Intergenerational fairness in Europe on the occasion of the International Day of Older Persons (debate)

Watch

Madam Speaker, the elderly are by far the most likely to commit suicide. The older the age, the greater the risk. The suicide rate for those over 85 is twice that of the average population. While youth suicide legitimately challenges us, shocks us and immediately calls into question how we think about our policies and visions for the future, the suicides of the elderly are forgotten. So don't lie …

Devastating wildfires in Southern Europe: the need to strengthen EU aid to restore the massive loss of forests and enhancing EU preparedness (debate)

Watch

Mr President, this summer, 16,000 hectares went up in smoke in Aude, France. Farmers and winegrowers have lost everything: their land, their crops, their tools of work. The fruit of a life reduced to ashes. Still, the vine and clearing are the best Canadairs, no offense to the bobo left, who thinks that nature can self-regulate. To this anarchy in the maintenance of nature was added another, equal…

Post-2027 Common Agricultural Policy (debate)

Madam President, as draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on the Environment on the future CAP, I am delighted to have been able to vote to end this unhealthy competition between agriculture and the defence of our environment. For us, the line is clear: defend our farmers, our breeders, our terroirs, and guarantee their future in the face of foreign competition that tramples on our unique and …

Combating the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and child sexual abuse material and replacing Council Framework Decision 2004/68/JHA (recast) (debate)

Watch

Madam President, every human group rises morally when it politically organizes the protection of the smallest and weakest. Europe can therefore be proud today of having worked to its greatness by caring for its children, especially those who have had the misfortune of experiencing sexual predation. Equipping our police forces and our courts, which have to take care of the victims and confront thei…

The European Water Resilience Strategy (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the European Union claims to want to improve water management, but it does so from above, by multiplying standards, rigid objectives and bureaucratic constraints. It is not a reform, it is a recentralisation. However, optimism may be in order. The European election has reshuffled the cards and the decreasing religion of the left has lost followers in our midst. The deletion of any…

Madam President, on 19 March, Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul and the main opponent of President Erdoğan in the 2028 presidential election, was arrested on the delusional grounds that he would run a criminal organisation. Despite this, Mr Erdoğan will continue to be Mr Erdoğan’s partner.me von der Leyen, who will continue to send him European money. But why would anyone be outraged here? On …

Roadmap for Women`s Rights (debate)

Watch

Your question is so outrageous that it makes you laugh more than anything else. In this case, I have no problem; I think that indeed we are very privileged in this European Parliament. This trial is very unwelcome, given that I have been a woman named Marine Le Pen for years, who may become the first woman President of the Republic in France. This is therefore quite unwelcome on your part. I think…

Roadmap for Women`s Rights (debate)

Watch

Mr President, as we celebrate women's rights in Europe and around the world, this figure fell yesterday in France: the number of victims of sexual violence in transport has increased by 86% in ten years in Île-de-France. To speak only of populations of interest to the left, 90% of migrant women crossing the Mediterranean are victims of rape, according to a UN report last November. In a world where…

Escalation of gang violence in Sweden and strengthening the fight against organised crime (debate)

Watch

I am somewhat confused by your political response, which is therefore to invest in schools, which is an educational reality, but which will in no way stop imported violence. Because I think we are talking about one of the countries where the level of investment and care for the growth of children is important – this is the case, I think, in Sweden. In this case, all the figures speak for themselve…

Escalation of gang violence in Sweden and strengthening the fight against organised crime (debate)

Madam President, Sweden, once one of the safest countries in Europe, is now ravaged by the violence of immigrant gangs. In 2023, Sweden recorded 363 count-related shootings, resulting in 53 deaths. The rate of homicides by firearms is four per million inhabitants, compared to an average of 1.6 in Europe. No other country on the European continent has seen such a dizzying rise. Criminal violence, s…

Cryptocurrencies - need for global standards (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the rise of cryptocurrencies is a major challenge for our States and for the European Union. These alternative systems, often outside the control of central banks, must not compromise a fundamental principle: the monetary sovereignty of nations. Money is an indispensable sovereign attribute to ensure economic stability and protect our citizens. Yet, while Europe is questioning its…

Mr President, at the end of the COP16 on desertification held in Riyadh, 12 billion have been secured by 2030 to improve land, ten of which come from the Islamic Development Bank. In an international gathering, petromonarchies came to the rescue of sand deserts, deserts where sometimes ski slopes are built, despite all environmental and economic concerns. Here, once again, is the demonstration tha…

Heat record year 2024 - the need for climate action to fight global warming (debate)

Mr President, to date, the so-called ‘environmental solutions’, mainly supported by the left, which is more prophetic than scientific, have had as their only options only degrowth or greenwashing, disastrous solutions to bring down temperatures. Their failure on the issue of energy, with their ill-advised anti-nuclear stance, which requires the use of wind – and therefore gas and coal – should hav…

Recommendation to the Council on the EU priorities for the 69th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women - EU priorities for the 69th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (joint debate - EU priorities for the upcoming session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women)

Watch

I don't know the Hungarian figures, so I could hardly comment on them. The reality is that violence has been imported. In fact, mass immigration penalises migrant women as much as European women. And so it is this phenomenon that undermines the security of women, regardless of the profile of migrants. I don't speak with a wet finger. That is the reality. And besides, I gave you the figures: 90% of…

Watch

Mr President, when it comes to women’s rights, you refuse to see elephants in the European room. First, mass immigration has given rise to hitherto unknown threats, such as excision or wearing the burqa. The International Organization for Migration notes that almost 90% of migrant women are raped by smugglers or other migrants. Secondly, within Western countries, the claim of many men to call them…

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to cross Europe's borders to see the harassment of women politicians. My party has one of the most harassed and threatened women politicians in Europe as a candidate for President of France. Marine Le Pen is constantly harassed: about her family, about her ideas, about the media, about enraged people on social media who hate her or threaten her …

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we no longer have time. No, we no longer have time to wait to protect children in the European Union. Every year in Europe, around 250,000 children disappear. Disappearances often facilitated by the migration crisis. In 2020, Europol reported the disappearance of nearly 10,000 unaccompanied migrant children, vulnerable to criminal networks specialising in hum…

Mr President, after the COP in the oil empire, here is the COP in the gas empire.

Abuse of new technologies to manipulate and radicalise young people through hate speech and antidemocratic discourse (debate)

Madam Speaker, young people between the ages of 13 and 19 spend on average more than five hours a day in front of a screen. For some, this is the only way to socialise, and it can lead to violence – against oneself or against others. But instead of fighting against the abandonment of our young people to the virtual, the European Commission prefers to tackle the tools that are Telegram or X to hind…

Yes, the wolf is in the sheepfold. One example is the Islamist entrism of the Muslim Brotherhood and its satellite, the Femyso, which is regularly hosted by the European Commission. Another example is the United States, which…
