What Valérie spoke about.

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, empty shelves in supermarkets, a shortage of drivers, crippling administrative paperwork, basic necessities whose prices are soaring... While the consequences of Brexit are hitting the British hard, Boris Johnson voted last week a massive tax hike to refinance the British health system, the famous NHS. The same NHS that brexiters promised to refinance five years ago. Thanks to what? With the end of their contribution to the European budget. Today, the British people are paying for the madness and lies of Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and other Eurosceptics. They promised them mountains and wonders. They promised them that through Brexit, the NHS would be bailed out. But what a failure! Instead, 12 billion taxes will be needed to keep it afloat. But let us also look at home, because the blindness of Eurosceptics does not only have consequences for the British. At home, too, we suffer from this disastrous choice. So, at a time when Boris Johnson is missing subscribers for all his fellow citizens, we must be at the rendezvous of Europeans. This Brexit fund will aim to help the most affected: to those for whom trade with the UK is so essential, to our fishermen on the front line in the face of Brexit, to our SMEs who are abandoning the UK market. I am pleased that we have reached an agreement on this 5 billion aid. They demonstrate our solidarity with the most affected regions and sectors, without unfairly setting aside any state. I would like to thank my fellow Members, and in particular the rapporteur, Pascal Arimont, for this important joint work. Ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, Brexit is a failure in the United Kingdom, where lies have broken out in the eyes of all, just as here on the continent. So, unlike Eurosceptics, we, however, respond present.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Viktor Orbán tells us that his law is not homophobic. Who are we laughing at here? Who are we kidding? Of course this law is homophobic. Of course it will discriminate against LGBTI people. No one is fooled. Nobody. Your retrograde ultra-conservatism - you here, yours, to the right of this Chamber - undermines the rights of Europeans who demand nothing but to love and live freely. But that is not all. Not content with shattering hopes, you maintain fraud and corruption in Hungary. It is therefore imperative, Commissioner, that the Commission does not approve the Hungarian recovery plan as it stands. Orbán and his cronies cannot get rich at the expense of the European taxpayer. So, Minister, do you really want to put the rule of law at the heart of your Slovenian Presidency? Well, go ahead, uphold the rule of law in Hungary and Poland, uphold the rule of law and beware of joining these governments in their illiberal project.
