Achieving digital sovereignty and resilience for Europe, in light of recent developments affecting access to advanced AI technologies (debate)

Watch

I am pretty surprised about your ignorance. Look at the prices of energy. Look at how the French Government has to subsidise energy. Nuclear energy is not an option. Who is going to pay for that? You know, in the US where they have atomic energy, they use gas and oil for AI with really serious, devastating consequences for the climate. Is this the world you want our kids to live in? You know that …

Achieving digital sovereignty and resilience for Europe, in light of recent developments affecting access to advanced AI technologies (debate)

Watch

Thank you for that question. I mean, have you ever looked at the cost of nuclear energy? It is the most expensive form of energy. Do you want our citizens to subsidise that energy in order to have American AI? So Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and a lot of other US companies can make money? This is what is happening in the US. In the US, it is the citizens who are paying higher electricity bills. This…

Opportunities and challenges presented by a comprehensive artificial intelligence strategy for EU trade (debate)

Watch

Mr President, 71 % of Americans feel that the pace of AI development is moving too fast. Two thirds of Americans want the government to regulate the dangers of AI. Seven in ten Americans oppose constructing data centres. Maybe this is why the AI companies and the current US administration are so keen on imposing their AI and their lack of safety on Europe, because in the US the people have turned …

EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Who did Anthropic actually inform about the potential dangers of myth? The U.S. government, over 50 U.S. companies, and on April 7th, finally the world with a public announcement. But the potential threat of myth affects not only American businesses and citizens, but also us in Europe. But the European Union? Misrepresentation! It still has no access to the model to see how danger…

Tackling AI deepfakes and sexual exploitation on social media by making full use of the EU’s digital rules (debate)

Watch

Madam President, 'put her on her back, spread her legs, put semen on her stomach' – these words are not fit to be pronounced in this Chamber, but these words are ruining the lives of women and children because Elon Musk built a tool that encourages men to do this on X. Where is the investigation to condemn this abominable and illegal behaviour? Yesterday, the German press reported that the cabinet…

European Democracy Shield – very large online platform algorithms, foreign interference and the spread of disinformation (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues, the distraction of the European Union has been Putin's goal for years. And now, with the National Security Strategy, Trump has joined the club, and their goals are clear: a weak and divided European continent, a polarised society and far right parties in power. I am looking at every group in this House except the far right corner, where Putin's friends sit. …

Communication on the Democracy Shield (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen. Democracy is being mercilessly attacked. There have always been enemies of democracy. Today, however, they have an instrument that gives them an advantage over democrats – digital platforms that reward disinformation, lies and hatred with attention, reach and a lot of money through advertising revenue. On the other hand, Europe already has a powerf…

Promoting EU digital rules: protecting European sovereignty (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen. President Trump has TikTok bought in the US from his allies – someone may remember Orbán – and has already announced that he would like to turn it into a MAGA propaganda machine. And the European Commission cannot yet answer the question of whether we in Europe will continue to keep the Chinese TikTok or get the American campaign propaganda. Does i…

Need for a strong European Democracy Shield to enhance democracy, protect the EU from foreign interference and hybrid threats, and protect electoral processes in the EU (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, The attack on European democracy is in full swing, and that is why the European Shield must be large-scale. The European Commission must not be intimidated by President Trump and tech companies spreading conspiracy fantasies of lack of freedom in Europe, while Trump silences universities, media and law firms in the US and declares war on a city …

The fine against TikTok and the need to strengthen the protection of citizens’ rights on social media platforms (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen. TikTok sends highly sensitive data of its users, often children and adolescents, to China and thus violates European laws. There is finally a penalty for that. It's time. I hope more will come soon. In concrete terms, however, this also means: An authoritarian regime can spy on and purposefully manipulate Europe using the most sensitive data pro…

A revamped long-term budget for the Union in a changing world (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen. In the 1970s, the employment rate of women rose particularly sharply in a suburb of Montreal. A subway line was built there, which allowed women to take on jobs in the city centre. Such transport projects, including large ones, can have different effects on women and men. We need to be able to see and understand these impacts in order to make effec…

Situation of European academics and researchers in the US and the impact on academic freedom (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, colleagues, the English newspaper The Guardian put it in a nutshell: when the physicists need burner phones, that's when you know that America has changed. And they do need burner phones; a French scientist was recently prevented from entering the United States because US Border Patrol agents read his phone and found a personal opinion about Trump's science politics.…

US AI chip export restrictions: a challenge to European AI development and economic resilience (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Madam Executive Vice-President! The United States arbitrarily divides Europe into two categories: Countries that are allowed to introduce unlimited semiconductors for artificial intelligence and those that are not. What this incident shows is only one thing: Europe must stand together, must not be divided and must become more independent together. Europe now has the opportunity to…

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

Watch

In Romania there was a problem that year with the elections that the Romanian secret service highlighted, and that was that TikTok had labelled all competitors for the election as political content, and therefore was suppressing that content, keeping people from seeing that content in great numbers. While there was one candidate, the far-right content that TikTok had decided not to label as politi…

Madam President, Executive Vice‑President Virkkunen, colleagues, the tech oligarchs are assaulting our democracy. Elon Musk is interfering with elections in the US and in Europe, enhancing the visibility of his own account and of far‑right accounts, flooding everybody's timelines with the content of his choice. And that's a choice of a guy who, yesterday at the inauguration, chose to make a Nazi s…

Situation of female politicians in EU candidate and neighbouring countries facing harassment and cyber violence (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, colleagues, around the world, women leaders face horrific levels of gender disinformation and online abuse, with dramatic consequences on their freedom of expression and on democracy, on the quality of democracy as a whole. Moldova is a case in point. President Maia Sandu was depicted as a foreigner, as a foreign agent, as too weak to lead the country, as a pro-Western …

Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, Vice-President, ladies and gentlemen! Democracy is in danger. If algorithms spread disinformation six, ten or even a hundred times faster than facts, if every lie is rewarded with attention, but the facts completely disappear in the jungle of these lies, then our citizens no longer have a chance of good politics, because they need facts, they need truth. And through …

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (debate)

Watch

Mr President! 360 women were killed in Germany in 2023, 360 in a year with 365 days. And each of them is one too many. At the same time, hate crime against women has increased by 56%. Women are increasingly being abused, slandered and threatened. The perpetrators are men. It is also correct: Not all men are perpetrators. But where are these men when it comes to increasing the funds for women's she…

Abuse of new technologies to manipulate and radicalise young people through hate speech and antidemocratic discourse (debate)

Watch

You might have noticed from my speech, I am German and I know that the biggest source of antisemitism has not come from Palestine, but from Europe. I have studied my history. As far as current antisemitism is concerned, I don't care what the source is. I don't care if it's far right, you know, or whether it is Muslim. It's not important. The important thing is that we combat it and that we protect…

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen! Nazi propaganda, extreme right-wing incitement, hatred of women or extremist Salafism: You can find it all on TikTok. But what young person is actively looking for such content? Almost no one. TikTok makes sure they see them anyway, because the platform flushes borderline videos into the timeline. And anyone who, out of curiosity or even horror,…

Foreign interference and hybrid attacks: the need to strengthen EU resilience and internal security (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen! Does Moldovan President Maia Sandu wear a headscarf? No, of course not. But in Russian disinformation campaigns on the Internet, it is constantly portrayed in this way, and that is one of the reasons why last week the referendum in favour of the EU was won so narrowly. 'Cause Deepfakes Conspiracy ideologies reach the people of Moldova much more tha…
