Iran’s unprecedented attack against Israel, the need for de-escalation and an EU response (debate)

Mr President! Not only today, in my last speech in the European Parliament, I stand here as a free Member of Parliament and not as a representative of the AfD delegation, especially because the occasion is the cowardly and devious drone and missile attack of the terrorist Iranian mullah regime on Israel. But not only the AfD, but also the EU: Europe must understand that Iran's attack on Israel and…

The immediate risk of mass starvation in Gaza and the attacks on humanitarian aid deliveries

Mr President! The population in Gaza suffers, yes, and certainly many innocents are affected. But Israel has the right, not only the right, but the duty, to ensure that October 7 never repeats itself. 70% of Palestinians supported the terrorist attack after being questioned, and among the cowardly murderers were reported to be many civilians. I don't want the images of cheering Palestinians out of…

Type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) (debate)

Mr President! It is gratifying that, once again, the Euro 7 standard has allowed majorities to form across factions, which instead of green ideology and visions could at least partially maintain a measure and centre for the car industry and thus ultimately also be consumer-friendly, because it would have been the cars in the low price segment that would have experienced a massive increase in price…

EU climate risk assessment, taking urgent action to improve security and resilience in Europe (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner! So now the European Environment Agency has published a climate risk analysis. Of course, this report also does not lack the allegedly hundreds of thousands of apocalyptic climate deaths – which for me, this EU agency has also simply delegitimised itself scientifically. Yes, humanity's success story is based on adapting to an ever-changing climate. And no, not CO2, bu…

EU2040 climate target (debate)

Mr President! Not only that net-zero CO2 is to be achieved by 2050 and from there even a removal of CO2 from the atmosphere is planned, with the ludicrous goal of reducing this atmospheric CO2. No, the political climate madness is to start already in 2040 to new heights: 90% CO2 reduction compared to 1990. Let's take a look at my country, the green climate world champion Germany: The de-industrial…

Plants obtained by certain new genomic techniques and their food and feed (debate)

Madam President, Normally, it is rather rare for me to support Commission regulations. In the case of the regulation on plants produced with new genomic techniques, this is definitely the case. So-called NGT plants do not contain any foreign genes, so they could also be caused by natural mutations. In my opinion, however, setting the limit for 20 genetic modifications is too arbitrary as a natural…

A Hamas that is also building its terror network in Europe. It would be better if they dealt intens…

Mr President! How would the 70,000 participants of the climate conference have come to Dubai without fossil fuels? Hardly with the cargo bike. It is therefore also good for the climate professional churns that no binding exit from fossil fuels has been decided and nuclear energy is seen as a solution. Both are available both as primary energy sources and as needed at all times, in contrast to elec…
