European Social Fund (ESF+): specific measures to address strategic challenges (debate)

Dear Mr President, In Germany, the economy is on the ground; For years we have been the only industrialized nation in the world in a permanent recession. Responsible for this is the policy of the old parties and the EU: Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be destroyed by them in the shortest possible time, and hundreds of thousands or even millions more will follow. The mark of 3 million unemployed…

Mr President! In a democracy, the people decide who governs, not dubious bodies. In Ludwigshafen, a proud city in the heart of Germany, the AfD candidate Joachim Paul was excluded from the mayoral election. Why? Because a handful of self-proclaimed guardians of the so-called constitutional fidelity decided on the basis of a favor letter from the so-called constitutional protection that his voice, …

The EU’s post-2027 long-term budget: Parliament’s expectations ahead of the Commission’s proposal (debate)

Madam President, Mr Serafin, I would like to disagree very strongly with you on a number of points. Namely, you said here that there is a great deal of agreement on the flexibility of the budget when it comes to the restructuring of the budget, and there is always talk that we need to become more resilient. I don’t know – please read your own budget. We already have a whole range of resources in t…

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 26 June 2025 (debate)

Madam President, When you look at the results of the Council meeting, it's like a bad dream. Let me give you three examples. Firstly: Accession of Ukraine. It is always said that these negotiations should now be initiated. Ukraine really does not meet any requirements to become a member of the European Union. There is already a lack of a sustainable democratic order to be able to do so. Point two:…

Madam President, Mass brawls, sex crimes and other acts of violence are certainly not what used to be associated with the outdoor swimming pool season.

The question is whether communist tanks are the greater enemy than the woken left in this Parliament, because at least adults were able to defend themselves against tan…

Implementation report on the Recovery and Resilience Facility (debate)

Yes, you see, we basically reject debt on the part of the EU.

In this respect, it is a fundamental concern for us that debt-financed programmes should not take place within the EU.…

You have fantasized about the fact that in Hungary an opposition is threatened. I'd like to ask you a question. You are a member of the PPE, that is, you are a lapdog of the Merkel-CDU.
