The abduction, forced conversion and child marriage of Maria Shahbaz and the protection of girls in Pakistan

Madam President, Iqbal Masih, a slave child murdered in Pakistan, 13 years old, Maria Shahbaz, a Christian girl forcibly converted to Islam, forcibly married to her kidnapper, 12 years old. Hundreds of kidnappings, hundreds of forced conversions, forced marriages of child martyrs, sacrificed in culpable indifference or with the active complicity of the relays of Islamism. This indifference is also…

The 28th Regime: a new legal framework for innovative companies (debate)

Madam President, for almost 20 years the European Union has been trying to get its hands on our company law, our tax law and our social law. This is now done with this very dangerous ‘28th regime’. You announce that this project will allow companies to locate in all Member States when they want to operate in Europe. I will now explain to you why all this is both serious and false. You will first p…

Mr President, your democratic shield, Commissioner, is supposed to fight against the polarisation of political life.

Commission Work Programme 2026 (debate)

Mr President, let us not be afraid of words, the Commission's work programme for 2026 is schizophrenic and delusional.

Need for a strong European Democracy Shield to enhance democracy, protect the EU from foreign interference and hybrid threats, and protect electoral processes in the EU (debate)

Madam President, the democratic shield is a decoy. It is presented as a bulwark against hybrid interference and threats, but let us not be mistaken. Behind this protective façade lies a far more insidious threat to our fundamental freedoms. Who will decide what constitutes interference? What is a hybrid threat? This shield is actually a massive censorship tool that will muzzle dissenting voices un…

Thank you for your suggestions, my dear colleague, thank you. I would like to point out that I am a specialist in freedom of opinion under the Soviet regime.

Fortunately, there were people like Solzhenitsyn, who were hidden, and wrote, and told the truth, and found their readership.…

State of play of implementation of the European Media Freedom Act in the Member States (debate)

Dear colleague, thank you for your question. I have only one answer for you: The only regulator is the reader. And you see, in France as elsewhere, the traditional media, if they did not have subsidies, would not live. Why? Because their content, which is uniform and totally politically oriented, is no longer of interest to readers. That is why it is the media that are on the internet, alternative…

State of play of implementation of the European Media Freedom Act in the Member States (debate)

Mr President, may I remind you that the regulation we are talking about on the so-called freedom of the media is in fact one of the pillars of the European Union’s policy of freedom of expression. By establishing itself as the sole regulatory body for media control, the European Union is equipping itself with a dangerous tool that muzzles opinions that disturb it, as in Hungary or Romania.
