Speeches

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. First of all, I wanted to ask you, how do you deal with this split self? In Article 15, you write that non-execution of judgments of national courts violates the rule of law. And your people in Poland do this: If they win the verdict, they will recognize it, and if they lose in court, they will not recognize it. In article 39 you say this: politicians cannot interfere in the activities of the media, and in Poland they not only forcibly took over the media, but also the public media financed the activities of the candidate of your party and even admitted it. And what's more, you call in article 47 for more funding for your NGOs. I wanted to show you something, namely it's like this, it's a tree, and through this tree, one of the organisations you've been so eager to bring here to the European Parliament has spent more than half a million on funding your candidate. Unregistered, unpaid, illegal campaign financing. Are you going to teach anyone about the rule of law? It's a shame, isn't it? So once again we want to say, once again very loudly, I believe that this is the last term where you put off such a circus, that you support who you choose, who you want and who you do not, using illegal political tools. It finally has to change. This is the last such term. I remember Mr. Reinders sitting there teaching Poland day and night until he changed the government in Poland. And how did it end? After he taught, he went to the lottery and won his famous money, which you know about. That's what it looked like.

Madam President, I'm sorry. The media in Poland has just uncovered an incredible scandal. Namely, according to the communicators, there was an organized criminal network that smuggled migrants into the European Union and made huge money from it. The prosecutor's office has just filed an indictment in this case. The problem is that the names of current MEPs also appear in these text messages revealed on Signal. And this matter should be urgently clarified...

Mr President, thank you very much. Everything that surrounds us, from bridges, cars, furniture, these modern office buildings or your beloved windmills to photovoltaics, is made of steel. And for the production of durable steel, as well as for the metallurgical industry, coking coal is needed. Coking coal is therefore a strategic raw material without which there will be neither development nor security in the European Union. The largest producer of this raw material in the European Union is Poland and Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa. Unfortunately, JSW thanks to your colleagues from the Platform is close to collapse. In addition to their inefficiencies, JSW is killing your green policy, and also uncontrolled import of this raw material from outside the European Union, where there is no burden of climate policy. So why are coconut coal and derivatives entering the European Union without the costs of climate policy not subject to duties intended for this? How is the same product from Poland, loaded with a green backpack of costs, to compete with the same product without these loads from Africa? The same goes for soda. The demand for soda in the European Union is and will be. You have just solemnly decided to close one of the largest such plants in the European Union, in Poland, in Janikowo. Hundreds of people on the pavement, and the activity can no longer be rebuilt. The owners say they have not withstood the costs of the Green Deal. So the same soda is supplied to our market by the Turks or the Chinese. So you liquidated your own business so that the planet wouldn't burn up by pulling the same product out of Turkey, emitting even more carbon dioxide. That is why we are tabling an amendment to impose tariffs on soda and coking coal entering the European Union, because we must save our economy, our development and our security.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Let's call things by their first name. You have created a secret way of subsidizing the political parties of your choice with the money of all the citizens who have no idea. You're subsidizing hundreds of millions of euros of what you call civic organizations, and in fact they're run by politicians and they're running illegal campaigns. And this is exactly the example of Qatargate: These were organizations that allegedly dealt with the rule of law in Poland and did not notice the money from Qatar. Such an example applies to the current campaign in Poland, where the most expensive Facebook campaign in our country was financed from the outside by, by the way, your favorites, who often visited here. No registration required, no taxes, no nothing. It is simply an incredible scandal and that is why you are so afraid of transparency, that is, of this type of legislation. You are afraid of transparency – whether it is in the Pfizer case, whether it is in the LIFE Green programme, or now as in nation states – to show people how this mechanism really works. And the fact that one party illegally received all the funding from the budget, and the other party, your favorite, not only has this funding, but is also subsidized illegally from outside by third-sector organizations that are supposedly civic, and in fact are political, adds to the taste in Poland. And you call it a fair election? This is the example of Hungary. Transparency, transparency and more transparency.

Madam President, on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, you are talking about responsibility, courage, justice. But those are only words. We are still waiting for action. Poland, the country where the war was started, was divided between Germany and Russia after the Ribbentrop‑Molotov Pact. From the first to the last day of the war, Poland was on the right side. It had no institutional collaborators and lost almost 30 % of its pre-war resources – the most in Europe – and six million citizens. One third of this territory was taken and given to Russia. Until today, Poland has not received any reparation – no real compensation, only symbolic. Instead of giving justice and equal chances to Polish citizens, instead of helping new generations of Poles who should not pay for the fact that their parents stayed on the right side and did not collaborate with evil, the EU spent billions on silly ideology because the Earth will burn. This is not responsibility or justice which you are talking about so much. This unfair advantage built through a barbaric attack on the other nations must finally be reduced. This is not only about Poland, but also about Greece, the Baltic states and other victims. This 80th anniversary should finally bring real action to clean this stain. It is time to create compensation and an equal‑opportunity budget in Europe instead of a special budget for green ideology. To make up for the guilt, the effects of the evil must be removed completely.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. So this is it: The Spaniards have been left without electricity, and you say to the end that you do not know what happened. You are analyzing. You're checking it out. It is even funny, as I observe, that you are trying to do everything not to admit the thing that everyone knows, namely that it is the green policy that is to blame, that is, you. It's like this. On April 16, for the first time in history, the Spaniards boasted that they rely only on renewable energy, which was proudly announced by the left-wing authorities, and a moment later 55 million people were left without electricity. The reason is obvious, i.e. excess electricity was produced and too few synchronous generators with the so-called inertia, i.e. stable energy sources that you fight so much, such as atomic energy or energy from coal, were operating because of too much RES. You just want to cheat the laws of physics. You want to deceive science into believing that this will not burn the planet. What an absurdity. Energy is more expensive in Europe. As a result, our companies are losing competitiveness and Europe is losing importance. And you're putting people in danger of blackouts. In the case of Eastern and Central Europe, this is an invitation addressed to Putin. And just like with Nord Stream, we also explained it to you. You didn't understand anything either, and so on. And now it's like this: What are you going to do about it? This is the most interesting. The Commissioner says to add money from all European taxes precisely in order to mitigate these effects. So, yes, first you make people pay green taxes. They have to spend more of their money each month. And now they have to add, because it does not work. What an absurdity! We must finally put an end to this green madness.

Dear colleagues, I would kindly ask you to vote against this motion. This is, of course, true that the rebels connected to ISIS are not allowing anyone to displace. So not all organisations can get there. However, that does not change the facts. In the last 15 months, a total of 631 people have been murdered in this part of Africa, including 554 Christians. This was confirmed by US administration, previous administration, I need to say so. And then they left the last bodies of children and women in the church as a form of statement. So I kindly ask you to vote against this motion.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Christians are the most persecuted group in the world. Worldwide, more than 380 million Christians in 78 countries experience intense persecution and discrimination because of their faith. In the 50 countries included in the World Persecution Index, persecution is very high or extremely high. And what's happening in the Congo lately cannot go unanswered. Once again, Christians were murdered there only for their faith, and the bodies were left as a form of statement by the bandits in the church. Over the past 15 months, a total of more than 600 brutally murdered people have been verified there, including more than 500 Christians who died in these attacks. These figures show the systemic nature of the persecution. ISIS-affiliated Allied Democratic Forces have intensified attacks since the declaration of allegiance to the Islamic State, which have become more dramatic, such as attacks and beheadings, some of which are recorded and shown as propaganda. The European Union, which was created by Christians, must call for the most persecuted religion in the world today - the religion of freedom, respect and dialogue.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Well, security, great, but it is good that you first take care of security within the European Union, end migration policy and start respecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. First you cancelled the results of the elections in Romania because the wrong candidate won, and now you have banned the poll leader Marine Le Pen from running in the elections, so as not to risk winning this time. You have done this despite the fact that the Western democratic system is built on the presumption of innocence and instance. And let's be honest, the head of the Constitutional Council who committed such a scandal is a longtime politician of Macron's party. He was just the head of his office and the deputy ceased to be, because he lost the election - the last election - and ironically forbade the person who won this election, and it was with record support. So you didn't really take Marine Le Pen's rights. You have taken away the rights of ordinary citizens, the right to decide their future, who they want to choose. You have noticed that people are increasingly no longer fooling themselves with this propaganda of yours, and you want to take away their rights and give them to the judges of your choice. It is up to them to decide for the citizens. Only then is it neither a separation of powers nor a democracy, but it is the tyranny of the oligarchy. And it does not matter how many times you repeat the word democracy, freedom of citizens, since in your decisions you do everything exactly the opposite, in order to take as many freedoms and rights as possible from citizens and give these rights to the judges of your choice. This has to be over.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. So the title of the debate is: 100 days of the European Commission, we deliver defence, migration and competitiveness. And in general, this could be considered ironic, if not for the fact that the subject is so serious. So let's break it down into prime factors, which is what you're supposed to have done. The Defence Fund is to consist of three components: giving countries the voluntary possibility to transfer funds from the Cohesion Fund. Good luck getting someone to agree to it. Two: encourage countries to increase defence spending. And in order to raise this fund, all countries must agree to it. The Netherlands disagreed yesterday. And three: Another common debt that all countries have to agree to. And see here the point above. So the only thing you've learned about this case so far is the PowerPoint presentation. Well, congratulations! In addition, there will be no security in Europe without its own agriculture. And history teaches how to end countries that do not have their own food during the conflict. And you are bragging in this document about the agreement with Merkosur that will destroy European agriculture. Migration. You don't drive here, you drive. I recommend everyone to see what is happening on the Polish-German border, where migrants are simply driven to parking lots next to Polish hypermarkets. In addition, it is not known at all on what basis the Schengen area was properly suspended. And next year, the migration package will come into force, which will generate another wave of migration. And you will indeed be bringing migrants to migration centres, which will mean that instead of spending more on external defence, we will spend more on internal defence against foreigners in our own countries. The funny thing is that you are competitive. Yes, you presented a compass of competitiveness, in which, for example, you propose to reduce the obligations of ideological reporting to entrepreneurs, i.e. you abolish the principle that you boasted at the end of the previous term. So you're fighting each other very bravely. Well, congratulations. However, if we really want to talk about competitiveness and a strong economy and thus about greater opportunities for armaments, it cannot be done without throwing ETS1 and ETS2 and all this green madness into the dumpster. You must always be reminded that the European Union is only responsible for 7% of the world's carbon emissions. And for this fight to make sense, all countries must do it at the same time. And carbon dioxide emissions are increasing every year in the world, so what we do is completely pointless. You are charging European entrepreneurs and European citizens an ideological tax that limits our military, economic and social capabilities. And that's the end of it.

Madam President, Ministers, there is no doubt who is the aggressor and who is the victim. The aggressor is Russia and the victim is Ukraine. There is no doubt that no reset with Russia has ever succeeded and never will. The only thing that can stop Russia is credible force, and the general direction of strengthening European arms capabilities is good. However, you will not escape from the fundamental questions. You are talking about the security of Europe. Great. I would like to ask you how the security of Europe is served by cancelling elections in Romania and not allowing the candidate with 50 % of support to run? How does allowing Tusk to destroy the opposition, take away all public money from the opposition party, and imprison MEPs serve Europe's security? How do your immigration policy and the Migration Pact serve European security? And the key question is: do you want Europe to defend itself from external threats, or for Europeans to kill each other? Instead of integrating Europe in the face of threats, as usual you choose your particular interests. If the strength of Ukraine grew from the number of your empty words, the Ukrainian army now would be preparing to parade in Moscow. Do you want to help? You have EUR 300 billion of frozen Russian assets. Give them to Ukraine. That will be enough for five years of war. But you won't do it. You keep it because you want them to use to negotiate further resets with Russia. That is why you keep attacking America, provoking it to leave Europe. And you yourselves do not have those military capabilities. Your behaviour will cause the EU countries that border Russia to be in great danger. President Zelenskyy found about this after the summit in London. He will not provide the army weapons with your slogans, and that's why we need to change it.

If this is what you say farmers will benefit from, then the question is crucial, why are they protesting? You think they're fools, that they don't know what they're doing? Do you know their business better than they do themselves? I think the opposite. Besides, I think there is a logical error in your question, because if you say that they will benefit from it, why compensation packages? Well, what for? It's a waste of money. It is better to spend it on innovation. So I'm sorry. Exactly the same thing I heard in this room about Nord Stream. I will say it again – you said there would be no problem. And what? Agriculture is our security.

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. Everything you say about the agreement with Mercosur is exactly like the situation with Nord Stream. Many people in this House have told you that divesting your own strategic energy resources in favour of external gas imports will result in short-term profits for few, and will end in tragedy in the long run. Well, what? And today we have exactly the same thing. You want to destroy European agriculture in order to sell cars that are no longer competitive, among other things, because of you, because of the Green Deal. The problem is that agriculture is not only about food, jobs, but above all about security. And stop lying that it doesn't have any impact on agriculture. If that were the case, you would not present any compensation packages. Why such packages? You assume that food will always be available in Europe. That's what you thought about gas. Well, I'm asking. Unless you assume that the Europeans will always manage somehow, because you have allowed worms to eat. But you really need to be kicked out, not the farmers. They need to be thanked because we have the best food in the world, and we won't let you destroy it.

I think, however, that you should learn and see that in the European Union, for example, there is such a huge amount of coal that it would calmly be enough to have 6 times cheaper energy sources. If we were to build nuclear power plants, it would be exactly the same. And what you have changed over the last decade, the answer is simple, over the last decade you have built energy sources in many countries, an energy mix on renewable energy sources. What is the effect? The economies in these countries are barely standing or falling. This is the result of your stupid ideological ideas.

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. Well, yes, yes. You have listed the MEGA movement as the biggest threat to Europe, i.e. make Europe great again. And you even paraphrased it to destroy Europe back. That's a good thing. Now let's talk about who really destroyed Europe? Let's talk about the facts, because in demagogy you are the best in the world. You've been running the cartel here for decades. A decade ago, 10 of the 40 largest listed companies were based in the European Union. There are only two left today. 32nd and 36th place. In 2008, the EU economy accounted for more than 90% of the US economy, and today it accounts for 50%. Why is that? Because then the ETS and all derivatives began to work at full capacity and consistently destroyed our industry and competitiveness. Today, 6 out of 10 of the largest unicorns, or startups with a capitalization of over $1 billion, are Chinese and come from the United States. It was the opposite before you. Even though the United States has 330 million citizens and we have 450 million citizens, they work much more efficiently. Why is that? When I listened to JD Vance in Paris yesterday, you could hear it. He spoke of artificial intelligence as an opportunity to develop and build wealth. And at that time, in this House, we have heard that this is only a threat. When the United States comes out of the green climate agreement, I hear here that we need even more of it. And this is what we support China, because 80% of photovoltaic panels come to the European Union from China right now. When the United States returns to traditional energy sources, instead of ending it, you are proposing more taxes, such as ETS2, and energy costs are consistently destroying our economy, destroying even crown pearls, such as the automotive and chemical industries. The heads of companies, the largest companies in Europe, are appealing to you to do something about it, and you are being talked to like poles. The European Union has barely developed for years. We only consume the wealth that previous generations have earned for us. So it's time to put an end to it. European companies wear backpacks with ideological taxes. We've got to get these backpacks off them. This is our greatest task.

You have allowed this to happen without any problem, and it did not apply to the European Union. And today, when we talk about the European Union, you say that this is not a matter for the European Union. It's a scandal, a scandal...

I just wanted to remind you that yesterday, to be exact, there were two agenda items on the left that concerned the Middle East. You have allowed it without any problem...

Madam President, Prime Minister, Commissioner, Poland has everything that is necessary to lead important processes in Europe. It is in the centre of the continent, so it can build major airports and logistic hubs. It has the most coal, so it can have the cheapest energy. Poland has sea, mountains and rivers so it can become a tourism and trade powerhouse. Poland is also the safest country in Europe according to your data, and we are building the biggest army in the region. Over the last decades, we have been the fastest-growing country on the continent. Poland also has an impressive history. This year marks 1 000 years of the Kingdom of Poland, during which time we have built the greatest states with the greatest freedom – religious and political freedom – and the first constitution in Europe. We have everything we need, but we have one problem... ...the prime minister of the imposter. Exactly the same as you beautifully tells about everything And all that he said, together with you does exactly the opposite. Now listen to the specifics. Well, yes – he talks about independence from Russia, and last week it turned out that he bought Russian gas for 26 million in Warsaw and downloaded Gazprom's partner from the sanctions list after a fictitious transaction for 3 zlotys. He speaks about security and defending borders against migration, and he implements the migration pact with you and builds 49 centres for illegal migrants in Poland, in order to make the last safe place in Europe your shape and your likeness. And yet he brazenly says that he warned about it. I checked the vote in the previous term of the European Parliament. Well, you, Donald Tusk's party, demanded sanctions against Poland for defending its own borders against migration. This is shame and disgrace. He talks about innovation in the European Union, and he has blown up outstanding teams dealing with artificial intelligence and the design of a third-generation nuclear reactor, the only one of its kind in Europe. He talks about respect for freedom, and he has prepared a bill that his official will be able to remove any content from the Internet exactly like the Communists in China. He never allowed the only major news station in Poland to attend his press conference. And they're totally talking about how to strip her of her license. To this young man who criticized them for their inability to help the flood victims, they just came in the morning and arrested him. That's how much he loves the freedom he's been talking about. Ladies and gentlemen, he is talking about the competitiveness of the economy, and he is implementing with you this stupid green ideology that has caused us to have the highest energy prices in Europe. For this, he does not have the courage to do the same as Slovakia, for example, and say: We'll suspend ETS2. Not only to speak beautifully, but to use the Polish Presidency to do something good for Poles and for Europeans. Finally, he talks about the rule of law, that is, a state based on the law. And you need to hear it. He's the one who wiped his shoes right now. He spoke beautifully, ladies and gentlemen, about the need for unity. Do you want to see what this unity looks like in Poland? Well, for the sake of political competition, he announced Nuremberg – these are his exact words – that is, the hanging of the Nazis. He then took over the prosecutor's office by force. In the Polish system, it is so that the president's consent is needed to change the national prosecutor. But he didn't care at all. He didn't even ask the president, he just used force. He did the same with the public media. The Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court ordered the Prime Minister to reinstate the legal state prosecutor. But he ignored those sentences at all. And now I'm going to quote him: “We will commit acts that, according to some legal authorities, will be inconsistent or not entirely in accordance with the provisions of the law.” And further on: "However, I will do so in full knowledge that not all of them will meet the rule of law criterion." End of quote. I wanted to ask you: Do you know the second prime minister in Europe who says he is breaking the law and will continue to do so? So it's like this: Arrest people without upholding their right to a fair trial. Ignore the immunities. Two deputies were arrested in the Presidential Palace. He did the same with a Member of Parliament who had the immunity of the Council of Europe. The last person to do so was Vladimir Putin. He abused the ladies he arrested to force his opponents to testify. He has never given unpunished women the status of ‘dangerous’, just like terrorists. And the gentlemen undressed them and watched them bathe. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a disgrace. And this was confirmed in a special report by the ombudsman. I want to ask you, where are the women's rights defenders now? In Poland, parties are financed by money from the budget. The Prime Minister took all the money from his main competition, so in the presidential election it will be like this: his party will get about 50 million, and the competition, which is greater than him exactly nothing. That's how he treats the equality he talked about. The court ruled that he had broken the law and ordered him to pay the opposition money. But he says he won't do it, and he disregards court rulings. And in general, his rule is a daily crime chronicle. And, of course, this abuse of power, non-compliance with the law and non-compliance with court judgments does not prevent him from dressing as a lawman every day. He learned it exactly here from Mr Reynders, who, as it turned out today, went to launder money in the morning to teach Poland how to comply with the law in the afternoon. So, ladies and gentlemen, let's be clear: The European Union has no competence in this matter. I don't expect any intervention. I just want people to know what hypocrites you are. I want them to hear about double standards...

Of course it does matter. However, from my perspective it is important if you have clear evidence, because I don't see this kind of evidence. What I see is that you like censorship. You don't like the internet because in the internet we still have some kind of freedom – That's why you don't like the internet. In your media, leftist media, you can do whatever you want; on the internet it's more difficult. So that's why you try to cancel the election.

Madam President, I need to admit, Georgescu is a candidate I would never vote for. However, just because we don't like him is not a reason to cancel elections. What exactly are you accusing him of? Let's read: that he hired an agency to help him share content online. Let anyone whose group has never done this raise their hand. Just like I thought. Or that an algorithm on TikTok promoted the candidate. Have you forgotten how Facebook algorithms promote your content while blocking the right-wing content? In fact, if you were to cancel elections based on support of specific media that are in Europe 80 % leftist, then we should cancel almost all governments in Europe. Finally, you say because he had help from outside, putting aside the fact that there is no evidence for this. Have you forgotten how you illegally engage in elections in Poland and other countries to support your candidate? You even went so far to illegally block European funds to support your candidates. And you want to hold others accountable for interfering in national elections? Come on. It is preposterous! The truth is different. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat the word 'democracy' in every possible way. You hate democracy. You hate people. You hate dissenting views. You hate freedom and you love tyranny. That's why this is the fight for something much greater. This is the fight for European citizens' freedom. And we must stop it.

Madam President, thank you very much. You are talking today about hybrid threats to our borders, but you are the biggest threat to the borders of the European Union. First, you invited migrants here and irretrievably destroyed the peaceful and secure lives of Europeans. Then, when Poland defended itself against the hybrid attack of Putin and Lukashenko, instead of defending the borders of the European Union, you attacked those who defended those borders, and that was one of the reasons why Poland was sanctioned by you. Every now and then in this Parliament, I have seen some exhibitions, debates, speeches saying that it is wrong to defend the borders of the European Union – this is how you encouraged Putin to attack again and today we cannot get out of it. What's more, you dismissed the head of Frontex, who wanted to help Poland and defend its borders, because he did not want to accept any leftist ideologues into his institution. Remember when you defended Rubcow? And now Putin personally welcomed him to the exchange of agents on the tarmac of his airport. So it is none other than you who have created the problem that you are fighting so heroically today. So if I see a threat somewhere, it's in your short-sightedness, stupidity and ideological insecurities.

Madam President, I'm sorry. When Poland entered the European Union, the economic growth of the Union was similar to that of the United States. Then you introduced the ETS. Since then, disposable income per person in the United States has doubled compared to the European Union. And since then, we've been losing in everything that matters - industry, space technologies, artificial intelligence, startups, demography, innovation. Why is this happening? Your report itself, the Draghi report, points to two main reasons. Firstly: overregulation. This hyperinflation of the law means that only giants can find their way in it, and this is at the expense of the competitiveness of small and medium-sized companies. And secondly: energy prices subjected to absurd, ideological taxes, by which European companies ceased to count. And finally, an ideology where death in the form of abortion or euthanasia is more desirable than life, and children are misperceived because they allegedly produce too much carbon dioxide. And so you have to reach for migrations and bring more and more people to the European Union, who only generate costs and problems. So this budget is what made Europe weaker every year. And it will either change, or it will cause a gigantic catastrophe.

Madam President, thank you very much. I want to stress that the Union has no competence in this area, but since you are already talking about organised crime, I want to tell you about one of the most dangerous gangs: A gang of smiling people. Well, they gained power illegally, blocking people's money during the most difficult times of the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and covid, getting along with external force to blackmail society. Then they violently took over state institutions, the media, the prosecutor's office, now the courts and use them for gangster scores. Smiles are sick too. They suffer from the same disease as in the Kremlin. Namely, they see Nazis everywhere and everyone whom they consider to be a Nazi is to be denazified. They also have a recognizable sign. Their trademark is 8 stars. Stars, because it is a vulgar slogan, characteristic of riffraff and criminal groups. If you are wondering how it is even possible that such a gang operates in the 21st century, then I answer: He has strong confidants. If you ask a question: where? Then take a look at the first rows here and it would be best if you took your phones, opened your mirrors and looked into them.
