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 trafficking was prevention and the search for causality. So I'll help you, for causality, it's pretty simple: earn a lot of money very quickly, with very few legal consequences, and not even at all, for minors. And for prevention, I assure you that it is useless to prevent drug traffickers than to recruit minors, it is wrong, nor to warn minors that selling drugs is wrong. I swear, they know it. No, the only way to combat drug trafficking is the fear of a systematic and heavy sanction. Drug traffickers must once again fear the state and young people must no longer be persuaded that they are not risking anything. You are doing the exact opposite by drastically limiting the room for manoeuvre of our police officers and the prison apparatus, and by opposing closed educational centres for minors. And if we add your vision of opening borders without controls that facilitates the import of drugs, you contribute directly to the mexicanization of Europe and France.

Opportunities and challenges presented by a comprehensive artificial intelligence strategy for EU trade (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, do you not feel that you are completely useless? I summarize: you report to explain to European and French companies that they would be more competitive with AI. wow! What a scoop! 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, that is why we are committed, it is to anticipate, it is to have ideas; otherwise we're useless, we're just small managers. The idea would have been, for example, to make this report five years ago, anticipating support for European AI, anticipating the explosion of demand for AI. data centers or by anticipating energy needs. With such a report, perhaps all of us would now use the French Mistral AI instead of ChatGPT or Grok. But no, you preferred to regulate AI when it imposed itself on us, you preferred to defend the end of nuclear power in favour of wind turbines. You have done nothing to solve our component dependencies. You are always next to the plate. A very concrete example: I was talking to a Stellantis manager last October. I asked him if they were investing heavily in the autonomous car with AI, which is the real technological breakthrough of the future. Answer: No, we don’t have the means. Honestly, we already have too much to do with European standards and the end of thermal. Fortunately, since then, they have partnered with Nvidia, Uber and Bolt, but for projects that bring us to 2028-2029. In California and China, by the time we talk there, we can already take a Waymo or Baidu taxi completely autonomous to go home. Want to use AI to boost our competitiveness? All right, all right. But already, stop harassing our companies with your standards and regulations. This will prevent us from having another unnecessary report in five years' time.

Supporting democratic resilience in Armenia (debate)

Madam President, frankly, I have rarely seen such an above ground debate. In all your resolutions, it is good, you talk about democratic progress, about the evolution of the rule of law in Armenia, but the real right that the Armenians demand is the right to live simply. The right to live in peace without being threatened every four mornings by their Azerbaijani and Turkish neighbors, as they have been for more than a century. You went to see the refugee camps in Armenia? Because I went there. Go and discuss democratic resilience, as some say before me, with these men, these women, these children who had to abandon their homes and the land of their ancestors, driven out by Azerbaijani soldiers. All they care about is finding their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh, not the punctures and empty concepts here of the European Parliament's Eurocrats. You ask me, Mrs Loiseau, you say that you want to support, precisely, this democratic Armenia. So stop buying gas from Azerbaijan, demand the return of the 140 km ² of Armenian territories occupied by Baku, demand the right of return of the Nagorno-Karabakh refugees to their homes. Finally, put a definitive end to the process of Turkey's accession to the European Union by Erdoğan, Baku's main ally and who has, I recall, never acknowledged the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians and, there, you will be consistent, like all those here.

Drones and new systems of warfare – the EU’s need to adapt to be fit for today’s security challenges (debate)

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. Today, a multi-million-euro tank is destroyed by a simple drone, barely worth a thousand. Today, dozens of soldiers die helplessly in a few minutes under a rain of grenades dropped by small drones. Tomorrow, only poor or downgraded countries will send their youth to die. The major powers will fight with land, naval and air drones, for the sake of saving lives, but also for efficiency. Ukraine and Russia each have 4 million drones, China 8 million. The United States is planning an additional 1 million per year to close the gap. And we, France, the first army in Europe, ordered only 1,000 in 2025. The war of tomorrow will be decided by the number of 4.0 factories, which we will have, not by the number of standards or the number of kids who will shed their blood.

Online piracy of sports and other live events: urgent need to address unsolved issues (debate)

Mr President, yes, of course, piracy sites streaming in football are a scourge, and everything must be done to combat them. But the root causes of piracy can be questioned. In my country, France, twenty years ago, with Canal+, for 25 euros, you had access to all paid football. But today, if you are a football fan and want to follow the main competitions, you must have at least four different subscriptions: Canal+, beIN Sports, DAZN and, therefore, the small last of the league, Ligue 1+. Almost 100 euros per month! The multiplication of platforms and costs does not come from nowhere. Clubs are dependent on TV rights to finance themselves. The leagues are obliged to ask for more and more, to the point that Ligue 1 can no longer even find a broadcaster at the price requested and that it had to create its own channel, removing the nationality criteria. Competition between European clubs is total and only financial. To exist, clubs are always spending more, and, at the end of the chain, it is football enthusiasts who pay for subscriptions as numerous as they are expensive. So, yes, let's fight piracy by any means possible. But to really put an end to this piracy, it is necessary that the game is no longer worth the candle and come out of this football governed solely by money.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, before you fly to the other side of the world in your social cocktails in Belém to discuss your new carbon taxes and your renewable energies that will further explode energy costs and your future delusional standards, I will bring you back to something very concrete. We have just learned that France has broken a sad record this year. In one year, there have been more than 60,000 business failures, including 6,800 in September alone. Our SMEs are the most impacted, with an increase of more than 13% in procedures in 12 months. It is simple, we are witnessing the slow death of our jobs and our productive apparatus, in short, of our future. We were promised a Europe of peace and prosperity. We finally have a real third-worldization of France, as our short-lived Prime Minister Bayrou said. Macronists, socialists and republicans, you have entrusted our future to Brussels technocrats above ground. This is your record. Your COP30 will only make the problem worse.

Renewing the EU-Africa Partnership: building common priorities ahead of the Angola Summit (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, you are talking about cooperation with Africa and African partners, but above all you are paternalistic about this great continent. A real commercial relationship requires the search for common interests, mutual development, equality. But you are not looking for any of this, you enslave a continent by flooding it with aid and investments for which we will never see the counterpart. You are not even able to negotiate the takeover of the illegal immigrants we want to expel. Worse! As you said earlier, you are facilitating legal immigration. Brussels takes money from the French and Europeans. It distributes blindly, in purely local projects that should be the responsibility of African states. By putting this continent under tutelage, you are not developing it, you are submitting it. As in the time of colonization, you impoverish Europeans and infantilize Africans by curbing their emancipation. You support them in the idea that their future is either to wait for European money or to immigrate to Europe. Believing that Africans must be systematically dependent on Europeans as big children is akin to the worst of racism. Racism of contempt.

Role of EU policies in shaping the European Sport Model (debate)

Mr President, sport is alive. I'm going to talk to you about something very concrete. On Sunday, a week ago, I was playing football with my son. Then, on his way home, he said to me: “I would like to see a match, too.” We put on the TV and there was the AS Roma match against Hellas Verona. He asks me: "Which country?" I said to him: "They are Italians." We see the players of Hellas Verona and he asks me: Is he an Italian? Is he an Italian? And I myself realize that in fact, there was only one Italian left in the team of Hellas Verona, at a time when this club is bought by an American pension fund; One more club that is bought by an American pension fund in Series A. But this is what we live in many European countries. So, can we really say that a football club is really from a country if ten players out of eleven are no longer from that country and if it is owned by an American, Saudi or Qatari fund, as at home at PSG? This is the question posed by millions of European supporters, who have less and less reference points. With the Bosman judgment and the Cotonou agreements, the European Union has made sport a market, with money as the sole criterion of competition between clubs, since there are no longer quotas for national players as was the case before. Players and pension funds change clubs and shirts. And the only ones rooted in the midst of this total commodification are the supporters, who in turn are seen as mere consumers. In this report, you are aware of it – and you are also aware of it, because when I listened to you, I often agreed, and it is rare here, in the European Parliament. So, I say, it's true, I agreed. But, as usual, I do not see anything very concrete to make this report have a real impact on sport. Yes, it is necessary that the majority of the capital of a club is held by national actors, like the German model of the "50+1", so that they do not belong in majority to foreign pension funds. Yes, it is necessary to impose a quota of players trained in the country of the club in order to preserve the formation, the proximity and the link with those who follow the sport. We must defend a rooted, balanced and fair club sport, not a hunting ground for investors and countries in need of notoriety. Sport is not a commodity, it is an identity, a culture and a fundamental social bond.

Summer of heatwaves in the EU: addressing the causes and providing adequate housing and health policies to address record-breaking temperatures (debate)

Mr President, what can you be hypocritical about global warming! You are the main cause. In my country, France, 51% of greenhouse gas emissions are due to imports. The logic would therefore be that we develop our national markets and that we relocate our industries to reduce these imports. But Mme von der Leyen makes the exact opposite. After the agreement with New Zealand in 2023, which is, I recall, just 20,000 kilometers from Paris, it has just signed the free trade agreement with Mercosur which, in addition to sacrificing our farmers, drastically increases our imports and therefore explodes our greenhouse gas emissions. That's the main cause of warming! But you prefer to hit motorists or deprive modest families of their gas boilers while imposing ever more expensive electricity through intermittent energies. Shame on you! Want to fight the causes of heat waves? I propose a solution: Leave the power, it would really make us look.

2023 and 2024 reports on Bosnia and Herzegovina (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I have just heard you talk about the situation in Bosnia, and you say that it is obviously in Bosnia’s interest to join the European Union. But I want to ask you a question: What is the role of the European Union? What is the objective of the European Union? The European Union is normally a large area that should serve us commercially, that should serve us to be more powerful. This has already been seen in the past, when some countries have been incorporated and their standard of living has not greatly improved – the SMIC in Bulgaria is still at EUR 500. In Bosnia, the SMIC is 400 euros, so the question I ask myself is: by wanting to incorporate countries by imagining that they will live like home, are we not going to live more and more as in Bosnia, precisely, or as in countries further east that you still want to bring in? The situation in Bosnia, which I know well, is of course of particular concern to me, as are all of you. There is indeed a global influence of organized crime and mafias. In Bosnia, there is also the influence of Qatar, there is Saudi influence, there is Turkish influence. Many see it as an area they want to enslave. And I think it is very, very dangerous to bring Bosnia back into the European Union, with this type of country that today has a real influence, which corrupts many people. Because no, we don’t know where the money is going, and yes, I think that today there are a lot of mafiosi running Bosnia.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I do not know if you are keeping the accounts, but you have already given Albania more than EUR 2 billion since 2007.

You admit this yourself in your reports: Albania is plagued by corruption, the freedom of the press is violated, and it is a real hub of organised crime in Europe according to Europol. This country has everything from a rogue state and its accession to the European Union would seriously endanger the security of our nations. By admitting it among us, you open even more doors to the worst of prostitution, big banditry, organ trafficking and mafias. What conclusions do you draw from this catastrophic finding? You want to give them even more: An additional EUR 922 million, EUR 922 million, which we know from experience will unfortunately not change the disastrous situation in this country and will end up partly in the pockets of oligarchs and mafiosi. In which world is a candidate funded to take an entrance exam knowing that he or she is not ready?

Electricity grids: the backbone of the EU energy system (debate)

Mr President, since February 2020, electricity prices have risen by 33%, according to Eurostat. In my country, France, they even increased by 53.85% over the same period. A Frenchman who paid 200 euros of electricity in 2020 must now pay 307 euros in 2025. And in 2026, the rise will accelerate with the ARENH II. Behind these figures that I spread out, there are families who can no longer heat up in the winter and who must monitor the slightest expense, or even cut back on their shopping budget so as not to end up in the red. You could draw consequences from the mistakes in energy production by supporting wind and photovoltaics which turn out to be a mistake, but no, you continue and this text will further worsen the impoverishment of the French people. By supporting the development of decentralized electricity networks in Europe, you know full well that they are not compatible with nuclear power plants, which nevertheless produce clean, affordable and abundant energy that allowed the French to pay for the cheapest electricity in Europe. You assume that you want to replace them with wind turbines and solar panels that are too expensive and work every other day. Finally, you close your eyes to the exorbitant costs that will affect the portfolio of the French and Europeans. Because yes, it will be necessary to connect them, these wind turbines and these panels. And that's expensive. Everything shows that this decentralization raises the price of electricity. In short, you choose to sacrifice our peoples in favor of an ideology as crazy as it is suicidal. We, the MEPs of the National Rally, will always defend the interests of the French and their purchasing power. Don't count on us to help you betray them.

Resilience and the need to improve the interconnection of energy grid infrastructure in the EU: the first lessons from the blackout in the Iberian Peninsula (debate)

Millions of people who found themselves in the dark, for lack of light, because of these solar power plants. And what does Brussels offer? More and more renewable energies, solar and wind, despite their cost, their lack of productivity and their intermittency that everyone begins to observe. You are snubbing nuclear power and choosing an energy that is too expensive, unreliable and only ideological, while your policies are in the direction of a general electrification, for example with the prohibition of the thermal vehicle, precisely in favor of the electric vehicle. We'll have to choose between the two. You are unconscious ideologues, it is crazy that you do not see this inconsistency!

Action Plan for the Automotive Industry (debate)

Madam President, the world of tomorrow will probably consist of self-driving and hyper-connected cars. You acknowledge this and plan to facilitate empowerment, harmonise rules and set common standards. However, the real question is: How will these new cars run? You take everything in disorder: you advocate all-electricity, without the French and European industrial ecosystems being ready for it and without the ability to produce affordable and efficient electric motors. By forcing Europeans to switch to electric, you are forcing them to pay more for their car, to charge their vehicle for less kilometres than with thermal, which is more expensive electricity, because of your pro-wind ideology. A hundred years ago, progress – real progress, technological progress – enabled the French to move from the cart to the car. One hundred years later, your ideological progress will force a majority of French people to give up the car, without any alternative. Progress has always allowed humans to live better. Now, because of you, it is synonymous with impoverishment and decline.

Clean Industrial Deal (debate)

Madam President, Europe has invented almost everything: the car, the mobile phone or, more recently, the web. Yet today, she is on her way out of history, relegated to the status of a mere consumer of the inventions of others. The governments of my country, France, have been following your recommendations for 25 years. Twenty-five years ago, France had a trade surplus. Today we have a deficit of €100 billion. We were the fifth country in the world in industrial production. Today we are the tenth. Your pact for a clean industry is one more ideological heresy. For example, you want to increase to 32% electrification by 2030, but you are running away from the only energy that can make us reach this goal: nuclear energy, barely mentioned in your pact. Our manufacturers are no longer able to compete, but you continue to impose above-ground targets on them, such as carbon neutrality in 2050. In reality, with your pact, our industry will be neither clean nor dirty: it will disappear, and we will import goods produced by polluting industries on the other side of the world.

Threats to EU sovereignty through strategic dependencies in communication infrastructure (debate)

Mr President, we saw this in Mayotte, where France turned to Musk's American Starlink network. Satellite Internet access is a real sovereignty issue. In this sense, Iris2 It is a step in the right direction, but it is only a small step, at a time when the Americans are making giant leaps. First on the number of satellites deployed: 290 planned on the European side, against 7,000 planned on the American side. Then, regarding the timing, we are planning at best a launch in 2030, when the Starlink constellation already has 6,300 satellites in low orbit. This is not a budget problem: 10.6 billion euros planned, this allows us to compete with the almost equivalent budgets of SpaceX and Amazon. But we have to see how we use it, this budget. Launching a European satellite would cost 35 million euros. For this price, Americans can throw 200. And while we're blabbing, they're doing it. To sum up, our satellites, no matter how technological, will be launched too late and too expensive. We have the brains, the technologies and the budgets. In the end, the problem is you.

US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, the World Health Organisation and the suspension of US development and humanitarian aid (debate)

Madam President, how much longer are we going to bear the hypocrisy of Mrme von der Leyen and European Technocrats? You criticize the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement on the one hand, but, on the other, you want to accelerate imports of American shale gas. As a reminder, shale gas is obtained by fracturing the soil, that is, by injecting tens of thousands of cubic meters of water under high pressure and chemicals into the rock to release the trapped gas, contaminating the groundwater and ejecting a greenhouse gas, methane, into the atmosphere. It's hard to do any worse ecologically. Moreover, many countries rightly prohibit the extraction of shale gas. Does it not seem incoherent to you to import from the United States a gas that is found too dirty to extract in Europe, to which must be added the greenhouse gas emissions due to its transport by boat? In reality, you don't care about ecology. Do you know why your Green Deal will surely lead to less pollution that is really visible in Europe? This is because after killing our industry and our agriculture we will no longer produce anything in France and Europe.

Restoring the EU’s competitive edge – the need for an impact assessment on the Green Deal policies (topical debate)

Mr President, it would not occur to anyone to entrust the management of a fire to an arsonist. So why did we entrust the future of our industry to green ideologues? Years of dogmatism on renewable energy and of many absurd standards have led our industry quite logically into the gap. By dogmatically destroying our industry, you are condemning us to import goods from countries such as China, the United States and India, which together account for half of global greenhouse gas emissions. So you succeed in sacrificing both our sovereignty, the purchasing power of Europeans, but also the climate. Hat down! My country, France, which has deindustrialised more than any other European nation, knows something about this: 51% of its greenhouse gas emissions are linked to its imports. An audit of the impact of the Green Deal on our industry is therefore not only desirable, it is necessary, urgent and vital. But more importantly, it is time, really, to withdraw once and for all from the management of our industrial, agricultural and energy future, please.
