An EU health workforce crisis plan: sustainability of healthcare systems and employment and working conditions in the healthcare sector (debate)

Watch

Mr President, demanding work in the health sector, not particularly well-paid and demanding in terms of training and stress. This is accompanied by the so-called free movement of labour, i.e. movement from countries where low wage levels are carefully maintained to high-wage countries. Poorer countries fund the education of health workers, who then go to richer countries. This is accompanied by po…

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

Watch

Madam President, it is an audacity for the EU institutions and their representatives to take the word of democracy, that is, the government of the people, while they do not respect the interests of the people of individual countries, which must submit to manipulations that fundamentally distort democratic competition, if they support citizen spying and censorship, and, on the other hand, if they f…

Reviewing the ETS system to support European competitiveness (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, declining competitiveness is, in the long term, the main problem of the European Union, which is threatened by a deep decline that has already begun. It has a long range of causes. Most of them belong to the cluster of conditions for business. In addition to the declining number of skilled workers in the necessary structure, overregulation and burden of administrative burdens, the…

Presentation of the Fertilisers Action Plan (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I understand the concern about the availability of fertilisers, which is essential for food security. Livestock fertilisers are available in insufficient quantities under pressure to reduce cattle farming. The production of artificial fertilizers depends on the price of energy, and this has been increased by anti-Russian sanctions and imports of expensive liquefied gas. This has l…

EU governance under pressure – institutional responses to global challenges (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the question has been asked: What can the EU administration do under the pressure of global challenges? How is he supposed to react? It's a sign of helplessness. If we go to the root of the problem, it is clear that in the governance structure, unless this structure changes – and it cannot change because it is encoded in the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning …

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the housing crisis, including the rise of homelessness, has a number of causes and points to the failure of European Union policy. Housing makes European Union priorities such as ETS2, emission allowances, the boomerang of anti-Russian sanctions, high administrative burdens, etc. The so-called European Affordable Housing Plan will not solve the problem. It defines objectives while…

Urgent actions to revive EU competitiveness, deepen the EU Single Market and reduce the cost of living - from the Draghi report to reality (debate)

Watch

Madam President, lagging behind the countries of the European Union is an open secret. It's nice that someone tries to analyze the problem, but if they overlook the elephant in the room, it's a futile effort. The one thing that makes the most sense is Green Deal with all its consequences. It is understood as an inviolable dogma. Green Deal He's not the only one. Another problem is the focus on unp…

Framework for strengthening the availability and security of supply of critical medicinal products as well as the availability of, and accessibility of, medicinal products of common interest (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the fundamental question is whether healthcare should serve citizens or corporations that abuse the information supremacy of the sick, exploit their fear, ignorance and monopoly position. Current practice shows that the interests of citizens are not at stake. The instrument of change must be a pricing policy that must not be in the hands of monopolies. The state must clearly dicta…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)

Watch

Russia is clearly an aggressor. It is questionable how long it took for the aggression to be provoked by the attacks on the Russian population in eastern Ukraine. This is absolutely unequivocal. So if you don't understand this, I don't know what else to talk about. You are preparing for war, and I am afraid you will succeed, and Eastern Europe will be the battlefield. In principle, we want to avoi…

Watch

I'm almost embarrassed to answer such a naive question. It is necessary to ask the question: How would Russia benefit from the continuation of the war? Would he want more territory if he had such a huge territory? Other resources when it's so rich in resources? Or would it want to achieve self-destruction by another war confrontation? These are just completely nonsensical ideas. So, on the contrar…

Madam President, since the Maidan coup and the establishment of the current regime, most EU institutions and governments have supported Ukraine's self-destruction. From the beginning, it was clear that Ukraine, even with the massive support of the US and the governments of the countries of the European Union, could not militarily defeat Russia. It turned out that Russia failed to break up with war…

Stepping up funding for Ukraine’s reconstruction and defence: the use of Russian frozen assets (debate)

Watch

My dear colleague, part of the agreement was also that Ukraine would be a neutral country. This was clearly violated. I do not agree that the response to such violations should be military intervention. But on the other hand, it is necessary to ask what possibilities exist for accepting the situation so that a settlement can be reached. Nothing like that happened. All the support of European Union…

Stepping up funding for Ukraine’s reconstruction and defence: the use of Russian frozen assets (debate)

Madam President, Ukraine was supposed to be a neutral country under an international agreement, its neutrality was respected by Russia. After the color coup on Maidan, the new government rejected neutrality, and NATO sought to adopt it, and NATO military facilities in Ukraine began to be built. After the Russian intervention, the Minsk agreements and the Istanbul agreements were ignored. Ukraine i…

Madam President, security is indivisible. The condition of peace is the provision of security guarantees for all. A party to the conflict whose security guarantees will not be assured will necessarily feel threatened and act accordingly. Such a situation is a guarantee of the continuation of the conflict. I'm afraid that's exactly the point. Peace, which only one side recognizes as just, is not pe…

Mr President, I read online that, under the pressure of the Soviet occupation of Germany in April 1945, a prominent Austrian painter committed suicide. This is a funny exaggeration, as history is being rewritten in the European Union today. It's worse than it was in socialist countries 40 years ago. At that time, the liberation of 10% of the territory of Czechoslovakia by the U.S. Army with 300 ca…

Collaboration between conservatives and far right as a threat for competitiveness in the EU (topical debate)

Not only the threat, but the real cause of the inability to compete is the majority of this Parliament and the European Commission, which have pushed Green Deal and anti-Russian sanctions.
