Media freedom and further deterioration of the Rule of law in Poland (debate)

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

Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund 2021-2027 - Integrated Border Management Fund: Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy 2021-2027 (debate)

Madam President! It costs to take good care of the EU's external borders. That is the way it is, because only with it and our economic muscle can we take good care of the Europe and the free and fair world that our children will soon take over. It also costs that the influx of illegal migrants has not yet slowed down, and it costs to treat properly strangers who have fallen into the arms of traffi…
