Wider comprehensive EU-Middle East Strategy (debate)

Watch

Mr President, a number of murderous attacks on priests and prominent Christians in Lebanon and Syria. On individual cases in the US, Russia, China and Egypt, the European Parliament adopted a number of resolutions. We never talk about systematic purge against Christians in the Middle East, as if Christians were not people. Let us look at Israel's solidarity with Jews around the world and rediscove…

Geopolitical and economic implications for the transatlantic relations under the new Trump administration (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Americans and Europeans are cheering 'make our nations great again', rejecting the woke agenda, pro-immigration and anti-national policies. Trump's "America First" policy was not just about the United States. It was a global trumpeting in favor of national sovereignty. Donald Trump challenged the elites, defied the rotten system, and proved that politics must serve people first. His …

Preparation of the European Council of 19-20 December 2024 (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Mrs von der Leyen, who unfortunately left the Chamber a moment ago, we have seen that she met with Erdogan yesterday. And what did he tell us? He told us he's an important partner. He told us that he wants to improve the relations that the European Union has with Turkey and told us that he wants to give him an additional 1 billion for hosting refugees. I want to ask Mrs. von der L…

Strengthening the security of Europe’s external borders: need for a comprehensive approach and enhanced Frontex support (debate)

Watch

Madam President, an obsession with illegal immigrants has been created in a minority part of our society and our political system. It's like Stockholm Syndrome. We live in the real world, we sympathize with our fellow citizens and we want our homelands back. We don't want an Islamabad in the center of Athens. And when we say not one illegal entry, we mean not one illegal entry. Europe must become …

Preparation of the European Council of 17-18 October 2024 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, there is no much-vaunted European social market economy in Greece. Every sector of Greece is controlled by a few friends of the government, and the Greek government has handed over the billions of the Recovery Fund to these friends, when they should have gone to the Greek small and medium-sized. Unfortunately, the so-called competition committee, or rather the "pretext committee", do…

The devastating floods in Central and Eastern Europe, the loss of lives and the EU’s preparedness to act on such disasters exacerbated by climate change (debate)

Watch

Madam President, five millennia ago, on the Nile, sound irrigation systems were developed to deal with drought and flooding. Floods such as those of Eastern Europe do not honour the Europe of 2024. It happened last year in Thessaly, the most fertile Greek region. This happened in parallel with a 50% reduction in rainfall compared to the previous decade and a 30% reduction in Mornos water this year…

The sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive - Anti-Money Laundering Regulation - Establishing the Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (joint debate - Anti-money laundering)

Watch

Mr President, the biggest money-laundering scandals are very often located at the point of contact between the deep wealth and the supposedly charitable work carried out by some NGOs. The geopolitical role played by Soros NGOs, for example, in both Eastern Europe and Central Asia, is well known. These NGOs affect both our national sovereignty and our institutions. In the Aegean, we are clearly tal…

Closer ties between the EU and Armenia and the need for a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Europe is a union of values: The big lie. If it were a union of values, the reaction that existed for Ukraine would also exist for Armenia, but also for our Cyprus. We would have the same reaction in Crimea, Nagorno-Karabakh and Kosovo. President Pashinyan listened to the Euro-NATO sirens and at first two-thirds of Artsakh was lost, then the remaining one-third, and now lands of Arme…

Implementation report on the EU LGBTIQ Equality Strategy 2020-2025 (debate)

Watch

Madam President, since the beginning of the world and over the centuries, having a family requires a man and a woman. The biological connection between the fetus and the mother is deep, multi-layered and irreplaceable. Mother is a sacred person to us. In our Orthodoxy, the importance of the Virgin Mary reflects the importance of the mother in our lives. It's sad to talk about a paradigm shift. It …

Need to fight the increase of antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the theory of so-called Islamophobia is being promoted by specific centres, Turkey, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood. In other words, the same people who finance the illegal invasion, the replacement of our population in Europe, the guilt that we are Christians. Unfortunately, they find fertile ground. This Parliament has refused to condemn the use of the headscarf, even in campaigns…

Implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy and future perspectives (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the Greek Government, our report explicitly calls for this. Member States to step up efforts to fight illegal, unregulated and unregulated fishing and to ensure that fish consumption in Europe does not support illegal fishing. Regulation 1005/2008 is a European weapon to block imports of illegally caught fish from Turkey in the Aegean Sea. So far with the Turkish fishermen who thresh…

Rule of Law and media freedom in Greece (debate)

Watch

Madam President, with regard to the rule of law in Greece, it would not be excessive to say that Greece has turned into Colombia in Europe, not because we produce good coffee or cocoa, but because the Greek mafia is in charge, going so far as to murder with Kalashnikovs in the centre of Athens. Also, journalists trying to highlight this regime, in the worst case they are subjected to murderous att…

Activities of the European Ombudsman – annual report 2022 (debate)

Watch

Madam President, this report highlights the European Ombudsman's complaints about the secret Bourla and von der Leyen agreements. It is time to admit that the European Union with its compulsory and fascist vaccination has deceived European citizens. Here in the European Parliament, Pfizer's spokeswoman told us that they did not know if vaccines were effective. With the definitive end of the von de…

Humanitarian situation in Gaza, the need for the release of hostages and for an immediate humanitarian truce leading to a ceasefire and the prospects for peace and security in the Middle East (debate)

Watch

Mr President, arguably the main culprit for the situation in Gaza is the US, which financed the Taliban in Afghanistan and Hamas to hit Fatah and Arafat. Also the main culprit is Erdoğan, who does not hesitate to openly support the Hamas terrorist organization. We too wonder, Mr Borrell, how the European Union supports, talks about and funds this dictator. Coming to the present day, the European U…

Islamist terrorist attack on French schools and the need to protect people and promote social cohesion (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the terrorist attacks by Muslim jihadists have plunged the once wondrous land of light into the Muslim darkness. All those European citizens who have been murdered in recent years might have been alive if you had heard our message about deportations. Deportations, then, mean humanity for Europeans. But you are afraid of being labeled as Islamophobic by our murderers of tomorrow. The …

Towards a more disaster-resilient EU - protecting people from extreme heatwaves, floods and forest fires (debate)

Watch

Mr President, let us be procured and not persevered. European satellite systems predict weather hazards and increased fire risk and the likelihood of flooding. Unfortunately, due to the result, no correct information was obtained. We need to prevent rather than cure. Early information is required. The prevention system needs to be redesigned. We demand brave decisions for firebreaks, planting zone…

2022 Report on Albania (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Northern Epirus has been Greek land since ancient times. Himara, despite the Grecophobic attacks of Albania, is part of Northern Epirus. The crime of Fredis Beleris was that he proved the self-evident, that Himara is also a Greek land. The Protocol of Corfu never applied, it was never cancelled and yet. Albania should treat the Greek ethnic minority in Northern Epirus with respect…

Relations with the Palestinian Authority (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Islamist terrorist attacks are constantly taking place in both Israel and Europe. These attacks are a continuation of years of murderous jihadist action against those they call infidels. Extremism is the result of many factors. It is based primarily on the beliefs of radical Islam. Unfortunately, Palestinian children, like Turkish children, are learning how to become martyrs. List…

The erosion of the rule of law in Greece: the wiretapping scandal and media freedom (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. There were good European intentions when independent authorities were proposed. They were eventually disproved, especially for the Greek minor opposition. Appointment by a majority of the House leads to control by the major minority called the majority and overall control by the mainstream parties when a two-thirds agreement of the n…

Humanitarian consequences of the blockade in Nagorno-Karabakh

Watch

Mr President, if there had been natural phenomena – fires, earthquakes, floods – there would have been a rescue air bridge. We are witnessing the inhuman torture of 120,000 people. We need a rescue initiative. I am glad that the majority of this House recognises and denounces the Azerbaijani plan. The Azerbaijani dictatorship imprisons or silences the Azerbaijani dissidents. If there was a democra…

Criminalisation of humanitarian assistance, including search and rescue (debate)

Watch

Mr President, we are talking about an organised plan to slander our institutions, to erode our states and – ultimately – to replace our nations. The accusers of the Greek Coast Guard should be ashamed and their sponsors should be investigated – and more so. Twenty-four NGO workers on Lesvos were arrested for espionage, forgery and illegal listening to radio frequencies to inform Turkish smugglers …

Implementation of the New European Agenda for Culture and the EU Strategy for International Cultural Relations (debate)

Watch

Mr President, we need a moral European conception of culture based on law. Directive 60 of 2014 was structured restrictively so as not to oblige Member States to return the cultural objects stolen before 1993. This ensures that Greek cultural treasures remain in foreign museums. Admittedly, the Commission states that the Directive can be applied on a voluntary basis. An unconvincing argument, unfo…

New EU strategy for enlargement (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the Greek ethnic minority in Northern Epirus is being persecuted. Houses are confiscated and churches and tombs are demolished. And Europe is silent. After the horrific persecutions of Hoxha and the unacceptable and even murderous attacks since 1991, today we have legal obstacles for our Northern Epirus. Let's say it openly: The Albanian government is a Turkish actor. If the same …

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 20-21 October 2022 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, recently, the impoverished Greek people have seen their incomes shrink even further as a result of inflation. At this difficult juncture, it was decided to stop buying cheap Russian gas because Russia is attacking Ukraine. Seeing, however, that this gas is being replaced by Azerbaijani gas, I would like to ask you, about Azerbaijan attacking Armenia, why is nothing done? Iran is also…

Renewed partnership with the Southern Neighbourhood – a new agenda for the Mediterranean (debate)

Watch

Madam President, lately Mr Michel has been trying to convene a Mediterranean summit, which will only put Turkey into practice. Let us remind Mr Michel that, as in Europe Finland is famous for its education system, Germany for its industry and France for its culture, Turkey is famous only for its genocides. After it wiped out a third of its Christian population, the Kurds are next. And I want to be…
