Air passenger rights (debate)
Madam President, after thirteen years of discussions and hours in trilogues, nothing new under the Brussels sun – under pressure from the Council. In the end, for a delayed flight, passengers will benefit from the same compensation thresholds as in 2014, regardless of inflation – the good deal! Yes, this text includes some progress: the digital boarding pass, the guarantee for children to be seate…

The resilience of the European transport sector and the need to ensure the supply of essential goods amid ongoing geopolitical instability (debate)
Mr President, we are being told about the resilience of transport: Well, good. But resilience is not decreed in Brussels relations: it flows into concrete, it lands on rails, it is built in ports, tunnels, roads. At home, in Occitanie, in the south of France, we know exactly what these promises without steel are worth. France invented the TGV. We were the pioneers of high-speed rail in Europe. So …

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)
I will answer you simply: Let us take responsibility and you will see us at work. We will raise the bar and allow the European people, and in particular, as French people, the French people, to have oxygen and be able to live decently.…

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, today you claim to be fighting poverty in Europe. But how can we fail to see that it is precisely the policies pursued by the European Union over the years that have impoverished our peoples? Your free trade agreements have deindustrialised our countries, destroyed thousands of jobs and put our workers in competition with the world. Your Green Deal then aggravated th…

Drones and new systems of warfare – the EU’s need to adapt to be fit for today’s security challenges (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the war in Ukraine has settled the debate. Drones have become a central tool in modern conflicts – inexpensive, massive, decisive. But this observation should not be used as a pretext to resurrect an illusion: European defence. We are against it. Defense is the responsibility of the nations, of their army, of their sovereignty. On the other hand, it is essential…

Breeders' protests following a lumpy-skin-disease outbreak in France: implications of the EU approach on sanitary and on animal health (debate)
Madam President, today, thanks to Jordan Bardella, this Parliament is finally debating lumpy skin disease. I come from Occitania, from an angry and distressed rural area. Last Thursday, in the Bordes-sur-Arise region of Ariège, I was the only member of parliament alongside the farmers, facing mobile gendarmes, drones, a helicopter, tear gas, to prevent the execution of nearly 200 cows. When a powe…

Fur farming and the placing of farmed fur products on the market (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today we are debating a possible European ban on fur farming and fur products. It is a sensitive subject and nobody here disputes the importance of animal welfare. But we need really effective measures. First, do not confuse prohibition with progress. European farms are subject to strict and controlled rules. Closing them would not eliminate demand, it would …

Discontinuing seasonal time change (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, twice a year, the French, like millions of Europeans, move their watch forward or backward. Twice a year, we are imposed a measure that no one understands and that everyone rejects. This, in my opinion, is the perfect illustration of what has become of the European Union, a technocratic machine deaf to the people, obsessed with absurd, useless a…

The ongoing assault on the democratic institutions and the rule of law in Bulgaria (topical debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today there is something profoundly ironic about the Renew Group, founded by Emmanuel Macron, claiming to give lessons in the rule of law and democracy to Bulgaria. Because finally, who in France concentrates power in a few hands? Who bypasses the popular will? Who governs in contempt of the people? Well, it's the same Emmanuel Macron. And now its representat…

Public health risks in a Europe affected by global warming: tackling the spread of mosquito- and tick-borne diseases (vote)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Europe is now discovering that it is no longer protected. Diseases from elsewhere are spreading, carried by mosquitoes and ticks, which the borderless globalisation you have created has brought about. In France, Italy, Portugal, Romania, every summer becomes a calvary: locals barricade themselves, tourists flee and diseases advance. This is the …

Europe’s automotive future – reversing the ban on the sale of combustion cars in the EU (topical debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union is about to deny one of its greatest industrial successes: the automobile. The ban on thermal engines in 2035 is not progress, it is strategic folly. Under the pretext of ecology, you weaken our manufacturers, destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs and deliver our markets to China, the world's biggest polluter. That's the reality. Everywhere on…

United response to recent Russian violations of the EU Member States’ airspace and critical infrastructure (debate)
Madam, all European and world leaders must come together to engage in de-escalation and prevent war. For it is not the people sitting on these benches, in these cozy lounges, who will go to the field to take bullets. It is our children, children from France, Italy and all over Europe, who will go on the pitch and take bullets from the buffet, unlike you. We must do everything possible to preserve …

United response to recent Russian violations of the EU Member States’ airspace and critical infrastructure (debate)
Madam President, Mrs von der Leyen, ladies and gentlemen, the recent intrusions of Russian drones into the European space must alert us, but they must not precipitate us into a logic of escalation. While Brussels is agitating and dreaming of a Europe of defence, it is unable to protect our borders and prevent more than 380,000 illegal entries in a single year. My country, France, knows that peace …

Cohesion policy (joint debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the allocation of European funds today is a real scandal. France contributes massively to the EU budget and yet our territories are too often forgotten. At home in Occitania, the reality is simple. Transport infrastructure is deteriorating. Our rural areas remain landlocked. Water is missing a little more every year and every summer our countryside burns, whi…

EU Preparedness Union in light of the upcoming wildfire and droughts season (debate)
Mr Pellerin-Carlin, we will never go into your environmental delusions, which kill our territories. The first environmentalists are the farmers, and we, unlike you, defend them, and, in the face of forest fires, winegrowers are the first defenders.…

EU Preparedness Union in light of the upcoming wildfire and droughts season (debate)
Mr. Allione, I do know your fight and your support for firefighters. You yourself have been a firefighter in your career, and this fight is strong and remarkable. But, you know as well as I do: you are here, in this Chamber, the representative of Emmanuel Macron. You know as well as I do that the park is aging and that there are thirty years of delay in France. Today, firefighters are on the front…

EU Preparedness Union in light of the upcoming wildfire and droughts season (debate)
Madam President, as every summer, southern Europe and southern France are on fire. And like every summer, the French state, however obsessed with the issue of global warming, is outdated. At home in Occitanie, in one week, 4,000 hectares went up in smoke in Aude, despite the heroic courage of our firefighters. In Marseille, it is the same tragedy. And what is the French government doing? He notes,…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, farmers in our mountains can no longer do this. Bears, wolves, vultures: predators are multiplying, and the European Union is turning a blind eye. It finances predation and lets pastoralism die. This afternoon, in the Pyrenees, two calves were eaten alive by vultures under the eyes of their breeder, and during this time bears proliferate (83 adults, 16 cubs t…

Latest developments on the revision of the air passenger rights and airline liability regulations (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, once again the European Commission is waving promises to hide its failures and impose new standards on us. She tells us about the review of passenger rights, but, as always, she forgets the essential: protecting European citizens from the abuses of an excessively liberalised system. The Single European Sky has failed. The u…

EU framework conditions for competitive, efficient and sustainable public transport services at all levels (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Commission has been promising us a bright future for public transport for years. But for our fellow citizens, especially in France, the reality is abandonment. In metropolises, projects are chronically lagging behind. And in our campaigns, nothing. Ten million French people do not have access to public transport. The French in rural areas have no ch…
