The abduction, forced conversion and child marriage of Maria Shahbaz and the protection of girls in Pakistan

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Maria Shahbaz, a 13-year-old Christian girl, is kidnapped in Pakistan, forced to convert to Islam and finally forced to marry her kidnapper. And, despite the parents' complaint about the kidnapping, what did the judge do? She sent the girl back to live with the man who kidnapped her. A horror in a country where every year about 1,000 girls - many of them Chri…

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, silence, the world is silent while a massacre is taking place in Nigeria: Dozens and dozens of Christians still massacred, every week, in general indifference. In 2025 alone, 3,500 Christians were killed by Islamist hands. These are not numbers: They are whole families exterminated, villages razed to the ground, churches burned with the faithful inside.

Need for an adaptation of the EU legal framework on sustainable biofuels (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, you can write a book: How to destroy the European economy. And you, Commissioner, can perhaps contribute to the drafting of the chapter on the automotive sector. For the first time, the European Union imports more cars from China than it exports: the trade balance between the European Union and China in 2025 is -6 billion – considering that in 2019 it was +23 bi…

Situation of women and girls in Afghanistan following the Taliban's adoption of the Criminal Procedure Code for Courts

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, if an Afghan woman is beaten with a stick by her husband until he breaks her bones, and if the same woman manages to prove before a judge that it was he who tanned her like this, this man risks 15 days in prison. However, if the same man abuses his dog, the penalty is five months, five months against 15 days in prison.

EU strategy in response to the ongoing Middle East crisis, its implications on energy prices and the availability of fertilizers (joint debate)

Puts the turbo: plan to accelerate the Union. And what's inside the piano? Solar panels, social leasing for the diffusion of batteries, in short: more Green Deal.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this is absurd: The European Commission's report on the situation of fundamental rights is the usual unbalanced ideological document, which looks at reality with a single lens: that of the left; But this time the most extreme. Eight points are devoted to migration policies, denouncing alleged obstruction of NGOs and condemning anti-immigration rhetoric. Nothing …
