General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030 (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this European Union action programme for the environment up to 2030, as well as the and other climate proposals, in this context of crisis and war, now seem totally out of touch. Huge increases in energy prices are hitting household and business bills dramatically, with price increases of up to 500%, forcing many companies even to temporarily suspend producti…

The deterioration of the situation of refugees as a consequence of the Russian aggression against Ukraine (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the flight of millions of women, children and the elderly from Ukraine is a tragedy that deserves the utmost commitment from Europe. We must be focused on welcoming and supporting Ukrainian refugees. According to UNICEF, one million children have already fled in recent weeks. I am thinking of the moving images of solidarity and welcome in Poland and Hungary; The…

The EU priorities for the 66th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (debate)

Watch

Yes, but these documents are produced by the Commission. All right, I'll finish. In recent weeks, the European Commission, at the Conference on the Future of Europe, presented another manifesto entitled "The future is in your hands", with the image of a veiled woman, this one. I don't know if he remembers, he was from the Commission. Yes, I put it away, but it's everywhere. Either you are ashamed …

The EU priorities for the 66th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe must participate by presenting its priorities at the 60th edition of the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Well, let us say that the European institutions have shown that they have an image of women that I think is frankly disgraceful. Let's go in order. In November, the Council of Europe carried out a campaign, fortunately then withdrawn due to the r…

One youth, one Europe (topical debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in accordance with the wishes of the European Union, the European Year of Youth should lead to greater involvement of young people in society, politics and decision-making processes. Apart from the propaganda, however, it is quite clear that Europe is not able to intercept and understand the difficulties of young people. I am thinking, for example, of the growin…

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in the European Union (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this debate is also about women's rights. Well, on New Year's Eve in Milan, my city, twelve girls were assaulted with sexual harassment. Twelve is the number we have today, but complaints are continuing to increase. They have been sexually harassed by over fifty boys of foreign origin, have suffered violence sometimes even for twenty minutes and have been thr…

Violations of fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong

Watch

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, arrests of journalists, imprisonment of political dissidents, violence and clashes in the streets: The situation in Hong Kong is increasingly worrying. China's behavior increasingly poses a global threat to human rights. What is happening in Hong Kong is unacceptable and the European Union's attitude towards the Chinese is unfortunately subdued. China is us…

The proposed Council decision on provisional emergency measures for the external border with Belarus based on article 78(3) TFEU (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, controlling borders and maintaining order are not human rights violations. It is good to say this and at the same time to reiterate that illegal immigration is a crime and not a right. Too often, however, the Commission and the left carry out policies with propaganda that, frankly, is pathetic and promotes illegal migration, the profits of which end up in the po…

Outcome of the COP26 in Glasgow (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Glasgow conference has produced results, let us face it, which are frankly disappointing. Be clear: environmental protection is a top priority, but the ecological challenge must be addressed with pragmatism and seriousness, certainly not with ideology. The green transition, as envisioned by the European Commission, has costs that are often overlooked. The Eu…

Condemning police violence against Romani people in the EU (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, what can I say? This is a surreal discussion. We are here to talk about police brutality against Roma. In order to fuel your goodness you come to attack the police, those who often find themselves operating in difficult contexts, receiving violence, threats and insults. I express my solidarity with the men and women in uniform and I am tired of this absurd at…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in a package of economic recovery measures, the European Commission has financed two Dutch companies with two million euros for the development of meat production in laboratories. It is money that is allocated to the business of test-tube meat, that is, to understand: We finance synthetic meat. It is unacceptable to support companies that sell products obtained …

Pushbacks at the EU's external border (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union's migration policy is a failure. Twelve European countries with right-wing and left-wing governments are calling for an end to illegal immigration by any means necessary, and what does Europe say? He raises his shoulders and continues to do nothing, succumbing to his goodness. There are those who have fought human traffickers, such as the l…

Farm to Fork Strategy (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Farm to Fork programme is dangerous, ideological and inadequate. It is dangerous because it supports tools such as Nutri-score that, without adequate scientific basis, penalizes healthy foods, such as the excellence of "Made in Italy", instead promoting junk foods, damaging the Mediterranean diet, which is a cultural heritage of humanity, fa…

Human rights situation in Myanmar, including the situation of religious and ethnic groups

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the civil rights situation in Myanmar continues to be very bad: More than 1,000 dead, more than 7,000 arbitrary arrests, nearly 6,000 convictions for political crimes, more than 2,000 arrest warrants for fleeing opponents. Unfortunately, in recent attacks there have also been children killed. The rights to freedom of expression and association are not allowed; t…

European Union Agency for Asylum (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as always, Europe is more interested in bringing in immigrants than in defending our borders. You have thought of an Agency to facilitate operational assistance in the management of reception and in the evaluation of applications for international protection, but in this way you risk increasing the bureaucracy and also the costs for the countries of first arriva…

European solutions to the rise of energy prices for businesses and consumers: the role of energy efficiency and renewable energy and the need to tackle energy poverty (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the ideological environmentalism of the European Union produces only disasters. Rising energy prices are, in fact, the result of Europe's foolish policies. It is increasingly evident that Greta's supporters are good ecologists, but with the wallets of others. It is the citizens and consumers who pay the increases in bills and also the increases in product pri…

The case of Ahmadreza Djalali in Iran

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, how long will we endure the repeated violations of human rights by the Islamic Republic of Iran? Iran severely represses the rights of freedom of expression, freedom of association and assembly. Security forces have made illegal use of force to crack down on the protests. The authorities continue to detain hundreds of dissident protesters and simply human rig…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this proposal is an acknowledgement of failure. You have failed in the coordination of European countries, despite the promises of President von der Layen, you have failed in solidarity between states with countries such as Italy, which was denied the availability of ventilators and masks at the beginning of the pandemic; you have failed on contracts with pha…
