Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 26 June 2025 (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, everywhere in our countries, the anger of the people is raging. This is becoming worrying for the stability of the European Union and even for our democracies. Our people feel that the Europe they love is built against them and not for them. They need to be given back the pride of being Europeans as a matter of urgency. This will go through several ways. Euro…

Combating the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and child sexual abuse material and replacing Council Framework Decision 2004/68/JHA (recast) (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, this directive represents significant progress and should be welcomed. To protect children, however, we will need to do more. First, the services provided by platforms, whose evil algorithms are weapons that trap children: they can be assimilated to products and must be qualified as such. We will then be able to mobilize our legal arsenal for de…

Situation of European academics and researchers in the US and the impact on academic freedom (debate)

Ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the US administration’s attacks on science and academic freedom have led to massive layoffs of researchers, and the climate is pushing others to self-censor. The repercussions are international. Collaborative research projects are concerned. As Luc Ferry, former French Minister for Education and Research, puts it very well, science is inherently democratic, whic…

Union of Skills: striving for more and better opportunities to study, train or work in the EU and to bring our talents back home (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu, this dossier requires a comprehensive approach. Too many variables are left out. Failure starts at a young age. What is the role of parents? Do they accompany their children in their schooling or hinder them? What are we doing about this? Nothing. What do we do about the problem of the bad climate in the classroom, which hinders…

The need to address urgent labour shortages and ensure quality jobs in the health care sector (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, for want of vision, Europe, the land of so many medical geniuses, is no longer capable of caring for its own. The ageing of the population and the massive influx of immigrant populations have led to a sharp increase in health needs, a predictable phenomenon. What to do? Shorten the training of doctors, which varies from 5 to 10 years depending on t…

Addressing EU demographic challenges: towards the implementation of the 2023 Demography Toolbox (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the major demographic challenge requires a determined response. What are the barriers to parenting? Economic uncertainty, financial insecurity, excessive rents, difficult access to property, infertility problems, growing insecurity and eco-anxiety. All this pushes more and more young people to give up having children. What should we do? Putting dem…

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

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Parliament is giving lessons in democracy to the whole world, but is it credible in this role? The answer is no. It violates the fundamental principles of democracy. Defending democracy means respecting universal suffrage and pluralism. Here, the d’Hondt system was breached, and our colleague Roman Haider was prevented from chairing the Committee on…

The arrest of the Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal and the call for his immediate and unconditional release, and the repression of freedom of speech in Algeria (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Boualem Sansal is a brother, a friend. He has never felt an ounce of hatred towards anyone, much less towards Algeria and the Algerians he deeply loves. What is happening to him is based on a terrible misunderstanding that we must succeed in removing. Boualem is an Algerian citizen and a French citizen. We owe him assistance and protection and that is why, from …

The rise of religious intolerance in Europe (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, how much religious intolerance are we talking about? As early as September 1991, European migration ministers warned that, for many immigrants, cultural identity was largely confused with religion and that problems could arise when immigrants' religious practices were contrary to the traditions of the host society. The real question, then, is the hierarchy of…
