Human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2025 (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Europe cannot afford weakness, weakness towards our enemies, but also weakness towards our allies. And we must stand firmly on the side of international law, on the side of territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. 2025 has been a very difficult year for human rights in the world, but everything seems to indicate that this year will be the same, just as di…

Situation in Venezuela following the extraction of Maduro and the need to ensure a peaceful democratic transition (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The High Representative! First of all, we are dealing with new facts. The first was the US operation on Nicolas Maduro on January 3. That's good news. On the other hand, what worries us, what we want to talk about in this House, is primarily the US cooperation with the regime and the marginalization of the opposition, which discourages the prosp…

Territorial integrity and sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark: the need for a united EU response to US blackmail attempts (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Our common task is to strive for a world where rules apply. The world of fists is the past. A world in which the big ones can illegally seek the territory of smaller countries. I want to say very clearly: The European Union has been, is and will continue to be a partner for the United States. But this partnership must be based on principles, international law and…
