Urgent need for a coordinated European response and legislative framework on intrusive spyware, based on the PEGA inquiry committee recommendations (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. PiS has committed many serious crimes against Polish democracy. The Pegasus affair, or fighting the opposition with anti-terrorist weapons, is one of the darkest examples. The rights of specific people have been trampled upon, Senator Brejza, Prosecutor Wrzosek, their families and many others. We mustn't let this go. This is what the peop…

Effectiveness of the EU sanctions on Russia (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. It is very good that the EU imposes further sanctions on Russia. Closing EU ports for Putin's ships, freezing the assets of Russian oligarchs. But could a common European response be more painful for the Kremlin? Of course, it could, if not for the main brake – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. It is he who is blocking €500 million in EU aid to Ukraine. He was the …

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. A stronger and more integrated European Union is a deadly threat to the Kremlin.

That is why Putin and his supporters in Europe have devised a strategy to scare the world of European v…
