One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, as a Galician MEP, I am here to defend Galician interests. For months we have encountered a serious lack of transparency and multiple difficulties in accessing procedures on various Galician topics. In Galicia, my country, we are particularly concerned about the refusal we received to access the documents on the procedure opened four years ago for the illegal extension of the Atla…

Devastating wildfires in Southern Europe: the need to strengthen EU aid to restore the massive loss of forests and enhancing EU preparedness (debate)

Watch

Mr. Millán Mon, you live in Madrid, don't you? Do you live in Madrid? I don't know, it looks like he lives in Madrid. It should be noted that you are not aware of the day-to-day policies of the Junta de Galicia. It is very, very noticeable, because it is totally alien to the reality of the country. Have you read the report of the European Court of Auditors which states that precisely the preventiv…

Devastating wildfires in Southern Europe: the need to strengthen EU aid to restore the massive loss of forests and enhancing EU preparedness (debate)

Watch

Mr President, as a Galician MEP, I have promoted this debate because I have a responsibility to denounce the loneliness that Galicia, my country, has suffered in these terrible fires of devastating fire. Burnt houses, dead animals, trees and agrarian lands, lost crops converted to ashes, destroyed lives, apocalyptic images and devastated landscapes. The Galician people were left alone. Only thanks…

Gaza at breaking point: EU action to combat famine, the urgent need to release hostages and move towards a two-state solution (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Mrs Kallas, you recently made statements in which you said that you were frustrated by the genocide in Gaza. You don't use the word "genocide," but it's used by a lot of people, fed up with watching children get killed. From here I want to convey all the solidarity with the people who demonstrate throughout Europe, including in my country, in Galiza, where recently, for demonstrat…

Post-2027 Common Agricultural Policy (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, if there is anything we can say about the CAP of recent years, it is that it has continued to benefit large landowners and has left out small farmers. It is enough to see the data of my country, Galicia. Since 2009, 12 000 farms have closed. And it's not strange: increased bureaucracy, lack of flexibility and lack of policies for generational renewal. What future can…

Your Honor, I'd like to ask you if you've ever seen a cow in your life. I ask because sometimes it seems to me that you talk by talking.

I just ask him: Have you ever seen a cow?…

EU Preparedness Union in light of the upcoming wildfire and droughts season (debate)

Madam President, there are countries that prohibit harmful industries, such as Portugal, which imposes a moratorium on the planting of eucalyptus. There are countries that allow us to destroy nature, soil, agriculture, with interested moratoria on eucalyptus, as is the government of the People's Party in my country, Galicia. They want to end the wastelands. (the speaker spoke in an unofficial EU l…

Situation in the Middle East (debate)

Watch

Madam President, it smells of blood, it really smells of death, but, above all, it smells of hypocrisy. Building a city in the ruins of Rafah to enclose 600,000 Gazans is Netanyahu's latest invention, yet another element that shapes the definition of genocide. What more evidence of genocide do we want, what more evidence does the European Union want, why isn't Mrs Kallas here today, why can't this…

Mr President, Commissioner, manipulating, imposing, silencing and violating rights happens not only in Hungary, but also in my country: Galicia. I'm talking about TVG, public television and radio. It's manipulated. And who manipulates it? The government of the People's Party, which violates the European Media Law. The government of the Galician People's Party interferes in the public media, which …

Stopping the genocide in Gaza: time for EU sanctions (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, we have no more words. 20 months without action in Gaza. 20 months of complicity. The European Union has been silent in the face of genocide and is complicit. Because to be complicit is to do nothing in the face of the annihilation of the Palestinian people. Can Mrs. von der Leyen pick up a phone to talk to Netanyahu and can't take sanctions? Why this double standard? It's called …

Mr. President, Mrs. Kallas, look us in the eye. Look into the eyes of the people moving in the European streets, who have denounced this genocide. I look it in the eye, because I trust that the European Union will, in the end, change its position, because otherwise it will be an embarrassment. If they don't, they will go down in history, they will go down in history through hypocrisy, they will go…

Do you know that the European Union is one of the signatories to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and should therefore comply with it? You know that because you've been an ambassador. I am surprised by the absence of the Spanish People's Party here today: It's just you. Look the other way: We're from a lot of parties. I'm surprised by the absence of the righ…

Madam President, how many times have the Committee on Petitions in this Parliament received complaints from passengers about delays, baggage charges and delayed compensation? As my colleague Vicent Marzà says, now that we have the opportunity to speed up improvements in rights, the Council is putting the brakes on the European Parliament. Four hours, wait four hours for compensation for delay and …

Mr President, Galician is a historical language with deep roots, the language of my country, Galicia. Galician is the intangible heritage of the Galician people. Its maximum expression. Europe must recognise the linguistic rights of our people, and I defend this as a Galician MEP. We therefore need Galician to be an official language in Europe for the representativeness, visibility and respect of …

Strengthening rural areas in the EU through cohesion policy (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, cohesion policy is fundamental to ensuring living rural areas with basic services. Therefore, we do not agree that the European government incorrectly redirects funds for military purposes. In Galicia, my country, a decision is still awaited on what to finance with 60% of the funds. 62% of Galician municipalities are designated as less-favoured areas. The rural exodus i…

Mr President, Commissioner, with this report, the right-wing and far-right groups in this Parliament have succeeded in silencing and undermining the important work carried out by the Committee on Petitions in 2023 on environmental and climate issues and on people's rights. The Committee on Petitions is for me, as a Member of the European Parliament, one of the most important in this European Parli…

The EU's response to the Israeli government's plan to seize the Gaza Strip, ensuring effective humanitarian support and the liberation of hostages (debate)

Madam President, they can't do it anymore, that's why we can't give up. 15 000 children killed so far in Gaza, 60 000 people killed by Israel, and there has been no condemnation by this Parliament, not even a minute of silence. Pepe Mujica said that if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. We will never be there, we will be on the side of the 14,000…

High levels of retail food prices and their consequences for European consumers (debate)

Mr Oliveira, you, who are from Portugal, and I, who am from Galicia, know very well what it means for producers, especially for small farms and also for sailors, also for people who cannot access to eat four or five times a day – not three. What is this? Distribution industries that are leonine, that are making prices so that food products are more expensive, and public intervention is necessary a…

High levels of retail food prices and their consequences for European consumers (debate)

Watch

Madam President, eating with dignity is a basic right. In Europe, 42 million people eat poorly because the price of food has risen. A handful of large multinationals make huge profits – and are undertaxed – while many people cannot go to the supermarket to eat worthily and several times a day. Unfair prices compared to poorly paid profits, farmers and sailors. In Galicia, for example, food prices …

The European Water Resilience Strategy (debate)

Mr President, water is life. Water quality, as the rapporteur says, is a future. Unlike the future, it is the politics of the past, which contaminates, which kills species of flora and fauna, spaces of biodiversity. I alert the Commissioner – as I have already informed Vice-President Ribera – to the Altri macrocellulose project, based on the cultivation of eucalyptus on my land in Galicia. A proje…

An urgent assessment of the applicability of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement (PDCA) with Cuba (debate)

Madam President, Madam High Representative, how the right likes to go from the hook of the extreme right of this European Parliament. They bring back the issue of Cuba because they have morriña of the times of Aznar, when they cut the whole relationship between the people of Cuba and the European peoples. In Cuba a part of the history of my country, Galiza, was written, and we, in the BNG, will al…

Mr President, Mr Trump's pause in fear, blackmail and delusions cannot be the engine for our European trade policy. We cannot give in to the blackmail of this authoritarian leader. It is necessary to immediately assess the impact of the tariffs imposed by Trump: direct threat to the sovereignty of our peoples, threat to the economy and employment and threat to international law.
