The despicable terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, Israel’s right to defend itself in line with humanitarian and international law and the humanitarian situation in Gaza (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. If you listen to some discussion here, you might think that this is just another spiral in the Middle East conflict – but it is not. This day, 7 October 2023, is a turning point. It was the deadliest attack on Jewish life since the Holocaust. And it wasn't collateral damage, it wasn't an attack on the Israeli state. It was an attack on babies, children, old men,…

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen! It is still less than eight months before the European elections, an election in which European citizens have the chance to assert their democratic say. All of this will take place at a time of disinformation campaigns by autocratic governments and dictators who are trying by all means to attack our rule of law. We know that this has already happen…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Unfortunately, I have to say it: Your speech didn't convince me this time. And I suspect that it also leaves the citizens relatively perplexed.

What do we have to do? We need good rules, and we have often found good rules in response to such scandals. Now, unfortunately, the Front National deputies leave the house, because it was then about Marine Le Pen, wh…

Mr President, Commissioner! Democracies thrive on a free and independent press. They live on people who investigate, who uncover, who are critical of their governments. This is precisely what governments in undemocratic countries do not want. And some companies are also trying to silence critical journalists. How do they do that? Through such actions – SLAPPs.
