Joint communication on humanitarian aid (JOIN(2026)0025) (B10-0339/2026)

Mr President, dear colleagues, especially after the recent USAID cuts, the European commitment to humanitarian aid has become crucial for millions of people across the world. Conflicts, climate change and economic factors drive millions of people in various countries into utterly precarious situations. While we can go back to our safe homes at night, millions of people across the world do not have…

An updated regulatory framework for wool (debate)

Mr President, dear people of Europe! I am pleased to be the last speaker to give some good thoughts to one or the other during the summer break. Mr Bausemer, I always admire the mental acrobatics you are doing here in this Chamber. They talked about MEPs not doing their job and wasting taxpayers' money here. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that even according to Parliament’s offici…

Thank you, Madame, for accepting the blue card. I think you and I agree on some issues; We disagree on other issues. Well, if I understood the translation correctly, then you have called those who disagree with you a ‘sick ideology’. You have a little more life experience than me: Do you think that in political discourse it is appropriate and constructive to call those who do not agree with one "o…

Feasibility of a 28th tax regime and its potential to support EU competitiveness (debate)

Thank you, colleague, for accepting my blue card. You rightfully said that we have a lot of potential. I am sure you are also aware of the exceptions to the basic freedoms of the internal market that national Member States can impose. Do you think that, as long as these exceptions still exist, like 'EU Inc.' can really work? Or should we not think even further to dig out our potential?…

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre

Madam President, you already noted it, I also want to make it very clear to the colleagues of the ECR or, I don't know, the PfE, that the colleague, when asked about the religious development of Islam, said: 'they spend a lot of time with goats.' That's his statement. Just take this in for today. This debate was used not to stand up for Christians. This debate was used for political manoeuvring, f…

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre

My follow‑up question then would be, sir, if in your view, as a Christian, the Old Testament is also part of the Bible and is also part of the Christian faith? Because there, for example, it says that we should kill someone by stoning if he plants two different crops next to each other. So, do you realise that every religion develops and there's different interpretations of every religion? And whi…

Mr Colleague, I believe that the threat to us stems from the fact that our infrastructure – our energy infrastructure, our transport infrastructure – is now increasingly exposed to acts of sabotage, coincidentally since the beginning of the Russian invasion, and that is also something that is important in the context of resilience.
