Strengthening Moldova’s resilience against Russian hybrid threats and malign interference (debate)

Mr President, Madam Commissioner, in recent years, Moldova has emerged as a key partner for the European Union in the Eastern Neighbourhood, choosing the path of reform, democracy and European integration. Yet this path is under relentless assault from the Kremlin. Russia is waging a sophisticated hybrid war, flooding the country with disinformation, financing criminal networks, manipulating relig…

Madam President, High Representative, the ECR Group has always been clear: there can be no long-lasting peace without justice and no justice without Ukraine's full territorial integrity and sovereignty. Any so-called compromise that rewards the Russian aggression will be seen as weakness and will only embolden the imperialist regime. We must stand with Ukraine, not only out of solidarity, but beca…

Situation in Belarus, in particular the release of political prisoners (debate)

Madam President, dear Commissioner, we all remember the rigged presidential elections in Belarus in 2020 and the wave of peaceful demonstrations that followed. The regime responded, not with dialogue, but with brutal repression. Since then, we've seen the dismantling of civil society, attacks on religious freedom and mass repression. The recent release of 14 political prisoners, including Siarhei …

80 years after the end of World War II - freedom, democracy and security as the heritage of Europe (debate)

Unfortunately, our region of Europe – Central, Central and Eastern Europe – fell victim to two great totalitarianisms in the 20th century: on the one hand Nazism, Nazism, which ravaged my country, on the other hand communism in the worst Soviet version, which for over half a century or almost half a century occupied Poland.

Mr President, thank you very much. On May 8, 1945, the Second World War ended, the bloodiest and most devastating war in the history of mankind. For Western Europe, it is a day of victory won thanks to the help of the United States. For the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe, this is the symbolic beginning of the almost half-century-long occupation brought by the Red Army. This anniversary is c…

Accelerating the phase-out of Russian gas and other Russian energy commodities in the EU (debate)
