Advancing towards a care society: addressing the gender care gap (debate)

Mr President! It is inconceivable what measures will be proposed to Gender Care Gap to be closed: Illegal migrant women should be legalized to care for our elderly and sick. The few children who still exist in the EU should be cared for even longer and more extensively, so that their parents can take care of the elderly and the sick, to whom they owe nothing. Yes, even abortion should be encouraged so that parents no longer have to suffer the stress of unexpected pregnancies. Let me tell you what this report means: Families are further weakened and exploited. Those who already take responsibility for their own children should give up these children or not get them in the first place, so that they can take care of all those who have never started a family. It is outrageous that the failed population policy of this EU should once again be carried out on the backs of the families. We completely reject this report.

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President! Georgia, a European country, decides not to become part of the European Union for the time being. Its citizens have decided in free elections that they do not want unconditional subordination to the values of the European Union: No LGBTQ agenda, no climate neutrality, no mass immigration. Accession negotiations have been suspended for the time being. Nevertheless, the FEMM committee of our Parliament will travel to Georgia next week. What's on the program? Meetings with representatives of opposition parties, journalists critical of the government and some of the tens of thousands of NGOs active in the country. Oh, and a visit to prison at Msia Amaghlobeli is also on the agenda. Is this what our European cooperation with the Caucasus looks like? It is a sign of poverty for the European Union that it does not have the courage to meet with government representatives. If we Europeans want to be taken seriously at all, we must have the diplomatic ability to talk to those who are in charge.

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

Madam President, Early childhood sex education to combat gender stereotypes, unrestricted access to reproductive rights, the new code word for abortions, gender balance, targeted support for migrants, intersectional approaches, special access to mathematics and science courses. These are just some of the measures the European Union is proposing to strengthen entrepreneurship among women in rural areas and remote regions. There is no question that rural areas need to be strengthened. Because it is the retreat for all those who want to start families and need sufficient and affordable housing. In Germany, this rural exodus has been observed for years. Families leave the cities and seek their fortune in the countryside. But what do we really need in these remote regions? We need a good digital infrastructure. We need intact roads. Kindergartens, schools and leisure activities must be a matter of course in order to make this habitat attractive for families as well. But we also need strong local self-government, which takes care of the concrete problems on the ground itself. Because of the EU's climate, gender and migration policies, they no longer have the money to deal with the real problems. And of course, it must be possible to earn your own money even in remote regions. What does this have to do with gender? Nothing. If the multiannual financial framework is to send money to remote regions, we wholeheartedly welcome it. Only: All of this has to happen regardless of gender.

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

Madam President, Bed stories don't concern anyone, let alone the European Union. And yet, with consent-based rape legislation, she's trying to do just that: She wants to get into the bedrooms of her citizens. We firmly reject that. The significant increase in sexual offences that we have been experiencing for years does not come from domestic bedrooms – it started in 2015 and is usually not caused by husbands who do not want to accept a 'no'. It is mainly caused by men from archaic cultures, whom we have sent to Europe en masse and who do not care about women's rights. In Germany alone, there were more than 130,000 sexual offences in 2025 – almost 40% of the perpetrators did not have a German passport. So if we're serious about protecting women from rape, we don't have to control the bedrooms, we have to control the streets. In our alternative resolution, we therefore call for genuine protection of women, the deportation of foreign perpetrators of violence and a lifelong ban on their entry.

European Citizens’ Initiative 'Ban on conversion practices in the European Union' (debate)

Madam President, Torture, terrible humiliations, cruel abuses and even the expulsion of the devil: who among you really believes that conversion therapies in Europe still look like this today? Conversion measures have been banned in Germany since 2020. The consequences of this are drastic: all those parents who raise their children with love and great care are no longer allowed to interfere when it comes to the growing up of their own children. Doubts about gender identity are perfectly normal and justified during puberty. LGBTQIA+ lobby groups – often paid for by EU funds, by the way – are then ready to encourage children and young people in their insecurity. Their parents, on the other hand, are hardly allowed to express themselves. If they do, they run the risk of the Jugendamt taking their children away from them. In Germany alone, there were 70,000 cases in 2024. So our experience in Germany is not so good, and that's why we reject all EU-wide rules on the conversion ban.

International Women’s Day

Madam President, Give and take, that's the motto of this year's Women's Day. Much has been taken from us in recent years. We women can no longer move safely in our cities. We women can no longer freely decide on our personal life plan. Women have been taken from our shelters. Yes, we women now even have to fight to be recognized as women at all. What was given to us instead? A woke LGBTQIA+ ‑Agenda that disfigures women beyond recognition. A mass legal and illegal immigration that has led to a cityscape where we can neither feel safe nor recognize ourselves. I'll tell you what gifts we women would like to receive: a women’s policy that makes women visible again and remigration – millions of times remigration.

Gender pay and pension gap in the EU: state of play, challenges and the way forward, and developing guidelines for the better evaluation and fairer remuneration of work in female-dominated sectors (debate)

Madam President, Today is another ideological day. To theEqual pay day We have to deal with the unequal pay of the sexes. A parliament that decides that trans women are also women, that non-biological women can also have children, that spends 110 billion euros on the LGBTQIA+ agenda over the next five years, so no longer dares to define what a woman is at all, wants to complain about their unequal pay. If you are serious about the gender pay gap, you have to realize that it is only a Mother pay gap act. According to calculations by the ifo Institute, mothers aged 30 in Germany earn 70 to 80 percent less than fathers. As a consequence, our federal government has first cancelled the child-raising allowance for so-called better-earners. Mothers have gaps in their employment biographies due to pregnancies, breastfeeding and parenting periods. They would like to take care of their offspring. Therefore, they are often part-time or not working. They do the work anyway: for their families, for our descendants. Tragically, this is not paid for. This is how it comes about after Mother pay gap Subsequently, the mother pension gap, This does not affect women, trans women or non-biological women, but only mothers. A first proposal to remedy the situation: Let's turn the €110 billion for the trans agenda into a mothers' agenda so that mothers no longer have to pay the bill for this failed EU agenda. Let's finally close it Mother pay gap and the Mother pension gap and honor those who secure our future: Our mothers.

Tackling AI deepfakes and sexual exploitation on social media by making full use of the EU’s digital rules (debate)

I did not say that the Digital Services Act It is always censorship, but I have made it clear that genuine victim protection at the national level has been going on for a long time. If we use this consistently, then we do not need any European restrictions here, especially not on freedom of expression. This, too, is a pretext for restricting freedom of expression.

Tackling AI deepfakes and sexual exploitation on social media by making full use of the EU’s digital rules (debate)

Madam President, Deepfakes and child pornography are not gimmicks, but brutal violence. They destroy the reputation, dignity and often the whole life of those affected. There is no question: The perpetrators must be prosecuted, content consistently removed and victims protected immediately. But what does the EU do? It uses these crimes as a pretext to gain even more control over the public debate. The Digital Services Act It has long been no longer a tool against crime, but an instrument of power. It puts pressure on platforms and produces one thing above all: Overblockingcensorship and ultimately political arbitrariness. We don't need a European Ministry of Truth, we don't want chat control and mass surveillance. Just like the secrecy of letters, communication on the Internet must finally be protected. Here, too, there must be a right to privacy. Genuine victim protection, on the other hand, exists only through national law enforcement. This should be followed consistently and quickly. Our freedom, including on the internet, must never be sacrificed for this.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (debate)

Madam President, The Left is lying to us. When we talk about violence against women, they say: Men are the problem. If we clearly name groups of perpetrators, they insult us as right-wing extremists. And if we want to make a hearing on the really important issue of violence against women in the Women's Committee, we will be presented with marginal data and figures on cyberbullying. Let's be honest: Violence against women has exploded for years. Over 135,000 crimes against women were committed in Germany last year alone. More than 300 women have been victims of murder and manslaughter. The curve in violent crime knows only one direction: steeply up. A second curve points in the same direction: the legal and illegal mass immigration to Western Europe. Men from archaic cultures, who have a significantly different image of women than Europeans, ensure that women are displaced from the public sphere. Not even half of all women dare to take to the streets in the evening, and far more than 80% have adapted their behaviour in public spaces. If we want to stop the violence against women, then we must first stop the uncontrolled mass immigration to Europe. And if I'm here today... (The President withdrew the floor from the speaker.)

Proxy voting in plenary for Members during pregnancy and after giving birth (A10-0214/2025 - Juan Fernando López Aguilar) (vote)

Madam President, honourable Members! It is unbelievable with what arrogance women who are pregnant or have just given birth are incapacitated by this application. They should be able to withdraw from their free mandate. This has nothing to do with achieving gender equality, involving mothers in politics or even institutional fairness. Pregnancy is not a disease. Pregnant women, including MEPs, are well able to exercise their democratic rights until the day of delivery and beyond. And when and where they want to resume their work is entirely their decision. They do not need a ward to take over their voting rights for a certain period of time. As a mother of many children, I can only certify: What you want to resell here as an alleged gender equality is in reality a disenfranchisement of the free mandate of female MPs. You should be ashamed to make such a request.

Gender Equality Strategy 2025 (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen! More than 30% of all cohesion funding from 2021 to 2027 will be spent on gender equality, a total of €110 billion, but what will such a strategy bring? To date, the EU Commissioner for Gender Equality has not even been able to define what a woman is. Your answer: Europe is diverse. So the question arises as to who or what is actually to be supported with these billions of euros. If we want to talk about a gender equality strategy, we need to be honest. Non-women, non-transgender persons, lesbians or non-binaries are left behind, and a single group – mothers – is left behind. All those who take responsibility for future life, who do care work, who forgo careers for their family. Let's finally call it Gender Equality Strategy in Parent-equality strategy Um. Let's finally stop using the watering can principle to distribute money wherever someone feels like a female. Let's finally support those who really need support – mothers and fathers.

Combating violence against women and girls, including the exploitation of motherhood (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen. Our cityscape has changed drastically. In Offenbach am Main, more than 66 percent have a migration background, in Heilbronn 58 percent, Hanover and Nuremberg only come to just over 50 percent. Chancellor Friedrich Merz simply said what each of us can see on a daily basis. He rightly notes that you only need to ask the daughters what he means by that. 82 percent of women in Germany have adapted their behaviour in public spaces. Fifty-five percent have been buried or kissed against their will. More than half of all women in Germany no longer dare to take to the streets alone in the evening. And it is of no use if 2 000 ‘daughters against the right’ declare that they are taking to the streets and do not understand what the chancellor might mean. Violence against women is increasing dramatically, not by old white men, but by young, not white men. In the group rapes in NRW, half of the perpetrators were migrants, half of the German perpetrators had a foreign first name. In 2025, there were 130,000 crimes against women in Germany alone. If we are serious about our fight against violence against women, then we must have the courage to call the child by its name. Only then can we protect our daughters and mothers. Our women have a right to feel safe and comfortable in Europe.

Declaration of principles for a gender-equal society (debate)

Mr President! Man and woman - there is nothing more. There are only these two genders. No parliament, no court or EU Commission will change that. This decision, which Slovakia made three weeks ago, seems courageous to us. Above all, it is one thing: normal. Slovakia has sent a clear signal: National sovereignty is above ideological experimentation. Family, culture and identity are the responsibility of the peoples and not the hands of EU bureaucrats. It is precisely for this reason that we will reject the Socialists' motion for a resolution, because this motion stands for ideologisation, for the dissolution of natural and social foundations, for the patronage of Brussels. We have drafted our own resolution, in which we clearly support Slovakia's line. All men, male or female, are equal before the law and equal in value. Let's finally fight for real gender equality!

Summer of heatwaves in the EU: addressing the causes and providing adequate housing and health policies to address record-breaking temperatures (debate)

Mr President! The heat summer has gone down this year. A rainy July was followed by a sunny August and a few late summer days. It is therefore all the more surprising when we talk about housing and health policy today in order to counter the heat summer. Berlin had really prepared itself: 200 cold islands for 20 000 euros each with water point, chair and sun sail were built. Planting with trees would not only have been cheaper, but also more sustainable. The housing crisis, on the other hand, is self-made. Anyone who allows unhindered immigration of non-cultural people creates this crisis himself. Nevertheless, there was a horror summer, which climate experts had also predicted. The bloody balance of left-woker ideology this late summer: Liana, 16, was pushed in front of a train in Friedland, policeman Simon, 34, executed with seven shots by a migrant, Iryna, 23, slaughtered in the train by a black man. And anyone who talks about it will be silenced. Yesterday it hit the fighter for the free word Charlie Kirk. Let us fight together for a Europe where people can feel safe again and the word is free!

Cohesion policy (joint debate)

Madam President, Climate justice, beautiful housing, thriving landscapes – what else is cohesion funding going to pay for? Let's be honest: A large part of the problems that we now have to solve arduously, we have caused ourselves. No one is forcing us to achieve climate neutrality by 2050; This goal has been set apart from reality. relocation of production, carbon leakage, investment outflows are a first consequence; Hundreds of thousands of jobs are lost. The de-industrialization of the continent has already begun. The housing crisis is also homemade. Anyone who lets millions of immigrants, asylum seekers and foreigners into the continent should not be surprised that housing is no longer sufficient. Cohesion funds are not designed to cure bad policies; Make rural areas worth living again. The simple and straightforward allocation of cohesion funds is the only sensible proposal made here today.

Amending ERDF, Cohesion Fund and Just Transition Fund as regards specific measures to address strategic challenges in the context of the mid-term review (debate)

Mr President! According to Ursula von der Leyen, almost 800 billion euros are to be spent on the EU's ability to fight in war. Anyone who has followed her speech during her visit to Bulgaria last week wonders with what tenacity and speed the rearmament is to be launched. The Bulgarian arms industry is not only a reason for Bulgarian national pride, but also for European pride. Almost 60 of the 800 billion announced will come from cohesion funds. Instead of kindergartens, armament factories are built in rural areas; the village rehabilitation must give way to the drone test; At best, there will be infrastructure to transport the tanks still to be built to future war zones. We are preparing here for a war that only the EU wants, no one else. A real strategic challenge would be to strengthen the regions and thus make Europe a sustainable and livable continent again.

Thank you for the question. Why am I not surprised to be asked this question? I would like to make a clear distinction between immigration to a new country and a minority that has actually lived in an area for centuries. That's a big difference.

European Citizens' Initiative 'Cohesion policy for the equality of the regions and sustainability of the regional cultures' (debate)

Madam President, Poppy cake, tolerance, snowflake: We associate all these terms with Silesia, an ancient cultural landscape. In the Polish voivodships of Opole and Silesia, there are well over 600,000 Silesians – 200,000 of whom have indicated that they speak mostly German in everyday life. And yet the protection of the homeland is not progressing so well. Bilingual place signs are not or only after a long waiting period, the German lessons at the schools are treated stepmotherly. But this is where cohesion funding can help. They should be used to ensure that the expansion of German teaching finally progresses and that the village school infrastructure is secured. They must be used so that Europe's cultural wealth is no longer lost. They are to be used so that the handling of the veils in Poland can become a model for the whole of Europe. We therefore fully support the European Citizens' Initiative.

Lessons from Budapest Pride: the urgent need for an EU wide anti-discrimination law and defending fundamental rights against right-wing attacks (topical debate)

Madam President, Do you want to make Hungary a place you would like to return to? This is what exile Hungarians of the so-called Free University of Budapest ask for, who wish for a left-woke country and have therefore fled to the completely run-down Berlin. Together with leftists from ‘Aktivistenbus’, they drove from Germany to this year’s Pride Parade in Hungary’s capital. Even the dedicated EU Commissioner for Climate and Gender Equality, Ms Hadja Lahbib, is said to have been spotted there, along with 70 left-wing and green MEPs. Was that good? In any case, it was an interference in internal Hungarian affairs. Participation in the Pride Parade will not be punished by Orbán. Orbán had previously stated that the protection of children is higher than the protection of alleged sexual minorities. But there is one thing we should always keep in mind: If you like dragqueens and table dance for children, you will feel at home in Germany. Many Germans don't do that anymore. They flee to Hungary and turn their backs on their homeland forever.

From institution to inclusion: an EU action plan for deinstitutionalisation, family- and community-based care (debate)

Mr President! Almost 200,000 people with disabilities live in homes in Germany alone, more than 200,000 children do not live with their parents, over 800,000 people in need of care in institutions. The trend is increasing in all areas. This extra-domestic care already costs well over €70 billion per year in Germany. The European Commission therefore rightly wants to remedy this situation. Inclusion should be promoted by a care in the institution. It means a return to family. Sounds good, but it's not that easy. Germany has been doing everything in its power to destroy functioning family structures for decades. Every second marriage is divorced, children barely born. Financial or even ideal support for families? Misrepresentation. We finally need a policy for families that deserves this name – a policy that focuses not on self-proclaimed minority groups, but on those who really need help. We need to support families so that we can live in this inclusion again, so that we can finally take care of our children and grandparents ourselves again.
