One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Mr President, on 26 September 2022, the energy supply – and therefore the competitiveness of European industries – was under attack by a foreign power, which sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines. Josep Borrell said: “A deliberate disruption of Europe’s energy infrastructure is totally unacceptable and will be met with a strong response.” Such a hostile attack on the economic security and independence of the peoples of Europe must not go unnoticed. Joe Biden had announced that there would be no Nord Stream in case of war in Ukraine. The US journalist Seymour Hersh, Pulitzer Prize winner, has clearly accused the US in his investigation of this sabotage, because the attack on Nord Stream is actually sabotage, sabotage of the European energy market in times of conflict. In short, it is an act of war. Our Parliament must urgently launch a committee of inquiry into this hostile act and cannot back down from the breaking of the truth, even if it is inconvenient. Our so-called best ally may actually be our worst competitor.
