One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, tomorrow morning, the Rural Coordination will come to demonstrate in front of the doors of this Parliament, like so many farmers all over France. Again, you will refuse to listen, understand and question your deadly ideology: free trade at all costs, which strangles our farmers, ruins our territories and sacrifices our sovereignty. Yet my political family has for years denounced trea…

Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (debate)

Watch

Mr President, at a time when Audi Brussels is in danger of closing its doors, when the production of the French medicine has disappeared and it is known that Doliprane will eventually be sold in the United States, while the peoples of Europe are increasingly rejecting immigration, both economically and in terms of security, to the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs. The proposed guidelines…

The crisis facing the EU’s automotive industry, potential plant closures and the need to enhance competitiveness and maintain jobs in Europe (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to see that the European Union is finally addressing the crises it has itself created. Better late than never, but let's be clear: on the automobile as on the rest, you are only repairing the damage you have caused, leaving our economies on their knees and our industrial flagships at the edge of the abyss. Look at the 3,000 employees of Audi Bruss…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, at the beginning of this term of office, it would be tempting to turn the page on the past and pretend to start from scratch. However, I remind you of the commitments made at the end of the previous mandate regarding European funding paid to Islamist organizations such as Islamic Relief, which received more than 40 million euros of European funds through Erasmus+. 40 million euros…

Interinstitutional Body for Ethical Standards (debate)

Watch

Madam President, you want to create a body allegedly composed of experts to set ethical standards. Your proposal is not only absurd, but also totally useless. Once again, standards and procedures, ever more standards, ever more procedures, ever more technocrats for, in the end, always the same result: a complete lack of efficiency. Before thinking about inventing new structures, why not simply app…

Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, April 4, a fifteen-year-old was murdered, beaten and left on the ground in front of his college gate. Two days later, 14-year-old Samara was lynched to the point of falling into a coma because she refused to wear the Islamic veil. It was last week. On Monday, a thirteen-year-old girl was assaulted by four boys for failing to respect Ramadan. These crimes did not arrive in…

Promised revision of the EU animal welfare legislation and the animal welfare-related European citizens’ initiatives (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Gandhi said: “One can judge the greatness of a nation and its moral progress by how it treats its animals.” There is still much to be done on animal welfare to live up to this quote. The European legislation governing slaughter lays down as a principle the stunning of animals before they are killed in order to prevent them from suffering. This is a good thing, but the problem is t…

Madam President, on 27 August, a massive rockfall of 10 000 cubic metres took place in the La Praz sector, cutting off all road and rail traffic in Haute-Maurienne and the main border crossing point between Italy and France. Today, around 50 French and Italian companies using the Alpine railway motorway are at a standstill and are suffering colossal losses, with no long-term vision. The only solut…

Regaining our competitive edge - a prosperous EU in a fragmented global economy (topical debate)

Watch

Mr President, on a topical debate on European industrial competitiveness, how can we fail to mention the most emblematic case of the incompetence of our leaders in this area? I am referring, of course, to Atos, a former French industrial flagship, which was one of the ten most important companies in the essential digital services sector, alongside IBM or HP. But look where we are now! After decade…

Working conditions of teachers in the EU (debate)

Watch

Mr President, today, 8 February 2024, we need to discuss the working conditions of teachers in the European Union. But this debate should have taken place a long time ago. It should have taken place before 16 October 2020, the day of the death of Samuel Paty, a history-geography teacher at the college, who was beheaded by an Islamist terrorist for showing two cartoons of Mohammed from the Charlie …

Geothermal energy (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, for years the Brussels technocrats, hand in hand with the radical environmentalists, have been imposing on us an absurd energy policy that favours wind and solar energy, and this, of course, under the blissful acclaim of the elected representatives of the left. The result was written in advance: total dependence on foreign powers, lagging energy production, u…

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are here to vote again on a proposal for a regulation on critical raw materials, after negotiations with other institutions. Finally, you acknowledge your mistakes. For years, we have been denouncing your ultra-liberal policy, which has created unfair competition and made us dependent on imports of essential raw materials for our industries. But now you final…

Madam President, in May I asked the Commission a written question to explain the funding it has provided to Islamist organisations. In response, the Commission assured me that there is currently no EU-funded project for these organisations. However, one month before this reply, Islamic Relief was appointed coordinator of a project under the Erasmus+ programme. Worse still, according to a parliamen…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, it was therefore not until the global economy was completely paralyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic and our soil was the scene of a major crisis that you began to understand the vital importance of our industries. For decades, you have put forward the dogma of the market and the sacred principle of free and undistorted competition in the industrial field. For dec…

Type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to their emissions and battery durability (Euro 7) (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, standards, always standards! The European Union only has that word in its mouth. Set ever more standards to rot the lives of our fellow citizens. You want to pass a new standard on car pollution, the famous Euro 7 standard. But it is important that everyone understands the vice behind this text. The European Union recently imposed the switch to all-electric, mak…

Generational renewal in the EU farms of the future (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as the report states, almost 60% of farmers in the European Union are over the age of 55, and only 20% are under the age of 40. The observation is simple: Yes, it is true that agricultural occupations no longer attract younger generations. Once again, there is what your pretty texts say and there is what they do not say. In 1970, there were 1.6 million farms in …

Madam President, last Thursday, the Rassemblement National benefited from a parliamentary niche in the Assembly allowing it to table its own bills.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, a wolf attack on Mrs von der Leyen’s pony has finally brought this debate to the agenda. But our herders have suffered these attacks for years without receiving the necessary means to deal with them. The problem that has been a concern for our farmers for a long time seemed so far far far removed from your concerns of technocrats entrenched in your ivory towe…

10th anniversary of the EU Guidelines on Freedom of Religion or Belief (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the right to freedom of religion and belief is one of our most valuable political legacies, bequeathed to us by Enlightenment thinkers such as Voltaire, Rousseau and Montesquieu. These men fought against all absolutisms, be they religious or political. We owe them our freedom. But what remains today? To tell the truth, not much, and we owe it to the left and the…

Madam President, in March I tabled a motion for a resolution to coordinate the fight against endometriosis – in other words, to take the best of care and research from each state. This text was not retained by the ENVI Coordinators as it concerned only one disease among others. You clearly do not seem to understand the severity of this disease, which causes pain worse than that of a birth without …

Madam President, the text in question deals with the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, but in truth it could have been called ‘deployment of infrastructure to make individual car owners pay more and more’. For we must collectively stop lying to ourselves and, above all, to the people. What the European Commission, with the backing of the environmental left, has been boasting about fo…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the issue of the water crisis is a very cross-cutting one, because water is everywhere and is used for all purposes. It is necessary for our food and hygiene, it conditions our agricultural and industrial production, it affects the attractiveness and liveability of our territories, and it is itself greatly affected by our lifestyles and by climate change.
