The need for an EU strategy to counter Islamist entryism and the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood network (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, today we are commemorating the massacres committed by Hamas on 7 October, and yet the European Union is still letting its own institutions become areas of influence for the Muslim Brotherhood. This summer – that is to say, years after the first warnings that Jean-Paul Garraud had already sent to you in writing and on several occasions – the Comm…

Céline Imart, you talk about Bruno Retailleau and narcotrafficking in France: yesterday, the presumption of self-defence was adopted in the National Assembly. We're finally gonna believe our cops before the thugs. But for a year, Mr Retailleau was in Beauvau: reform of the judicial police, recruitment of POJs, payment of overtime, simplification of the criminal procedure, but also minimum penaltie…

Listen, dear colleague, corruption is a fight that we all have to fight, but the majority of our police, gendarmes, prison officers, intelligence services and military do an exceptional job. I want to say it again here: the problem is not mainly corruption in our democracies, they are thugs who have been left to do too much and who have benefited from judicial laxity, political laxity, cowardice ……

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in the face of drug trafficking, we no longer need words but actions, because behind every intercepted cargo there is now bloodshed in our European cities. The European Union finally seems to be aware of the scale of the threat.

An EU future for the Western Balkans (joint debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I am not going to do the belly dance, Madam, but I am not going to pretend. For us, enlargement is no, and I will explain why. Because, first of all, the European Union is a kind of big colocation, which we already have difficulty with at 27, and therefore enlargement would be difficult. So I wanted to be precise, because I like to be technical …

Dear colleague, I heard you on digital platforms. In Marseille, a 14-year-old boy executed a taxi driver, Nessim, 36, in October 2024. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison. So I'm quite amazed at the "blessed yes" speeches we hear here. I think that in this Chamber I am the only one who has been a police officer for 20 years in the difficult neighbourhoods of France.
