One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, dear colleagues, under five years of Ursula von der Leyen's mandate, the European Union has become from an area of freedom, one of tyranny, from an area of prosperity, one of poverty. In this plenary, Ursula von der Leyen said in 2019 that the European project is founded on Greek philosophy and Roman law, avoiding mentioning Judeo-Christian values as well. It was the Judeo-Christian …

Return of Romanian national treasure illegally appropriated by Russia (debate)

Madam President, I call for the immediate and unconditional return of Romania's treasury illegally seized by Russia for over a hundred years, together with compensation and up-to-date interest, for the fact that the Romanian nation has not been able to enjoy and use for its own benefit this treasury that rightfully belongs to it. In 1916 and 1917, when more than half of Romania was occupied during…

Working conditions of teachers in the EU (debate)

Mr President, dear colleagues, this debate about teachers is welcome, because school, teachers and students must be put back in the right place in European society. The school must teach students not only how to read, write and reckon, but also how to be good and righteous people in society and how to love their country. Perennial moral values develop by learning the humanities, such as classical …

EU2040 climate target (debate)

I am glad that you asked that question. So you want to convert this debate about climate change into a theological argument. The Bible says that God created the earth and the man, but gave the man the power to work the earth and make a living out of that work. So what you’re proposing right now here is clearly violating God’s command to respect the earth, but to use it. Let me ask you something in…

EU2040 climate target (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, the claim to reduce carbon emissions in the EU by 90% by 2040, including by closing gas and coal power plants, will condemn the European economy to bankruptcy and citizens to poverty and hunger. At school we learned that carbon dioxide is the oxygen of plants, which through the process of photosynthesis absorbs carbon dioxide and removes oxygen, which animals and humans…

Madam President, at the end of this mandate, we are witnessing the desperation of the European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, to have European regulations voted through the European Parliament that effectively transform the EU from an area of freedom into a prison where people are constantly monitored and supervised, so that the government knows both where they are moving and what they a…

International day for the elimination of violence against women (debate)

Mr President, dear colleagues, it is odd to hear left-wing MEPs today pretending to care about violence against women, when in fact they constantly vote to undermine the identity, safety and protection offered to women by the law. There is no bigger threat or form of violence against women than to claim, or even vote, that there is no difference between men and women, or that any man who pretends …

Threat to rule of law as a consequence of the governmental agreement in Spain (debate)

Mr President, what we are witnessing right now in Spain under the leadership of the extreme left-wing communist and socialist government, led by Pedro Sanchez, is the replacement of the rule of law by the Marxists’ rule of chaos, with a purpose to establish a new legal order. To remain in power, Pedro Sanchez clearly prefers, instead of respecting the constitution, to drive Spain into legal chaos …

In 1916, this treasure was moved from Romania to Tsarist Russia, in order to be sheltered until the end of World War I. In 1917, Tsarist Russia fell under the r…
