The rise of religious intolerance in Europe (debate)

You have talked a lot about the persecution of Jews and Muslims. That's the truth. But it's no secret that the most persecuted religious group are Christians. You didn't say anything about it. And I have a request and a question for you at the same time, because you come from the socialist group: in your group of socialists, here in the European Parliament during this term, there are your colleagu…

Strengthening the security of Europe’s external borders: need for a comprehensive approach and enhanced Frontex support (debate)

In April this year, I tabled an amendment to ensure that border barriers across the European Union, not only in Poland, are financed by the European Union. You voted against this amendment. We are renewing this amendment. We propose to the European Parliament to support this amendment because we all want to be safe. This is not about any particular interests of one country. Will you support such a…

They come without living there. They don't do business there, they're not even farmers. They come in and block it. For years. They do it today, yesterday, …

Outcome of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture (debate)

I have a short question for you because I liked what you said. On the other hand, we see that the ecological environments in each country talk about protected areas, about increasing protected areas. So how to expand this economic activity, natural economic activity, when ecologists simply block the development of normal, traditional, natural, good agriculture?…

The need for the EU's continuous support for Ukraine (debate)

I am speaking in this debate because in the last legislature there were many debates in this chamber of the European Parliament about Ukraine and, unfortunately, very harmful opinions about how Poland and Poles behaved. There were very defamatory words against Polish farmers. I would like to remind you that Polish farmers defended Polish land, Polish food, Polish food security and their own farms.…

There will be money for Ukraine, that is good news, but the analysis of the multiannual financial framework has taught us that we need to be better able to plan, and better spend money, and know what we can, simply, afford.

Improving the socio-economic situation of farmers and rural areas, ensuring fair incomes, food security as well as a just transition (debate)

I just wanted to ask you and ask you to answer, how are European farmers informed about all the policy objectives of the European Union?
