bangladesh? The European Union's directive for up to 13 hours of work a day, 78 hours a week? The dismantling of collective agreements and social security? Contractors and bans on strikes and demonstrations? Immigrant workers from Bangladesh have also experienced how pro-working the European Union is. The labour galleon in the country, apa…

The 70th anniversary of the Geneva Convention (debate)

Watch

Madam President, maximum hypocrisy is for the European Union, the governments, the European Parliament to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Geneva Convention, which they are designed to trespass on and bury. Based on the reactionary New Pact on Immigration and Asylum of the European Union, the Greek government makes law the intensification of repression, deportations, the strengthening of the …
