Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Thank you very much. It will be three years since the conflict in Ukraine began, and half of this plenary has been repeating the same military propaganda, the same moralisation and the same blind calls for a few billion more and Ukraine to defend itself for three years. Colleagues, it's time to wake up from your childhood dreams. Ukraine cannot defend itself, and by arming it endlessly, you are on…

Urgent measures to strengthen the competitiveness and safeguard quality jobs in the EU’s automotive sector (debate)

Madam President. We have been talking here for an hour about urgent measures to save jobs in the automotive industry, which has always been one of the pillars of the European economy. However, in recent years, Stellantis has had to suspend routes to Poissy, Eisenach and other locations. Audi has closed its plant in Brussels. Mercedes is discontinuing production of its electronic GLC in Bremen. And…

And this institution, these MEPs, refused to even discuss it. Month after month, …

Mr President, the moment is approaching when Brussels will fully launch the so-called migration pact, which will change the face of our civilization forever from June this year. This pact is not a solution, but an absolute betrayal of Europeans. Instead of the immediate closure of external borders and mass deportations, the Commission is imposing mandatory solidarity, the redistribution of illegal…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)

I think the answer lies in where Ms Urszula von der Leyen came from, what position she held before and what scandals are associated with her, corruption, both in terms of her minister of defence within Germany and in terms of that pfizergat, I will call it in brief.

Safeguarding the access to democratic media, such as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (debate)

If you think free media is funded by the CIA, congratulations on that. And propaganda, which was, for example, 1956 when it was this radio that was spreading propaganda to Hungarian citizens that, if they tried to protest, they would come to their aid from the West, and it did not happen, and they themselves acknowledged that it was deliberate propaganda. So no, I don't think free media is funded …

Mr President, Radio Free Europe has been conceived since its inception as an American tool of anti-communist propaganda.
