The 2026 undemocratic elections to the Russian State Duma and its implications on civil society (debate)

Watch

Oh, dear Mr Sieper, that is really even below your level. Because the AfD, as things look at the moment, is now the only party that is still fighting for the preservation of the constitutional order in Germany. Yes, you can laugh as you like, but the facts speak a different language. We have an absolute erosion of the rule of law in Germany. I have listed all these details, and we can also talk ab…

Dear Mr. Sieper, I have fled communism. I have been granted asylum in Germany, and I am involved in politics in Germany, not in Russia. And I have already suffered a lot for my political activities. I had the first house searches in 2017, which were declared illegal by the court. Dear Mrs. Strack-Zimmermann, do not worry, even the 30, which I have now had in the current proceedings, are largely il…

Madam President, Mrs Kallas, I am glad that you are here today, ladies and gentlemen! Free and fair elections are the basis for democracy. It is right to criticize a country in which the opposition is oppressed, in which opposition parties are not allowed to vote, in which the leaders of the extra-parliamentary opposition are put in jail, without valid court rulings, in which citizens are intimida…

Recommendation on EU-China political relations (debate)

Madam President, Dear colleagues, the trade deficit with China is being lamented here and criticised in many speeches. But for decades, that was exactly the other way around, and that didn't bother anyone. One has to ask oneself: Why is this suddenly different and when did it happen? That was the end of the 1990s – and now it is accelerating. And not because the workers in China suddenly got bette…

Yes, Mr Brandstätter, thank you very much for your commitment to democracy and freedom in Ukraine. I would be interested in: Did you also fight for it a year before the war, when Zelenskyy banned the Democratic Party, then the strongest party in the polls, when he banned four TV channels and ten radio stations? What did you do then?…

Economic prosperity has been destroyed by the EU itself through the nonsensical embargoes against Russia. Our companies now have the most expensive energy prices, are no longer competitive on world markets, leave the European Union or go bank…

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, In the face of this debate, allow me to quote Donald Trump, the American president, who once said: The biggest threat to our democracy does not come from Russia or China; The biggest threat comes from within. (an incomprehensible interlocutory call from another Member of Parliament) That's right, Mr. Sieper. And in this case, the biggest threat to data security …

Mr President! Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen! So this EU recommendation is a testament to the EU's dishonesty, denial of reality and, above all, its foreign policy incompetence. Falsehood: The document is full of the term ‘rule-based order’. Rule-based order here, rule-based order there. This can be found on each page several times. You completely forget that this rules-based order was…

It didn't work in the Soviet Union, it didn't work in Africa, it didn't work in Euro…

That's crazy! Secondly: They mourn the alleged criminalisation of NGOs, the asylum industry and clima…

Mr Colleague, perhaps this is due to your party affiliation, that you regard as successful what the Commission is doing here and what this Parliament is clapping for. I do not think that it is successful to buy COVID-19 vaccines here, to keep the contracts with Pfizer secret and not even to inform Parliament afterwards. I don't know if you were in the Bundestag.

Dear Mr Simon, thank you very much for this question. This was rhetorically clever, but completely wrong in the matter. Like me, you know – at least I hope – that we do not have a right of initiative on the laws. We can ask the Commission to make a contribution, but that is completely out of the question. We are the Parliament here, we represent the citizens – and not the Commission. A…

Madam President, Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if we are to be quite honest, we must admit that this so-called reform is actually just a fog candle.

This is best expressed by the behaviour here in Parliament: …
