Criminalisation of humanitarian assistance, including search and rescue (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have not gone mad, I ask my colleague because before her someone on the left mentioned Mimmo Lucano, who was probably still here as a model of reception and, since her colleague was talking about reception, I wanted to know her opinion on the condemnation that Mimmo Lucano had and, therefore, also in general to the NGOs that deal with the matter.…

Criminalisation of humanitarian assistance, including search and rescue (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, what is the criminalisation of NGOs? Illegal immigration, not as I say, but as Frontex claims, is facilitated by NGOs that with their activity in the Mediterranean help criminals, smugglers and also increase deaths at sea. Because more departures mean more tragedies. You bore us with good words, but where is European solidarity? Where are the relocations? Think …

Question Time (Commission) - Food price inflation in Europe

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, milk + 14%, eggs + 17%, vegetables + 14%, bread and cereals + 14%, cheese + 12%: These are just some of the price increases in one year of food products in Italy. What does the Commission do in Europe? What is he doing? What does he want to do? The impression is that he is asleep.

Defending democracy from foreign interference (debate)

EU response to the increasing crackdown on protests in Iran (debate)

Yes, because in Iran taking off the veil or kissing your boyfriend in the square are considered subversive gestures and therefore prohibited. What does the European Union do?

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union is increasingly subservient to China. From 2035, in fact, there will be the obligation of the electric car, we will depend on China. The market for electric cars, from batteries to raw materials to rare earths, is in fact a monopoly of the Asian giant.
