Safeguarding the rule of law in Spain, ensuring an independent and autonomous prosecutor's office to fight crime and corruption (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, The rule of law of the EU: Rule of law – in reality, this is nothing more than hypocrisy and double standards with EU stamps, a political means of pressure against unwelcome patriotic governments. This is exactly what we see in the example of Spain. Because while we are witnessing a Hungarian bashing in continuous loop here, the EU in Spain is closing both eyes …

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Next week, the NATO summit will take place, and with it the stage is reopened for the armament fanatics of Europe. This is exactly what we will experience: many politicians who, instead of fighting for peace, want to go to war more and more in Europe; Politicians who, like here in Parliament, want to make the European Union a defence union under NATO rule today …

A unified EU response to unjustified US trade measures and global trade opportunities for the EU (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, It is really amazing how you really drive Europe against the wall in all areas and still stand here and always point your finger at the evil others with your moral detachment. No, it is not only since Trump launched his customs policy that the competitiveness of the economy and prosperity in Europe are steadily going downhill. Europe alone is to blame for this. …

Mr President! Dear Mr Brunner, I have to ask you: What are you doing here anyway? As it turns out, you are responsible for the biggest fiscal disaster of the Second Republic. They have transformed Austria from a healthy economy into a bankrupt state: 4.7% budget deficit. You shouldn't worry about our safety or sit here in a well-paid EU top job. Just like your former Chancellor Nehammer, who is no…

Presentation of the proposal on a new common approach on returns (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Since 2015, more than 8 million migrants have come to Europe. Two-thirds of those who come to us are not worthy of protection, and yet more than 80% remain here forever. The error in the system is obvious to everyone: Anyone who has ever set foot on European soil will stay here forever and will not be able to get out. Unfortunately, this return regulation wil…

Continuing the unwavering EU support for Ukraine, after three years of Russia’s war of aggression (debate)

Mr President! Ladies and gentlemen, the war in Ukraine is about to enter its fourth year, and you feel that you are holding the thousandth debate here under the title Continuation of Unconditional Solidarity. All citizens in Europe are now wondering: Why actually? First, why unconditionally? Because nothing in politics - and certainly not billions in payments and weapons - should be unconditional.…

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, The whole debate is just incomprehensible. If you have listened to a few comments here, then it is really time to say: Up here and no further. What you are going through and planning even further under the guise of democracy and freedom is nothing more than a frontal attack on the fundamental rights of the citizens of Europe.

Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

Dear Mrs. Colleague, thank you very much for your question. It is obvious that there is always disinformation – no one denies that at all. No one denies that falsehoods are spread through social media channels, that there are all sorts of campaigns. The question is, what you don't have in mind is: Are citizens really that manipulable? Are you really incapable of forming your own opinion? Are they …

The Assad regime has fallen and the time is ripe – the time is ripe for around 100,000 Syrian asylum seekers in Austria and around a million across Europe to pack their bags and go home, now.
