Gender balance among non-executive directors of companies listed on stock exchanges (debate)

Madam President, Binding quotas for women in the top floors: Vocational qualifications were yesterday – the right gender is today. After years of fighting for equality to give no importance to gender, and it didn't matter whether man or woman, we now raise gender again to the all-important criterion. This is not progress, this is regression – regression to a Marxist ideological, better world in wh…

– Madam President, ladies and gentlemen! In the election to the Berlin House of Representatives, there were serious structural errors, the accusation of election fraud is in the room: Votes were missing, were exchanged, polling stations had temporarily closed, others were still open long after the official voter. The head of state has since resigned. The Berlin Constitutional Court has now declare…

Cultural solidarity with Ukraine and a joint emergency response mechanism for cultural recovery in Europe (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this report shows once again the hypocritical approaches of the EU. According to this report, the aim of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the destruction, extinction of Ukrainian culture and European culture and common identity. You have to ask: What is our common identity? I think this is about the Ukrainian people, and of course the Ukrainian people …

Mr President! Yes, the EU! Through the GDPR, the EU claims to be particularly committed to data protection. However, the Data Protection Regulation does not protect data – as so much in the EU. We have a whole jungle of privacy notices, consent forms – data does not protect them. They annoy the citizens without end. But on the other hand, the EU is doing everything it can to create the glass citiz…

Women’s poverty in Europe (debate)

Watch

Madam President, In this chic ivory tower, hardly anyone knows about poverty, but so be it. Poverty must be tackled, and the EU knows how. So we are now prescribing to the citizens how they have to shape their very personal way of life within their own four walls. Personal career or career planning is designed at the EU's drawing board, as is the case in the beautiful new world. The EU decides whi…

Madam President, In its judgment of 15 June 2022, the Federal Constitutional Court attested to former Federal Chancellor Merkel’s unconstitutional conduct when she called the democratic election of the Prime Minister of Thuringia in February 2020 unforgivable, spoke of a bad day for democracy and demanded that this election be reversed.

In order to keep it that way, let us make sure that we mai…

Global threats to abortion rights: the possible overturn of abortion rights in the US by the Supreme Court (debate)

Madam President, wow, the headline of this resolution already says it all. You're talking about a global threat. It just always has to be superlatives with you, doesn't it? Promoters of this debate should read the Treaties of the European Union first. This Parliament has no competence to lecture sovereign countries on how they should govern themselves. The USA is no longer a colony ruled from Euro…

Madam President, it was rather absurd when Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, lectured this House on freedom, democracy and the rule of law, considering the quasi totalitarian regime he runs in Canada. Unvaccinated Canadians are not allowed to board an airplane to leave the country. While unvaccinated passengers pose no risk to anyone, the vaccinated pilots, however, might. This vaccine may…

The impact of the war against Ukraine on women (debate)

Mr President! Today, the European Parliament is concerned about the well-being of Ukrainian women refugees.

But that's not enough. Under the pretext of wanting to protect fleeing Ukrainian women as vict…

Mr President! The EU therefore wants to promote civic education for citizens. I'm just afraid: What you want is to politically indoctrinate the citizens. The task of elected representatives in a democracy is to implement the political will of the people and not to dictate to the people what will they have. Nor is it our task to persevere in misguided politics, which only needs to be better explain…

It was not Corona itself, but rather the hopelessly exaggerated Corona measures, to which my conclusion is: I'm not afraid of Corona.
