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 of taxpayers' money for an organization that transferred millions of dollars to Hamas. And as if that were not enough, according to the German government, the same organisation has very strong ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. You promised an investigation through the German National Agency. Was it conducted? European citizens have a right to know whether their money finances Islamism, which attacks their values and security. No cent of Europeans' money should be used to finance the enemies of our nations. We demand clear answers and immediate action.
