What Cristian spoke about.

Madam President, life is the precondition for any human being to possess fundamental rights, because only a human being that is alive has the legal capacity to hold rights and obligations. The representatives of Texans decided that they, as a society and a state, have to protect the ones among them who were not yet born but their hearts started to beat, so they passed the Texas Heartbeat Act. Considering that abortion is a fundamental right, it is simply absurd that the European Parliament is criticising now the Texas legislator for this act that protects the life of the unborn with the heartbeat. Instead of giving money to NGOs in the United States to promote abortion among the most vulnerable communities over there, we should support providing actual choices for mothers-to-be, such as maternity leave, parental leave, flexible working hours, early child care, business literacy, or jobs for single mums, or adoptions. Europe is dying, dear colleagues, and this is a fact. If we really care about the future of Europe, instead of ideologically-empty talks, let’s get together to identify and promote feasible solutions for women to choose life so Europe can have a future.

Mr President, this report is another brick in the social engineering construct intended in the European Union that places Marxist ideology over biology and physiology, which, at the end, would lead to chaos. An important topic like domestic violence or child custody, which affects many couples especially now due to the pandemic, was hijacked by this report and transformed into an ideological weapon that is disregarding the EU Treaties, the solidarity principle and the biology. Firstly, the proposals from this report are violating the EU Treaties, which say that according to the subsidiarity principle, the European Union has no competence for the development of policies related to family, criminal law, education and healthcare. All of these are prerogatives of the sovereign Member States and any intrusion of the institutions into these prerogatives is undermining the foundation of the European Union. The report fails to identify and propose real solutions for women and their children faced with domestic violence, but proposes instead redefining norms and terms which lead to more confusion. A woman and her children that are abused do not need a redefinition of terms, but concrete measures to protect and safeguard them – measures which are not mentioned in this report. In conclusion, Parliament proved once again that the social engineering construct intended to redefine and redesign the European Union is more important than providing concrete solutions to real problems in the European Union, like child abuse and domestic violence.

Mr President, dear colleagues, we have heard here, in this House, now that it is being said that these vaccine contracts are being classified, in order to protect the interests of companies. But I ask you: But who protects the interests and rights of the citizens of the European Union? EU citizens have the right to know the price of these vaccines and, in particular, the contractual clauses on who is responsible for the adverse side effects of these vaccines. When the Digital Green Certificate was discussed, Commissioner Reynders Didier said in this plenary and I quote: “the effects of vaccines are not yet fully known”. Is it right, then, for European bureaucrats or politicians to expose European citizens to risks and negative effects of vaccines that are not yet fully known, and for citizens not to know who is actually responding, if there are such adverse side effects? Pfizer, for example, changed its leaflet and acknowledged that its vaccine can cause myocarditis and pericarditis, especially among young people. It is unfair, therefore, to make the digital green certificate conditional on EU citizens exercising their rights on the basis of an injection of such a medical product, the side effects of which are not yet fully known. Beyond the lack of transparency about these vaccines, there is another problem: For months, it has been publicly stated that these vaccines are the only solution to end the coronavirus pandemic. But we see countries with the highest vaccination rate have the highest infection rate in the world, which contradicts all the rhetoric we've been told for months. The EU has today come from an area of freedom, where the fundamental rights of everyone, everyone, are respected and protected, a camp where the exercise of fundamental rights is a matter of obtaining a green certificate. This certificate is issued on the basis of receipt of this vaccine which does not stop the vaccinated person from becoming ill or spreading the disease, or on the basis of an artificial test, which gives very large errors. This is not the first time in history that Europe and the world have been in a pandemic. However, this is the first time that the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms is conditioned by medical products that do not stop the spread of the virus that generated this pandemic. I ask you not to lose sight of the fact that Europe was conceived as a space of freedom. That is why you have an obligation to respect and protect the rights of all and not to create a Europe where people are discriminated against or segregated according to whether or not they receive a vaccine whose effects are not yet fully known.

Madam President, I say to President von der Leyen: in 2019 as a candidate for the office you are holding right now, you said in this plenary, and I quote: ‘the foundation of our European civilisation is Greek philosophy and Roman law’. What you did not mention in that speech is the fundamental role that Christianity, and implicitly the Judeo-Christian values, had in developing the European civilisation. Based on these Christian values and the belief that all human beings are created in the image of God, the fundamental and inalienable rights were developed which later were specified in treaties and conventions, as well as national constitutions and laws. Reducing the European civilisation only to Greek philosophy and Roman law and ignoring the Judeo-Christian values you will find arguments for inequality and slavery, as there was in ancient Greece, and tyranny, as there was in ancient Rome. Under your leadership unfortunately, the European Union became from an area of freedom, a concentration camp in which people cannot travel, eat in restaurants or go to movies unless they have a green certificate. I urge you, therefore, to promote and defend in the European Union the Christian heritage and values based on which we are all created by God, equal and born free.
