Ensuring sustainable, decent and affordable housing in Europe - encouraging investment, private property and public housing programmes (debate)

Mr President, housing is a problem throughout the European Union, especially for young people. The worst thing is in Slovakia. Young people have the worst availability of independent housing across the European Union. More than half a million adults live with their parents. It's an agony with an uncertain ending. Whether for unattainable mortgages or very expensive rents. Yes, we need to build new apartments, we need to build new housing. Let's start where we are built. There are a number of buildings across the European Union, including in Slovakia, that are unused and could be home. And their renovation, their adaptation, energy efficiency are an opportunity not only to address affordable housing, but also to help tackle the climate crisis. Because housing must be sustainable, so that both rental prices and energy prices are not liquidation. We really need to keep our cities green and create better conditions with this approach. And we can only do it together, as a Union, by helping regions, cities and municipalities.

Droughts and extreme weather events as a threat to local communities and EU agriculture in times of climate change (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, the floods in Central Europe have shown the terribleness of the climate crisis in recent days. But they were just the culmination of a summer of extreme heat. Since mid-June, we have had temperatures above 30 degrees in Slovakia every day. Drought, which destroyed farmers' crops, often deprived them of up to a third of their crops, alternating with extreme rainfall and flash floods, such as in Vyšný Kubín, which destroyed many people's crops. The climate crisis is turning into climate disasters. And every bit we can reduce global warming by will save thousands, if not millions, of lives. But at the same time, we need to start adapting. To adapt our country, our cities, so that we do not continue to do communist concreting of the agricultural landscape, but to do what our ancestors did. They worked with nature. So that our cities and our villages are not concreted, but greened, so that the climatic conditions are much milder. And all this will depend both on the next European Commission and on whether nation states can and will be willing to implement these things.

Your party was governing Poland for many years – eight. How do you explain that you were not able to get through the prevention measures, while you blame it on those who wanted you to uphold the Polish laws?

The attack on climate and nature: far right and conservative attempts to destroy the Green Deal and prevent investment in our future (topical debate)

Mr President, scientists have warned us for years that we are heading for a climate catastrophe, that dozens, hundreds of bee species, other pollinators are disappearing before our eyes. They warn us that babies are born with toxic substances in the blood. And we're not listening, we're talking about it being an ideology, we're saying it's hoaxes, just like we experienced with the corona. We see enormous damage to property and human lives. But if we're not going to do it to protect life, if we're not going to do it to protect property, let's talk about other reasons why we need to do the Green Deal. Because it is an opportunity for people in Europe to be better off, for us to be more independent from fossil fuel imports, and it may be from Putin or the Arab Sheikhs, choose, so that we have more jobs, so that our land does not die before our eyes. What worries me is how we pretend nothing is happening, how we actually say we don't have to do anything anymore. But what I am most at risk of is my colleagues who voted in favour of these measures and now say that they actually voted against.
