Need to detect and to counter sabotage by the Russian shadow fleet, damaging critical undersea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. At the beginning, of course, full agreement with my honourable previous speaker. What more can I add? Therefore, I would like to draw attention to a completely different element, namely the dangers associated with acts of sabotage against critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, as well as those associated with the circumvention of sanctions against Russia by t…

Geopolitical and economic implications for the transatlantic relations under the new Trump administration (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Because I am a Pole, and therefore a European, because I have at heart the fate of my homeland, and thus also the fate of the project of united, sovereign and independent Member States of the European Union. That is why I welcome Donald Trump's words yesterday about the need to restore common sense in both the internal and external politics of the United States. …

Toppling of the Syrian regime, its geopolitical implications and the humanitarian situation in the region (debate)

Watch

Commissioner, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, The vast majority of my previous speakers expressed their satisfaction and joy at the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. Of course, any fall of a bloody dictator should bring relief and joy. But in this case, what we are seeing today in Damascus, in Aleppo, in other cities and regions of Syria, should the Syrians and we in Europe really feel relief an…

The rise of religious intolerance in Europe (debate)

Watch

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. It's been talked about here before. We talk a lot, and rightly so, about the anti-Semitism of Islamophobia, but, ladies and gentlemen, we live in a Christian Europe. Today, crime against Christians has increased by more than 44%. In 2023 alone, there were more than a thousand such manifestations of aggression against Christians and…

Organised crime, a major threat to the internal security of the European Union and European citizens (topical debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. Organised crime groups operate across borders.

Statement by the candidate for President of the Commission (debate)

Watch

Madam President, thank you very much. We can enchant reality, but in what state the Union is, everyone sees. Europe is in crisis, trust in the EU institutions is diminishing, citizens are living worse and worse. The cost of living is rising, and even worse, it will continue to rise, because the left-liberal establishment prefers to remain in the soteriological illusion that it will save the planet…

The need for the EU's continuous support for Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. It has been more than two years since Russia launched its barbaric war against Ukraine.

Children who have been deprived not only of childhood, but also of the right to life, dreams and dignity. Let's talk about who's more guilty: Israel or Hamas, but I think it…

Question Time with Commissioners - Preparedness of EU governments to combat foreign interference, including from Russia

Commissioner, thank you very much for these words, especially with regard to Poland, my country. I hope that this Russian disinformation, which may have been at the root of this completely irrational attack, which was directed here by a representative of the left, has been at least partially exposed. But I would like to ask you, Commissioner: how prepared are the EU institutions today, on the eve …

War in the Gaza Strip and the need to reach a ceasefire, including recent developments in the region (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Nothing justifies the suffering of the innocent Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, especially children, women, the elderly or the disabled. These sufferings affect Palestinians from the Israeli armed forces and special services. This war, as has already been discussed here, takes on an extremely criminal character, but it is worth emphasizing all the time …

Recent attacks on Christmas Eve in Plateau State in Nigeria

Mr President, thank you very much. I was astonished to hear from my previous speakers that this tragedy of Christians in Nigeria is the result of climate change, the struggles of shepherds with farmers or completely detached from the truth reasons. Let me quote you from the declaration of war against Christians to drive these Christians out of Nigeria. The jihadists, the jihadists, said: "We will …

The fight against hate speech and disinformation: responsibility of social platforms within the Digital Services Act (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. It has already been said that the very concept of hate speech originated in the Soviet Union as early as the 1940s. At that time, the communists used this concept to fight ideologically against the regime's political opponents. We can see how today the modern neo-Marxist left eagerly reaches for this Soviet invention. In this House, we have witnessed how a left-wing maj…

Need to release all hostages, to achieve a humanitarian ceasefire and prospect of the two-state solution (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. In the face of this new episode of this biblical conflict between the sons of Abraham, between the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael, we know one thing today that the European Union's response to these events should, in my opinion, be threefold. First, Israel should be urged to comply with international law and international humanitarian law. Second, call for anot…

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Poland has the lowest water resources in Europe. Only 7% of the water flowing through Poland is retained. As a result of climate change, the level in Poland's main rivers fell to several centimeters last year.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Once again, we come back to the discussion of an idea that has been voted on here in this House, but which is clearly in breach of the European Treaties. In this case, reference is made to Article 14 of the Treaty on European Union, which states that it is the Member States that receive the seats. There is no such thing as a swarm of heads, especially on the left side o…

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, It was a very interesting debate and I hope to draw constructive conclusions from it.
