What Ondřej spoke about.

Mr President, let me say a few words about the elections, about democracy and about hypocrisy. The Union economy is failing desperately against both China and the United States, but this Parliament has nothing to do but to interfere in elections both in foreign non-member states, as we have heard, and in its own. We will also vote on Georgia this week. The voters there are not anti-European, they want peace and prosperity, they do not want war and decay. They remember the bitter times of Saakashvili, they look at Zelenskyy Ukraine, they see how it turned out, and they don't want to have another battlefield out of their country, another sacrificed pawn. I was in Georgia personally, talking to politicians from both sides. Let us please leave the review of the Georgian elections to the Georgian electoral judiciary and show respect. If we want to fix something, let's start here with ourselves, here in the Union. Negotiations on the Commissioners took place behind the scenes. The President of the Commission has still not faced the case Pfizergate. Most of them are completely undemocratic. cordon sanitaire denies the opposition the opportunity to participate in parliamentary work. We can be glad that, for example, the Georgian Parliament does not approve critical resolutions about us. Let's make this right this week.

Madam President, thank you for opening up this topic. We live in a country where pro-government activists on networks wished death or COVID concentration camp to anyone who refused to wear masks in the forest or who wanted to run in the park in the evening. We live in a country where there is no punishment for saying that old people voting for the conservative left have to die out in order for the right progressive forces to win, that old people are stupid and uneducated and should vote under the supervision where the video "Persue Granny, Persuade Grandpa" was shot. We live in a country where the government has hired an army colonel for strategic communication, a rude and vulgar one who calls opponents swine and scum, and where even the smiling members of this parliament speak of opposition MPs as brooms, Mrs Neruda, or dirt, Mrs Gregor. We live in a country where the British and American embassies, including National Endowment for Democracy They fund nonprofit organizations that deliberately defame opponents of the pro-government narrative. All this translates into an extreme environment on social networks, where democratic debate is almost impossible. Older Czechs are resistant to propaganda thanks to history, but unfortunately young people are radicalizing. I would therefore like to call on the Czech Government, embassies of foreign powers and fellow MEPs from this place to spread the word. hate speech they're done.

Madam President, the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon is present pursuant to a resolution of the Security Council, and under the UN Charter, everybody has a duty to carry out the decisions of the Security Council. But two weeks ago, Annalena Baerbock, the German Foreign Minister – and a Green – suggested it is now Germany's position that Israeli attacks on civilian centres are acceptable, as a matter of 'self-defence', to achieve the goal of 'destroying' terrorists. The position of Czech Government, mostly related to PPE, is similarly shameful. Ladies and gentlemen, nothing in war is black and white. But few things in international law are easier, clearer, than the distinction between combatants and non-combatants. Attacking the UN peacekeepers is an abomination, which was in past perpetrated by terrorists, but never by state actors and members of the United Nations. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why I and eight other Members have submitted a motion calling on Israel to desist from these attacks and to fulfil its obligations under international law. Thanks for everybody in the room supporting this position.

Mr President, ladies and gentlement, you speak a lot about Russian interference in Georgia, but EU leaders are now conducting a huge intervention in the Georgian election themselves, questioning the results before it even happens, questioning whether the right party wins. That means if Georgian Dream wins, it is wrong. If opposition loses, it is wrong. Isn't this a hypocrisy? I doubt that the EU should intervene in the internal politics of its Member States, like Hungary or Slovakia. I am completely sure that the EU should not interfere in domestic affairs of Georgia. Most Georgians want to cooperate with the EU, but they also do business with China. They also do not want to get in war with Russia. It was it would be very destructive for them, like in the case of Ukraine. I think instead of meddling into Georgian affairs, we should understand that the Georgians know their interests better than we do.

You called the laws pro-Russian. What's wrong with foreign influence laws? The United States has had FARA since 1938, Australia has had FITS since 2018. The European Commission wanted to prevent foreign influences and prepared legislation to do so. How is this legislation being prepared by the European Commission less pro-Russian than what Georgia has done?

My colleague, I understand your position, only what you will say about the position of the two high courts - both the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice in The Hague - which quite unequivocally labelled what some Israeli government ministers are unfortunately doing as incitement to genocide?

Madam President, we should be careful when we hear 'disinformation' or 'fake news', because it is usually only a nicer word for censorship. Some politicians just don't like it when people express opinions. Do you remember public TV in times of COVID? We were told that we must close schools and churches. We were told that we must segregate the unvaccinated. We are still being told that buying vaccines from Pfizer was the best idea. Due to suppressing critique, the governments were able to make and keep wrong decisions. In democracy we cannot have governments or unelected commissioners saying what is right and what is wrong. It is up to the people. Hillary Clinton said recently that social media must be regulated or we will lose total control. This shows what it is really about. It is about control. It is a power grab by failing mainstream parties carrying out an attack on the right to disagree.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the majority here is critical of Hungary's national card programme for workers from eight countries who are undergoing strict pre-accession checks. Critics, however, immediately assume that those of these workers who are Russians or Belarusians pose a security risk. This is the application of the principle of collective guilt. For me, given the history of our region, completely unacceptable, unfortunately now again common among the so-called liberals. This criticism comes at a time of irregular and irregular migration, when the borders of the European Union are being crossed by masses of people who are completely undocumented, completely unchecked. This also applies to the recent wave of refugees, when, according to a report by the Czech Ministry of the Interior, organized criminals, the so-called. rafts at the root They're not mafia bosses. This makes it much easier than a work visa for any terrorist or spy to enter the European Union. Let us therefore abandon the politically motivated bullying of Hungary and try, in the interests of the security of our voters, to control all migration to Europe at least as well as Hungary intends to implement its programme of work visa recipients.

Mr President, colleagues, the conflict in Ukraine does not have a military solution, but only a diplomatic one. Two years of war after the failure of the Istanbul negotiations brought nothing but hundreds of thousands of deaths and trillions of dollars of damage. Further military support, including the currently considered use of long-range missiles, creates a threat of escalation and direct participation of European Union states in the war. Citizens have not given us a mandate to do so. Our delegation Enough! was elected on the basis of a clear peace programme, and the parties with a clear anti-war stance also succeeded in other recent elections. Even hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in the European Union are now not interested in returning and fighting at the front. Others, on the other hand, are trying to flee Ukraine from recruiters. War escalation is the worst of the bad solutions that now remain. The best thing is to negotiate peace, to restore economic cooperation in Eastern Europe, because only this can bring the prosperity necessary, among other things, to rebuild Ukraine. That is why we should support, not criticize, the Hungarian Presidency and Prime Minister Orban, who is able to act both in Kiev and Moscow, both in Washington and Beijing. The way forward is diplomacy leading to peace, not arms supplies and not war escalation. This is the opinion of our constituents.
