Motion of censure on the Commission (debate)

Madam President, Madam President von der Leyen, ladies and gentlemen, Europe deserves better than silence, better than opacity, better than bureaucratic authoritarianism. For six years now, you have been leading this Commission with a Jupitian verticality, cut off from realities, cut off from peoples, cut off even too often from the values that founded our continent. Pfizergate is not an administr…

Safeguarding the rule of law in Spain, ensuring an independent and autonomous prosecutor's office to fight crime and corruption (debate)

Mr President, while Qatargate splattered the European left, it is now the turn of Spain's socialist power to be at the centre of a major corruption scandal. A recent investigation report of nearly 500 pages has highlighted a widespread system of bribes between relatives of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and entrepreneurs. However, the case does not end there: his wife is herself under inve…

The Commission’s 2024 Rule of Law report (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, the European Commission, supported by the left, is using its annual report on the rule of law situation in the Member States to impose its Wokist ideology and put pressure on right-wing governments. While there is no clear and precise definition of this concept of the rule of law, Brussels is using its non-compliance as a pretext to deprive Hungary and, in the past, …

Statement by the President - 40th anniversary of the Schengen area agreement

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union is celebrating 40 years of the Schengen Agreement, but what exactly are we celebrating? The programmed failure of a system incapable of protecting peoples. This system, originally based on international cooperation, was however based on a simple idea: free movement could only exist if the external borders were strictly protected. This promi…

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)

I listened well, I heard well, I also went to Israel and I heard victims, survivors. In my speech, I spoke about humanitarian aid and said that, if the European Union is to play a useful role, it must ensure that it is able to allow humanitarian aid access, but it must also ensure that this humanitarian aid is not diverted by Hamas. War is always something terrible; There are victims, innocent vic…

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)

592 days ago, on October 7, 2023, Hamas revealed the most abject face of fanaticism: families massacred, women raped, children abducted and then executed with bare hands like the little Kfir Bibas. That day, humanity wavered. To this day, 58 hostages are still being held in Hamas tunnels. Only 20 are confirmed alive. It's been 592 days. Israel, like any free nation, has the right to live in securi…

Madam President, let us look at what is happening in Hungary, but also in France. For years, Viktor Orbán has been accused of flouting the rule of law and muzzling the opposition, controlling the media: Brussels indignant, threat of sanctions. But when this real muzzling happens in France, it is total silence. Today, Marine Le Pen, the candidate of millions of French people, is prevented from runn…

Five hundred and forty-three days of anguish and suffering. In Israel, we have seen the unspeakable: women raped before being massacred, families annihilated, children torn from their parents.

Mr President, in a hundred days, the new von der Leyen Commission is showing a worrying inconsistency.
