European Ocean Pact (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the step taken by the signing of the European Ocean Pact as a result of the United Nations Summit in Nice. It is, without a doubt, a relevant political advance, a declaration of intentions that recognizes the urgency of acting for the health of our seas, but we cannot talk about sustainability while imposing restrictions without a sci…

Resilience and the need to improve the interconnection of energy grid infrastructure in the EU: the first lessons from the blackout in the Iberian Peninsula (debate)

Mr President, the blackout on 28 April was not an accident, it was a direct consequence of the ideological negligence of climate fanaticism and of an Agenda 2030 that has turned energy into a political toy in the service of the left. That day the technology did not fail, but the policy failed: Socialism, disguised as environmentalism, failed. Plants that guarantee supply are being dismantled, nucl…

An urgent assessment of the applicability of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement (PDCA) with Cuba (debate)

I still think the same thing: I reaffirm that Cuba has been run by corrupt people for sixty years. It is run by corrupt people who starve the population.

An urgent assessment of the applicability of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement (PDCA) with Cuba (debate)

Madam President, Cuba is the living example of the absolute failure of communism. There's no other way to put it: Communism has destroyed the country and betrayed the fundamental principles of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement. The recent revocation of the probation of opponents José Daniel Ferrer and Félix Navarro is not isolated, but part of a systematic repression against those w…

Topical debate (Rule 169) - Social Europe: making life affordable, protecting jobs, wages and health for all

Mr President, today I want to talk to you about a mistake that is impoverishing Spain and Europe: raise the minimum wage by decree while suffocating small and medium-sized enterprises with taxes. In Spain, the left has increased the minimum wage by more than 80% since 2016, without our economy growing at the same rate. What is the result? For wages are getting lower, in real terms, and small busin…

100 days of the new Commission – Delivering on defence, competitiveness, simplification and migration as our priorities (topical debate)

Mr President, Madam Vice-President, today we are talking about cutting red tape to improve European competitiveness, but let us be clear: the most serious bottleneck for the reindustrialisation of Spain and Europe is energy, and not because of lack of generation, but because of inability or deliberate refusal to secure supply where it is needed. For example: in Spain, 50% of applications for high …

Cutting red tape and simplifying business in the EU: the first Omnibus proposals (debate)

Madam President, the Commission is selling us its new plan as a big step towards simplification, but what we have ahead of us is more of the same: empty rhetoric and insufficient measures that arrive late and poorly. We were promised less bureaucracy and more competitiveness, but what we see is a patch that keeps intact this regulatory burden that suffocates our companies. Europe remains entangled…

EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, today I address you with the firmness of rejecting the incorporation of products that do not meet the same conditions and requirements that are required of ours, our farmers, our fishermen and our farmers. This agreement with Mercosur promotes unfair competition. Does it really make up for the price we're going to pay: to consume food without guarantees, with pesticides…

Competitiveness Compass (debate)

Mr President, the European Commission promises us growth, but in reality it brings nothing but spending, regulations and more taxes. How long will Brussels continue to ignore reality? Former ECB President Mario Draghi has already made this clear in his report: Europe is impoverished against the United States because we do not have a dynamic capital market. Companies that want to grow are devoured …

Situation in Venezuela following the usurpation of the presidency on 10 January 2025 (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is outrageous to see how the regime of Nicolás Maduro continues to consolidate with impunity, while the international community – including the European Union – is unable to exert effective pressure. But what is truly astonishing is the implicit complicity of the Spanish government led by Pedro Sánchez and his allies on the left, who have helped facilitate th…

Challenges facing EU farmers and agricultural workers: improving working conditions, including their mental well-being (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, we cannot align ourselves with the interests of large industries and abandon those who have sustained our nations: farmers, winners and fishermen. The agreement with Mercosur condemns the Spanish primary sector to compete in inequality. Can you imagine for a moment that from January 1 your annual salary will be limited to twenty-seven days worked? Our salary would be ab…

The important role of cities and regions in the EU – for a green, social and prosperous local development (debate)

Mr President, how are we going to have affordable housing in Spain if the municipalities, the autonomous communities and the State are the main vulture housing funds, the ones that really make it more expensive, and not private activity? Housing must no longer be the source of funding for administrations. In Spain, 32% of the price of housing is land and 25% are taxes: municipal taxes, regional ta…

Mr. President, you're talking about the housing problem. Is it logical that they want to make Europe the home of millions of Africans, while Europeans have no home in which to develop their lives? Lighten up. In some of the cities of Spain, young people and families live in caravans, zulos or balconies for not being able to pay or rent one and we have the biggest crisis of illegal occupation in ou…
