Outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (COP28) (debate)

Mr President, the signals from the climate conference speak very clearly. Three times more green renewables, twice as much energy efficiency by 2030. Countries all over the world agree on this. We are finally hearing about how we need to get rid of fossil fuels. This is despite the really strong resistance of OPEC countries, countries that export oil and gas, which are earning from the destruction of the climate. It took a long time, but it's there. Now is the time to act. It is time to seize this opportunity, both for Europe and for developing countries, to be able to develop green energies, to create new jobs, not only to help the climate, but also to help our own security, to get rid of our dependence on fossil fuel imports, to get rid of the high energy prices caused by this dependence, to give the opportunity to develop small and medium-sized enterprises of innovative firms, to give energy back to people. This COP was also exceptional in that the European Union was able to stick very strongly together and that the European Union was in the majority, that we were on the side of the future of life, on the side of the future of our planet, together with most other countries. Most countries want to protect the climate. Now we just need to act.

Planned dissolution of key anti-corruption structures in Slovakia and its implications on the Rule of Law (continuation of debate)

Madam President, the rule of law is breaking down in Slovakia. Prime Minister Fico is pushing the Mafia package through parliament very quickly. He ignores the recommendations of the European Commission, which he himself came to Brussels to ask. Twenty thousand people went to squares all over Slovakia. They called for a halt to the dismantling of democracy. More than 70,000 citizens have signed two petitions against interference in justice, but for Fico they are enemies or agents. Journalists, opposition and non-governmental organizations. He despises his own people. Even for a moment, he does not consider properly discussing the mafia package and listening to criticism. He prefers to make everyone an enemy of Slovakia and its interests. But the truth is, Mr. Fico, much easier. The national interest of Slovakia is not corruption, but its suppression. The betrayal is not the defense of justice, but its dismantling. Europe, this Parliament, is our home. Therefore, our real nation is a strong and fair Slovakia in the European Union.

EU strategy to assist young people facing the housing and cost of living crisis (topical debate)

Mr President, housing is becoming an almost impossible target for young people in Europe. Therefore, many of them remain living with their parents without the possibility of becoming independent or starting a family. Living and housing costs have jumped in recent years due to the impact of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and subsequent inflation. It is precisely because of double-digit inflation that the possibility of obtaining adequate housing, for example by renting or buying through a mortgage, has been taken away from most young people in European countries. It is awful to read that, in order to buy a simple 75 square meter apartment, a young average earner in his 30s or 30s would have to postpone his entire monthly salary – in Bratislava for almost 24 years and in Prague for 25. With rising rents and property prices, housing has become unaffordable for millions of young people, regardless of their social status. Therefore, we need to think about what future we want to offer them. I believe in a future in which independent living is once again an achievable goal for all young Europeans to be given the same opportunity to have their home as their previous generations, including mine.
