Urgent need for a tax on super-profits of polluters: protecting people’s health and lowering energy bills in times of the climate crisis (topical debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, have you seen the mobilisations for housing in my country? Have you seen the camps, the mass mobilizations? Have you seen young French students mobilize? I think you thought that working people would swallow, swallow and swallow - and if not, that with a few sticks the police would serve - even though you rule more and more against their interests. Did you think that yo…

The threat of war crimes, the escalating violations of international humanitarian law and the human rights situation in El-Obeid, Sudan

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I suppose you have seen images of women in Sudan with their children crying in despair. Faced with this, there are two options. One is to explain what is happening in Sudan by resorting to the old account of colonialism according to which the conflicts in the Global South are due to the fact that they are barbarians, that they do not know how to live together in…

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, during the minute I speak, Elon Musk's assets will have increased by $280,000, Zuckerberg's by $74,000, Bezos' by $40,000. I insist, only in a minute. And while Trump's friend oligarchs get rich, what good is AI for us? To live better, so that scientific advances are put at the service of the general interest? Well, no. Look, Commissioner, today at the NATO summ…

Madam President, Mrs Kallas, Cuba needs urgent help. How can it be that on the verge of a humanitarian collapse, when there is no fuel, when there is no light, you are doing the dirty work for Donald Trump? Because they come here to talk about the Cuban government and deliberately forget the fact that Cuba has been suffering for 60 years from a criminal blockade by Washington, which Trump is inten…

Madam President, this Parliament takes a step that will always be remembered: To recognize something as simple and at the same time as important as that if a person lives a sexual relationship in which he has not consented, in which there is no consensus, in which there is no agreement, it is not a free relationship, it is sexual violence. For centuries, women's bodies have been conceived as objec…

Mr President, it no longer takes much imagination to know what you want to do here with migrants in Europe. We are seeing it in the United States: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), under Trump's orders, murders people, massively locks up those who have not committed any crime, separates children from their parents, and terrorizes the population. Terrorism and fascism in broad daylight. Th…

It seems that you are competing for who is the corrupt exemplar, for which of the two he steals best. What is behind – what is at issue – is the case of ‘bipartisanship’: t…
