Women’s entrepreneurship in rural and island areas and outermost regions (debate)

Thank you very much, Mrs Princi! They have identified a variety of measures that are important to strengthen actual female entrepreneurship in rural areas. But this can only be achieved with reliable and stable financing. That is why my question relates to this. You have now tabled amendments to remove gender budgeting, calling into question reliable funding for women in all these areas that you h…

Women’s entrepreneurship in rural and island areas and outermost regions (debate)

Madam President, On the weekend I was in Kröpelin with dough whispers. Two dedicated women have set up a café and a bakery there with the help of European funding. With an incredible amount of passion, they not only create jobs, but also places of encounter. They offer courses, bring people together and show how vibrant rural space can be. Such examples are courageous. They show what is possible w…

Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034 (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner! The interim report makes it clear what weaknesses the Commission actually has in its proposal on the Multiannual Financial Framework: No clear budget, no planning certainty, no simplification for the beneficiaries and no clear perspective for rural areas, for the regions, for agriculture. That, ladies and gentlemen, is not in the interests of the citizens. And one must …

The urgent need to combat discrimination in the EU through the horizontal anti-discrimination directive (topical debate)

Mr President! I was recently at the Rostock Goalballclub. I was allowed to train there for one morning. Goalball is an inclusive sport in which two teams try to throw a sounding ball into a 9 meter wide goal. All players wear blindfolds. So everyone has the same preconditions, no matter if someone can see or not. This game requires the highest concentration, trust in the team and respect for each …

Situation in Belarus, five years after the fraudulent presidential elections (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner! Gossiping – this is what we do here almost every day. One louder and firmer, the other quieter and hesitant. It's hard to imagine people being arrested for gossiping in public. But that is exactly what happens again and again in Belarus. There, women or even young people are punished because they demand justice. They are carrying protests. Those who think freely risk…

Rising antisemitism in Europe (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner! The anti-Semitic attack by the terrorist organization Hamas two years ago today marks the worst day in the history of Jews since the Shoah. It was also a turning point for Jewish life here in Europe. Since then, we have witnessed an alarming rise in anti-Semitic incidents on our continent: Attacks on synagogues, hate speech online, Jewish students who no longer dare …

Rising antisemitism in Europe (debate)

I would be interested if you were to incite such hatred against other groups of people here in Parliament as you can actually stand here and say that you are standing up against anti-Semitism. Exactly that – anti-Semitism, hatred – leads to exactly what you have put forward here. They play different groups of people against each other. This incites hatred. This threatens our European values. In th…

Role of EU policies in shaping the European Sport Model (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner! Recently, I just wanted to buy a jersey, a women's football European Championship jersey. No matter where I was looking: Nothing to find on the ground. Instead, the shelves full of men's jerseys, although currently there is no championship. A small moment that shows how big the differences are. And that's what it's all about: One of the central concerns of strengthening…

She is the first in her family to graduate from high school and study. She doesn’t even know how such a study is going, she has no one to ask – questions such as ‘How do I finance my studies?’, ‘Am I good enough?’, ‘Can I do that?’ torment her. For this young wom…

The opening sentence stands not only for one language, but for a whole sense of life. That language, culture and belonging are not old-fashioned, but part of what makes Europe strong.

Their presentation and the focus on the farmers misunderstands the gathering. It is not a game for farmers and rural areas. This is the mistake that has happened in recent years. We need to bring the two together to create real future prospects for rural areas. How do you want to ensure that only one thing is focused and you even accuse the cohesion funds of falling into the wrong hands? In rural …

Beautifully located, characterized by people who love their home. The average age is high, young families are missing, and yet you feel something precious – commitment, ideas and cohesion. The rural area is alive. Not because everything is simple, but b…

That is why the initiative of the Kulturkompass is all the more important. Culture is more than art and entertainment: It is a link; It creates encounter, understanding and community. It is a space in…
