PL Speech

The devastating floods in Spain, the urgent need to support the victims, to improve preparedness and to fight the climate crisis (debate)

Watch

Madam President, thank you very much. What we say here is important, but even more important is how we act. But what do we have? We have already exhausted the Solidarity Fund for this year. A month ago in Strasbourg, we voted on financial aid for the floods of last year. For next year 2025, we have a little more than EUR 1 billion in the budget for the Solidarity Fund. We can't do that. Flooding, …

PL Speech

Presentation of the Court of Auditors' annual report 2023 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. We knew it was bad, but today, thanks to this report (a very good report), we know it is worse. And this is a very small consolation for us. This is because we have errors in the spending of money by the European Commission. The allowed percentage of 2% has been exceeded and these errors are 6%. This is a scandal, you might say. If we ran the house like this with…

PL Question

Tackling the steel crisis: boosting competitive and sustainable European steel and maintaining quality jobs (debate)

Watch

I would like to ask you a question because I listened carefully to what you said. In 2012, the European Union had a surplus of 16 million tonnes of steel. In 2024, the European Union has a 10 million tons steel deficit. All along, you Socialists have been with the governments of the European Union. Please give the reasons for this deficit in steel production in the European Union, because it was y…

PL Speech

General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2025 – all sections (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, thank you very much. Parliament has reached a good budgetary compromise – the one that is possible. In this compromise, we have all taken care of security, because we have already talked about this security at the borders, about support for Frontex. I will also stress that this is very important in terms of promoting food security, so there is suppo…

PL Question

Empowering the Single Market to deliver a sustainable future and prosperity for all EU citizens (debate)

Watch

I have a question for you. The European Court of Auditors announced a week ago that the European Union is indebted to 543 billion euros. Mr Draghi says that the EU should take on more loans - about 800 billion euros a year. I would like to ask you what do you think about this debt of the European Union? Where does it come from? What are the reasons for this debt? And isn't it sometimes the Green D…

PL Speech

Consequences of the devastating forest fires in the Amazon and the importance of the Amazon for climate change (debate)

Watch

Madam President, thank you very much. I won't say anything big or new, but I will say what has already been said here: But let's hit our own breasts. All those who have said that it is a big mistake to shut down agricultural production in the European Union and to establish close contacts with Mercosur – as has been done for the last 20 years in the European Union – are to blame. When farmers, far…

PL Question

The rise of religious intolerance in Europe (debate)

Watch

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…

PL Question

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

Watch

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…

2024

PL Question

The devastating floods in Central and Eastern Europe, the loss of lives and the EU’s preparedness to act on such disasters exacerbated by climate change (debate)

Watch

You are so sorry to hear about these billions of losses. I would like to ask you what you will say to your colleagues from the group of Greens who come to Podkarpacie to the town of Kąty, Myscowa and block the construction of a water reservoir. 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, …

2024

PL Question

Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Watch

I have a question for you, because after the occupation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, France was trading with Russia. Did you criticize your president, your government for that?

16 Sep

2024

PL Question

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

Watch

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?…

2024

PL Speech

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

Watch

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.…

PL Speech

Guidelines for the 2025 Budget - Section III (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. We are debating at a time when there is great concern in the European Union. Voters are asking why companies are fleeing the European Union, why farmers are protesting, why jobs are shrinking, why people do not have the money to pay their electricity and heat bills, why there is less security in the European Union, and it is expected …

PL Speech

Multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027 - Establishing the Ukraine Facility - Establishing the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (‘STEP’) (joint debate - multiannual financial framework revision)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. 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. We as Poles, as ECR against Putin, but no one listened to us. Inflation could also have been predicted, because …

PL Question

Working conditions of teachers in the EU (debate)

Watch

I listened carefully to your comments. I am also a teacher by profession. Education reform is underway in Poland. As we talk about the educational space, we are talking both about teachers, about the quality of teachers' work, about those requirements that teachers must meet, but we are also talking about the quality of requirements. And I would like to ask if you would like such a solution, which…

PL Question

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

Watch

I have the honour to ask you a question as a farmer. It is a rare situation in the European Parliament to be able to ask a question to a person directly oriented in the field of agriculture. 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? Isn't there such a thing that farmers, whom we all respect and should re…

2023

PL Speech

Ensuring proper functioning of EU-Ukraine Solidarity Lanes (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. In this debate, I see very harmful opinions towards Poland. I completely disagree with what Mr Kubilius said, blaming Poland for the fact that Polish carriers are blocking the border. That's not the case. Poland was, is and will continue to be in solidarity with Ukraine. And no one else helped Ukraine and the people of Ukraine like Poles, Poland and Poles. Howeve…

PL Speech

2024 budgetary procedure: Joint text (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Madam President, I'm sorry. Thank you very much for your vote. We will be constructive as ECR because, among other things, our amendments on transport, on young farmers, on military mobility have been included. We did what was actually possible, so we will try to support this budget. But we also stress this problem related to the revi…

PL Question

Proposals of the European Parliament for the amendment of the Treaties (debate)

Watch

This is the 11th time Orban's name has been mentioned. You say all the time that Hungary, Poland, Poland, Hungary, Hungary, Poland are to blame for everything. Poland, as a country, has proposed a tenth package of sanctions to limit trade in diamonds with Russia. Putin earns about $300 million a year by trading diamonds with Russia. Who is blocking the diamond trade with Russia? Orban, huh? No, I …

PL Speech

General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2024 - all sections (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The ECR supports many amendments, all the more so as our amendments have been partially accepted. These include amendments on young farmers, an increase in the budget, as well as an increase in the amounts for financing military mobility and defence research. But it was wrong that there were increased funds for frontline countries tha…

2023

PL Speech

Establishing the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (‘STEP’) (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Of course, we support all these activities related to the STEP platform, because since it is in the United States, if we want to compete with China, we must allocate funds to the market that will help compete with these innovation tycoons. So we're all for it. However, we are very interested in this issue related to aid for countries with lower GDP. We are very worried …

2023

PL Speech

Establishing the Ukraine Facility (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. I live near the border with Ukraine and I know very well what drama is taking place there. Sometimes I hear planes flying over Ukraine and landing in Rzeszów to help Ukraine. And, of course, we support all those actions that are aimed at helping Ukraine. We see Ukraine in the European Union in the future. It's obvious to me. However, …

2023

PL Question

Need for a speedy adoption of the asylum and migration package (debate)

Watch

Thank you, Damian, for accepting the question. I have this remark: You pay great attention to the right and blame the right for all that is wrong. On the other hand, probably your socialist colleague, a minister of the Danish government a few days ago, said that the European Union needs to be surrounded by a high fence. Why don't you comment on what he said, but keep talking about the right, who i…

2023

PL Question

Corrupt large-scale sale of Schengen visas (debate)

Watch

I listened diligently to your statement and wanted to ask, and I look forward to a short answer: Yes or no, because the first visa investigation was implemented by the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau in July 2022. In March this year, seven people were charged in the case, three people are still in custody today regarding visas. How can you say that there is some inaction in Poland when it comes to …

2023

PL Question

European Media Freedom Act (debate)

Watch

Sir, you're accusing the right of having its own media. Don't you think it would be appropriate here in the European Parliament to rank all the capitals and media owners in the European Union? Why am I asking? Because in Poland more than 50% of the press is in the hands of German capital, and about 70% of television in Poland is foreign capital. So my question is this: Do you not think that we sho…
