Post-electoral repression in Zambia and the killing of Mutotwe Kafwaya
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Zambia has long emerged as one of the most stable multiparty democracies in southern Africa. Yet the general elections of 2026 raise serious concerns about respect for human rights and democratic space: Before, during and after the election, several opposition figures were arrested and even murdered. Amnesty International warns of arbitrary dete…

Joint communication on humanitarian aid (JOIN(2026)0025) (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, talking about humanitarian aid is above all about human lives. This is talking about thousands of people who, for lack of resources, simply no longer have access to essential aid. In 2025, international humanitarian funding reached its lowest level in a decade: a situation that forces humanitarian actors to make impossible decisions – deciding who …

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, speaking in this Chamber about the situation in Nigeria highlights the daily persecution and violence faced by civilians. Reducing the debate to religion, however, is proof that many here have not understood what is happening in this country, or that they do not want to understand it. Or they simply use these atrocities to serve their political age…

The threat of war crimes, the escalating violations of international humanitarian law and the human rights situation in El-Obeid, Sudan
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this is the third time in six months that an alarming discussion of the dramatic situation in Sudan has been on the agenda of this House. Each time, we denounce the massacres, the living and even survival conditions of displaced populations, millions of children at risk of starvation, women and girls exposed to sexual violence, and the tens of thou…

Narco-trafficking in Europe’s waters: protecting our borders and supporting our law enforcement officers (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, drug trafficking is a major threat to our societies. It fuels violence, corrupts our economies and undermines the rule of law. In the face of criminal organisations operating on a global scale, our response must be European. But let's not get the fight wrong. Drug trafficking will not be combated by maintaining the confusion between migration and o…

Continued crackdown on civic space and fundamental freedoms in Burkina Faso
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, a free civil society is essential for any state. It acts as a safeguard against abuses of power and gives a voice to citizens. But in Burkina Faso, this voice is methodically silenced. In a few months, more than a hundred civil society organizations were dissolved, hundreds of associations suspended. Journalists and media are silenced, students …

Situation of women and girls in Afghanistan following the Taliban's adoption of the Criminal Procedure Code for Courts
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the new Afghan Criminal Code enshrines gender apartheid, which has been in place since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. The hypocrisy of the European states, which denounce the appalling content of this penal code while discussing with the Taliban to ensure returns to this country, is purely scandalous. This penal code places less value on wo…

Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union in 2024 and 2025 (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner McGrath, ladies and gentlemen, last March the European Parliament's position on the return regulation was adopted. While the Fundamental Rights Report reminds us that migrants' rights are already being targeted in the European Union, this new text marks an unprecedented hardening: end of the right to an effective remedy, creation of return hubs outside the Union or prolo…

Order of business
Madam President, I too would like to make a point, a point of order in the Rules of Procedure, under Rule 202 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament. I would therefore like to make this point of order concerning the Rules of Procedure, the mandate for the Return Regulation. I can only deplore the fact that we are not having a discussion on the attitude of the EPP, which is u…

Activities of the European Ombudsman – annual report 2024 (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, European Ombudsman, the Ombudsman's annual report should have been a consensus. We have negotiated at length to find compromises. Our S&D Group has played its full part in this effort to build a solid agreement between pro-European forces. But, at the decisive moment, the EPP chose another path, that of aligning itself with the extreme right. Two un…

International Day of Education, fighting inequalities in access to education (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the number of school-deprived children in the world could soon reach 278 million. This is an alarming figure, as we know that education, and especially in emergencies, is often the only gateway for children to essential services such as health, protection and nutrition. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that education is a funda…

Case of Joseph Figueira Martin in the Central African Republic
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, for over a year and a half, Joseph Figueira Martin, a Belgian-Portuguese aid worker, has been arbitrarily detained in the Central African Republic. He must be released. In May 2024, he was abducted by the Wagner Group. Since then, he has been tortured, threatened with death and kept in inhuman and degrading conditions. He did not have access to …

Restoring control of migration: returns, visa policy and third-country cooperation (topical debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, here we are in this Chamber for yet another debate on migration. The title of this debate suggests that migration is out of control, which is a lie – a lie cleverly orchestrated by the right and far right. Currently, the number of irregular arrivals into the EU has never been lower since 2021. But this rhetoric keeps fear alive and justifies ever m…

Grave political situation in Guinea-Bissau after the coup of 26 November
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the situation in Guinea-Bissau is extremely worrying; It calls for an immediate international response. Today, the priority is above all to protect the population. This population is very vulnerable, as Guinea-Bissau is one of the poorest countries in the world. There is no justification for the excessive use of force against civilians, and we d…

Mass kidnapping of children in Nigeria, including from St Mary's Catholic school in Papiri
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, last month we were already talking in this Chamber about the abduction of pupils in Nigeria. Here we are again today, when a new tragedy struck the country. I lack words to describe anger, misunderstanding, but also tiredness in the face of the repetition of these crimes, in the face of the disappearance of innocent children. Instead of threaten…
