Managing migration in an effective and holistic way through fostering returns (debate)
Madam President, a radical change of policy is essential in the area of migration. The European Commission and several states such as France want a rapid implementation of the migration pact, making believe that this would protect our countries. This is completely untrue. The migration pact will only accelerate mass immigration. With regard to return to the countries of origin, if Mme von der Leye…

Presentation of the programme of activities of the Hungarian Presidency (debate)
Madam President, Prime Minister, for years you have been defending the fundamental values of sovereignty in a Europe that you, like us, wish to be the Europe of nations and cooperation. In the face of constant adversity, you represent those who refuse to see their country dispossessed of its powers by an ever more centralizing European Union. The electoral thrust of the sovereigntist forces, Mr We…

Signature of acts adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (Rule 81)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to make a point of order on the basis of Rule 10(1) of Parliament's Rules of Procedure. On Monday 30 September, one of our colleagues on the far left of this Chamber was co-organising a conference day with the Femyso association in Parliament in Brussels. This is not the first time that this organization close to the Muslim Brotherhood has engaged in a…

The future of European competitiveness (debate)
Madam President, although asked to do so by the European Commission, Mr Draghi makes an overwhelming observation about the state of competitiveness in Europe: electricity prices are exploding, the energy transition, in its current state, is a failure, technological innovation is stagnating. But what use has been made of the billions invested by the European Union in terms of competitiveness so far…

Order of business
Madam President, the publication of the Draghi report, commissioned by Mrs von der Leyen on the subject of European competitiveness, is postponed until after the elections on 9 June. Why this postponement? Is it because the European Commission and the majority of this Parliament are trembling at the idea of unveiling their fiasco before voters have a say? Remember on 24 February, Mr Draghi himself…

Strengthening European Defence in a volatile geopolitical landscape - Implementation of the common foreign and security policy – annual report 2023 - Implementation of the common security and defence policy – annual report 2023 (joint debate - European security and defence)
Madam President, the European Union is dreaming of a superpower with its own defence in the long term. This is yet another direct attack on the sovereignty of our nations, which cannot be shared with a European sovereignty that exists solely in the ideology of the Eurobedats. The soldier is not ready to die for Europe. The former Chief of Staff of the French army, Pierre de Villiers, stated: One d…

Driving licences (debate)
Madam President, motorists are once again in the crosshairs of the European Commission and environmentalists. This text, put to the vote, will have a direct, dramatic and binding impact on the daily lives of millions of drivers across the European Union. The limitation of the validity of driving licences to 15 years until the age of 70, and every five years thereafter, the obligation to provide a …

Empowering farmers and rural communities - a dialogue towards sustainable and fairly rewarded EU agriculture (debate)
Madam President, the dramatic situation facing our farmers is not the result of fate, but of political choices decided in Brussels and voted on here in Strasbourg. Last example to date: the free trade agreement with Chile voted in committee two weeks ago. Here, the elected macroists vote for free trade agreements. Far beyond the plight of our farmers, stifled by regulations, impoverished by unfair…

The need for unwavering EU support for Ukraine, after two years of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine (debate)
Mr President, while the situation in Ukraine deserves attention, it must not lead to situations detrimental to our own nationals. However, integrating Ukraine into the European Union would be disastrous for our breeders and our farmers, especially in France. I would like to focus on this particular aspect of agriculture. Since the beginning of the conflict, the European Union has given in to all o…

Improving the socio-economic situation of farmers and rural areas, ensuring fair incomes, food security as well as a just transition (debate)
Madam President, farmers have been demonstrating for months to express their anger. I had to speak in this Chamber on Monday so that Parliament could finally take up this subject and take account of this intolerable situation. What hypocrisy, however, in the title of this debate. You say you want to improve the socio-economic situation of farmers and rural areas and guarantee them fair incomes, bu…

Order of business
Madam President, farmers across Europe are making their voices heard. They are protesting en masse because they are suffering. They don't want to disappear. They reject the Green Deal and its procession of obligations and degrowth objectives. The European Union is directly responsible. By imposing environmental standards above ground, by imposing lower yields, by free trade agreements signed with …

The European Elections 2024 (debate)
Madam President, as the European elections approach, some are taking the opportunity to advance their Europeanist agenda. This report is yet another text seeking to give more powers to the European Union and reduce, if not dominate, the influence of the Member States. However, low turnout in previous elections should be a wake-up call. Our citizens would find it easier to go to the polls if they f…

Madam President, a year ago our Parliament was splattered by the 'Qatargate' scandal. On behalf of my group, I had asked for the immediate establishment of a committee of inquiry, which I was refused. While the judicial case is bogged down, it would have been essential to examine in detail the growing influence of lobbyists within the Parliament. Another big scandal is the ‘Pfizergate’, which has …

Threat to rule of law as a consequence of the governmental agreement in Spain (debate)
Mr President, it is not our habit to interfere in the internal affairs of another state. But as there are exceptions to any principle, the plausible risk of a break-up of Spanish national territory is of course the focus of our attention. Difficult to obtain a majority in the Spanish Parliament, the Prime Minister preferred unnatural alliances in order to keep his position and his government. Sad …

EU enlargement policy 2023 (debate)
Madam President, ‘West, do you want to resume the fight between the Cross and the Crescent?’, it is in these extremely serious and provocative words that Turkish President Erdogan recently spoke, threatening the whole of Europe. He is also a loyal supporter of the Hamas terrorist organisation and is receiving some of its cadres at this very moment. The message of the Ottoman Sultan is therefore cl…

Commission Work Programme 2024 (debate)
Madam President, at a time when Israel, France and Belgium have just suffered large-scale Islamist terrorist attacks, at a time when there are major risks of these attacks recurring, the first duty of our institutions should be to combat, by all means, this Islamist ideology, Nazism of the 21st century. So, start by stopping all funding to associations and organisations linked to the madmen of All…

General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2024 - all sections (debate)
Mr President, at a time when Israel, France and Belgium have just suffered Islamist terrorist attacks of unprecedented violence, while we have been alerting since the beginning of our mandate in 2019 to the dangers and ravages of Islamism, I would like to express our indignation at the funding that the Islamic University of Gaza – the Hamas campus – has received from the European Commission.

Madam President, France was once again touched by this attack last Friday, almost three years to the day after the horrific murder and beheading of Samuel Paty. Of course, we associate ourselves with the messages of pain – which we felt deeply – to the families and to all the victims. We have also – indeed – proposed a change to the title of this debate so that the term ‘Islamism’ is clearly indic…

Schengen Borders Code (A9-0280/2023 - Sylvie Guillaume) (vote)
Mr President, at a time when the European Union is becoming increasingly overwhelmed by migration, at a time when more than a dozen Member States of the European Union are calling for funding to protect their territories and peoples against what should be called an organised invasion, this Parliament is preparing to do the opposite by making it almost impossible to control the internal borders of …

The spread of ‘anti-LGBTIQ’ propaganda bills by populist parties and governments in Europe (debate)
I have said and I say again that there is no problem with any kind of discrimination. So, I repeat, it is the law, and there is nothing to add to that. I have dealt mainly with my subject of surrogacy and surrogacy is quite different from what you say, sir. So gestation for others, there is no question of it, one way or another. That's the answer.…

The spread of ‘anti-LGBTIQ’ propaganda bills by populist parties and governments in Europe (debate)
Mr President, the title of this debate is so cartoonish that it is stupid. The answer for us in France is simple. We are totally opposed to any discrimination and our legislation provides for penalties for those who contravene it. The debate is therefore closed. The rest is the ideological fantasy of macronist MPs who put their personal choices before the defence of the general interest. But this …

Signing of acts adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (Rule 79)
Madam President, this point of order is based on Rule 10 of the Rules of Procedure, which provides that Members shall preserve the dignity of Parliament and shall not damage its reputation. Last Thursday, two MEPs from the same far-left political group as Mr Mélenchon in France, and Mrs Aubry here, organised a conference in the European Parliament entitled "Fermer Guantanamo", one of whose speaker…

Iran: one year after the murder of Jina Mahsa Amini (debate)
Mr President, a year ago, young Mahsa Amini died in detention after being arrested by the Iranian morality police for not wearing the veil properly. The young woman's brutal death sparked global outrage and provoked months of protests in Iran against the ruling Islamist regime. Repressed in violence and blood, this just revolt allowed Iranian women to alert the world to their situation. A year lat…
