The EU’s role in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the accountability of Israel under international law (topical debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the title of this debate, to begin with, is tricky: It judges Israel's responsibility and omits that of the guilty. Any serious debate requires starting from the truth and here some groups have settled into deliberate lying. Three facts are over and over again. First, if we talk about rebuilding Gaza, it is because Hamas decided to destroy it. On 7 October 2023,…

Presidential elections in Honduras, the non-recognition of the outcome by the incumbent administration and the attacks on opposition members of the National Assembly

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the elections in Honduras have been the most important in recent decades. The country was at the crossroads of remaining a Western democracy or succumbing to the Bolivarian drift longed for by the Zelaya-Castro marriage, a path that would have consolidated Honduras as a satellite of Venezuela and Cuba, as well as the São Paulo Forum and the Puebla Group. That…

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

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today the world is a little freer. Today Venezuela is better off. Today we can see a path of freedom and democracy in Venezuela, but also in Cuba and other liberticidal regimes, whose time is running out thanks to the dismantling of the criminal and criminal Nicolás Maduro. All this would not have been possible without the previous weakening of the regime tha…

The role of simple tax rules and tax fragmentation in European competitiveness (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe needs more freedom, more competitiveness and more prosperity. But that is not the path to which the report we are debating today leads us. First, because the implementation of Pillar 2 of the OECD is a nonsense that ties the hands and feet of Member States when designing their fiscal policy. Even more so if we take into account that it is not applied by c…

EU-US trade negotiations (debate)

Mr President, the Commission has wasted precious time in reaching a beneficial agreement for Europe, but not only that: has actively hampered the negotiations. First, months were wasted on unnecessary dramatisation promoted by the Commission itself, driven more by ideological prejudices and anti-Trump hysteria than by the general interest. Time was devoted to alarming Europeans about negative tari…
