Protection of minors online (debate)

Mr. President, I was saying that today, from here, we want to send a very clear message that our children are not a business.

But look! We are co…

Escalation of the war and the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan (continuation of debate)

Madam President, this week there have been many calls for an end to the violence in Sudan, which is experiencing a civil war that has caused one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet, even if it does not have the visibility or importance that others do. And this week too, those who have sown terror in all these last years and months have shown themselves willing to collaborate with the Un…

Changing security landscape and the role of police at the heart of the EU’s internal security strategy (debate)

Mr Vice-President, we have been talking for some time about ensuring security in a holistic way and being autonomous and sovereign, and we are only aware of this when we have a situation that leaves us in check, such as the one we lived with Amazon Web Services yesterday. We can only live in peace and quiet if we are able to guarantee minimal physical, digital, air, maritime and energy security. T…

Mr President, very briefly: We are seeing the fragility of this peace process. We believe that it is time to do a lot of work, and to do it very discreetly, to prevent all those people, agents, States that want to destabilize the process from not succeeding. Because – let us not deceive ourselves – there are also many competing interests that we have in this peace process. Therefore, they make it …

Madam President, we are here today and some focus on the heinous act of Hamas two years ago and others on Netanyahu's utterly disproportionate response.

Devastating wildfires in Southern Europe: the need to strengthen EU aid to restore the massive loss of forests and enhancing EU preparedness (debate)

Mr President, we see repeated debates and attacks in this Parliament that we had when the damage happened. Natural disasters and dramas are again used to lie about climate change, to attack the opposite or to entangle in areas of competence. Do you know that as temperatures rise, the mountains burn and some argue, the far right rises? Each of them, from its own sphere of competence: prevention all…
