Temporary derogation from certain provisions of the ePrivacy Directive to combat online child sexual abuse (vote)

Madam President, in accordance with Rule 68(4), I want to ask, on behalf of The Left Group in the European Parliament, a final rejection vote with a roll‑call vote. Because I think, and we collectively think, that this mass‑surveillance system deserves proper democratic oversight. That is why we ask for a final rejection vote on the matter.…

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 18-19 June 2026 (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, Europe is literally burning. Older people suffocate in EHPADs, children suffocate at school, hospitals overheat literally and figuratively, morgues overflow, crops are threatened, forests go up in smoke … And what is your answer to the European Commission? Putting the fight against climate change on hold. We had to dare, because the heatwave, whatever we say, is not …

EU-US trade deal (joint debate)

Thanks for your question. It is quite interesting that the EPP all of the sudden cares about European workers. You do not care so much about European workers when it is about killing our protection for European workers. When it comes to SMEs and companies, do you really think that a 50 % rate for European products that enter the US market, versus 0 % for American products to enter the EU market, w…

Order of business

Madam President, our request was to add another debate, not to replace. I must say that the 'one in, one out' principle not only gathered a wide support in the last Conference of Presidents, but I want to recall Rule 164: 'at the beginning of each part-session, Parliament shall adopt its agenda. A committee, a political group or at least one tenth of the Members may propose one amendment to the fi…

Question Time with the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy - EU’s strategy to address the current crises in the Middle East

Ms Kallas, you say that you have no leverage over Israel, yet you said a little earlier that you talk to the Israelis every day and every day. I note that the word of the Palestinians does not count. And I would also point out that because of your inability to mobilise the Member States, you did not have the same indulgence when it came to taking sanctions, rightly, against Vladimir Putin’s Russia…

And last week, you announced sanctions. So we were like, finally, there will be sanctions against Netanyahu, who is the subject of an arre…

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

Mr President, a drink is not acceptable. Silence is not consenting. Smiling is not consenting. Sleeping by his side is not consenting. Taking off your clothes or being in a relationship is not necessarily consenting either. Ceding is not consenting. How many women have ever been in this situation? Because the problem is that, in most European states, the law on sexual violence does not recognize t…

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

Mr. Speaker, I am quite surprised because, usually, at the National Rally, you like to talk about zero impunity for all offenders. But, strangely, as soon as it comes to rapists and aggressors in terms of gender-based and sexual violence, there, you no longer take impunity zero; If not, sometimes you even go so far as to copy and paste your racist ideologies when men all have one thing in common: …

European Citizens’ Initiative 'Ban on conversion practices in the European Union' (debate)

Madam President, being LGBTI is not a disease. Yet which gay, lesbian or trans person hasn't already heard from their loved ones or family "it'll pass you, you'll heal"? Like it's a choice, like it's a fashion, like it's a disease. But one does not heal from one's sexual orientation or gender, because it is an integral part of one's identity. To deny this is to deny the very exi…

Officially, the European Semester serves to ensure the balance of public finances, but each time you look collectively on the same side.

Madam President, I would like to make a point of order based on Rule 10, concerning the code of conduct for Members of Parliament. This morning the ECR Group – only men, of course – showed a banner with a foetus and an anti-abortion slogan on it, 'It's a life, not a choice'.
