11th year of the occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol by the Russian Federation and the deteriorating human rights situation in occupied Crimea, notably the cases of Iryna Danylovych, Tofik Abdulhaziiev and Amet Suleymanov

Mr President. Hello, it seems to me that we are wasting our time, just like many others. Why this empty resolution? Who doesn't know that Crimea and Ukraine are occupied? Is the fact that we will adopt some resolution here or hold a debate less persecuting people in Crimea by Putin's regime? Definitely not! I am asking you, for the second time in this rostrum, to hear the President of Ukraine, Zelenskyy. Not through resolutions, but through real works, you give him the funding he is asking for. You give them the weapons they ask for. You let those guns defend you. And you are accepting empty meaningless resolutions. Who needs this? Governors, think once in a while! Waiting for America – what will Trump say? Can you defend yourself and provide the right support?

Need to ensure swift action and transparency on corruption allegations in the public sector to protect democratic integrity (debate)

Mr President, there is a folk proverb that the fish is rotting from the head. I have just asked the representative of the ruling majority whether that institution is capable of fighting corruption, which appoints a Commission person to the Presidents of the Commission who is suspected of having links – illegal – with Pfizer, amounting to EUR 35 billion. It also appoints three other top European Commission officials who are also suspected of being corrupt. I think that such an institution and this ruling majority will certainly not solve corruption problems, and these corruption problems will only increase. Honourable Commissioner, I am very sorry that you are in a very unenviable situation and that you will certainly not be allowed to tackle the corruption problem with determination.

Need to ensure swift action and transparency on corruption allegations in the public sector to protect democratic integrity (debate)

Honourable Commissioner, the ruling majority of the European Parliament has appointed a Honourable Commissioner, who is suspected of a thirty-five billion euro deal with Pfizer, possibly illegitimate. You have also appointed three other suspected officials to the highest positions. Will this ruling majority, which so irresponsibly appoints officials, be able to fight corruption?

Challenges facing EU farmers and agricultural workers: improving working conditions, including their mental well-being (debate)

Mr President. I had one idea, shouldn't there be a basic price for agricultural production? Especially for small farmers, because they are not able to negotiate with large buyers, because they are quite weak. The higher the level of payments, the lower the prices paid to them by purchasers. Wouldn't that be right? As you are the rulers, would you not be able to consider this idea, which I think would be a great help to farmers.

Tackling abusive subcontracting and labour market intermediaries (debate)

Mr President, honourable rapporteur, although it is also possible to speak to the rapporteur, because you all speak roughly the same way about how terrible employers are, how they exploit people. Today, there are many jobs in Europe. Let the employee choose the company that will not use it. And one more thing: no one is forcibly taking you to work. You see, it is possible to make some adjustments to the legislation, to the labor codes. But in principle everything is bad, which is certainly not the case in Europe.

Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

Mr President, there is a lot of talk here about brainwashing. I lived in the Soviet Union for thirty years, teaching what communism is, but I didn't believe it. I was not a member of any organization. But those who sit here now, many of them were secrets of the Soviet Union. We have become members of the European Union. They are the secrets of the European Union. They serve systems. Confess it. I want to say one more thing: in Lithuania, according to sociological surveys, 80% of people are afraid to say what they think. Is that democracy? It was also in Soviet times. Tell the truth that you... if other presidential candidates were elected in Romania, there would be no such consideration. There is a funeral for democracy. Take that stand where you go to Parliament and say, put a dictatorship instead of democracy. That booth. There is no democracy here. There is no democracy in Lithuania or in Europe.

Toppling of the Syrian regime, its geopolitical implications and the humanitarian situation in the region (debate)

Ladies and gentlemen, you have just said that Europe has done little to overthrow Assad. But now that Assad has been overthrown, for some reason Israel, American forces and European forces have started bombing Israel every day. Is this help now for those who came to power and overthrew Israel... Assad? People are dying, children are dying, infrastructure is being destroyed and Europe is silent. How do you assess this situation?

Need to adopt an ambitious international legally binding agreement on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment

I would like to ask you as a representative of the ruling party. Speaking of the debate, it seems to me that you are only struggling with the consequences, but you are not struggling with the cause. You have probably seen yourself many times when you want to buy something small, whether it's a USB or something, it's a tiny thing, and it's packed in a ten times bigger package. Why don't you have the problem of having all the items you produce packed in smaller packages?

Strengthening children’s rights in the EU - 35th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (debate)

Dear Europe, you are killing your children, you are morally killing them. I grew up in the Soviet system, but I didn't know who the homosexual was. When I regained my independence, I understood: He taught his children in school that it was good. In Scripture 118 times God condemns homosexuality as perversion, and the Apostle Matthew says... Christ says in the Gospel of the Apostle Matthew: whoever is outraged will set a bad example for at least one of the little ones, for which there is misery. He would rather take a donkey-turned millstone, tie himself around his neck, and drown himself in the sea. Europe, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah awaits you. And don't laugh - you throw God in the trash and stand up for God yourself!

Critical infrastructure vulnerabilities and hybrid threats in the Baltic Sea (debate)

Mr President, in the Baltic Sea, cutting cables is probing Russia, what will be the reaction of the countries of the European Union and NATO. I want to say that Europe is not taking any action: the ship has not been stopped, the captain has not been questioned and continues to do whatever he wants. The European Union is weak. So why not be bullied if the European Union allows itself to be bullied? Let us now return briefly to the war in Ukraine. So why not go to war if the European Union allows war: He does not give as many weapons to Ukraine as Zelensky asks, does not accept into the European Union what Zelensky asks, does not accept into NATO what Zelensky asks. You are immersed in debates and resolutions, but you do not make fundamental decisions. I am delighted that today I did not vote for the ruling majority, for it is hesitant and unprincipled, and for it to be ridiculed by Mr Putin.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (debate)

There can be no violence at all. Violence is evil and must be fought. And according to your question to me and today's debate, it seems that only men are perpetrators and men are the worst evil. That is not the case. Evil is violence.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. Listening to this debate gives the impression that only men are perpetrators of violence and only women cannot be abused. I say that violence is not allowed against a child, a man, an elderly person or even a disabled person. Violence must be said no. And it can not be sorted, even against an animal can not be abused. But I find the European Union very strange: When French boxing competitions were held and when men beat women, the whole of Europe rejoices. Where are you going, Europe? What are you aiming for? Men cannot compare themselves to women with their own strength. Surely, I think we should not divide men, women, children, or grandparents. There can be no violence and let us put the point on violence by all sorts of means: educational, punitive measures.

Abuse of new technologies to manipulate and radicalise young people through hate speech and antidemocratic discourse (debate)

Mr President, hello, I am the last political prisoner of the Soviet Union. Because I fought against communism, against this ideology, I was imprisoned in Soviet labor camps. Today, after Lithuania regained its independence, a new ideology is once again being created: a genderist ideology that is worse than a communist ideology. And those who defend Christian values, oppose genderism, they are persecuted by the European Union, they are on trial. Don't give up on God, on Facebook or on social media, your Christian position that it's a crime, it's homosexuality. You will be judged. I was also sued in Lithuania for reading Paul's letter to the Romans. Where are we going? The same dictatorship created in Europe, not communism, but some kind of genderism and under the guise of human rights. We are going, Europe, to self-destruction. Because we give up our values, we accept some perverted ideology. When the Soviet Union comes to an end, the European Union will also come to an end if it does not change its ideology and prohibit free speech, but rather Christians from professing and expressing their faith.

The devastating floods in Central and Eastern Europe, the loss of lives and the EU’s preparedness to act on such disasters exacerbated by climate change (debate)

Mr President, rapporteur. I would like to ask you in person – all MEPs and not only. The Apostle Luke says in his Gospel that without God's knowledge no hair will fall from a person's head. He continues to speak: ‘When a people turns away from God, God will punish the people.’ Europe betrays Christian values. And not just Europe. He turned away from God, promoting genderism and homosexuality. Isn't this God's punishment for Europe? (The President interrupts the speaker)

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

Mr President, I wanted to ask you, is there anyone in the room who believes that the best intelligence in the world, Mossad, was unaware of the large-scale invasion of Israel? I also want to ask you why the Israeli government and army allowed the killing of their civilians for 10 hours without taking action. Or is it a very well-planned provocation so that Israel can do what it is doing in the Gaza Strip today? And to justify the world community? Don't you think so? Children, civilians, mothers, grandparents are killed. Civil facilities and hospitals are being destroyed. And all this is done by the government of Israel, and the world is silent. The European Union must immediately recognise the Palestinian state, withdraw, demand the release of all hostages taken by Hamas.
