General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2026 – all sections (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, Minister, the 2026 budget comes at a moment where Europe faces unprecedented pressure. We feel the competition from major global players such as the US and China, and we are confronted with migration and instability to the south. And we have war on our continent. In this context, the European Union must show what we stand for: freedom, prosperity and shared responsibili…

Promoting EU digital rules: protecting European sovereignty (debate)

Thank you for taking the blue card. I just want to ask you, with the knowledge we have of all the information now sitting with big tech companies, driven – completely okay – by wanting to earn money and politically influenced, and also – an experience of my own – you're suddenly out, and you're not told why, you cannot get through to anybody. It's just 'you're out'. What are your concrete suggesti…

Promoting EU digital rules: protecting European sovereignty (debate)

I actually do agree with the first two or three sentences that you had in your speech that we are living in completely different times, and there are many things that we have to get used to using these devices. But I want to understand, could you tell us, amongst the biggest companies in the world – because you said it's impossible for the companies to obey the rules that we set out here to protec…

United response to recent Russian violations of the EU Member States’ airspace and critical infrastructure (debate)

I just want to put one simple question to you – or perhaps two. Are you the one who we should expect to call Putin? And who on earth is actually blocking the unanimity of this place? That is Orbán. It is your party's participant who is blocking that we cannot stand together. How are you going to solve that? Are you also going to call Orbán?…

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

Europe is on fire. 10,000 square kilometers of forest have been burned away in southern Europe this summer. Corresponds to the whole of Zealand and Funen. Three times as much as a normal summer and the largest area since you started measuring. And that's no wonder, because Europe is the continent in the world that warms up the fastest. But while it does, the Danish People's Party and the so-called…

Presentation of the Stockpiling Strategies - strengthening response capacities for a changing risk and threat landscape (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, our Preparedness Union is getting real. I could have spoken about viruses, threatening situations, but I will focus on the positive. We can be efficient in countering global health threats. As a Union, we must think together, innovate together, purchase together, stockpile together, and be ready to act together. Build on rescEU. It's time to leverage th…

Electricity grids: the backbone of the EU energy system (debate)

I just want to ask you, what is your suggestion – to stay relying on Russian gas and oil and gas from the Middle East? What is your actual solution? What is your actual source of energy looking ahead? And do you know what investment means? That means investing now, with a relatively short payback period, with the cheapest energy you could ever imagine when we get the grid running.…

Protecting Greenland's right to decide its own future and maintain the rule-based world order (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, allow me to address the people of Greenland. Your presence in Greenland dates back many thousand years. Yet modern history has brought you close to the European Union and has indeed brought Europe close to Greenland, opening up many new opportunities to work together. It is not only diplomacy connecting us, but a common desire for living in peace, the well-being of o…

European Action Plan on Rare Diseases (debate)

Mr President! Imagine a mother waking up her child every night to make sure he's still breathing. A father who spends more time navigating a chaotic healthcare system than playing with his daughter. Or a couple of parents who are thrown around between different doctors and hospitals and who spend several years getting the right diagnosis. In Denmark, you can feel completely alone with your rare di…

Guidelines for the 2026 budget - Section III (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, the world around us is changing rapidly. As we, the Members of this Parliament, work towards the next EU budget, we must make tough political decisions already today and act with responsibility. Our clean industrial deal must succeed. This means massive investments in grids, in electrification and hydrogen. Public health is an investment, not a cost. It…

Accelerating the phase-out of Russian gas and other Russian energy commodities in the EU (debate)

Mr. President! When you listen to someone here in the European Parliament, you can better understand that we are still using Russian gas. I don't have to mention names. We know who it is. There is someone here who does not think that Putin has done anything wrong and who, incidentally, thinks that the door should be wide open. It leaves more work and responsibility to the rest of us, and we must t…
