10th anniversary of the EU Guidelines on Freedom of Religion or Belief (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. No one should be discriminated against on the basis of their religion, that is obvious. But I want to put myself in a special way behind Christians. In 50 countries, more than 300 million Christians are being persecuted today. Every five minutes a follower of Jesus Christ dies for his faith. This is why, although necessary, these guidelines on the protection of r…

Recommendations for reform of the European Parliament’s rules on transparency, integrity, accountability and anti-corruption (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Transparency, anti-corruption action are values that should in principle be the foundation in the institutions of the European Union, but for years the EU institutions have been dealing with corruption, with vague interests, unfortunately, among Members, officials. Is it effective? Unfortunately, the case of money suitcases…

The water crisis in Europe (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Europe is dying without water. If we really spent 30% of the amount we spent, for example, on projects related to solar panels or windmills on hydrotechnical investments, I think that we would at least be able to stop the drying process in Europe. First of all, water needs super-intensive agriculture. That is why we need to make new investments, es…

Investigation of the use of Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware - Investigation of the use of Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware (draft recommendation) (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. The Pegasus Committee cannot de facto be called a commission of inquiry, so in order to be called a commission of inquiry, it would have to have special powers, like access to classified information. The lack of this access, the inability to see the documents, causes that the applications can be very strongly distorted, to put it mildly. That is why we have here …

Surrogacy in the EU - risks of exploitation and commercialisation (topical debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. The law must be based on moral norms. The law and the enacted law must not violate moral norms. Today there is a lot of talk about freedom, but every freedom is limited by responsibility, especially for another person. That is why it must be said loudly today, here in the European Parliament, that surrogacy is not motherhood, surrogacy is child trafficking. After all, w…

One of the key elements in stopping this pressure is a functioning return system for illegal immigrants. However, this system needs to be urgently amended because the proposals are not being implemented. Almost 124,000 return orders have been issued in recent months alone. The statistics are stagge…
