Ensuring sustainable, decent and affordable housing in Europe - encouraging investment, private property and public housing programmes (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, in Spain, since 2016, the price of rents has risen by 40%. One in three people who live on rent dedicates more than 40% of their salary to paying it, more than 60% of the salary in cities or autonomous communities such as the Balearic Islands or Madrid. Why is the price of housing skyrocketing if it is a fundamental right for citizens? Because in 2023 in Spain 80% of th…

Need to fight the systemic problem of gender-based violence in Europe (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, we are going to miss you very much, I can assure you. The case of Gisèle Pélicot, whom I take this opportunity to thank, shows that sexist violence is not isolated cases and that the aggressors are not rotten apples, but normal men, healthy children of a sexist society that normalizes and makes sexual violence invisible. And that's why most raped a…

The reintroduction of internal border controls in a number of Member States and its impact on the Schengen Area (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the reality and the problem in Europe is that our border policy, our migration policy, violates human rights and is racist. I have not seen anyone in this session be concerned about the foreign vulture funds that are illegally hoarding the housing of our compatriots and that make the price of housing skyrocket. You direct your hatred…

War in the Gaza Strip and the situation in the Middle-East (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, to speak of war in Gaza, Commissioner, as you do, is to protect the genocidal State of Israel. Commissioner, when a criminal state murders more than 41,000 people, half of them children; when it devastates 60% of homes, 85% of schools, 65% of roads; when it forcibly displaces more than 80 % of the population; When it prevents the entry of water,…

Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Tell me, who wins with the war, besides the American military-industrial complex, besides the United States or Putin's criminal? Where are we going, to the direct confrontation between nuclear powers? How many millions of people have to be killed for us to defend what must necessarily happen to end any war conflict, which is peace? Do you know what the real misfortune of all this is? That this gre…

Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Your Honor, what needs to be done is what has always been done to end wars, which is to negotiate peace: Precisely where Putin's criminal is comfortable is in war, and Putin is going to go as far as you let him go with this great war consensus that goes from socialists and greens to Meloni's far right: until the direct confrontation between nuclear powers. Your Honor, Putin's narrative is the narr…

Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the United States and Europe are now deepening the escalation of war with the use of long-range missiles. Feeding the war does not approach the end of the conflict; on the contrary, it pushes away the possibilities of a ceasefire and brings us ever closer to a great risk, the use of tactical nuclear arsenal. Commissioner, you tell us that sending m…
