Feasibility of a 28th tax regime and its potential to support EU competitiveness (debate)

Madam President, our continent is picking up. Faced with unfair competition from China and the United States, our industry is shrinking and our companies are suffocating under the weight of your standards. In the face of this economic decline, what does this report propose? Another bureaucratic find: the creation of a 28th tax system. We are being sold a so-called optional framework to simplify th…

Financial activities of the European Investment Bank Group – annual report 2025 (debate)

Madam President, in France alone, 60 000 small businesses and craftsmen went bankrupt last year; 100,000 farms have disappeared in ten years; our factories close, rolled by unfair competition; our entrepreneurs can no longer borrow. What is the European Investment Bank doing in the face of this hecatomb? She turns her back on our fellow citizens. Originally created to finance the real economy, bui…

Decision of the Azerbaijani Parliament on suspending cooperation with the European Parliament (debate)

Madam President, the formal notification of Azerbaijan's withdrawal from our EuroNest Assembly should not be treated as a mere procedural hazard. It is the factual sanction of a strategic decommissioning, that of a European Union that persists in playing with the states. The analysis of this crisis reveals a bankruptcy articulated around three realities that you refuse to face. Diplomatically, we …

Negative trade-related effects of global overcapacity on the Union steel market (debate)

Mr President, it is better late than never. We welcome your awakening in the face of the steel crisis. But the culprit for this collapse is not in Asia: This is your dogmatism. You have created this disaster in all its dimensions. Economically first. The Commission's report on international trade proves this: The costs of our producers have exploded by 35% since 2022, crushed by your carbon market…

Supporting democratic resilience in Armenia (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, when Brussels speaks of democratic resilience in Armenia, it masks a brutal reality. What is at stake today is not just a political issue; It is the existential survival of the first Christian state in the world, a true outpost of our civilization, whose security remains tragically fragile. The European Union is setting itself up as a lesson giver, but its cy…

Imminent death penalty threats in Iran in the light of the latest executions, including on 18 and 19 March 2026, by the Iranian regime (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, in Iran in recent days two young men have been hanged. Sometimes in public, sometimes after confessions extracted under torture. On 18 and 19 March, several executions were confirmed and dozens of other prisoners await their turn, sentenced to death in expeditious trials. Yes, this regime uses the death penalty as a political weapon. But a question arise…

Recommendation on enhanced EU-Canada cooperation in the current geopolitical context, including the threats to Canada’s economic stability and sovereignty (debate)

Mr President, this recommendation on strengthening cooperation between the European Union and Canada seems at first sight to be consensual. But behind this text, what this Parliament is really asking for is full ratification of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, by all Member States. CETA, remember? In France, Belgium and Germany, thousands of farmers and citizens took to the st…

Targeted expulsions of foreign journalists and foreign Christians in Türkiye under national security pretexts

Mr President, in a democracy, the political struggle is settled at the ballot box, not in the courts. In Turkey today, justice is being used to dismiss the main opponent of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu threatened with ineligibility. Journalists were arrested for simply reporting these facts and foreign Christians banned from the territory because of their faith. But at the v…

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

Mr President, drones and new war systems have profoundly transformed conflicts. They are fast, inexpensive, sometimes autonomous and capable of hitting strategic targets. The European Union needs to adapt to this. But this adaptation should not be used as a political pretext, because, under the guise of security, the Commission is pushing a gradual shift towards federal defence, by multiplying pro…

Preventing sexual harassment in public institutions: latest revelations and resignations in Spain and institutional responses (debate)

Mr Gražulis, dear colleague, I fully agree with you that we must all combat all forms of violence. However, it seems to me that what we are talking about today is a criminal matter, and therefore not a matter for the Commission, not for the European Union, but for the Member States. And once again, it is a silent coup by the Commission over national prerogatives.…

Serious facts, resignations, and often warnings that already existed, but that nobody wanted to see. And yet, they are…

Moreover, your party has long been a hidden child of the USSR. Don't be in politics and keep the level of debate, ma'am. For your age and responsibility, I find this very disappointing.…
