ES Speech

Foreign interference in all democratic processes in the EU (debate)

Watch

Madam President, regimes like Putin's Russia or Maduro's Venezuela attack our nations and infiltrate our system: From the financing of Podemos to the Kremlin's contacts with the separatists in Catalonia. But also foreign interference are the lobbies who want to cancel our culture, our religion and our way of life, and those who have made us hostage to Russian or Algerian gas with their insane ener…

Droughts and other extreme weather phenomena on the Iberian Peninsula and other parts of Europe (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Spain has been facing the driest year for seventeen years: reservoirs are below 40% of their capacity and in places such as the Guadalquivir basin, below 30%. As of April 1, several areas of Spain, such as the Campo de Gibraltar, announce restrictions on drinking water consumption and farmers face a devastating panorama, coupled with rising production costs and the entry of non-EU pr…

Harmonised EU approach to travel measures (debate)

Watch

Mr President, on 1 July the so-called COVID passport came into force, with the promise that it would only serve to facilitate travel between Member States. The tourism sector welcomed this decision that could save the summer season. But soon this instrument became a nightmare. In a nightmare because Member States like Spain, together with the Commission, have used it to curtail rights and freedoms…

ES Speech

The Rule of Law and the consequences of the ECJ ruling (debate)

Watch

Madam President, seriously, ladies and gentlemen, can any of you tell me which principles of the rule of law are violated in Hungary or Poland and not in Spain, Germany or France? Is the right to life of the unborn not Europe? Is it not Europe to protect the innocence of children and prevent sexual indoctrination in schools? Is it not Europe to promote one's own birth and strengthen the spiritual …

ES Speech

Digital Services Act (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, there is no limit to the voracity of the Commission and Parliament. Today they bring us a so-called "Digital Services Act", but it is that the European Union does not pass laws. Even in the name of the rules they want to usurp the competence of the Member States. We are talking about a rule that recognizes putting its verification agencies throughout Europe, those censorship bodies t…

ES Speech

MeToo and harassment – the consequences for the EU institutions (debate)

Watch

Mr President, it is increasingly difficult to take this House seriously, every issue we take, no matter how serious it is, the left always comes and the consensus progresses and ends up turning it into a meme, always the same pattern: locate a problem – or invent it for them –, wrap it in ideology, turn it into a weapon of confrontation, forget the reality of the problem and end up taking everythi…

ES Speech

The European Commission Guidelines on inclusive language (topical debate)

Watch

Mr. President, I have a question: At what point did they decide to dynamite everything, at what point did they go mad and put themselves at the service of evil and decided to make the Union the executing arm of anything that destroys what is valuable? Today we have to talk about this proposal of the European Commission by which we can no longer talk about "happy Christmas" but "happy holidays": It…

ES Speech

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 16-17 December 2021 - The EU's response to the global resurgence of Covid-19 and the new emerging Covid variants (debate)

Watch

Mr. President, this document accredits me as a Spaniard, and as a Spaniard it grants me some rights that the Constitution of Spain has recognized: freedom of movement or freedom to work. It was said at this headquarters that we would return to normal with vaccination, and millions of doses were purchased; whereas the EU Digital COVID Certificate was to facilitate travel, travel and tourism between…

ES Speech

European Year of Youth 2022 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, young people of Europe, do you understand why this Parliament is telling you that you have no right to what they had? You have no right to work and must accept a massive and disorderly immigration that saturates welfare states; you do not have the right to your national identity and you must accept a multiculturalism that is violently changing the landscape of the cities where your p…

ES Speech

The International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women and the State of play on the ratification of the Istanbul Convention (continuation of debate)

Watch

Mr President, yesterday I was looking for information on how much violence against women has increased or decreased since the Istanbul Convention was adopted: I didn't find anything. I asked the services of the European Parliament, which also have nothing. The European Union allocates billions of euros a year to promote equality, or so it says. We have women's observatories, equality commissions, …

ES Speech

The Right to a Healthy Environment (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, the right to an adequate environment is recognised in the Constitution in most of our countries, and this Parliament has just approved an amendment to the Aarhus Convention on Access to Justice in Environmental Matters. Therefore, the recent United Nations Resolution, which recognizes the right to a healthy environment, would not cease to be a symbolic issu…

ES Speech

The Rule of law crisis in Poland and the primacy of EU law (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, stop this senseless persecution of any country that refuses to sell its sovereignty: Today is Poland, tomorrow Hungary and the day after tomorrow will be anyone who rises to defend the nation. The homeland is the last defense of the humble. It is a shame that this House treats Poland more viciously than Chinese communist tyranny or the narco-dictatorships of the…

Implementation report on the EU Trust Funds and the Facility for Refugees in Turkey (continuation of debate)

Watch

Madam President, European taxpayers have spent billions of euros on development aid or on the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, which is part of the multiannual financial framework, but also through these trust funds, which, moreover, have been much less transparent. What have we won? Turkey, for example, has received more than €4 billion from the Facility for Refugees, or €3.5 billion thro…

ES Speech

The future of EU-US relations (debate)

Watch

Mr President, I thought I had come here to discuss trade relations between the European Union and the United States, but then I read the report and I see that you continue with your usual blah, blah, blah on climate change, resilience, gender ideology and the fight against the far right – curious that you never talk about the far left. Even in a trade agreement they talk about abortion, using that…

ES Speech

United States sanctions and the Rule of law (continuation of debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, any excuse goes to attack governments that do not like Brussels or to put in place mechanisms for monitoring, supervising and sanctioning the Member States. It may be that a national parliament decides to pass laws to protect children's innocence from the activism of gender ideology. It may be that some Member States decide to protect their borders against the massiv…

ES Speech

State of the Union (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Mrs von der Leyen, despite your triumphalist speeches, Europe is in crisis. And this time they can't blame anyone. The price of electricity rises non-stop due to its climate agenda, as it increases the costs of companies and consumers. And you announce a new 55% emission reduction target. The entry of illegal immigrants into Spain breaks historical records. And you announce a new mig…

Breaches of EU law and of the rights of LGBTIQ citizens in Hungary as a result of the adopted legal changes in the Hungarian Parliament - The outcome of 22 June hearings under Article 7(1) of the TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)

Watch

Mr President, any European knows that a homosexual walks more calmly in the streets of Budapest or Warsaw than in Molenbeek, Gaza or Tehran. But you prefer to submit to the lobby's agenda and spend the whole day ranting about Hungary or Poland. How dare they give lessons in democracy to Hungary or Poland? How dare they teach lessons about the rule of law and human rights to those who have fought a…
