The urgent need to combat discrimination in the EU through the horizontal anti-discrimination directive (topical debate)

Mr President, today we are discussing the need to combat discrimination. Respect for democracy, human rights and our Christian faith are elements of our European heritage. But how can we speak of common values when we undermine the values of our faith? A few days ago we witnessed a sad incident. The supposedly progressive authorities in Brussels set up a manger with faceless figures with empty hea…

Incentivising defence-related investments in the EU budget to implement the ReArm Europe Plan (debate)

Madam President, Thucydides: Preparedness prevents war. Pericles: Peace can be preserved with force. Vegetius: If you want peace, prepare for war. Clausewitz: To avoid war, convince the adversary that war is not in his interest. Unfortunately, this has taken many years for Europe to understand. To avoid war it will not be with wishful thinking or with leftist and green paranoid policies. Russia's …

Condemning the illegal unilateral declaration of the secessionist entity created by Türkiye in Cyprus and the continued Turkish military occupation (debate)

Mr President, Turkey has invaded, killed, raped, plundered, uprooted thousands of Greek Cypriots from their homes and continues to occupy 37 % of the Republic of Cyprus. In 1983 he attempted to legitimize illegality through unilateral separatist actions. But no declaration of so-called independence, no false flag or so-called government can legitimize the occupation. Therefore, no international or…

Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the islamist attacks of 13 November 2015 in Paris (debate)

Madam President, Article 200. I must inform you of a very serious incident last Saturday. In the village of Denia, armed Turkish soldiers advanced on land belonging to the Republic of Cyprus. They invaded the ceasefire line and attacked farmers, boldly announcing that this European piece of land now belongs to the Turkish occupiers. Immediately I rushed to the point where representatives of the Un…

Mr President, not only institutional and budgetary reforms are necessary for enlargement, as the motion for a resolution states. Alignment with the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy is also crucial. Also problematic and dangerous is the attempt to abolish unanimity and move to the principle of majority. That is, Commissioner, if Turkey serves the strategic and economic interests …

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (debate)

Mr President, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty reminds us all of the tragic reality experienced by millions of people around the world.

Let us all realize that behind every poverty number lies a person, a family, a child who l…

Common agricultural policy (joint debate)

Madam President, agriculture is undoubtedly the backbone of our economy. Unfortunately, agreements like Mercosur not only do not support our peoples, but they also exterminate farmers and the primary sector. Small and medium-sized producers see their efforts becoming prey to the appetites of multinationals and unfair trade agreements. We can't stay as spectators anymore. We must defend our rural s…

Revision of the Visa Suspension Mechanism (debate)

The demographic problem will be solved with the support of families.
