80 years after the end of World War II - freedom, democracy and security as the heritage of Europe (debate)

Watch

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 a…

PL Question

80 years after the end of World War II - freedom, democracy and security as the heritage of Europe (debate)

Watch

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?…

A revamped long-term budget for the Union in a changing world (debate)

Watch

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…

Health care related tourism: protecting EU patients abroad (debate)

Watch

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 direct…

The importance of trans-European transport infrastructure in times of stalling economic growth and major threats to Europe’s security (debate)

Watch

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 Eur…

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.

European Schools Alliance: potential to achieve the European education area by driving innovation, enhancing mobility and championing inclusivity (debate)

Watch

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. …

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, b…

Social and employment aspects of restructuring processes: the need to protect jobs and workers’ rights (debate)

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'…

Action Plan for the Automotive Industry (debate)

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 Gener…

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…

Cross-border recognition of civil status documents of same-sex couples and their children within the territory of the EU (debate)

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 …

Competitiveness Compass (debate)

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 Uni…

Mr President, thank you very much. Madam President, thank you. On behalf of the ECR, I would like to say very clearly that this document, which Parliament has prepared, is better than the documents of previous years. As the ECR, we believe that the European Central Bank should primarily take into account the basic economic parameters of individual countries. Then his interventions will be more bel…

Major interpellations (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. I wanted to speak to pay tribute to 21-year-old Mateusz Sitek. A Polish soldier, a 21-year-old soldier, was killed by bandits on the Polish-Belarusian border. Killed, murdered. And I want to say this here, because when we Poles defended the border of the European Union, when Putin and Lukashenko pushed refugees into Poland by conducting a hybrid war, you had a gr…

Addressing EU demographic challenges: towards the implementation of the 2023 Demography Toolbox (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. This is a very important debate, but it is a pity that we spend so little time in the European Parliament in general talking in support of traditional families. It is also a pity that much is being said here in Parliament, but also in the European institutions, simply about the promotion of abortion. It's all very inconsistent what we're doing. I think that in fi…

Madam President, thank you very much. I will take this opportunity to listen to this very interesting debate to thank the Polish Commissioner for Agriculture, Janusz Wojciechowski, for what he has done on animal welfare. His successes in this area are undisputed and I hope that every Commissioner will have similar successes and develop these issues of animal welfare and carbon farming. We have alr…

Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

Watch

You have mentioned Putin's name many times in your speech. It is good that we are talking today about TikTok's bad influence on decisions in general. And what were you doing when there was an agreement between Putin, Russia and Germany on Nord Stream? When this agreement was concluded in 2005, it was then that the war against Ukraine began. Where were you with your political team at the time? I wa…

Madam President, thank you very much. The ombudsman! Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. In 2023, the work of the European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, was extremely important. As in previous years, especially in the context of transparency and accountability of the EU institutions.

Need to adopt an ambitious international legally binding agreement on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment

Mr President, thank you very much. This is a really important debate, an important problem. I totally agree that we need to talk about this. Plastic has not always existed, the explosion of popularity of plastic occurred somewhere in the 50s of the last century and since then plastic has taken various forms and is used in our social, private, industrial life on various scales. And on an ever-incre…

Rise of energy prices and fighting energy poverty (debate)

Watch

I listened very much to your speech. You always take an unambiguous position, so I know who I ask about energy, about energy prices. I would therefore like to ask you about what Business Europe, a European think tank, wrote, which said that if the European Union pursues its climate goals unhindered, if we all support these goals, then in 2050 the price of energy in the European Union will be 3 tim…

Critical infrastructure vulnerabilities and hybrid threats in the Baltic Sea (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. We are crying here today that Russia is attacking, that China is attacking. For two decades, the European Parliament, the European Union, worked with Putin, providing him with money, buying cheap hydrocarbons. Now, in recent years, the European Union has been cooperating with China. European Union countries provide money to China, because 97% of photovoltaic p…

I listened very carefully to your speech. You mentioned President Trump twice in your speech. You represent the largest group in the European Parliament, the EPP.

EU-US relations in light of the outcome of the US presidential elections (debate)

Watch

For a socialist, you have presented enough, I would say, a rational approach in the discussion with the United States in relation to Donald Trump. You have heard that Trump has announced that he will build nuclear power, that he will look for gas and coal, he will drill. Now here's my question: Our Commissioner-designate is very clear: we will stick to the ETS2, that is, we will introduce new taxe…
