EU preparedness against cyber-attacks following Russia invasion on Ukraine (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. First and foremost, we need to fight disinformation about the countries that are helping Ukraine the most, such as Poland. And it is characteristic that you are attacking Poland just on the holiday of the Constitution of May 3. It's amazing how history likes to repeat itself. Then the West was afraid that Poland, with its new constitu…

Violations of right to seek asylum and non-refoulement in the EU Member States (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, thank you very much. I see that the left adopts such a logic that everyone should be accepted: Generally open the borders and accept whoever you can, but not to all European countries, but to the poorer ones in the east, because we have closed our own richer countries a long time ago. For example, the Netherlands, because here the Dutch MEP says to welcome…

Ongoing hearings under Article 7(1) TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)

Watch

You call for an action against Poland because of the judiciary system, because of the reform in judiciary system, and I would like to ask you: do you know what really Poles changed in this system?

Ongoing hearings under Article 7(1) TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, thank you very much. Russia, like Ukraine, has a claim on Poland. And I think that in the Kremlin they must have a lot of fun when they see Germany attacking Poland with the hands of the European Union, which is helping Ukraine the most. You want to impose sanctions on Poland, because we do not want to do everything like you do. But really, what should we …

Cooperation and similarities between the Putin regime and extreme right and separatist movements in Europe (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The theme of this debate is the search for a right wing that cooperates with Russia. I'll help you. Let us remember: In agreement with Russia, Germany destroyed Poland in the 18th and 19th centuries. The head of the Prussian administration in Poland indicated as the goal of this action, I will quote: ‘making former slaves and Slavs Germans and p…

The Power of the EU – Joint European Action for more affordable, secure and sustainable energy (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Well, you could disconnect gas, money for gas to Putin in three minutes and bet on atom and coal, which we ourselves have a lot. But you don't want to do it for a simple reason. First, you would have to admit an ideological error. Anyway, what CO2 emissions in Europe during the war, how could you not stop this war. But the second reason is t…

The deterioration of the situation of refugees as a consequence of the Russian aggression against Ukraine (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Putin is incapable of waging any war without money. Poland has warned you that if the EU becomes dependent on Russia, it will use this money for the wrong purpose. And instead of stopping the "deals" with Putin, what did you do? You took revenge on Poland. I counted: 41 debates and resolutions hitting Poland during this term. Among other things, for what? For not…

Citizenship and residence by investment schemes (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Firstly, we must thank the rapporteur for a good initiative, a much-needed initiative. Why is this initiative so necessary? What is needed, ladies and gentlemen, is that we, in Europe, have indeed had a system – or is it still a system – where what we have almost the most valuable, that is, citizenship, can be…

The Rule of Law and the consequences of the ECJ ruling (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. You said it was about protecting money. The question is this: Why, Commissioner, did you first send a letter to Poland, when in your own rankings Poland is on the top of the countries that spend money the most honestly, and for example you did not send a letter to the Czech Republic, when the previous prime minister granted himself European money? But that didn't bother…

Digital Services Act (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Every day in this House we can hear that the rule of law and democracy are the most important. The only problem is that there is no democracy without freedom of speech. And when you look at it from the position of social monopolists, from social media, you can theoretically say anything, unless it's about abortion, unless it's about gender, unless it's about vacc…

The proposed Council decision on provisional emergency measures for the external border with Belarus based on article 78(3) TFEU (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, thank you very much. It was not Poland, it was the European Union that was attacked, but it was not someone else, it was Poland that defended Europe's borders again. And you are constantly reproaching Poland for something: and that he cannot take care of another person, and that Poland still lacks solidarity. I do not know if you know that recently …

State of play of the RRF (Recovery and Resilience Facility) (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Commissioner! You are blocking funds for Poland because you do not like the Polish justice system. And I know how to solve this problem. I will refer to the texts of ‘Libération’: What if Poland organised its justice system in the same way as you organise your justice system in the courts of the CJEU and the Court of Auditors? So this is it: a poli…

Climate, Energy and Environmental State aid guidelines (“CEEAG”) (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The new draft guidelines replace the 2014-2020 guidelines and focus more on climate objectives and less on energy security and competitiveness compared to the 2014-2020 guidelines. And all this can be seen, of course, the effects of this can be seen with the naked eye. You want to eliminate coal without taking into account the different s…

The Rule of law crisis in Poland and the primacy of EU law (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Prime Minister, Madam Commissioner, upholding the rule of law is important, but more important is equality. And look, German rulings 2010, 2019, 2020: the constitution is higher than EU law. France 2021: constitution higher than EU law. Spain 2020: constitution higher than EU law. Even Romania 2021: constitution higher than EU law. And now in Poland is exactly the same, but only Pola…

The state law relating to abortion in Texas, USA

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. I want to tell you that it is amazing what is going on in this House today. I mean, you're holding a debate to denounce Texas in the U.S., which has been defending life since the baby's heartbeat. And you say that the removal of this child is a human right, the right to be killed. And you know that the concept of human rights in general, is the concept according to whic…

The state of play on the submitted RRF recovery plans awaiting approval (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the EU is blocking funds for Poland because it believes that the Constitution is higher than EU law. Meanwhile, many EU countries have done exactly the same, including Germany, which has, of course, already received its funds. In addition, you say that Poland will only receive the funds if the Constitutional Tribunal rules as you wish in this matter. In other words, for years, you…

Reforming the EU policy on harmful tax practices (including the reform of the Code of Conduct Group) (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. When we talk about reforming the code, we need to start with what it is and why it was created. Its main objective was to stop unfair practices by tax-competing EU countries. In addition, changes in the economic environment also justified the need to adapt the Code to reality. As a Polish ECR delegation, we support the pursuit of a fa…

Pandora Papers: implications on the efforts to combat money laundering, tax evasion and avoidance (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. In this debate, we see that there is a certain absence that is more than eloquent. This is Commissioner Jurova. She so rebuked and tracked Hungary and Poland that she did not notice problems in her own backyard. Pandora Papers once again showed the problems of her colleague, Prime Minister Babish. The previous resolution of the European Parl…

State of EU cyber defence capabilities (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, I agree with the common strategic vision, achieving cyber defence resilience in the Union. Today, these capabilities are dispersed, and their consolidation and coordination is a task for the near future. Experts confirm that the European Union has an important, fully operational resource capable of ensuring cyber resilience and collective rapid res…

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

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. All television in Poland can work. However, it must do so in accordance with the law, which operates not only in Poland, but also in Europe. However, this is a completely different matter from your stories about the fact that this television is objective. For this television, for example, there is no Constitutional Tribunal, there is only the Przyłębska Tribunal. They a…

General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Well, ladies and gentlemen, green policy is important. However, it is very important that the green does not quickly turn into a black policy, full of poverty, unemployment. Let me give you an example of Poland. There are only three stable sources of energy: gas, atom and coal. And you, on the example of Poland, say this: We need to get rid of coal immediately. Y…

Breaches of EU law and of the rights of LGBTIQ citizens in Hungary as a result of the adopted legal changes in the Hungarian Parliament - The outcome of 22 June hearings under Article 7(1) of the TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. You are pretending, as usual, that this discussion is about tolerance for LGBT people. Meanwhile, as you know, there is less violence against LGBT people in Poland than in your countries. And that's what your statistics show. But you're deliberately lying so people don't know what's really going on. The point is that we think there are two genders. And you think …
