Joint debate - Discharge 2024 (joint debate)

Mr President, dear colleagues, I urge you to vote against the discharge of the European Economic and Social Committee so we can look in CONT into the recently uncovered fraud, abuse and conflict of interest allegations involving the EESC Secretary‑General, Isabelle Le Galo Flores. The European media is already talking about this for the past two days. We received recently a letter from a group of …

Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034 (debate)

Mr President, dear colleagues, the new proposal on the Multiannual Financial Framework raises an extremely serious problem for the future of the European Union ‑ turning European funds into a political-ideological instrument, through the so-called rule of law conditionality. No one disputes the importance of the rule of law. However, the lack of clear, transparent and objective evaluation criteria…

Madam President, the Georgian Christian nation suffered in March 2026 a profound and painful loss: the passing of its spiritual leader, His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II, the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia. In an era of trials and spiritual drought, he became the living embodiment of faith, courage and paternal love. Becoming Patriarch in 1977, during Soviet darkness, he furiously revived th…

Protection of the European Union’s financial interests – combating fraud – annual report 2024 (debate)

(the beginning of the intervention was not done on the microphone)... fraud or corruption – abuse of power and lack of transparency. If we talk about the fraud of European funds, we cannot ignore the huge fraud caused by the European Commission, both as a result of the abuse of power and the lack of transparency. An example: in 2021, the European Commission signed contracts to procure 4.6 billion …

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

Mr President, the notion of rape must encompass not only the use of force, but also the lack of consent of the victim. The resolution, however, is full of references to gender identity, which, according to the neo-Marxist social construct theory of the Istanbul Convention, holds that a man who claims to be a woman must, within the meaning of the law, be recognized as a woman. Such a provision is a…

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

I love debates, too! You are claiming that we should move away from so‑called legal jargon. But laws are defined in two words: objective realities. You just claimed right now – an outrageous claim – that men are violating women. But I'm asking you to please clarify, what is a woman? Because people in your group are claiming that a man who pretends to be a woman should, in the eyes of your law, be …

Global Gateway – past impacts and future orientation (A10-0045/2026 - Chloé Ridel, Hildegard Bentele)

Madam President, I voted in favour of the Global Gateway report out of geopolitical realism. In order to count globally, the EU must abandon its role as an actor, which only regulates and teaches others, and invest in infrastructure. While the EU was teaching different countries how to regulate that men can give birth, China was Belt and Road Initiative, invested billions of euro…

Combating corruption (A9-0048/2024 - Raquel García Hermida-Van Der Walle)

Madam President, I voted against the Anti-Corruption Directive because it violates fundamental European values that have made the EU different from the Soviet Union in the past. 1. The Directive falls within the competences of the Member States, in breach of national sovereignty and the principle of subsidiarity. 2. Certain crimes are defined vaguely or even absurdly, which creates serious ris…

Madam President, I support the report on the scope of deposit protection, because it really strengthens the protection of European citizens' cash deposits and the stability of the financial system. In an economic context of uncertainty, it is essential that depositors trust their savings in banks and that they are safe. Deposit guarantee schemes already provide protection of up to €…

Madam President, carbon emissions must have a price that will change our behaviour. Ursula von der Leyen said that in this Parliament in 2019 to secure the presidency of the European Commission. Seven years later, Europeans are paying that price every single day in higher energy bills, rising poverty, closing factories and many lost jobs. The Green Deal – that absurd policy sold as Europe's chance…
