Speeches

Madam President, In Germany, a ban on the AfD is being considered. In Romania, democracy has just been buried. In Poland, Mr. Tusk hunts oppositionists. In France, a political death sentence is imposed on Marine Le Pen. But you're not interested in all this. You're bothered by Hungary again. Why? Because Viktor Orbán wants to protect children from the woke virus and therefore prohibits Pride parades. That's right! This is Hungary's right. Because what some organize on the Pride there may still belong in the bedroom, but certainly not on the street. If under the guise of sexual freedom is publicly copulated in front of young children, then this is child sexual abuse. That's what's happening there. That kind of thing is forbidden. Parents who don't do anything about it are bad parents. Good parents protect their children from this woken madness. Instead of attacking Viktor Orbán, you should follow his example. Yes to the protection of our children and no to the sexualization of all areas of life. Your children will thank you.

Madam President, 400 million Christians are persecuted worldwide. Christians are the most persecuted religious community in the world. Hardly anyone knows that. Christians are often second-class victims. This is no different in Congo. Only in February more than 70 Christians were beheaded there. Their bodies were found in a Protestant church, and this is unfortunately not an isolated case. Christians in Congo are murdered, expelled, or fleeing violence. The perpetrators are known: The Islamic State and its offshoots in Central Africa, but also the M23 militia, which loots raw materials together with Rwanda in eastern Congo. How is it possible that Rwanda has become the largest coltan exporter in the world, even though it has hardly any coltan deposits? The answer can be found in eastern Congo. The EU can do three useful things: First, push for Rwandan troops to finally leave eastern Congo. Second, clear edge against Islamist Christian murderers. Third, help our persecuted Christian brothers in the faith rebuild their communities. The Hungarian Government’s Hungary Helps programme could serve as an example.

Mr President! The Armenians are a proud people who can only feel sorry for you: Poorly governed by Nikol Pashinyan, attacked by Azerbaijan and abandoned by the EU, but also by Russia. In recent years, Baku has created facts: Attack on Nagorno-Karabakh, dissolution of the Republic of Arzakh, hundreds of dead, over 100,000 Armenians fleeing, many prisoners, many hostages – to this day. In addition, there is the systematic destruction of the cultural heritage of the world's first Christian state. Why do you hear so little about it? Perhaps because European politicians play a shameful role in all of this. Politicians of the CDU were charged. The allegation: Bribery by the Azerbaijani government, 4 million euros bribe, so that German Christian Democrats look away when Armenian Christians are expelled. This is what caviar diplomacy is called – a shame! Europe-wide, more than 30 million euros should have flowed. This must be the value-driven foreign policy that is constantly being talked about here. Stability in the South Caucasus is also in our interest. Diplomacy, peace talks and respectful treatment of the Armenian hostages, the Armenian people and their Christian heritage are the prerequisites for this.

Mr President! I am a Christian believer. And as a Christian believer, I reject any form of blasphemy. It doesn't matter who it's targeting, whether it's Christians or Muslims. Blasphemy is wrong. Blasphemy is disrespectful. At the same time, freedom of expression requires that blasphemy, or what one considers blasphemy, is not punishable by death. This is exactly what is happening in Nigeria. Yahaya Sharif-Aminu was sentenced to death by a Sharia court. His offense: He is said to have written lyrics directed against the Prophet Muhammad. In some parts of Nigeria, Sharia law supersedes national legislation. The Islamist terrorists of Boko Haram are doing their mischief. This threatens the stability of the country. This also exacerbates internal conflicts. And this leads to mass migration, which we too are suffering from. The death sentence is unacceptable. But is it really consistent to stand up for Yahaya's freedom while being with us because of people? hate speech Arrested? Laws on hate speech are nothing more than a secular equivalent of blasphemy laws. We should really be credible.

Mr President! Socialism always fails. It destroys private property, tradition, family, religion and culture. Various thinkers such as Igor Schafarevich and Friedrich August von Hayek have already worked out this decades ago. The story proved them right: The black books of socialism now fill entire libraries. And it is terrifying how many Members in this House still haven't understood this. This is no different in Nicaragua: An autocratic socialist system – misery, loss of freedom, dictatorial tyranny, persecution of Christians. This is the way to bondage, and we firmly reject it! At the same time, the question arises as to whether our approach to Nicaragua is the right one. Deletion of development aid? Yes, because it flows into corrupt channels. Sanctions against representatives? Yes, because they also enrich themselves in a way that is against the people. But we should reject sanctions against the people, because such interventionism leads to nothing. This only increases chaos, poverty and migration. It's a vicious cycle. This has now reached the point where Nicaragua is using its own population as a weapon of migration against the US. 80% of illegal border crossings are literally accounted for by criminal gangs of smugglers. They now earn up to $12 billion a year. And now remittances make up about a third of Nicaragua's gross domestic product. Such an economic system, which relies on human smuggling in order to survive, is doomed. In Nicaragua, therefore, a socialism from within and a partly misguided interventionism from without meet. The worst of both worlds. That can't go well! Everyone – and most of all Nicaraguans – suffers from this.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, The EU has transferred billions in development aid to the Congo for decades. This money was used, among other things, to improve the judicial system there – this improvement has clearly not been achieved. 37 people were sentenced to death by a military court for an attempted coup. Among those convicted is Jean-Jacques Wondo, a Belgian citizen who previously taught at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels. Evidence against him? Misrepresentation. A photo with the mastermind of the coup attempt serves as the strongest proof of Wondo's guilt. Another piece of evidence is allegations made by a receptionist who disappeared for months before testifying against Wondo under torture. I am basically not an interventionist, I respect other countries and other customs. But what is happening in the Congo requires a reaction on our part, especially since it is also about a citizen of an EU member state. It can't be: We are paying billions of dollars to a foreign judicial system whose military court sentences our citizens to death. This form of development aid has clearly failed.

Madam President, thank you very much. Prime Minister Tusk, I think you understand German better, so I will give you this pleasure. Mr Tusk, politicians like you are the greatest threat to European nations. When you were in the opposition, you attacked the sovereignty of your own country with the help of the EU. Now that you are ruling again, you are destroying the rule of law in Poland. Oppositionists are being chased, politically inconvenient court rulings are being confiscated. Your media coup was illegal, and now you threaten with even more censorship on the Internet. It's more and more reminiscent of a regime. What you committed in one year of breaches against the rule of law, the PiS did not dare to do in eight years. The EU lets you go through all this, after all, you have always been Brussels' best servant. And now you threaten to expand your work of destruction across Europe – mass migration, censorship, geopolitical escalation, wokeness, green deal. You're a pioneer of all this, even if you don't want to know anything about it today. You are a Polish Angela Merkel. You are a Polish Ursula von der Leyen. And the worst part is: You're also proud of it. This is bad for your country Poland, and this is bad for our continent Europe.

Mr President! The EU constantly complains of foreign interference, and has been interfering in Georgian affairs for months. It threatens to impose sanctions on Georgia. It supports a coup d'état in Tbilisi reminiscent of the bloody Euromaidan in Ukraine – incited protesters, foreign-funded NGOs, mass protests on the streets. We know the result – it is not a good one. The EU does this because it cannot lose. In Georgia, political forces have prevailed that do not share the Brussels agenda. Georgians want traditional Christian values instead of wokeness, sovereignty instead of Western ties, peace instead of war. And they do not want any foreign interference - neither from Moscow, nor from Brussels, nor from Washington - comprehensible. A Michael Roth of the SPD has lost nothing on the streets of Tbilisi as a whip. We should therefore respect the will of Georgians, including in our own interests. No arrogant teachings, no escalating interventions, but good diplomatic relations with Tbilisi. Georgia must not become a second Ukraine.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Volhynian massacre is one of the greatest crimes in human history. It is an act of Ukrainian aggression against the Polish people. More than 100,000 Poles were murdered. The families of the victims after more than 80 years have the right to dignified bury their ancestors. This is a prerequisite for good relations between Poland and Ukraine. Unfortunately, Ukraine did not cooperate for many years when it came to exhumation of Polish victims. Maybe it's to hide the scale of the brutality of the Banderites' crimes. But such a falsification of history is unacceptable. We've been talking about a breakthrough in exhumation for a few weeks. Apparently, Ukraine agreed to it. Only then will I believe it when the exhumations really take place. And if they take place, they should take place on the following principles: exhumations must take place unconditionally and without any demands from the Ukrainian side. And exhumations should be carried out by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance, because this is the only guarantee against falsifying history. And Ukraine should allow the construction of worthy burial sites...

Mr President! Lose elections, then annul elections, then censor social media, and then shut down an opposition television station. Whoever does this does not save democracy. Whoever does such a thing abolishes democracy. This is what is happening in Romania. The biggest electoral scandal in the history of the EU, backed by Brussels, concealed by the media – simply shameful. This election fraud is justified with foreign interference on TikTok. Proof of this? Failure to report. Just vague claims. The Romanians are a proud people, the Romanians are a clever people, but they are just being declared infantile idiots without a free will to vote, to whom TikTok sucks the right to vote. We must not accept this coup d'état, because it is here that a precedent is to be set. Any election with an undesirable result could be cancelled in the future. Today it is the Romanians who are deprived of their voice, tomorrow we could be. The struggle of Romanians for democracy in their country is therefore also the struggle for democracy throughout Europe. We stand by their side, and we stand by their true president, Călin Georgescu.

Mr President! The Assad era is over. A reason for joy? This will only become clear – doubts are warranted. The new strong man in Damascus is Muhammad al-Dschaulani, an Islamist terrorist and hopeful of progressive globalists at the same time. This shows the moral bankruptcy of Western elites. You cheer for the new ruler, to whom you have previously offered 10 million US dollars bounty. What awaits us in Syria? At best, a strictly religious, Sunni, but stable regime. In the worst case, a second Libya with an endless civil war – I fear the latter. A nightmare, especially for our fellow Christians in the Levant. What does this mean for us? More mass migration. The old game: Europe has nothing to report, Europe is geopolitically impotent, but Europe is allowed to absorb the consequences of foreign conflicts – this is a disaster. Therefore: Whoever fled to us because of Assad – deport. Your homeland needs you to rebuild. Anyone who wants to come to us from Syria – reject. Our boat is full, we can't do it! Otherwise, we will soon have a Syrian civil war – just in the middle of Europe.

Madam President, Political show trials, voter insults, an assassination attempt – Trump's opponents wanted to take him out, imprison him, chill him. But instead of being in jail or in the grave, he now sits in the White House again. What a comeback! Trump's victory is particularly embarrassing for the arrogant left-liberal establishment. They laughed at Trump. Trump laughed at her. The one who laughs last is the one who laughs best. The first signs of Trump's victory are positive. Peace is finally in sight in Ukraine. The Arab world is showing a willingness to talk. Trump's vice president J.D. Vance doesn't want the U.S. to teach and bully other countries. And Trump's friend Elon Musk relies on freedom of speech instead of woke censorship. Only: Now Trump has to deliver, otherwise his victory is worth nothing in the end. And with all the euphoria: We shouldn't rely on him because Trump is the president of the United States. He represents American interests, not ours. Our interests are sovereignty, strategic autonomy, good relations with East and West. This requires a complete exchange of political personnel. Because what we have is disastrous. We need our own Trump. An Orbán alone is not enough.

Mr President, thank you very much. It annoys me that Polish abortion law is referred to as the hell of women. It annoys me because the issue of unborn children is completely overlooked. They are condemned to death. And that's why this abortion fanaticism disgusts me so much. Restrictive abortion laws do not discriminate against women, abortion is not a human right, and the UN and the European Union have no right to interfere in Polish abortion law, because Poland is a sovereign state. Let's not forget: Poland is a Catholic country and I hope that Poland will remain Catholic. It is shameful that the Polish left and Polish liberals are using the European Union to attack their own homeland. If you really want to experience the hell of women, I invite you to Germany. While in Poland 19% of women were victims of physical or sexual violence, in Germany this percentage is 35%, which is almost twice as much. It is not in Warsaw that women are raped collectively by migrants. It is not in Krakow that women's shelters burst at the seams. It is not in Wrocław that women are afraid to take to the streets at night, but in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Frankfurt. This is where we have the hell of women – in Germany, not in Poland.

Madam President, Child marriages with nine-year-old girls, female genital mutilation, legal marital rape – in Iraq, customs are brutalised. Of course, this has a lot to do with the cultural practice there, but also with Western intervention policy. Sometimes Saddam Hussein was the good villain, sometimes the bad one. In the 1980s, Iraq was supported in the war against Iran, and in the 1990s, sanctions were imposed on Iraq. The consequences were catastrophic: This sanctioning policy cost more than one million lives, 500,000 of them children. Professor Michael Lüders speaks of a crime of Western politics. When the US invasion of Iraq was justified with a lie, the country plunged even deeper into chaos. This was followed by civil war, a brutalization of morality, persecution of Christians. The number of Christians has fallen by 90 percent in 20 years, from one and a half million Christians to 150,000 Christians. This is a disaster. I do not want to teach Iraq, but I want stability for Iraq, because stability is the condition for the protection of women and for the protection of Christians.

Mr President! Famine, poverty, displacement, persecution of Christians and mass migration – Sudan is in a catastrophic state. This is nothing new, this was the case in the time of Omar al-Bashir, and this has not changed to this day. When al-Bashir was deposed, many civil society groups, the students in Sudan, but also the West, cheered. Only: The West has made a mistake: Protests have been supported to drive the autocrats in Sudan out of court – somehow understandable, but no thought has been given to who could really replace them. Since then, there has been even greater chaos in Sudan. The Western-backed transitional government has long been history, superseded by a military government backed by Iran. This military government, in turn, is being challenged by militias allied with the Emirates. While Tehran and Abu Dhabi are doing realpolitik in Sudan, Europe unfortunately does not play a role in all of this. As an honest broker for the parties to the conflict, as a real-political force, we could pursue our own interests in the region, namely the protection of our Christian brothers in the faith, the fight against terror and the fight against mass migration to Europe.

Madam President, In Lebanon, innocent civilians are dying, and in Lebanon, children are dying. Humanitarian institutions, hospitals, schools, places of worship, even Christian churches are being bombed. No, these are not all weapons depots of Hezbollah. Anyone who says that is nonsense. Of course, Hezbollah bears massive complicity in this escalation – there is no doubt about it. We are currently in an escalation spiral. What we need now is a ceasefire. This is what the EU demands. Even the United States demands that. That is the condition for diplomacy. Unfortunately, all this is ignored, perhaps also because no one takes the EU seriously anymore. We must make it clear that we do not support this war. Because we also have to cushion the consequences of foreign wars again and again: Escape, mass migration and terror. All this is not in our interest. In our interest is de-escalation through diplomacy. In our interest is peace in the Middle East, so that dying on all sides finally stops and so that we do not sleepwalk into a third world war.

Madam President, Acts have consequences, and I do not mean the deeds of the detainees condemned by Lukashenko. This is a very bad thing, no doubt about it; This is absolutely to be condemned. But I also mean the actions of the West and also the actions of the EU. Because in some respects, they also share responsibility for the fact that opposition members are in Belarusian prison. This is the high price of regime changeAttempts in Minsk, in which Brussels also participated. They have encouraged people to revolt; Prisoners are now paying for interventionist escapades. It is not only the prisoners who have to suffer, because Lukashenko uses migrants as a hybrid weapon of war on the border with Poland. Some of them really behave like the worst barbarians. I am thinking here of the Polish border guard Mateusz Sitek, who was murdered with a knife when he wanted to protect our external borders. A true hero who gave his life to defend Europe. He was only 21 years old. I condemn Lukashenko's arrest of political opponents. I also condemn Lukashenko's use of the migratory weapon against Europe. But I also condemn the EU's constant interference in matters of other states that do not concern it. All these regime changeAttempts, all the color revolutions, all the interference in the affairs of other states have brought nothing but chaos, chaos, chaos. Stop this, so that opposition figures in Belarus are no longer snatched up and so that Polish border guards like Mateusz Sitek no longer have to pay with their lives.

Mr President! Child marriages, forced marriages and honour killings are on the rise, almost 800 gang rapes in the last year alone, around 14,000 knife attacks – the trend is rising sharply – and over 100,000 female genital mutilations: These are not figures for Afghanistan, these are figures for Germany. They show: Whoever receives half Kabul does not help Kabul, but becomes Kabul himself. We don't want that. Above all, we want order. Order through deportations, deportations of Afghans. This also requires pragmatic relations with the Taliban, not arrogant teachings. I'm afraid that's exactly what you still don't understand in the West. You don't have to like the Taliban. I don't like the Taliban either, I don't like this new law. But they are the new old masters in the country, in a country where the population has so far avoided any attempt at re-education. Whether sovietization, whether democratization, all this did not work out. Afghanistan is not called the cemetery of empires for nothing. The U.S. Embassy in Kabul on June 21 Pride month Raising the rainbow flag, the response of the Afghans was unequivocal: The Taliban invaded Kabul and the West retreated. Western value imperialism has failed. And now, three years after this failure, we want to teach Afghanistan again – we are not entitled to do that. Let's leave that to its neighbors, Iran, China. Both have expressed critical views on the situation of Afghan women, both calling on Afghanistan to end restrictions on women's work and education. Their words will not fade away, because they know the region better than we do. Kabul is dependent on good relations with Beijing and Tehran. We, on the other hand, should first turn in front of our own door. Brussels and Berlin must not become Kabul. Our interest can only be in deporting, deporting and deporting – with diplomacy rather than with a swarm of values.

Madam President, The hypocrisy of this House is truly impressive. Where there are terrorists, close your eyes. Where there are no terrorists, you suddenly sense a security risk. It is not in Budapest that terrorist bombs explode, it is not in Budapest that women are raped in groups, and it is not in Budapest that the caliphate is proclaimed, but in our cities: in Berlin, in Brussels, in Paris. And you seriously dared to teach Viktor Orbán security lessons? That's ridiculous! Hungarians know exactly who they are letting into their country – you have not, as the last few years have shown. Hungary relies on Russian and Belarusian guest workers to implement its industrial plans; This is Hungary's right. In Western Europe, on the other hand, we have been experiencing the complete collapse of internal security for years, and this is not due to Russian guest workers, this is due to illegal migrants from the African-Arab region, who are being let into our country in droves with the help of resettlement programs and smuggling NGOs. Leave the fingers of Hungary, leave the fingers of Orbán! If you want more security, you have to dare more Orbán.
