Action Plan for the Automotive Industry (debate)

We had a defense debate yesterday. We were talking about 800 billion that we want to invest in Europe's defence.

Mr President, thank you very much. The subject of the debate is the situation in Sweden, while politicians of Kaczyński's party from Poland came up with the idea to lie again in this room. Why do they do that? Because there are elections in Poland and they think that once again they can lie here with impunity.
