Speeches

Sir, sir, sir, sir! Former annexation of Crimea – sanctions announced by the European Union. Putin then seized Crimea, with the European Union announcing sanctions. We now have the 18th package of sanctions. The European Union is pleased to announce sanctions. Mr. Macron called Mr. Putin and told him: Don't attack Ukraine. He laughed at those who spoke of the threat. The Belgians were worried about the trade in diamonds and did not impose sanctions because they were worried about the trade in diamonds, expensive stones. Antwerp lived by trade, not the problem of Ukraine. Is your crying and your colleagues from your party justified today? Shouldn't you hit your chest that you did much, much too little and too late?

You come from a group of greens. You're probably familiar with environmental details. So I wanted to ask you, because we have such information that Brazil uses about 4,000 pesticides to produce food. In view of this information, do you support the agreement between the European Union and Mercosur? Do you like the fact that companies that produce pesticides on the European market and cannot sell them to the European Union sell them to Brazil? Do you support such an agreement and such food that is produced with the help of chemicals?

We are both working in the Committee on Budgets and we are also aware of the situation in ECON. Here some of our colleagues said that the right is to blame for everything, that all this misfortune is related to capital markets, to the lack of a banking union, a European Banking Union. The right is to blame. After all, we know that it is not true that Spanish banks, Italian banks, Greek banks have granted a huge amount of bad loans. Nearly a trillion euros are in bad loans. And my question to you: After all, it is Germany that is blocking the creation of the next stages of the European Banking Union, because they do not want to repay bad loans. Would you agree with me?

Madam President, I'm sorry. We were pleased to hear that more than 1.2 million Europeans supported the European Citizens' Initiative. This initiative stems from the firm conviction that the European Union is very strong when it is diverse not only in terms of peoples and languages, but also in terms of regions – regions, their cultures and socio-economic specificities. The principle of territorial cohesion is enshrined in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. However, regional disparities remain significant: economic inequalities, population decline, depopulation, limited access to public services or the erosion of local cultures threaten the cohesion and unity of our common European project. This initiative calls on the Commission to take concrete steps to make regional policy more effective in promoting equality between regions, in particular those facing structural difficulties, in particular by guaranteeing fair access to EU funds for all regions, especially those with specific cultural, geographical or economic challenges, recognising and protecting regional identities and regional cultural traditions as living elements of the cultural and social heritage of the European fabric. It also promotes the sustainable development and self-sufficiency of regions by supporting local economies and demographic recovery. Strengthening regional governance and citizens' participation in shaping financial development projects and strategies in the European Union. This initiative is not aimed at separation or division. On the contrary, it is about strengthening unity through justice, enabling all parts of Europe to develop and make a significant contribution to our common future. This initiative calls for equality, not uniformity in EU policies. And cohesion policy should reflect the colourful mosaic of the European Union.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Madam Minister, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Unfortunately, it will only get worse and there is nothing to wait for. It will be worse, because the European Commission has already contracted the European Union into a debt abyss and wants to incur more debts. The multiannual financial framework will lose value, it will actually lose value. There will be less money for the Common Agricultural Policy. I will not be mistaken if I say that it will be 20% less than it is. Regions will be blackmailed. It bodes very badly in the future. Regions will receive money if they implement reforms. This is a fatal solution. You can't do that. People in the regions will be less important. And then, of course, there's the debt: €300 billion will be charged to the new Multiannual Financial Framework, and this new budget will be much smaller in real terms. Fat years of life on credit will unfortunately turn into lean years and these lean years will result in further unrest if we do not cancel the European Commission, which simply works very badly and against the solidarity of the European Union.

Mr President, thank you very much. I want to assure you all that everything that happened in the meeting of the Committee on Petitions has been very transparent, in accordance with the rules of procedure of the European Parliament, in accordance with the rules of procedure of each committee. Everyone has had the opportunity to discuss the content of this resolution, and the content of the resolution is not the private property of anyone. Only MEPs from the Committee on Petitions are the authors of this resolution. And today I ask that we simply vote immediately in favour of this resolution, because the victims of communism in Slovenia cannot lie in plastic bags, only their remains and ashes must be dignifiedly buried and respected. If you do not respect Christian values, look at Sophocles' Antigone, and there you will learn how respect and respect for every body was taught in antiquity. I therefore believe that we simply need to vote in favour of this resolution, because this is the faith of our humanitarianism.

Madam President, I'm sorry. I am neither an extreme rightist nor an extreme leftist. I'm just a conservative. Conservatives have a calm look at everything that is happening around us. We like wise farmers, wise beekeepers, wise scientists, those who are also practitioners, who can bring their experience to the assessment of any situation. And here I would like to draw your attention to the great inconsistency of the European Union. Namely, if today we open the market in the European Union for products from South America, let us remember that there are cleared forests, there are destroyed meadows, where there are pollinator habitats. And that's where the pollinators are going to die. There will be an increase in pesticides. And we will say that we have food from South America as part of a deal with Merkosur. This is a big mistake and I think that all environments should pay attention to it as well. Let's listen to smart farmers, smart beekeepers. Life will be better.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr President, thank you very much. A great experiment for borrowed money called the National Reconstruction Plan failed. The European Commission staged a spectacle for those she liked, gave money to those she didn't like, didn't give money. Today, it can be seen that the reconstruction programme has led to considerable indebtedness of the European Union and has not restored the competitiveness of the European Union vis-à-vis the United States or China. I think that the European Public Prosecutor's Office should also check the activities of the European Commission, why have some countries not been given money? What about Poland? Donald Tusk's government boasts that it has unblocked the National Recovery Plan, that there is money. What to brag about here, that the MEPs from Poland voted in favour of the resolutions in order not to give local governments, investors, companies money for roads? What's there to brag about? That the European Commission has withheld funding for hospitals in Poland? That the patients were hurt because of this? What's there to brag about? That the European Commission has not given money to modernise the power grids and we have more expensive electricity? What's there to brag about? All that is wrong with Recovery in the trash. You can't do that. The Union must be a Europe of homelands, nations and solidarity.

Mr President, thank you very much. It is well known that wealth comes from austerity and wise legislation. That's what we're missing. We have too much regulation. Unfortunately, we have to get away from this as soon as possible. Doctrinal killing of coal, gas, nuclear energy and placing only on the green order drags European Union companies into the abyss. These companies – as we can see – are fleeing from the European Union to the United States, to China and elsewhere. This has to be stopped. Companies are value. Business people are a value of the European Union. Well, of course, energy, expensive energy also depresses and is a huge burden for functioning in the European Union. In my opinion, it is also a great mistake for the European Union to break relations with the United States. There's nothing to be offended by. You just have to rely on the best technology. And these latest technologies have, among others, the United States. We have to work together wisely.

I listened very carefully to your statement. I wanted to tell you a story in 20 seconds and I'll ask you a question at the end. It's 1944. Jasło, my city where I live, is under German occupation. Walter Gentz, the German mayor, gives the order: Displace tens of thousands of people. The second order: mint all of Jasło. The third order: steal all of Jasło's money. Everything they stole, wrote down and transported in over a thousand wagons. We know everything – we know where these things went, to which German cities. And the question: Do you think that the Germans should return these things or at least pay compensation for burning, demolishing and robbing the city of Jasło?

I listened very carefully to your speech, very emotional, and I have a short question: Do you think that the Germans have already repaired the damage they did during World War II to Poles, Jews, Roma and other nations? Are the Germans all right about this? Do you think that they could still repair the wrongs that lie dormant in the hearts of the wronged nations?

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. It seems to us that this document is not brave enough for the very difficult times we are dealing with. First and foremost, we need to make spending more realistic. Save where you can. For example, gender budgeting is not the first need. Staying in the Green Deal is an economic error killing entrepreneurship, leading companies to flee the European Union to other continents. Decarbonization, such doctrinal decarbonization is also a mistake. Coal and gas have natural origins. They are a source of energy. Coal and gas power plants in the U.S. are nearly zero-emission. And wind farms, photovoltaics are becoming more and more expensive, because rare metals are becoming more and more expensive, because energy is becoming more and more expensive. And there's an endless problem with that. Own resources are also a difficult problem, because many say that it would be good to have more than 1 percent. But who wants to pay? Well, there are not too many willing to pay to the budget and to increase this size. So here's a little chatty talk. So what's proposed? Another debt. And this, in my opinion, is a monstrous mistake, a cardinal mistake of the European Union, when we say, even with noble goals, that we will incur a common debt for defence, for security. But we already know that the European Commission has broken up with the European Parliament, that it rules itself, that it does not listen to the European Parliament and can sometimes blackmail individual countries and say, and we will help these countries in case of an accident, and we will not help them. And that's what we're very afraid of. So let's give more power to the nation states in the European Union. The EU will be better and the budget will be better.

Mr President, thank you very much. The situation is very complicated in the area of health care and we are talking about extremely sensitive issues related to health saving - treatment. I don't know if we can regulate everything and we shouldn't regulate everything. Even today, in Parliament's session, we have voted on several deregulatory issues in the European Union, and that is the right direction. We should move towards deregulation in the European Union, a larger free market, not overregulation. It seems to me that, in the area of health care, the first important thing is to inform the citizens of the European Union well about what they are allowed and what they are not allowed and what they cannot obtain within the European Union as citizens when they are in other countries. This is the first information to keep them safe. At the moment, however, we have an additional problem in the European Union. When Trump introduced tariffs, also on the European Union, let us remember that a lot of medicines, a lot of medicine manufacturers from the European Union exported medicines to the United States. And here we should make sure that the manufacturers of medicines in the European Union have good or safe conditions for the production of these medicines, which are simply necessary for the inhabitants of the European Union.

Mr President, thank you very much. My question is about what you did not say, because you mentioned very important roads, very important railways, and you did not say anything about waterways. I know that the Germans have a very good experience in this matter. Would you be able to convince, help convince the environment of people and organisations that block the development of waterways in the European Union? Because I think that this is one of the cheapest transports and a very important transport during the war.

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. I want to say very clearly that this proposal is better, which Mr Halicki has prepared, than in previous years. We are looking at the reality of the European economy and you can see a major change here, which we are happy about. We are glad that our ECR amendments have been taken on board, because we always say here, whoever represents the ECR, that we need to support the common agricultural policy, direct payments, young farmers, because this is our future. Small and medium-sized enterprises are included, and this is also our important position. We support the Erasmus+ fund because young people should have the opportunity to learn. And, of course, we also support everything that is happening in the area of transport and energy, this aspect is simply included here. We also support infrastructural solutions. In this case, let me remind you that for the third time we are now proposing an amendment concerning fences, fences, It used to be fences, now there are barriers at the border, but this is taken into account, it must be said, these physical barriers at the border are taken into account, so we are also pleased, because Europe must first of all be safe, so we also see this situation. Certainly, it is also important to notice housing issues, housing difficulties and reflect this in the budget. And of course, although we do not support, we do not support a common European army, it is known, but all the actions that are contained in this document, in our opinion, deserve support and I will vote in this way. So I think that simply all these provisions, also related to the defence mechanism, to what is related to civil protection, because we also have disasters in the European Union, are reflected in the budget, so this deserves our attention and support.

Mr President, thank you very much. We have terrible results in primary education. We have terrible results from universities. In the first 30 universities of the world there is only one university, one technical university, Munich, from Europe, from the European Union. We're losing. But this is because left-liberal trends make boys dress up as girls and girls as boys in kindergartens and schools. This is the first task of some teachers. Children are given books with naked men and women. They are simply taught hedonistic behaviors to which children have not grown up, their intellect is destroyed. We need to go back to normal developmental psychology. Many psychologists know how to teach children. And many excellent teachers know how to teach children. You just have to give them a chance, give them better wages. And wara, and from afar let's move experimenters and experiments away from the nature of children.

I listened very carefully to your speech and I know that you are familiar with it. And I have a request, not just a question, but a request, because I am looking for very retail information on the cost of building an average wind farm in Europe. How much gravel, cement, water, metal, precious metals do you need? How much does it all cost? And I can't find it anywhere. Can you tell me the source, because I would like to compare. Because you talked about the great costs and prices of gas, and I can't find, as I talk to voters, what are the costs of building a wind farm? Please let me know.

You have mentioned many companies that are dismissing people in the European Union at the moment. Why did you not mention that the government from which you come, the government of Donald Tusk, at the moment does not care about state-owned companies at all? Ten thousand redundancies announced in the Polish Post Office, several thousand redundancies in the State Treasury company PKP Cargo. Why don't you mention it, you're just talking about a private business that's slowing down? Why do you not want to admit that in Poland we have a terrible problem with the functioning of...

I wanted to ask you because I listened carefully to what you said, namely that the automotive industry should receive financial support. Please indicate to me the sources of this financial support, in a situation where there is a lack of EUR 800 billion for the security of the European Union, when there is a lack of EUR 30 billion for the repayment of the debt of the European Union after New Generation from 1 January 2028, when everyone here says that green industry needs to be supported. Please indicate to me the budgetary financial support for this industry.

I wanted to ask you because I listened very carefully to what you said. What did you mean when you said that transatlantic ties were broken? Who broke those ties? Who's breaking up? Who is responsible for breaking these transatlantic ties? And the second thing: Once we have the money, let's assume it will be. Do you allow us to buy the latest weapons technology in the United States with this money?

I have a question for the Honourable Member. I do not understand the lament that the Honourable Member presents here with his partner. For over a year you have ruled Poland - your formation with Donald Tusk. You have ruled Poland for 14 months. You have the majority, you can change the law in Poland as you want and you cannot do it. Well, why don't you tell me why? In addition, the European Union is a legal organisation – Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union makes it very clear that competences not conferred on others are national competences. So here, too, you have a majority in this Parliament, you can do whatever you want and you don't do it. So in short, I am for the natural law, I have a slightly different opinion than you, but do not complain to Kaczyński, to the Right, that you are a minority, because you are ...

You just said that we on the right don't understand everything. So I wanted to ask you a question. A few hours ago, the European Commission said that from January 1, 2028, the annual budget of the European Union will lack EUR 30 billion to repay the debt. That's my question: Are you in favour of maintaining ETS2 and maintaining the carbon tax, which is supposed to be the income of the European Union, i.e. to continue the mistake that is already a genetic mistake of this term?
