Situation in Afghanistan, in particular the situation of women’s rights (debate)

Watch

Madam President, the defence of human rights must be present in any country where freedom and human dignity are respected. The European Union cannot have a double standard when it comes to defending these rights. For example, we see how strategic relations are maintained, which have compromised our autonomy, with totalitarian regimes that do not respect the smallest democratic standards. In Afghan…

European Semester for economic policy coordination: annual sustainable growth survey 2022 – European Semester for economic policy coordination: employment and social aspects in the annual sustainable growth strategy survey 2022 (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Semester is the framework within which the economic and budgetary policies of the countries of the European Union are coordinated. Now it is intended the interference of changing its nature including other matters that change its objectives and, in addition, with an ideological language such as gender equality, the green, fluid and inclusive tran…

EU Gender Action Plan III (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the European Union's external action in the fight against inequality cannot be based on ideological theories that undermine human identity: Gender ideology is perverse, degrades women, confronts us with men, and disrupts the family and society. Third countries that need our support have the right to be respected in their identity and not to be contaminated with atrocities such as the…

The EU priorities for the 66th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (debate)

Watch

Mr President, it is not serious that a text is proposed at the last minute that lacks legal rigor and internal logic, without time to make amendments. It mixes women with gender ideology and climate change with a logic impossible to decipher. What does effective gender-transformative climate action mean, for example? Can anyone understand what you're talking about? It's crazy. Go back to reality a…

One youth, one Europe (topical debate)

Watch

Mr. President, you young people deserve to be told the truth, that a full life is only achieved on a path of effort and development of virtues, where love and the search for the common good are present. But here, in Parliament, you are told of imposed agendas, of ideologies that encourage victimization, guilt, hopelessness, fear, rather than learning to trust yourself. Follow the natural dictates …

Strengthening Europe in the fight against cancer(debate)

Watch

Madam President, rapporteur, shadow rapporteurs, it has been a pleasure to work as a team to present this European Beating Cancer Plan, which materialises the collaboration between sovereign Member States, their health policies, and allows us to share and drive forward progress. The fragility of the human being in the face of disease also shows us his dignity. We promote responsible, virtuous habi…

Plans to undermine further fundamental rights in Poland, in particular regarding the standards of the European Convention of Human Rights and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, I wonder: Do they really care about unity? So why attack a Member State? Poland is protecting human rights as enshrined in 1948; We appreciate you doing it. Abortion is not a human right: This perverse interpretation does away with the protection they should provide us. Poland is sovereign to regulate according to its laws, and does so by being faithful to its faith,…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Watch

Madam President, it is disconcerting that an institution that should set an example, such as the European Parliament, which presumes to fight for women's rights and which, in turn, is supposed to have an influence in the world of politics, forces us, days after giving birth, to have a physical presence to intervene and vote, something impossible given that we must travel. I complain that a situati…

The state law relating to abortion in Texas, USA

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today I speak not only as a MEP, but as a woman and mother who will give birth in a few days. And I want to show you the beauty of a life that already takes its place in this world. Listening to them, I wonder: Why are they afraid of life? Why are they afraid of a baby? Who can't fall in love with the miracle of a tiny life that unfolds on its own? They deny a r…

EU Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority: ensuring a coordinated EU approach for future health crises and the role of the European Parliament in this (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, we cannot confine ourselves to discussing today in this House the role of the European Parliament in HERA. Many other issues are objectively more relevant if this new Authority is to be effective, operational and useful in managing close to €50 billion by 2027 in four months. Health is a competence of the Member States. Therefore, we need to know the structure and fu…

The impact of intimate partner violence and custody rights on women and children (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, national laws, in their codes, already regulate violent behaviour on an objective and non-discriminatory basis. The Union's meddling in these matters is an interference in its sovereignty. Laws must ensure legal certainty and be based on a fundamental premise: We are all equal before the law, men and women. Aggression knows no sex and violence is reprehensible i…

Identifying gender-based violence as a new area of crime listed in Article 83(1) TFEU (continuation of debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, after obtaining recognition before the law of equality between men and women, they are now coming up with proposals that destroy it. National legislation already covers all types of criminal acts of aggression against any person. The perversity of gender ideology would be consummated by this action, conquering the heart of laws. It is the greatest setback in …

European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control - Serious cross-border threats to health (debate)

Mr President, I take the floor today on behalf of Mrs Kopcińska, rapporteur for this report. She cannot be present because of her mother's passing. From here I send you a strong hug and all my support in these difficult moments. Exactly 25 weeks have passed since we started working in Parliament on the revised mandate of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. It has been a time of…

European Medicines Agency (continuation of debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, we hope that the new role of the EMA will serve, in an effective and practical way, to improve coordination and promote communication throughout the sector, at critical times such as the one we are experiencing; increase the scientific basis for decision-making; speed up clinical trials and registrations of medicinal products; generate effective tools to cope with sh…
