The EU's role in combating the COVID-19 pandemic: how to vaccinate the world (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, Before discussing how Brussels best vaccinates the world, with its completely novel vaccines approved in record time, it is better to talk about facts and figures: for example, a completely non-transparent EU Commission, page-by-page redacted pharmaceutical contracts and deleted communications; e.g. on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, their side effects, risk groups, errati…

Outcome of the COP26 in Glasgow (debate)

Watch

Mr President! So let's look at whether the recent climate meeting in Glasgow was a success. 40 000 registered participants were brought together with the help of CO2, the elimination of which was decided there. CO2 net zero only works really well on paper for the foreseeable future. But Ms von der Leyen was able to donate 1 billion euros from the EU budget, i.e. taxpayers' money, to any global for…

Common agricultural policy - support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States and financed by the EAGF and by the EAFRD - Common agricultural policy: financing, management and monitoring - Common agricultural policy – amendment of the CMO and other regulations (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. Fortunately, the draft law for the new Common Agricultural Policy dates back to 2018 and thus to the pre-Green Deal period and the period before the crude farm-to-table narratives – narratives that completely wrongly denounce our supply-providing farmers as alleged polluters and would like them to be educated, so to speak, to carbon sinks with food production…

An EU strategy to reduce methane emissions (debate)

Watch

Madam President, After CO2, therefore, methane emissions are addressed, which, according to this report, are the second most important greenhouse gas. The sources are clearly agriculture at 40%, fossil fuels at 35% and waste management at 20%. Since, according to the green self-image, an end to fossil fuels due to CO2 emissions is a consensus agreed upon as much as possible yesterday anyway, there…

UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, the UK (COP26) (debate)

Watch

Mr President! In two weeks, politicians and a steadily growing self-proclaimed climate elite will meet again to fight the self-proclaimed catastrophes with words and a lot of money. In an incomparable, crazy travel spectacle, you come together from all over the world with the help of the evil CO2 - which of course you would like to ban there. Citizens are judged, whether in terms of mobility, livi…

Farm to Fork Strategy (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, The explanatory memorandum of the committees responsible for the present Farm to Fork report calls for the Commission to make (literally) ‘agricultural policy the most ambitious project of the current mandate’, which reads: Climate neutrality. It is therefore planned to drive agriculture to the wall, similar to electricity supply, riddled with morality, orien…

European solutions to the rise of energy prices for businesses and consumers: the role of energy efficiency and renewable energy and the need to tackle energy poverty (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen. Don't you also feel the weirdness of talking about rising prices and energy poverty? It is precisely the Commission, with its completely inverted policy, with an uneconomical renewable energy ideology, a zero-pollution dream and an out of joint CO2 pricing and reduction, that an overwhelming majority of MEPs, you, my dear colleagues, not only agree with, but …

DE Speech

Natural disasters during the summer 2021 - Impacts of natural disasters in Europe due to climate change (debate)

Watch

Mr President! The devastating flood in Germany, which cost the lives of more than 180 people and caused immense damage in the billions, is certainly an extreme weather phenomenon. These people, who for the most part are still waiting for the much-announced non-bureaucratic help, need our sympathy, but above all our energetic and also financial support. Extreme weather is unfortunately as old as hu…

DE Speech

Presentation of the Fit for 55 package after the publication of the IPCC report (debate)

Watch

Mr President! When will citizens be told that the ban on internal combustion engines from 2035 will herald the end of individual mobility? It is not intended – nor could it be – to replace all cars with e-mobiles. The additional electricity in Germany alone would require twelve nuclear power plants, which will never exist – apart from the consumption of resources. When do you tell the citizen that…

Order of business

Watch

Mr President! Yes, today's decision on access to Parliament will probably be taken behind closed doors in the Conference of Presidents, and in the future it will only be possible with a COVID-19 passport or with a corresponding 3G rule. Since, firstly, this leads to discrimination between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, and this has already been classified as unacceptable and inadequate by th…
