Affordable Housing Act (debate)

Watch

Mr President, If 37 million legal and illegal immigrants have flocked to Europe since 2015 and then 10 million homes are missing, this is a very simple calculation task that every student can solve immediately. Not so with the European Union. She prefers to work with landlords, builders and owners, especially those who still create housing. Misguided ordinances and planned interventions – the shee…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Watch

Madam President, Why does the East choose blue? Almost one in two in Saxony-Anhalt has given the AfD its vote. The explanation is very simple. The people there are fed up with every kind of paternalism. They can still remember all too well how they were silenced in the dictatorship of the GDR. What it felt like to never be allowed to express his opinion freely, how cruelly the minions of the Stasi…

Government crackdown on the LGBTIQ+ Community in Türkiye: Türkiye’s compliance with its international commitments on non-discrimination (debate)

Watch

Madam President, No one knows how much money has flowed to Turkey in recent years to push the LGBTQ agenda there as well. Was it three and a half million dollars from France, the United States and Germany? Were there any other financial transfers from Germany? Was it really only 3.1 million euros from Sweden? How much has been paid so far? And most importantly: What exactly should be promoted? The…

The impact of the 1974 Turkish invasion on Cypriot women and girls, and the crimes committed by Turkish forces and consequences on gender equality (debate)

Madam President, The Cyprus conflict is one of the themes of today's NATO summit. Tomorrow the President of the European Council, the President of the Commission and the Turkish President Erdoğan will meet for this purpose; A solution to the Cyprus conflict is not to be expected. While Turkey calls for the two-state solution as a basis for further negotiations, the EU prefers to move closer to a c…

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

Watch

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 encourage…

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 …

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 a…

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

Watch

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…

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 …

International Women’s Day

Watch

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+ ‑Agend…

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 compla…

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.…

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.…

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.

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…

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.

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

It is therefore all the more surprising when we talk about housing and health policy today in order to counter the heat summer.
