Post-2027 Common Agricultural Policy (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, what was the first great lesson that the pandemic left us? That without farmers there is no food, and without food there is no Europe. And there they were, our farmers, the first ones, when we needed them most. And today, five years later, this Commission is thanking you with a historic swipe at the CAP. The excuse? The EUR 30 billion we have to…

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

Mr González Casares, I think that to say that renewables had nothing to do with the blackout is to lie and be a little irresponsible, because that day, precisely, 71% of electricity generation in Spain was renewable – 58%, specifically, was solar: asynchronous sources without the ability to stabilize the network when the frequency fell. And Vox does not say this, I do not say it, the government's …

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

Madam President, this report confirms exactly what VOX has been denouncing for years, which is that they have put millions of Europeans at risk with a tremendously ideological, accelerated and technically unfeasible energy transition.

Deliberations of the Committee on Petitions in 2023 (debate)

Mr President, this Parliament today has a historic opportunity to live up to the principles it claims to uphold, because what has happened in Spain with the amnesty law is a frontal attack on the rule of law and on the equality of citizens before the law. This report mentions, for the first time, the treason involved in amnesty for criminals convicted of violating the constitutional order in excha…

Amending Regulation (EU) 2023/956 as regards simplifying and strengthening the carbon border adjustment mechanism (debate)

Mr. President, you knew, ladies and gentlemen. Since 2021, they knew that this European Green Deal rule would stifle our SMEs with disproportionate costs. Even the Commission itself recognised, in its impact assessment, that the CBAM would particularly penalise SMEs and yet approved it; They moved on as Europe's industrial fabric sank. Now, late and bad, as they have been doing lately in each plen…

High levels of retail food prices and their consequences for European consumers (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, do you know what a beef steak and a Tesla have in common? That for many European families today both products are inaccessible. Since 2019, beef in Spain has increased by 65%. But, in Europe, the shopping basket has increased by 30%, much more than the CPI.

Clean Industrial Deal (debate)

Madam President, the Clean Industry Pact is another wave of a Commission that legislates with ideological dogmas in hand and without any strategic vision.

Because the European Union, as you know, has no…
