Situation of European academics and researchers in the US and the impact on academic freedom (debate)

Madam President, so the Trump administration in the United States is threatening academic freedom? This claim by the European Commission and some MEPs here is pure hypocrisy. Where was the outcry from the EU and the academia in Europe when more and more non-leftist scientists in the US were dismissed or forced to resign by their radical colleagues and the left-wing student mob simply because they …

European Schools Alliance: potential to achieve the European education area by driving innovation, enhancing mobility and championing inclusivity (debate)

Mr President! Wherever the EU has its hands at stake, bureaucracy, centralisation, equalisation and regular reporting obligations for those affected, as well as creeping infiltration with EU ideologies such as climate rescue, genderism, diversity etc. The economy groaning under EU requirements can sing a song about it, and education policy is no different. We therefore do not trust the fine words …

Union of Skills: striving for more and better opportunities to study, train or work in the EU and to bring our talents back home (debate)

Mr President! None other than out of the EU – this is the opinion of around 270,000 highly qualified people who leave Germany every year, mainly in the USA and Switzerland. As a replacement, we have brought hundreds of thousands of low to non-qualified people into the country since 2015, directly into our welfare systems. The Commission now wants to encourage the return of talented people who have…

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

Dear colleague! I hear the message, but I lack faith. In Germany, we have state media that systematically discriminate against the opposition, the only opposition in the country, namely the AfD. We are not invited to the talk shows, we are dramatically underrepresented, and now when a discussion with our lead candidate takes place on social media on X with Elon Musk, then there is a big outcry. Th…

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

Madam President, President Trump signs a decree to protect freedom of expression in the United States. And the EU's response: Even more censorship. Is this still fear or is it already panic of the responsible citizen? This is not how democracies act, this is how regimes act. We are witnessing the introduction of an EUSR, ladies and gentlemen. Several speakers here openly said what it was about, no…

Recommendation to the Council on the EU priorities for the 69th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women - EU priorities for the 69th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (joint debate - EU priorities for the upcoming session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women)

Mr President! Here in the European Parliament, all MEPs have to take mandatory courses against sexual harassment – men face a general suspicion. The relationship between the sexes has been systematically poisoned in recent decades, not least by such state measures. And that's why only radical feminists and ideologues can celebrate the 30th anniversary of next year's Beijing World Women's Conferenc…

Restoring the EU’s competitive edge – the need for an impact assessment on the Green Deal policies (topical debate)

Mr President! The European Green Deal is pure madness: The self-destructive program of an industrial civilization. The price of electricity per megawatt-hour in Germany has recently risen to an insane €800 – normal would be €8. And 1,200 billion would have to be invested by 2035, according to a study, in order to achieve the climate goals. And for what? For CO2-Savings that China alone has neutral…

Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

Mr President! You can't think of it: Yesterday, this Parliament applauded the annulment of the democratic presidential election in Romania. If the wrong candidate is ahead, who does not suit the EU elite, then he must obviously leave. We are on the way to a totalitarian system, ladies and gentlemen. And what is the rationale? Manipulation of citizens on TikTok by foreign agents. You don't trust ci…

UN Climate Change Conference 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan (COP29) (debate)

Mr President! Fools and madmen, the re-elected US President Trump has called all those who claim that the world climate can not only predict, but also save. This means that everything necessary has been said for the climate conference in Baku. One trillion euros are to be paid annually by the industrialized countries to the countries of the South, where corrupt regimes and an armada of NGOs are fe…

Abuse of new technologies to manipulate and radicalise young people through hate speech and antidemocratic discourse (debate)

Madam President, The censorship is back in Germany, thanks to the Digital Services Act, drawn up by the Commission and approved here by this Parliament. Supposedly, society, especially the youth, should be protected from hate speech. In truth, it is about an unconstitutional suppression of unwelcome opinions that do not fit into the red-green and woken state ideology. So-called trusted flagger sco…

Consequences of the devastating forest fires in the Amazon and the importance of the Amazon for climate change (debate)

Madam President, It's always the same game: Every flood, every storm, every forest fire is misused to justify the economically disastrous climate policy. But these events took place even before industrialization. And a look at the long-term climate fluctuations shows: Heating laws and a ban on combustion engines cannot affect the weather. The natural climatic factors completely fizzle out the mini…
