Speeches

Mr President, while the person responsible for 27% of global emissions – China – is planning new coal-fired power plants, you are still discussing how to pass on to Europeans the sacrifices imposed by their globalist agenda. Its climate fanaticism is responsible for Europe's dependence on third powers. It is the system you created to benefit renewables that has brought about those benefits. Socialist governments, such as Spain's, earn extraordinary income at the expense of VAT, shedding the middle and working classes. They ask for sacrifices from everyone, but they are not willing to take on any. They want to lower the climate bill, a drastic reduction in the political spending of all institutions. Return to families and businesses the VAT that the States have obtained in an extraordinary way, in the same way as the benefits of electricity. Stop your plan to drown businesses with new taxes, burdens, regulations and penalties. They are so hypocritical that, yesterday, new sanctions were called for polluting European companies. Increase energy production using all known sources. Put an end to speculative trading of CO2 emission rights and allow families to deduct in rent the cost of mortgages for the purchase of their homes. If you can't do it, leave it. We are prepared and willing.

Madam President, Commissioner, 'Either you vote what we say to you or you will suffer the consequences' is going to be the new motto of the Commission and Parliament. From threats to reduce funds to "care with whom you agree, beware of the government you set up." We are now attempting to implement these threats, as the Commission is asking Hungary to suspend up to 65% of some cohesion policy funds, only because two thirds of Hungarians voted for Fidesz and Viktor Orbán. Of course, the Commission itself does not know how to quantify the impact on the Union budget, which is the one they claim to want to protect. Who will suffer the sanction is the Hungarian people, in the midst of an economic emergency that has provoked their climate fanaticism by putting us at the feet of foreign powers. It is enough to use the institutions to pollute electoral processes in the Member States and impose their ideological agenda. There are millions of Europeans out there who look to the future with hopelessness and you offer threats and sanctions and all you're going to need is a blanket to cover up the cold in winter. You guys are going from bad to worse. They are becoming more nervous and radicalized. Well, I told you last time: If you don't know, step away. We are ready and willing. We are the voice of moderation and the voice of common sense.

Madam President, Commissioner, another day dedicated to attacking a Member State simply because those who still govern here and intend to do so for a lifetime did not win the elections there. Today, Hungary. Tomorrow, Poland. Past, you don't know. Then, yes, they will go outside and fill their mouths with European unity. Already in 2018 the European Parliament initiated this Article 7 procedure against Hungary. Then there are numerous debates, four resolutions and the report we are voting on tomorrow. And, despite all this wasted time, the report is unable to identify a single violation of the rule of law in Hungary. The report is limited to raising cases that have been resolved by the competent bodies or to referring to issues that are part of the public debate in Hungary and in which the Union has no competence, such as sexual indoctrination of children in schools, which the Hungarian Government, of course, opposes. Stop interfering in national affairs. Take care only of your competences and in defending Europe. And, if you don't know, go and make way. We are ready and willing. In Hungary, in Poland, in Sweden, in Italy, in Spain, throughout Europe.

Mr President, Article 153(5) of the Treaty denies the Union the power to regulate remuneration, and you know that, but you do not care. They give us this directive on wages, which does not protect the stable employment of Europeans. We cannot talk about fair wages and not combat the main dangers to employment: the massive influx of illegal immigrants willing to take on the worst working conditions and be cheap labor, and the destruction of European companies with climate regulations, taxes and unfair competition from abroad. On the other hand, the power of association of the worker is a natural tendency to guarantee the justice of working conditions, but this power includes the freedom not to organize, which is violated by his obsession with imposing unionization on his obedient unions with public money. Mass syndication must be achieved through representative and effective unions, such as the Spanish trade union Solidaridad, and not through grants and subsidies. And the final joke: Recital 16 states that trade unions are harassed. I don't know in which country; in Spain, workers are harassed by trade unions when they see them applauding immigration and gender policies that curtail equal opportunities.

Mr President, today we have a report on better regulation, an example of how we should not legislate: sectarian, partial and incomprehensible. They still don't realize or, worse, they don't give a damn that there is an energy crisis out there because of their climate fanaticism, inflation and rate hikes that are going to lead to the collapse of the middle and working classes. What you are proposing is not to legislate better, it is to legislate more, in the same direction, the globalist agenda. Fifteen times the climate is mentioned; Zero, family. Five times the 2030 agenda and only one time employment. The best thing about the Commission's proposal, which was 'for every rule of over, a rule of under', you reject it, because the more rules, obligations and burdens are imposed on families, businesses and Member States, the better for you. I propose how to legislate: Do not make ridiculous and sectarian reports. Respect the Treaties and national governments and parliaments when acting within their competences. Eliminate rules and regulations and, above all, do not legislate for you or the interested parties, but for those most in need: those who are out there and do not have an electric car or a driver to take them home, but live in despair for the future ahead, without security in their pockets or security on the streets.

Mr. President, Vigo, Zaragoza, Madrid, Valencia, Palencia, Valladolid, Pamplona, Martorell and Barcelona, Orense, Vitoria, Ávila, Tona or Jaén are all cities in Spain where there is an automotive or component industry. I'm sure the Spaniards who work there know that none of you have come to see them, nor will you see them. Nor will you appear out there to answer for your lives if you are fired or replaced ahead of time, but with your vote you will decide on your lives and jobs. It seems that their aim is to destroy European industry and give Asian production the market. Have you explained that the production process of a vehicle lasts more than six years and that you can not change the rules of the game in the middle of the process? Are you going to explain to carriers who do not arrive at the end of the month that they have to buy a more expensive vehicle with less load capacity? And where are they going to recharge the vehicles? Do you know that most Europeans live overcrowded in buildings and with their cars on the streets? I understand you guys don't care. Down here, we have dozens of electric cars for us, and neither you nor the big companies are going to suffer, but your fanaticism is going to ruin our families and our companies.

Mr President, yesterday, Islamic radicals carried out a serious attack on a church in Nigeria. More than fifty Catholics were killed, including many children, and the priest who officiated at Mass was kidnapped to be subjected to God knows what torments. Last month Muslim students from the same country beat, stoned and burned alive a Catholic girl for saying she loved Jesus Christ. This Parliament expressly refused to condemn those savage acts. Instead, this week they bring back here the debate of how evil Poland is for not putting traffic lights with skirts, and they bring us a debate about the pro-life movement in the United States, about an abortion sentence that has not been dictated. Meanwhile, here in Europe there are more and more areas where states have no control. In Saint-Denis it could be clearly seen the other day and, in Spain, the socialist and popular governments look the other way, for example, on the coast of Almeria. When will they recognize that thanks to their complicities with the immigration invasion they have lost control over many areas of Europe?

Mr. President, I thought we were going to talk about security, but I see you're not. I do not come to entertain you with espionage games between politicians who spend their lives searching the lives of citizens. The shock is to see separatists, escaped coup plotters and those convicted of belonging to terrorist gangs come to say here, without evidence, that they have been spied on. But they have spent their lives spying on children and teachers in schools, on employers and on workers; kidnapping, coercing and killing Spaniards! Little has been spied on and little persecuted. Europeans are tired of seeing how you don't get out of crisis after crisis. Debt crisis, migration crisis, Brexit, energy crisis, inflation, more unemployment, more debt, and now Pegasus. It's exhausting. And all because of a mixture of sectarianism and weakness that makes us hostage to any threat. Do you want a stronger and safer Europe? So talk about the security that worries Europeans, not the security that worries politiquillos. Border security against illegal assault; in the streets in the face of mass rape; security for companies, so that no worker has to lose his job because his company goes abroad drowned by climate fanaticism; and also energy and food security, so that goods produced in third countries do not enter semi-slavery regimes. Let us dedicate ourselves to that security and the rest will come to us in addition.

My political group is the only one that has held a conference on the future of Europe by going to all the capitals of Europe. 800 citizens are representative of the European people. I, as a politician, come back to my country every weekend and talk to farmers, talk to farmers, talk to fishermen, talk to the self-employed, and I can assure you that the problems of European citizens are not unanimity or a new treaty to create a more resilient Europe that is absolutely dooming them to economic failure and the collapse of their lives.

Well, it is very simple, because you, without having informed any of the Europeans who voted for us, now talk about a convention to change the treaties and want to change, even, the rule of unanimity, which is absolute respect for democracy and the nations that make up Europe, its parliaments and its governments.

Madam President, you bring us to vote as conclusions of the Conference on the Future of Europe five pages equal to the initial document, because you had already written the conclusions. Come on, be honest: You Europeans don't give a damn. You want more power. If it were up to you, there would be no national parliaments. They talk about democracy, but they impose the noose of silence on those who disagree. They talk about social rights, but their elitism and climate fanaticism prevent them from seeing that their green transition is leading to the collapse of Europe's popular classes. You have silenced the real debate, but you have had a good globalist party at the expense of the Europeans' money. In the midst of the economic crisis, they are proposing a new treaty. They're real sociopaths. The Europe they draw is a Europe that is subservient to the 2030 Agenda, without nerve, without spirit, without nations that feed its richness and diversity, a Europe that betrays the pillars on which it was built, surrendered to foreign economies. But now, be brave, go to the streets and say that this document does not speak once of family, companies, European culture and tradition, radical Islamism, sexual violence unleashed on the streets, unemployment, closure of companies or unprotected borders. Look, centuries ago the elites came out first on the battlefield; Now you hide in the Tower of Babel and send the Europeans to the slaughterhouse. (The speaker agreed to respond to two interventions under the "blue card" procedure.)

Mr President, Commissioner, at this very moment, in Spain, we are paying for the most expensive light in history: 700 euros per megawatt hour. Congratulations to those who applauded Greta Thunberg, that grumpy little girl they receive with honors of head of state; to those who put the multi-coloured thread of the 2030 Agenda on the lapel, to those who voted in favour of the Green Deal, Goal 55, Resilient Europe and the gender perspective in the CAP. They have succeeded; have led to the collapse of Europe's popular classes: the price of light skyrocketed, gasoline in the clouds, rising unemployment. The few who work: precarious jobs and low wages. Thousands of young people of military age at the gates of the southern border and the highest inflation in years. They've made it. I guess the lobby on behalf of the planet, will thank them for that pricing system and that speculative market of CO2 emission rights in which only they earn. Energy sovereignty, do you understand? Do not give up any capacity or energy source: hydraulic, thermal, solar, wind, nuclear... Energy Sovereignty: the nation above the lobby. If you do not renounce your prejudices, condemn the future of Europe, and if you do not, we will.

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 energy transition. We Spaniards know this well: We have communism infiltrated the government. If we say that Ukrainian women and children fleeing the war are real refugees, but not the thousands of men of military age who storm the southern border in collaboration with NGOs or mafias, we do not need any subsidized verifier, nor any mega-millionaire social network that imposes censorship. If you want to turn the Union into an area of censorship, do not count on our vote. If you go to the cliff, go alone. We have to defend our energy, food and military sovereignty, but not only from communism, but also from Islamism, false climatism, immigrationism or the insane 2030 Agenda. I know they'll join us someday. I know, but the only thing I have doubts about is whether, when they do, it will be too late.

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 production that competes unfairly. Every year we repeat the same debates, we ask for the same aid, but if they arrive, when they arrive, they arrive late and badly. These situations require foresight, investments and a long-term strategy. In Spain there is a lack of infrastructure not only to store water efficiently, but also to ensure the connection between all the basins in a national plan. It is obscene that infrastructures such as the Rules dam have been waiting seventeen years for pipelines to reach farmers and producers on the Costa Tropical. Agricultural insurance against drought is absolutely deficient and does not take into account the real needs of farmers. You have launched a PAC flooded with green ideology, but farmers want to be flooded with water and not with their ideology. We demand, of course, the police station, a specific fund for drought. Drought is the ruin of our producers, farmers and ranchers, but especially the ruin of a way of life in our villages and rural areas. It is they who are really suffering from land desertification and restrictions on water use. That is, yes, the Union and the Member States have to react, set aside their ideology and focus on the real needs of producers.

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 of all those who chose not to get vaccinated or even those who had been vaccinated, but they have every right not to give that information to enter their job, find a job, go to school or go to university. And now, when countries like the UK or Denmark are lifting all restrictions, the Commission is proposing to require more doses to be able to use this certificate. And now there is no more deception. We know that we are not debating a travel document. We are debating a document to impose the mandatory vaccine. Therefore, from freedom, I inform you that our group, as we do in Spain, will vote against any proposal that intends to extend the duration of that instrument if the rights and freedoms that the national Constitutions recognize to our compatriots are not guaranteed. Believe it or not, Commissioner, you are not above freedom either.

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 ties of the family or the nation? Protecting Europe's borders from immigration invasion, isn't it Europe? The Court's ruling that we have heard today is yet another step in discrediting institutions that should be at the service of states and not at the service of Europe's suicide. Some people who live in Luxembourg and earn EUR 20 000 a month have decided that sovereign governments and parliaments can be coerced into imposing a perverse ideology on them: If you want to eat, vote what we tell you. Why go beyond Europe's borders to seek foreign interference? The fact that judicial independence or fundamental rights arise only vis-à-vis Hungary and Poland highlights the obvious ideological bias. But I understand them: They're nervous. The elites of Brussels are nervous about the wave of patriotism and dignity that is growing throughout Europe and that will restore dignity to these institutions here.

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 that seem more like the Pravda Soviet than a Europe of freedoms; private companies censoring freedom of opinion, expression and thought with public money under the tutelage of that European Board of Digital Services, another body they have created for their new normal: that of the 2030 Agenda, that of Davos, that of the mega-millionaires kneeling before Xi Jinping, that Soviet dictator turned into a spiritual leader of service providers and of the verifying agencies of service providers. Every day more Europeans realise what they want and say no. A wave of freedom is growing across Europe and they will not arrive in time to stop it. We crave freedom and we are not willing to give it away, nor are we willing to give sovereign states the power to their subsidized companies to tell us what we can do or say. We will not allow them to cancel freedom or civilization.

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 everything to absurdity; But since you don't give a damn about the problem, it actually ends up getting more serious. Today they talk to us about harassment and tell us again that all men are harassers; Well, all but those of the no—go zones harassing European women: those for you don't exist. Nothing new so far, the same invented war of sexes, but now they tell us that we MEPs have to submit to a compulsory course of feminist re-education to exercise our functions, that is, that the minutes are no longer going to be given to us by our voters and citizens, but by a gender commissioner: You are actually an enemy of democracy and you are an enemy of the unity of the community. Forget me in your re-education courses: I came home educated, my mother educated me.

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 does not matter that the Commissioner-in-Charge has taken a step back from seeing the scandal she has mounted, because in reality we know that they will return to the burden, and these delusional guides on inclusive and progressive language already exist in this Parliament and other EU institutions. For a quarter of a century, the European People's Party has been the majority group in this House: Someday they will have to explain to their voters why they have left all power in the hands of the left and the far left. By being inclusive, are they going to exclude Christians from Europe, replace us with peaceful jihadists? Yes, in Bethlehem was born Jesus Christ, of Mary and Joseph; The elites of that time also wanted to kill him, but he changed the world for the better. Europe became Christian and since then, and forever, we will say "happy Christmas".

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 Member States, but where are we now? 80% of the adult population in the European Union is vaccinated but continues to criminalise families, children and young people; the EU Digital COVID Certificate is used to restrict freedoms and to create first and second category citizens: Here you can't go in, here you can't eat, here you can't go to work. You are dynamite the community; Now they are talking about compulsory vaccination, fines and other restrictions, but we still do not know the contracts with the pharmaceutical companies or the origin of the virus and do not demand responsibility from the real culprits of having destroyed the lives of millions of Europeans: It is the new way of doing politics, silencing and imposing instead of informing and convincing, but, look, governing with fear is the business of despots. The only thing left for us Europeans is that they won't be able to take Christmas away from us. Merry Christmas to everyone!

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 parents walked; You have no right to marry, love and love your children because man and woman are in an all-out war that they have invented. Don't listen to them, globalist resentment is the scourge of the century. They tell you that your freedom is to become slaves to the 2030 Agenda, or gambling, or internet sex, or climate activists, more concerned with intangibles than with the forest that surrounded your cities yesterday; or face men and women in sterile gender debates. Young people of Europe, do not be afraid of their fears; Strive, study and work. Freedom and justice are not given away in Erasmus programmes or sex-identity pornography. You have every right to enjoy what your elders had: safety on the streets, united families, stable jobs and a homeland that defends you.

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, non-governmental organizations, government organizations, ministers, counselors, commissioners and even chairs in universities, but it is impossible to find an official figure of what is happening. We do not know if violence against women increases or decreases, but, listening to you, it seems to increase, which means that your gender policies are useless. In fact, reality tells us otherwise: In 2015, when mass Islamic immigration was allowed into Germany, there was a drastic increase in violence against women. We are clear: violence against women is combated with border control, support for families and harsh penalties against criminals and abusers. You do the opposite: They confront men and women, talk about "toxic masculinity" and consider all men, in general, potential rapists. That way we won't do anything.

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 issue if we did not know that each globalist initiative hides much more than it appears: in reality, a strategy to systematically impose a concrete economic and social model. Recognizing empty content rights is not recognizing rights. They have made the environment a hostage to those multilateral agencies that use legitimate concerns to deviate from real priorities. They multiply the environmental regulation on families and companies, but they remain silent before China, the most polluting country. They blame states, but they submit to multinational giants. Unnecessary organisms are proliferating, such as the United Nations rapporteur for the protection of human rights. But the price of energy rises exponentially because of the limitation of emission allowances imposed by Brussels, and in a few weeks millions of Europeans and their families and companies will join the ranks of energy poverty. "Poor but sustainable" is going to be the new motto of the United Nations. They are responsible for the rural exodus and the dismantling of our productive fabric, criminalize farmers and ranchers, allow unfair competition from non-EU products or promote eating habits as criminal as not drinking good wine, good oil and good meat. But Europeans don't want more empty rights, they want a secure future, water, keep their farms, work and compete. And they demand that we protect them, not sell them to multinational giants and extra-community powers.

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 Iberosphere. I repeat: Member States do not work for Brussels. The democratically elected Polish Parliament does not work for an elected Commission in dark offices. It is Brussels that is at the service of the Member States; The European Union is not a superpower, it is not that one ring that controls everyone, which is what you would like: It is just an international treaty in which twenty-seven sovereign states put things in common to do things in common. And, of course, the constitution of each Member State is above it. I also believe that the historical constitution of Spain, which traces its origins to the dawn of the Middle Ages, is above the Treaties. Today, the supporters of common sense fight for our freedom and our democracy in the camps of Poland, but no longer against Soviet battleships, but against a legion of bureaucrats who want to rob us of the freedom of our nations and the primacy of our constitutions.

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 through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, and in return we have had waves of assaults on border crossings, threats and contingencies of military confrontation with Greece or France. It could continue with the African continent, to which more than €25 billion has been allocated annually in development aid and through the Trust Fund. In return, Morocco attempted to storm Spain's border in Ceuta this year. Cooperation with African countries on the return of illegal immigrants is virtually nil, with a return rate of less than 20%, and countries such as Algeria put the continuity of gas supply in Spain at risk. This money does not go to those most in need to guarantee their right not to emigrate. This money stays in the NGOs or in the hands of any dictatorial satrap. It is therefore necessary to make any aid conditional on compliance with that obligation to cooperate with the control of illegal immigration. Otherwise, our compatriots will be poorer and more insecure.
