Harnessing the potential of a competitive and sustainable EU Bioeconomy Strategy for EU strategic autonomy (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the bioeconomy is often presented as a sector of the future, but it is still necessary to know for whom it is being implemented. As usual, the Commission's new European strategy is not up to the challenge. Under the guise of competitiveness and innovation, it organises widespread predation of the living. The logic is always the same: transforming l…

Political repression and humanitarian situation in Cuba (debate)

Thank you, dear colleague, for accepting the blue card. You have in your mouth only the words "suspension", "sanction". I'm trying to understand, and I'm trying to understand why you're in that logic, when the first measure... You have no words, and I would like to understand why you have no words on the lifting of the blockade that has afflicted Cuba for more than six decades. Because that's the …

EU governance under pressure – institutional responses to global challenges (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, Europe is facing an increasingly brutal geopolitical environment. In this context, discussing the EU’s capacity to act in the institutional framework is important. But this debate must not be confiscated by technocrats. This is the first thing. Because it is not just a question of how the EU can decide faster, but of what it decides, for whom it de…

International Day of Education, fighting inequalities in access to education (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, public schools are one of the most effective instruments for combating social inequalities. Yet a methodical sabotage of this precious tool is orchestrated by liberals wishing, as always, to reserve education to the elites alone. In France, for example, a few days ago, the ruling macrono-socialist coalition voted to cut 4,000 professorships. Thi…

A new action plan to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the question raised by our comrade Li Andersson highlights the reality that workers live every day. Europe is going through profound changes, but the social response, when it exists, always comes after the break - too weak, too late, too fragmented. Market Europe sanctifies competitiveness and justifies, tolerates precariousness. As an immediate…
