Binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States (Effort Sharing Regulation) - Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) - Revision of the Market Stability Reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (debate)

Mr President, when a tree is cut down and either burned or made into something, it is replaced by a new tree that binds emissions. A young forest sequestrates more carbon than an old forest. As long as the forest grows more than it is cut down, there should be no problem. This is the situation in Finland. Finland has more forests than ever before. Finland is already a carbon sink. At a time of eco…

The erosion of the rule of law in Greece: the wiretapping scandal and media freedom (topical debate)

Mr President, in July 2022, it was revealed that attempts were made to eavesdrop on the telephone of Nikos Androulakis, MEP of the centre-left PASOK-KINAL party. An attempt was made to install a Predator malware on Androulakis' phone that could record his calls. This led to a huge scandal in Greece. It was suspected that Greek Prime Minister Mitsotákis was wiretapping in order to avoid entering th…

Terrorist threats posed by far-right extremist networks defying the democratic constitutional order (debate)

Thank you for the good question. Of course, we have extremism on both the far right and the far left, and we also have terrorist attacks in the name of religion. In Finland, for example, there has been a terrorist attack specifically in the name of religion, and it was by no means extreme right-wing. Yes, we have a bigger problem with Antifa and terrorism by the extreme left and terrorism in the n…

Terrorist threats posed by far-right extremist networks defying the democratic constitutional order (debate)

Mr President, how do you know that the elections are approaching? At least in Finland, you know that the name begins to be frustrated with racism, because the other person does not change his or her skills. When you can't argue, you name it. Terrorism in all its forms is unacceptable. Ideology is only a fog curtain for its realization. It can be practiced with the support of states, in the name of…

Prospects for the two-State solution for Israel and Palestine (debate)

Mr President, Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. In Israel, women are free and the courts can be trusted. The same cannot be said of the surrounding countries. No country is perfect, but when Israel strikes back, for some incomprehensible reason, the Western media will be on the side of extremist Islamists. Anti-Semitism is also a serious problem in Europe. We have anti-Semitism. The…

This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Slovenia, Robert Golob (debate)

Mr President, Europe is in a serious crisis. Even the war in Ukraine will not stop the Green Democrats and the Red Green Right from making headless decisions. Why not freeze emissions trading? That would be a great way to lower the price of electricity. Finland was driving down the use of peat and now it is lubricating when district heating is expensive. Do you want electricity to be expensive or …

Whitewashing of the anti-European extreme right in the EU (topical debate)

Mr President, if you ask the left—leaning parties, they think that all the other parties are some kind of extreme, which should be excluded and stigmatised. This is how the European Parliament works. It discriminates against my ID Group. Dear friends, referendums and respecting the result is democracy. In Italy, God, family and the nation state won. This may come as a surprise to you, but it is pa…

AccessibleEU Centre in support of accessibility policies in the EU internal market (debate)

Mr President, there is a saying in Finland that damage does not happen at the neck of the clock. None of us are protected from any illness or injury. Some people have limitations in their lives from birth, and it is the duty of a civilized society to ensure that everyone, regardless of their illness or disability, has the right and opportunity to live a full life. There is a way in which the EU wa…

This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin (debate)

Mr President, our Prime Minister, Mr Sanna Marin, Europe will be saved and Europeans will be successful once we get rid of the EU in its present form. There is a saying that good times create weak men and women. Weak men and women have created a shocking criminal gang culture in Sweden through their irresponsible immigration policies, and they do not have the means to make Sweden safe again. Howev…

Objection pursuant to Rule 111(3): Amending the Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and the Taxonomy Disclosures Delegated Act (debate)

Thank you Mr Modig for a good question. It is true that there is a contradiction here, but for Finland nuclear power is so important that we cannot take the risk that it will not receive green money. And the main culprit here, in fact, is precisely the Germans, who want to abandon the three nuclear power plants that they still have. Nuclear power would in particular be safer energy, and taking int…

Objection pursuant to Rule 111(3): Amending the Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and the Taxonomy Disclosures Delegated Act (debate)

Mr President, the ultimate aim of the state is to provide people with security, including access to energy. The European Parliament and the Green Left in general have a strange need to act against the interests of its citizens. In Germany, the heating bill for a single-family house can rise by up to four thousand euros per year. The fact is that nuclear power is the most secure and inexpensive way…

Binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States (Effort Sharing Regulation) - Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) - CO2 emission standards for cars and vans (joint debate – Fit for 55 (part 2))

Mr President, Commissioner, the Council adopted the 2021 Climate Law, which defines removals as up to 225 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2030. However, the Commission is proposing a much more ambitious emission reduction target of 310 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and climate radicals are presenting even more fierce figures. It is known that we are facing an energy crisis and it is aggrav…

Election of the Members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage (debate)

Mr President, the European Union's economic and political elite wants to centralise power at a supranational level and destroy the identities and cultures of the European nation-states. One step towards this goal is a European electoral law. I am astonished that the European elections, which are a collection of national elections, are no longer enough for the EU elite. An EU-wide constituency is b…

Ongoing hearings under Article 7(1) TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)

Mr President, time and time again I wonder why only Poland and Hungary are in the teeth of the EU. Does this mean that there are no problems in other Member States? Naturally, one of the reasons for this is that, quite simply, some Member States only have more power in the EU. Parliament lifted Puigdemont's immunity from prosecution. I do not believe that Parliament would have dismantled immunity …

Mr President, when there is famine in other parts of the world, we are facing a climate emergency. In the face of climate religion, we are called upon to reduce or even give up meat consumption. This means that the number of cows will also decrease. I'm defending the cow. A cow is particularly valuable to humans because it is able to produce food from hay that cannot be eaten by humans.

Mr President, Christian values have been discussed here today. It is good to have spoken, but it has been calculated that by 2050 the majority religion in Sweden would be Islam, so Islam will replace Christian values, at least in Sweden. The problems in Europe have been caused by endless humanitarian and social migration of young men from the Horn of Africa and the Middle East. Denmark is tired of…
