Recruitment of children by organised crime (debate)

Madam President, it is very good to do this deliberation on the exploitation of minors in organized crime. But what would be even better is that the European Union does not facilitate this exploitation, precisely. Because, yes, today, states are disarmed to fight drug cartels and you do nothing to help them, on the contrary. I read your 2021 anti-drug strategy. Your main means of combating drug tr…

Just for the record, there are already at least 85% of French people aged 18-24 who use AI, 73% of those aged 25-39. In fact, you really have two late trains. The role of politics, th…

Madam President, frankly, I have rarely seen such an above ground debate.

The right to live in peace without being threatened every four mornings by their Azerbaijani and Turkish neighbors, as they have…

Mr President, two months ago, the Chief of Staff of the French Armed Forces, Fabien Mandon, supported by Emmanuel Macron, said that we had to agree to lose our children in order to go to war. These remarks are shocking, but above all they show a worrying lack of anticipation about what the war of tomorrow will be, and even what it already is.

But today, if you are a football fan and want to follow the main competitions, you must have at least four different subsc…
