The Commission’s 2024 Rule of Law report (debate)

Watch

Now, the thing was that the PiS government changed a lot of organisational procedure to elect only judges close to PiS to the Constitutional Court. Now, the Constitutional Court is 100 % loyal to PiS. The current government is trying to change that, but the president can come in with a veto – so there is no possibility for the current government to change this. Now, do you want to punish a governm…

The Commission’s 2024 Rule of Law report (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen! Democracy thrives on people knowing what is going on, both in their country and internationally. Today came the news: 71% of Germans actively avoid news. I see it as a reflex: There are bad headlines every day, you sometimes want to pull the blanket over your head. But then what happens? Switching off often means being on social media. Then ther…

Roadmap for Women`s Rights (debate)

Watch

Mr President! Let's look around the world: Who is at the forefront of defending democratic values? Very often it is the women. Whether in Poland, in Ukraine, in Belarus, in Iran, in Afghanistan, also in the USA: It is often women with their courage and civil courage who fearlessly face the autocrats and despots of this world. Are women the better people? No, not necessarily – as we sometimes see a…

Dear colleague Gražulis, I will explain it again. If I keep giving you blue cards now, with every speaker that comes, I cannot give them to other people. And there will be a point where I have to say no blue cards at all anymore. This is why I decided to give every Member the opportunity to raise a blue card, but only once, because otherwise we cannot finish in time. We are limited in the end. If …

Collaboration between conservatives and far right as a threat for competitiveness in the EU (topical debate)

Watch

Mr President! But for your new Red Socks campaign, you still have to explain to me why you are working with the BSW, the hardcore communists, in Thuringia. But that may be another question. In the EU, Member States are working together to be stronger together, and the right-wing margin of Parliament wants exactly the opposite. They are divided in themselves, but in one they agree: They are nationa…
