Council positions at first reading (Rule 64)

Madam President, I refer to Rule 10(1) of the Rules of Procedure in conjunction with the principle of democracy in Article 2 TEU. Green MP Daniel Freund has already called for the potential freezing of EU funds in the case of an AfD government before forming a government in Saxony-Anhalt. He justified this, among other things, by the fact that a worse position in the form of sanctions could lead t…

Mr President! I refer to Rule 10(4) of our Rules of Procedure. Mr Brandstätter has just said about the journalist Köppel that it is a ‘type of journalism’. I just said in my speech that journalists across Europe are currently being beaten up. And it is precisely this degrading way of denigrating opposition journalists that is inhumane. I'm asking you to investigate this, too.…

Mr President! What we witnessed on the fringes of the AfD ‑ Party Congress in Erfurt was an unprecedented, brutal attack on press freedom in Germany. Journalists from Apollo News were chased through the streets by a left-wing mob, beaten up and kicked into hospital. At the press conference of the far-left alliance resisting This violence is legitimized. O‑Ton of left-wing extremists: Fascists with…

Financial activities of the European Investment Bank Group – annual report 2025 (debate)

Watch

As I said before, any aspect that we need to preserve is always an economic one – that is our basic priority. And you said quite rightly: If we have given economic efficiency within renewable energies, then it is of course legitimate to do so. As an AfD, we have never excluded renewable energies per se; Of course, you can disagree, but that is not correct, but from the moment when renewable energi…

Dear Mr. Colleague, I am sorry to disappoint you, I have not taken any legislation forward here. So, if you think that I have spoken against a certain letter that explicitly emerges from my speech, then you are welcome to mention that in your question. I have already said: For us, economic efficiency is the central momentum. This does not in itself exclude that we can also make investments in rene…

Madam President, The report highlights the growing role of the European Investment Bank within the European Union. With a balance sheet total of around EUR 600 billion and a record volume of EUR 100 billion in financing, the EIB has become one of Europe's most influential financial institutions. However, this expanded role must remain firmly enshrined in Article 309 TFEU. The EIB was created as an…

Madam President, It is interesting how difficult it is for this House to speak positively about the agreement that is to be expected on Friday; Because in the end, no matter how you feel about it, it's a path to peace. I'll also tell you why you find it so difficult to speak positively about it: We have to ask ourselves what influence we have had on this. What influence have the EU's protagonists …

Madam President, Anyone who disregards the principle of subsidiarity disregards their citizens. Let me explain why: At European level, this principle states that the EU can only intervene in those areas that do not fall within its exclusive competence, i.e. when the policy objectives cannot be achieved by the Member States themselves. I firmly believe that today's Commission proposal does not help…

Thank you very much, Mr. Colleague. I will speak in German. I think we all agree that everyone who cares deserves our appreciation for it, that it's mostly women who do it. However, I would like to mention one aspect: Namely, I will refer to German values – forgive me – but when we talk about repair services in houses, a German institute has found that 80% of these repair services, i.e. voluntary …

Mr President! This interim report on the Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034 is a very similar one. Instead of focusing on your actual tasks, this Parliament is earnestly calling for an even larger, even more centralised and even more expensive financial framework. From 2021 to 2027, this figure was around EUR 1 074 billion, and if we take this as a reference, we now have a doubling of aroun…
