One youth, one Europe (topical debate)

Mr President, the success of tomorrow's Europe depends on the success of today's youth. Every young person in Europe must have a chance to make their dreams come true. Every young person in Europe must have a chance to shape their surroundings and Europe itself. We cannot set the future of Europe without those who will be at the forefront of it in a few years. We need to learn from the past and no…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, I am concerned that the Slovak Smer party, under the banner of social democracy in Europe, continues to be part of the Social-Democrat family here in the European Parliament. He spreads shameless lies and, moreover, basically cooperates with fascists who deny the Holocaust or celebrate the birthday of the fascist president from Slovakia during World War II, i.e. Jozef Tiso. In the…

European Year of Youth 2022 (debate)

Madam President, like many, young people today live in uncertainty and fear, whether for their health or the health of their loved ones. They are afraid of the future, wondering what direction to take, whether they will be able to apply, find a job, secure housing. Young people today live in an online space that has its pitfalls. Today we have no idea how this will affect them. Many of the young p…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, one of the main principles of the rule of law is to create the conditions for a dignified life for every citizen of the European Union, without distinction. Often the problem is not in the money, but in the politicians who manage this money. In my country, we have already had a second programming period and we have enough money to improve the living conditions of the poorest citiz…

Condemning police violence against Romani people in the EU (debate)

Madam President, in the rule of law, respect for human rights or fair and dignified treatment of man is a principle to be followed by all. In Europe, we have been discussing the adequacy of police interventions for a long time. I will mention the cases I have dealt with recently. The case of abused boys from the police station in Košice, Slovakia, where police forced Roma boys to undress and then …

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, colleagues, the spread of lies, disinformation and hoaxes on the internet, especially on social networks, is a world-changing threat. Social networks are no longer just about making contacts, spreading information, or even having fun. Half-truths, lies that spread at incredible speed around the world, destabilize society and cause chaos. Social media, on the one hand, also produce…

EU sports policy: assessment and possible ways forward (debate)

Madam President, friends, let me begin by thanking Tomaszowi Frankowski for his adventurous work for this report. Ladies and gentlemen, today we are witnessing how the lack of support for poor children in sport is deepening the elitism of rich families, rich, rich children. Sport is becoming increasingly expensive and, unfortunately, an inaccessible affair for poor children. Unfortunately, I have …

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President. A few weeks ago, I met in person with the head of the European Anti-Fraud and Corruption Office, Ville Itälä Mitetelov. Slovakia is a small country and is lagging far behind in the absorption of EU funds. However, when it comes to the misuse of EU funds, especially during the times of former SMER governments, Slovakia excelled. This is evidenced by another dubious case from the days …

The rise of right-wing extremism and racism in Europe (in light of recent events in Rome) (debate)

Madam President, I understand that some Europeans, after a year of pandemics that have limited our lives, are being asked to voice their opposition to the regulations adopted by individual governments. However, we cannot allow their anger to overshadow their eyes and believe in fascists and populists. The extremists are now doing the same thing Hitler once did. They feed on misfortunes and tell pe…
