Findings and recommendations of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Dear Commissioner, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would very much like to support this report because it contains a number of very accurate diagnoses, especially those concerning Russian influence and interference, Chinese or Belarusian influence on what is happening and on democratic processes in the European Union. I'd like to support them, but I can't. We have experience in…

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. And today we are witnessing that we are becoming less and less competitive. 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)

Watch

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…

Energy security, independence and supply in the geopolitical context - ensuring market stability and affordable energy for industry and citizens (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The ETS has destroyed the European economy. More companies go bankrupt, people lose their jobs, production is moved outside the European Union. 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, …

Guidelines for the 2027 budget - Section III (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, Ladies and Gentlemen, We have an emergency situation because we are in wartime. And today there is no more important issue for Europe than security, so surely the priority that will be in this budget for all of us applicants is these issues. But security is also an economy, it is competitiveness, it is jobs. And we cannot replicate the mistakes…

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

Watch

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…

European Council meeting (joint debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, Dear Mr President, First there was the Green Deal, which destroyed the European economy. It has made our economy virtually uncompetitive. Businesses are fleeing abroad and need to seek rescue. The German industry, the automotive industry, pressed on Ms Ursula von der Leyen, put pressure on her and Ms Ursula von der Leyen, beyond the rules that …

Mr President, thank you very much. Dear Commissioner, Ladies and Gentlemen, Today we are faced with an initiative that, under the slogan of defending democracy against manipulation and hybrid attacks, actually threatens its foundations. For what is the most doubtful element of this Commission proposal that raises such associations and doubts? It's about interfering in elections. You say that you w…

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, There is a time of war and today, for Europeans, for Europe, for all of us, security is the most important thing. This budget does not adequately reflect this priority. Competitiveness, the economy – this is what we talk about in virtually every debate. It should also be noted that this needs support, but people …

Madam President, I'm sorry. From what we have heard from President von der Leyen, unfortunately, there is no picture to solve the problems of the European Union and to guarantee the European Union that it will be competitive, safe and develop. I am sorry to say this because, for several years now, the President has been giving the same speech, in which she draws a very attractive vision of the dev…

Ladies and Gentlemen, Representatives of liberal and left-wing groups, including the Greens of course, complain that they cannot achieve the right goal of competitiveness because of the conservative groups that are supposed to block these wonderful ideas of yours for the development of the electric car industry.

Madam President, I'm sorry. We have been talking for many years about how much we want to defeat Putin. And we're still in the same place, and we're even going backwards. He is becoming more insolent and ruthless. Why is that? Because we are not united in our purpose. And there is still a belief, among many parties, among many countries, among politicians, that it is possible to get along with Put…

Madam President, I'm sorry. Dear Commissioner, Ladies and Gentlemen, I listened very carefully to what the Commissioner said. And these are fundamental to democracy and, I believe, also to the European Union. Freedom of speech, defence against foreign influences are today really those matters, those values that are threatened in the European Union. We know this perfectly well and – also observing …

But it was supposed to happen much earlier, because this sluggishness also spurred all sorts of speculation that perhaps it was a return to the principle. Business as usual with Russia.

This is the biggest problem in Europe right now and we need to wake up. Finally, we need to reflect and learn from history. Today, Europe needs a strong economy, a strong industry. This road, which was adopted a few years ago, leads nowhere. That is what this discussion is about today. You are preparing a plan to correct what you yourself have broken. And there will be more debates, more plans, an…

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. Mr. Minister, I'm sorry. I regret to say that this plan is, unfortunately, worthless. Why is that? This is because it ignores the most serious reason that has contributed to the collapse of European industry, including the steel industry, namely the Green Deal. You are pretending that it is not the Green Deal and th…

Ladies and Gentlemen, if anyone thinks today, as I said in this previous debate, that Europe can afford to leave the alliance with the United States, that it can afford to leave NATO, it is profoundly wrong. And it is those who say and think so who act according to what Putin wants. Europe needs to think about its own energy security. We have sufficient resources to guarantee this security. We nee…
