This is Europe - Debate with the President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis (debate)

Watch

Madam President, in order to solve global problems, we must first solve those at home, in each country.

The grievances of Romanians are more and more numerous and are related to everyday living. Now we see the grievances of farmers and transporters, but th…

Medicine shortages and strategic healthcare autonomy in the EU (debate)

Watch

Mr President, I want all patients in Romania to benefit from cheap medicines and we are on a minefield. More than 3,000 essential medicines have disappeared from pharmacies and many of them are life-saving essentials, and this is the first time that amoxicillin and paracetamol have not been available in Europe. Accessibility means availability and price. My approach today is related to a European …

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, it is incredible and inexcusable that the vote of this House does not matter. I voted twice in this House for Romania's accession to Schengen and a vote elsewhere made things take a different direction. These things need to be changed. Honorable Commission, honourable Council, I want Romanians to no longer be considered second-class European citizens and Romania to be considered a…

The impact of the war against Ukraine on women (debate)

Madam President, thank you, I have a more difficult name to pronounce. Rape means violence and violence in times of war means war crime.

It's official. We're on a minefield. The desire to extend the digital green certificate by one year brings us precisely to this minefield because there was no medical or epidemiological logic in establishing such an approach, but only an instrument that destroyed both society, the economy, and even the health system. I'm just reminding you that the vaccine can get infected and transmit the disease…
