European Central Bank – annual report 2023 (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Lagarde, thank you for being here so you will have the opportunity to explain why mortgages have tripled from EUR 300 to EUR 900 and from EUR 400 to EUR 1 200. Can you explain who is getting rich? We are sure that the citizens are the ones who are strangled. President Lagarde, don't tell us the story, the ball of inflation. This inflation is not caused by dem…

Conclusions of the European Council meetings, in particular the special European Council meeting of 1 February 2024 (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Five days ago, outside the European buildings, where you had set up the best European reception for our farmers – I would like to recall the barbed wire and the barriers, and the mind goes obviously to when the illegal immigrants arrive instead, to how we welcome them – I, who was with pleasure among them, among the protesters, among the farmers…

Water scarcity and structural investments in access to water in the EU (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, European follies. This Europe deals more with insects than with the water emergency, more with parent one and parent two than with families, more with the Roma who steal than with real workers, more with illegal immigrants than with citizens, more with Islamic extremism than with the defence of Christian symbols. Unfortunately, this Europe reaps what it sows and…

Framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, ensuring the safe and sustainable supply of raw materials: We should ask the children of the Congo who work in the hellish mines of the Congo to extract raw materials used so much for the beloved European electric batteries. UNICEF's raw data is shocking, I would say criminal: 60,000 miners exploited children 12-13 hours a day without safety, at two dollars a da…

State of the SME Union (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this Europe is undermining our certainties, more than a friend seems to be an enemy. Systematic attacks on our certainties; immigration without controls or defense of Roma who undermine our security in homes and on metros; attacks on our products and sectors: wine, agriculture, fishing, cars. Now the attack, with an unjustified policy of raising interest rates, …

Ensuring food security and the long-term resilience of EU agriculture (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, even on the subject of food safety, it is only a few hours after the death of our former colleague, President Silvio Berlusconi, that it should be remembered that it was President Berlusconi himself who obtained the European Food Safety Agency in 2005. The European Food Safety Agency landed in Italy and not in Finland thanks to the commitment and capacity of Sil…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we welcome any debate, any subscription, in order to keep the attention high and to raise the attention to protect women from the drama of physical, sexual, economic and psychological violence. It is clear, however, that we need to be quick, twelve years have passed since the signing of the Istanbul Convention. You need to be credible and you need to be respe…

A truly interconnected Energy Single Market to keep bills down and companies competitive (topical debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the title of the agenda is 'A truly interconnected single energy market to contain the cost of energy bills', whoever reads this title reads a headline, almost like an Oscar winner. But in the Oscar-winning title there are the reality and the concrete facts that unfortunately the European institution lacks, a European institution that does not m…

Radio Equipment Directive: common charger for electronic devices (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the standardisation of battery chargers. We welcome the simplification and uniformity of the lives of our citizens. However, one fact remains: Thirteen years is unacceptable for the simple connector. We have to deal with the plug, but we have to deal above all with the emergency that our country, that our Europe has, that is the dear bills. This is…

Recent heat wave and drought in the EU (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, I think we have a duty, that of not conducting a water emergency in an hour of chatter, in an hour around me it would be called 'bla bla bla'. We need concrete actions, the European institution has a duty to give concrete answers, unless we really want to replace our agriculture, our food with the Euro follies of making us eat cockroaches, bedbugs, grasshoppers or even …

Facilitating export of Ukrainian agricultural products: key for Ukrainian economy and global food security (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I think it is not acceptable for the European institutions that when there is a problem it is always someone else's fault. The blockade of Ukrainian food exports obviously creates effects, but also faults. We cannot fail to start from the fact that Europe has been managing European agricultural policies for seventy years, perhaps with too many idealisms and t…

The situation of marginalised Roma communities in the EU (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the citizens outside Europe who are listening to us, who are watching us, are asking us: Why is Europe so stupid? Why is Europe wasting time? But, above all, why does Europe throw away money, so much, so much money spent on so many initiatives that have brought zero results? Lots of money spent and zero results. Why? Because the Roma have had years to decide to …

Protecting workers from asbestos (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it has been more than thirty years since the danger of asbestos fibre, the 'killer fibre', was discovered, and I think it is unacceptable in a modern Europe, in a modern country, to see tens and tens of thousands of deaths, precisely, from asbestos or citizens suffering from asbestos. Also because we know very well to be an atrocious disease and an…

Implementation of EU requirements for exchange of tax information (debate)

Madam President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, as a matter of fact, we are witnessing an injustice on the subject of European taxes. There are two types of taxes: the taxes that citizens have to pay – and those they have to pay – and the taxes that they should pay, or rather that the big giants of the web do not pay. Today, if we think that in 2018 the revenues of the giants of the web were…
