Presentation of the programme of activities of the Irish Presidency (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Dear Prime Minister, First of all, I would like to thank the Prime Minister very much for presenting his vision for the Irish Presidency. Indeed, a lot of important challenges and we keep our fingers crossed for these goals to be achieved. Security is undoubtedly the most important issue for the European Union today, for all of us. On the other hand, I wanted to focus m…

EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The European Union has made many mistakes by introducing too many regulations that have paralyzed the European economy and industry.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to draw conclusions from what has happened and it is not possible at the moment to bring about such a situat…

Topical debate requested by a political group (PfE) (Rule 169) - Commission interference in democratic process and elections (topical debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. The problem with this liberal-left majority in this House is that for you, democracy means only what you think is right, and you are fighting against all other views and unfortunately you are wrong. You took away Daniel Obajtek's immunity yesterday for opposing the desecration of values important to Christians, while you tolerate the scams and all sorts of scanda…

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The ETS has destroyed the European economy.

This is happening at a time when the ETS has been in place for a long time and you want to deepen it even further. Soon, people will no longer have a chance to pay for electricity, …

Four years of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and European contributions to a just peace and sustained security for Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. In 2008, the late President Lech Kaczyński, the President of Poland, sent a message to the world and Europe. In this message, he warned that now is the time for Georgia, and then it will be the time for Ukraine. And that time has come. For years, however, EU leaders have preferred to furnish the Kremlin with billions for oil and gas, build the illusion of a reset, and b…
