Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Well, there are a lot of necessary provisions in the Convention, and if only they remained, the document could be adopted unanimously and probably would have a chance to be effective. On the other hand, no. You have to put into every document, even the most needed one, you have to push the ideology. It is, of course, about forcing everyone to re…

I support this claim because people should know what values you really profess. Value number one – double standards. Well, you want to punish Poland with sanctions, because it supposedly has a politicized way of choosing judges. Meanwhile, judges are elected in Poland the s…

Madam President, I'm sorry. Well, in recent years you have been telling everyone that you need to bet on gas and it will be cheaper, greener and safer. And what?

You're just getting in the way of treaties. You're bothered by the law. You would like to do everything with dull force. That's how you are a democratic body.
