What Vicent spoke about.

Well, in the right of access to housing and the European Pillar of Social Rights, which we have to guarantee and which will be reformed precisely in this legislature. Simple as that. In the end, it is also a question of responding to what you said in the campaign to your constituents: He was going to defend citizens against speculators and corrupt people. Do you know who the speculators and the corrupt are? Those who speculate with our lives without leaving us access to housing and those who corrupt other politicians to generate more and more social and economic advantages to precisely the big construction companies and the big banks that are speculating with our lives. That's what we're here for, Mr. Alvise. That's what we're here for, to ensure housing for all people.

Mr. President, while we are here listening to the representatives of the housing commercials, more than a hundred, two hundred, three hundred people are being thrown into the streets who cannot afford their homes even if they are workers, who although they work every day do not make it to the end of the month and cannot afford their homes. While this happens, in Europe we have eleven million empty houses and some are determined to liberalize more land, and not to rehabilitate empty houses, put a stop to speculators and put an end to those banks that are making our lives a pure speculation instead of guaranteeing the right to housing. And it is not good for us to be told here that there are no competences, that we have no competences. How is there not going to be competences to advance what it is to guarantee the right to housing, which is an essential right? If there's no housing, do we all have to get out of here now? If there are no rights to guarantee them, if there are no competences, what are we doing here? We must all work together to ensure that housing is truly guaranteed for all people living in Europe. And for this we must mobilize investment plans in rehabilitation, we must mobilize plans for the purchase of homes to be affordable and public, and we must intervene in the market to lower rents already.

Madam President, the European directive on renewable energy sources calls on the Member States to ensure that it is implemented without significant impact on the environment, prioritising rooftops and already degraded areas and excluding specifically protected areas such as Natura 2000. Nothing to do with reality. Spain – the Spanish Government – is systematically infringing this European directive at the service of large companies. In fact, in the Maestrazgo, in Els Ports, a Danish investment fund plans to install more than 60 wind turbines in Natura 2000 areas and SPA areas. We are talking about electric megatowers installed in buildings, in areas and in farmhouses where people have lived for centuries. It is a megaproject that is flagrantly violating this Directive and has administrative irregularities that have already denounced platforms such as No to the MAT or Landscapes of Teruel. Ladies and gentlemen, Els Ports and El Maestrazgo are our homes, it is our life, it is our territory. How long will Europe continue to look the other way while destroying the rural world in favour of big business? How long and by when are we going to achieve a fair and truly sustainable energy transition?

Mr. President, President Metsola will hear these words: school, play, tramuntana, gregal... also orxata. These words are exactly the same in your language, Maltese, as in mine, Valencian, but, incredibly, in this Parliament I can only pronounce them if I say them in Maltese: That's how amazing the thing is. Maltese is spoken by half a million people; my language, our language, by more than ten million, as many as Swedish or Czech, but the problem is not how many people speak a language or how many languages people speak, no, the problem is that languages lose speakers, that all the languages that we have official in Europe do not have the same official status here in this Parliament. Precisely for that reason, because there are other languages that in our States are official and not here, we insisted on President Metsola to carry the official status of the Valencian, of the Galician and from Basque to the Bureau of Parliament. That's why now, from here, I call on her and ask her: When is he going to make that promise effective, when is he going to end this nonsense?
