State of the Union (debate)

Madam President, Mrs von der Leyen, today the European Union is facing an existential challenge. The great civilizations are necessary, while you cling to your old software, as with the Green Deal, and accompany our exit from history. You are preparing the signing of Mercosur by wanting once again to bypass the vote of the States. You have just accepted an unfair treaty with the United States, whe…

Preparation for the 2025 EU–China Summit - Tackling China's critical raw materials export restrictions

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in the 1990s, European countries abandoned the extraction and refining of critical metals. Thirty years later, in the absence of a strategic vision, Europeans find themselves in a delicate situation of dependence on China, which accounts for 60% of the world’s rare earths mining and 92% of their refined production. As such, Beijing covers more than 90% of our…

Arbitrary sentencing of Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal and journalist Christophe Gleizes (debate)

Madam President, Boualem Sansal, Christophe Gleizes: These two names have become the symbol of our abdication. It was not enough for France to apologize for building roads, schools and hospitals in Algeria. It was also necessary to lower one’s head in the face of the contempt of an authoritarian regime that had failed to do anything about its independence. For weeks, Paris took refuge in denial. W…

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

Colleagues, last April's Spanish blackout was not the result of a mismatch of circumstances, contrary to what the Spanish government is trying to make believe. It is the result of an unbalanced energy mix dominated by solar and wind energy. This is an alert that should convince this Parliament to give up pushing countries to commit to a very high percentage of intermittent renewable energy. All th…

Implementation report on the Recovery and Resilience Facility (debate)

Madam President, today we are looking at the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility. This financial instrument, worth almost €675 billion, is a centrepiece of the European recovery plan adopted in 2020. Who will repay the €42 billion in interest, two to three times more than initially planned, as the European Court of Auditors notes? Future generations, of course. A pinnacle for a …

Approval of the minutes of the previous sitting

Madam President, under Rule 180 of the Rules of Procedure, I am asking for a statement on a personal matter. Mme Benedetta Scuderi personally questioned me yesterday and insulted me for denouncing the presence of the Femyso association at the EYE event. I totally assume that I have opposed the presence in the European Parliament of this organisation linked to the Islamists of the Brotherhood of th…

A unified EU response to unjustified US trade measures and global trade opportunities for the EU (debate)

Mr. Speaker, some here seem to discover that the United States is a fierce trading competitor. Yet there is no shortage of precedents, under the Biden and Obama era, for example against BNP Paribas, which received a considerable fine, or the forced takeover of Alstom and the massive espionage revealed by Snowden. Those who once favored our military and economic dependence are now rediscovering the…

Wider comprehensive EU-Middle East Strategy (debate)

Madam President, unfortunately, through the vague and vague objectives of this strategy in the Middle East, the EU is once again consolidating its image as a passive entity, merely wishing for peace and harmony, but unable to overhaul its diplomatic software to deal with the major upheavals under way. Why, in its political guidelines, are the real problems hidden? I am thinking, for example, of Tu…

The arrest of the Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal and the call for his immediate and unconditional release, and the repression of freedom of speech in Algeria (debate)

Mr President, the Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal is a prisoner because he had the courage to denounce both the Algiers regime and Islamism in France and Europe. Guided by its hatred of France, the Algiers regime behaves like a rogue state, willing to do anything to exert diplomatic pressure. It's basically a hostage situation that doesn't say his name.
