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)

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…

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 …

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…

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

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…

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…

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.…

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.

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.
