Defending democracy from foreign interference (debate)

Mr President, for years this Parliament has been acting with impunity against our political group, forcing the discourse of foreign interference without bringing any tangible elements. The only weapons at the disposal of the Glucksmanns and other Loiseaus were to chain the accusations to the limit of defamation, forgetting that, if the voters have been praising our party for fifty years, it is pre…

The European Year of Youth 2022 Legacy (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, your view of the youth of our different nations is completely misguided. This motion for a resolution on the European Year of Youth is therefore an opportunity to recall a few points. You only talk to the youth of the metropolises, the one you represent, wearing the veil, while the Iranian youth are desperate to get rid of them. The one you represent adheres to Woke,…

A post-2020 Global biodiversity framework and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity COP15 (debate)

Mr President, after the failure of COP27 on climate, mainly linked to the exorbitant and above-ground demands of the European Union, the great leaders will meet in Canada for COP15 on biodiversity. As governments redouble their efforts to halt the rapid deterioration of our biodiversity, we learn that a large number of heads of state will not be present in Montreal. Protecting our environment ther…

Prevention, management and better care of diabetes in the EU on the occasion of World Diabetes Day (debate)

Madam President, over the past 30 years, Europe has managed to control the spread of diabetes and the majority of deaths associated with this disease occur due to a diagnosis that is too late. Efforts to democratize prevention tools must therefore never falter. But over the past 30 years, Europe has also done its utmost to develop the causes of diabetes: you have caused a retreat into the service …

UN Climate Change Conference 2022 in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt (COP27) (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, the weeks follow one another and are similar in this Chamber. We are faced with yet another text that once again overwhelms our continent. For you, Europe is not green enough and for you, our citizens are not doing enough. But efforts, our nations have made, the proof of this is: Europe is the most environmentally virtuous continent, far ahead of China or the United Sta…

Sustainable maritime fuels (FuelEU Maritime Initiative) - Deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, while France is paralyzed by the blockages of service stations and shortages, you are now proposing that we put maritime freight and everyday motorists in the same bag. A container ship emits as much sulphur oxide as a million cars. So how can you ask motorists for their efforts as these super-cargos continue to roam the oceans? Sea freight is the armed arm of globaliza…

Key objectives for the CITES CoP19 meeting in Panama (debate)

Madam President, we must of course welcome this text, which makes it possible to put an end to barbaric practices, which still exist in 2022. How long we have waited, to see species die out year after year by putting forward only prevention tools or almost! Hunting trophies that cross customs, trade in protected species, both animal and plant, are scandals that must no longer go unpunished. Crimin…

Consequences of drought, fire, and other extreme weather phenomena: increasing EU's efforts to fight climate change (debate)

Mr President, this summer, France was hit by devastating fires that crippled the local economy during the tourist season. Before being the cause of global warming, these fires are first and foremost the cause of the policies advocated by your camp for years, those that prohibit preventive burns and strategic cuts, for example. What happened in France is a replica of the fires in Australia two year…

Deforestation Regulation (debate)

Mr President, third countries have been competing unfairly for too long by flooding our countries with cheap products made by slaves, it must be said, and with disastrous environmental standards. Result: our industry is suffering, our know-how is being exported and over-consumption is hitting our continent hard as you cheerfully sign free trade treaties, the real gravediggers of our planet. You wa…

Sustainable aviation fuels (ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative) (debate)

Mr President, when do you plan to establish a green transition project that is both environmentally sustainable and bearable for Europeans? This is obviously not the case today, as this draft regulation is purely utopian and schizophrenic. First, only 6% of flights, long-haul flights, generate half of aviation’s CO2 emissions. So why focus only on short-haul flights? There is no logic in this proj…

Question Time (Commission) Increasing EU ambitions on biodiversity ahead of COP 15

Mr President, Commissioner, you therefore find that the religion of free trade is far above the environment in the values of European officials. Can you promise us that no other free trade treaty will be signed? Otherwise, I strongly encourage you to listen to the majority of citizens who are more than fed up with the schizophrenic policy pursued by this Parliament.…

Question Time (Commission) Increasing EU ambitions on biodiversity ahead of COP 15

Mr President, Commissioner, the preservation of biodiversity is essential, both to combat global warming and to safeguard animal species. You say you want to preserve our biodiversity. Either. However, your natural hypocrisy returns to galloping when it comes to signing free trade treaties with the entire world. The latest example is the one concluded on 30 June with New Zealand. Did you know that…

Madam President, the rapporteurs are presenting these three reports of the climate package with great determination today. There is obviously a climate emergency, but what you call a "climate emergency" is actually a will to force acceptance of your ideological project. Rather than proposing a text more favorable to the popular classes, you have locked yourself up to negotiate an even more binding…

Mr President, rapporteur, one last proof of your total disconnection from reality and your radical ethnocentrism was needed: you bring it to us here with these violent standards, which take the motorist, our industries, and therefore the whole European economy in turn, to heart.

Madam President, for years this Parliament has advocated unlimited globalisation, preferring the global to the local and favouring the interests of large groups against the expectations of citizens. All free trade treaties have been signed. All ultra-liberal policies have been deployed. Congratulations, because today is the time for the assessment.

Madam President, the new IPCC report is particularly alarming. It unsurprisingly demonstrates the effects of global warming on our environment and reveals the obvious: it is your policy and the business model you are promoting that is behind it. The degradation of ecosystem biodiversity is such that the situation already seems irreversible, and it aims to intensify as the climate warms. The whole …
