Recruitment of children by organised crime (debate)

Watch

Madam President, dear people of Europe, I am very thankful for colleagues like Ms Mertens, who took a constructive approach on that, because it allows me to challenge my anger and make some points clear. If you really think that the criminalisation of children has anything to do with the fact of where these children or the perpetrators come from, then you are mentally incapable of thinking above t…

EN Question

Recruitment of children by organised crime (debate)

Watch

That's a pity. But, OK, I have to phrase it differently. So if I get you right, the main problem is unaccompanied young people. So would you then agree with me that maybe one solution is to allow for them to be together with their family, so they have their parents to watch them, so they don't commit crimes here in Europe?…

Rights, support and protection of victims of crime (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Mr Commissioner, imagine you are a victim of a crime, or a relative is a victim of a crime. And then you see your face, your name on posters and social media posts and demonstrations here in Parliament, in speeches, used as a pawn for political gains over and over again. And you have to first live through all of that, what you suffered, over and over again because you're reminded …

Rights, support and protection of victims of crime (debate)

Watch

Madam President, it's a little bit late, it's not on the speech of the previous colleague. I had to check it first. It's in accordance with Rule 10(1), the first half-sentence. It relates to the speech by Mr Mazurek claiming that we have blood on our hands, that we are to blame for rapes and murders directly. This is not within the Rules of Procedure. I cannot, unfortunately, stop Mr Mazurek from …

DE Question

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

Watch

Thank you, Madame, for accepting the blue card. You have rightly mentioned that care work in particular is usually or often carried out by women. The whole thing is also problematic if it goes in the direction of a property compensation in divorces, so if one spouse, in the case usually the husband, has earned for years much more than the wife or another spouse who has done this care work. Do you …

DE Speech

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Watch

Yes, thank you very much for your reply, Madam. I believe what is important to understand, what many people in the populist or extremist camp in particular do not seem to be able to understand, is that we as politicians are capable of multitasking. It always seems as if we can't deal with one issue just because we deal with another, or as if we have to constantly weigh up. Of course, sometimes we …

DE Question

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Watch

Ms. Bischof, thank you very much for accepting the blue card. We have just discussed whether it is a problem to ask colleagues who are spreading lies here a question about the ‘blue card’ procedure – whether they will then no longer be given speaking time for these lies. That's why I'd just ask you: It is precisely here that we had the colleague who claimed that our climate policy or other objecti…

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Watch

Dear colleague, I would love to have a very long discussion with you about the question of whether your political party or political group follows an ideology or not, and whether all politics does not rely on ideologies in some way or another. But I will ask another question. So you're not talking about identity rights, you're talking about the Green Deal – so I rephrase my question. Are you aware…

EN Question

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Watch

Thank you, colleague, for accepting the blue card. I guess when you talk about the EU supporting ideologies, you mean stuff like identity rights, protection of LGBTQI+ persons, etc. Are you aware of the fact that all scientific research and all studies regarding the economy show that people who are discriminated against are a weaker factor in the economy, so that all of what you call 'ideological …

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)

Watch

Thank you, Mr Colleague, for giving me the honour of speaking with you in my own language. I am also pleased that you are very concerned about the economic situation, the economic miracle in Germany. The economic miracle in Germany took place above all because there were no links between politics and business. So, I'll ask you again: Do you not think that the Hungarian economy, and thus also the G…

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)

Watch

Colleague, I really admire your care for the small and medium enterprises that you expressed in your speech. And I was wondering, would you agree with me that it is bad for the small and medium enterprises if all the big enterprises are accumulated over years and years in the hands of people who are directly linked to government officials, like we have seen in Hungary in the past 15 years?…

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)

Watch

Thank you Damian for accepting the blue card. I also see that it is short-sighted and wrong to block the convergence of the internal market because of possible losses of one's own. I would like to say this to our Chancellor, whom you also mentioned, Friedrich Merz. Now, however, I can only ask one question here and cannot do so. That's why I wanted to ask you what you could say to Friedrich Merz o…

Presentation of the Fertilisers Action Plan (debate)

Watch

So really, you never disappoint me, Mr. Bausemer. I have never been disappointed with the creativity you have shown. I wonder how you want to know how many farmers I know, but just on the sidelines. I think you're misunderstanding this. And I don't think you've listened to these people properly. I believe you are using these people only for your own political opportunism and your own maintenance o…

Presentation of the Fertilisers Action Plan (debate)

Watch

Thank you very much, Mr Bausemer. I am always impressed by the depth and creativity of your thoughts. I would like to put this on record here. Mr Bausemer, you said that farmers would rather have cheap fertilisers than green fertilisers, and I wonder: Have you ever talked to them? Do you not think that the farmers want above all that nature is doing well, and that they are therefore in the broades…

Presentation of the Fertilisers Action Plan (debate)

Watch

The first thing is: what is the difference between sustainable and green when it comes to the production of fertilisers? And secondly, I think you misunderstood my question. I said: should we not do anything in our power to make them cheaper? Because this, at least through subsidiaries, through certain legislation, we can influence the market. We do it every day. This is our main job here apart fr…

EN Question

Presentation of the Fertilisers Action Plan (debate)

Watch

Thank you, colleague, for accepting the blue card. You said that they need cheap European fertilisers, not necessarily green fertilisers. Would you agree with me that, in the best case scenario, they would get cheap European green fertilisers? And if so, should we not do everything in our power to make this possible?…

EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)

Watch

You said in your speech that this is a generational task that the Commission is taking up, and I could not agree more. So I was wondering, in your personal experience and in your personal opinion, do you think the generation that is on average in charge in the higher echelons of the Commission has the technical understanding to really pursue this endeavour?…

EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)

Watch

Good morning, Ms. Berg! I am glad that you gave at least a somewhat more serious speech than Mr Sonneborn normally did. I wonder, then, since you have raised the legitimate security concerns with regard to the freedom of data of citizens: If we don't do it as we have suggested here, what can we do to improve the data security of our citizens?…

The impact of the implementation of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89/EU on fisheries in selected fishing areas and sea basins (debate)

Watch

Mr President! Dear people of Europe! I have to admit, for a very brief moment I really thought the AfD would make a serious contribution today. Because yes, the conflict between fisheries, aquaculture and offshore wind power is real. Many coastal communities feel overlooked, and this is a legitimate criticism. But with the AfD, it's like a broken station clock: In a nutshell, you think it might wo…

Negative trade-related effects of global overcapacity on the Union steel market (debate)

Watch

Mr President, now you catch me a little bit off guard, I thought I am not on the speaker's list, but it does not matter. I am here to speak. I am paid to speak. I can do a speech. Dear people of Europe, I think the European steel market is one of the most important areas of our economy, not only because it brought this Union together, historically speaking. It was the agreement on steel, on the sh…

Order of business

Watch

Madam President, I would first like to make clear that me speaking against this is not, in any case, a lack of solidarity for the victims of this terrorism attack or support of the terrorists in any kind. I think it is very important that you know the reasoning of your enemies. If you listen to the reasoning that many terror organisations – from al‑Qaeda to the Islamic State, to other terrorist or…

The need for targeted criminal provisions and platforms’ responsibility to effectively address cyberbullying and online harassment (RC-B10-0206/2026)

Watch

Madam President, dear people of Europe, I know what it feels when your phone becomes a weapon. I've been in politics for two years now, and in these two years I have received messages that I will not repeat in this Chamber. I have seen what coordinated online hate does to a person, to their sleep, to their confidence, to their sense of reality. And I think you, Madam President, have too. I am some…

Enforcement of the Digital Markets Act (B10-0190/2026)

Watch

Madam President, dear people of Europe, today I voted in favour of this resolution on the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act because the real question is not technical – it is political. Who decides the rules for the new European digital market? Europe or someone else? A handful of foreign platforms today control the gateways to our digital lives – the app stores we use, the search results we …

Financial literacy and the rise of finfluencers in the context of the savings and investments union (A10-0082/2026 - Lídia Pereira)

Watch

Madam President, dear people of Europe, if you scroll through your feed today, you don't see a bank adviser in a stiff suit, you see content creators who have done more to get my generation interested in investing than any government brochure ever could. This is a massive win for democratisation of financial knowledge. But as we build this savings and investment union, we have to ensure the rules …

Cali fund – follow up from the COP16 UN Convention on Biodiversity (debate)

Watch

Madam President, dear people of Europe, Mr Commissioner, sometimes I wonder if it's because I'm young or, as Ms Furet explained to me in great length right now, poorly educated, but sometimes I have the feeling that we lost the ability to be brave in this House and on the world stage. Of course this is not a perfect instrument. It is voluntary or the nations have to put it into action, and this is…
