Threat to democracy and the rule of law in Poland, in particular through the creation of an investigative committee (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. How symbolic that the representatives of the Polish opposition are centered around the German representative of the German EPP party who requested this debate. How symbolic. You have no right to wave your finger in front of the Polish face. You have no right until you account for the corruption scandal, the invasion of the German and Belgian services. Count yours…

Ukrainian cereals on the European market (debate)

Dear President, Dear Commissioner, I always make my speeches in English, but today I decided to speak in my mother tongue, because it is a great pride that the Commissioner for Agriculture is a Pole. Today it is a special pride. Why is that? I would like to present some data, facts and not political opinions, on the example of Poland. Why was the decision to extend this liberalisation a good one? …

This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Xavier Bettel (debate)

Madam President, this is a very important debate about the future of Europe. This is a very important debate and I cannot hear the answer for the very fundamental question: what kind of future do you want for Europe? Do you want to build on the foundation of the European history, on Greek philosophers, Roman law, Christian culture, or do you want to continue with your politics, which led us to no-…

New developments in allegations of corruption and foreign interference, including those related to Morocco, and the need to increase transparency, integrity and accountability in the European institutions (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. This is the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the European Parliament. This is not a scandal only of Morocco, it is not a scandal only of Qatar, because the accused and arrested people dealt with artificial intelligence, dealt with cryptocurrencies and dealt with Poland. In the report by Fight Impunity, Panzeri's organization, which is now in prison, we could…

The humanitarian situation in Ukraine due to Russia’s attacks against critical infrastructure and civilian areas (debate)

Mr President, Madam Commissioner, it’s been 10 months – 10 months of this genocide. And Poland from day one was a leader. Over 7 million people crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border. Can you imagine that? Not even one person, Madam Commissioner, not even one family never found any other different place than a Polish home. We don’t have camps for refugees in Poland, because we are so open. But in Eur…

90 years after Holodomor: Recognising the mass killing through starvation as genocide (debate)

Madam President, it’s been 90 years since this horrible tragedy. It’s been decades. And Russia is still the same Russia. They committed crimes in Poland. They committed genocide in Poland. They committed genocide in Ukraine 90 years ago and they are still committing crimes like genocide in Ukraine now. Nothing has changed. Nothing. And 90 years ago, over 90 years ago, 100 years ago, we didn’t know…

Madam President, this debate is not about money. It’s not about EUR 18 billion. It’s not about USD 350 billion. This debate is about our humanity, Mr Commissioner. It’s about our responsibility. It’s about history. Because history will judge us, just like history judged those who decided to fight against Hitler. I can’t see many differences between Putin and Hitler.

Madam President, I say to the dear leftists, it’s been seven years of your criticism and attacks on Poland, and obviously the rule of law is one of the excuses. Look at the Chamber, where these seven years of your criticism led you to: there’s more people watching us from the gallery than MEPs taking a part in this discussion. Well done. Well done.
