Existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded (debate)

Mr President, I must admit I find it a little bit funny how some colleagues in this House seem to think we have this debate because someone doesn't like the government in Hungary. No, this is about a government in Hungary that seems like they don't like their own citizens, that they don't respect the democracy of the country that has elected them. But Hungary deserves better than this. The citizen…

Combating violence against women and girls, including the exploitation of motherhood (debate)

Madam President, in this House we love to speak about strategic autonomy, but unfortunately, we rarely speak about bodily autonomy. We must protect and safeguard women's right to decide what we want to do with our bodies. No one should risk losing their life because they don't want to be pregnant, but unfortunately, they don't have the right or the access to safe abortions. Forcing women to carry …

UN Climate Change Conference 2025 in Belém, Brazil (COP30) (debate)

Madam President, Climate policy is so last year. At least, that's how it sounds when you listen to some priorities in this House. But when did fighting for our planet's survival become something to hide away? When did climate action turn into something that could be torn apart in the name of simplification or deregulation? On our quest towards competitiveness, we cannot ignore the simple truth tha…

Chemicals (joint debate)

Mr President, being a woman really sucks sometimes. We earn less, we do more unpaid care work and, on top of that, we spend almost a quarter of our lives bleeding. Periods aren't just painful – they're toxic. They're literally toxic because many period products still contain PFAS, the so-called 'forever chemicals'. The same substances that we ban in food packaging are still allowed in products tha…

Common agricultural policy (joint debate)

Yes. The question was why is he not seeing this if he wants a competitive Europe or a competitive farmer?

Common agricultural policy (joint debate)

Madam President! Kristoffer, you're talking about competitiveness and you're talking a lot about meat, but if you'd like a competitive farm, we might have to produce in some new ways as well. All too often I hear you shoot down the good ideas of a more plant-based agriculture, and I find that extremely unfortunate, because it is no shame when the President of the Commission is standing in the sala…

Common agricultural policy (joint debate)

Mr President! There's a whole world full of problems. So what exactly are we spending our time on in this House? That's sausage talk. In other words: Can we call these sausages sausages sausages or not? And who has decided that we should spend our time on it? It is you here on the right wing of this House. According to you, Europeans get confused if they meet a vegetarian burger or a plant sausage…

Recent legislative changes in Hungary and their impact on fundamental rights (debate)

Madam President, the right to be who you are, to live without fear of state repression, to peaceful assembly – these are all rights that lie at the very heart of what it means to be European. So, when one Member State tramples on these rights, it's our collective responsibility to act. Viktor Orbán does not speak for all Hungarians. We stand with the brave officials, the organisers, the citizens f…

Accelerating the phase-out of Russian gas and other Russian energy commodities in the EU (debate)

Mr. President! Thank you and thank you for the review of initiatives since 2022. Unfortunately, we have to note that there is a lot of work ahead of us. Donald Trump, he was right about one thing when, last week in front of Congress, he drilled his finger directly into an open European wound. That is, since the war broke out, we have given more money to Putin through our imports of gas and oil tha…

US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, the World Health Organisation and the suspension of US development and humanitarian aid (debate)

Madam President! Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of the Paris Agreement, and for the next four years we will look far beyond the U.S. delegation every time the climate crisis needs to be resolved at the United Nations Global Climate Change Conference. It is a huge problem that such a large and polluting nation is not to be found at the negotiating table. Or when the most vulnerable w…

Heat record year 2024 - the need for climate action to fight global warming (debate)

Mr President, Trump is taking over the presidency as we speak, and while we have this debate, he's making it clear that the US intends to leave the Paris Agreement again. While 2024 is the hottest year ever recorded – and even if someone tries to claim this is just a coincidence – I would like to remind you that each of the last 10 years are in the top 10 warmest years ever recorded, so climate di…

Ceasefire in Gaza - the urgent need to release the hostages, to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to pave the way for a two-state solution (debate)

Mr President! The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has sparked hope in Gaza. A hope, because the residents of the night could sleep without the sound of air alarm and as a backdrop. Civilians are given space to mourn lost family members, memories lost in the ruins, and mothers can hug their returning children. The ceasefire does not mean peace. This is just the first step in the struggle for a t…

Restoring the EU’s competitive edge – the need for an impact assessment on the Green Deal policies (topical debate)

Mr President! Is it strong competitiveness or green transition? No, if we do not limit global warming, then there is no competitiveness at all to strengthen. There is no economy to boost, so do not let the good conditions of companies in the world be a contradiction to achieving Europe's climate ambitions. In this House, most people can agree that the EU economy needs to be strengthened, as well a…

Right to clean drinking water in the EU (debate)

Madam President! PFAS is all around us, in our nature and environment, in the water we drink. Yes, in the water our children drink. This is a scandal! Through our drinking water, PFAS accumulates in our blood, liver, kidneys, and it stays there forever, and the consequences for us and our children: increased risk of cancer, birth defects and reduced fertility. A lot of the PFAS that we drink is sp…

UN Climate Change Conference 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan (COP29) (debate)

Mr President, very soon we'll be on our way to Azerbaijan and even though the COP29 in Baku has only just begun, I kind of feel like we are already falling behind. Time is running out if we want to reach our climate goals. I want the EU to be a global climate leader and to set a strong example for other climate polluters to raise the ambitions. And with Trump threatening to leave the Paris Agreeme…

The extreme wildfires in Southern Europe, in particular Portugal and Greece and the need for further EU climate action on adaptation and mitigation (debate)

Madam President! Yesterday I came home from Portugal. A lovely country with a rich nature, but also a country that has recently been plagued by violent forest fires that have ravaged large areas and left the otherwise rich nature completely barren. And the news is constantly filled with stories about yet another country being hit by fierce forest fires. Incidents, which we usually refer to as cent…

The devastating floods in Central and Eastern Europe, the loss of lives and the EU’s preparedness to act on such disasters exacerbated by climate change (debate)

Here the President! My thoughts are with Romania, Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Germany because everywhere right now the water is pouring in, and even large dykes must give way to devastating floods. And at the same time, we have seen overwhelming forest fires. Last time it was in Greece, now it is Portugal that is on fire. If anyone were to be left out there questioni…

State of the Energy union (debate)

Mr President! Firstly, a huge thank you to you, Kadri, for your always tireless efforts for Europe's energy. When we read this year's State of the Energy Union report, it is good news when we see that half of our electricity now comes from renewable energy and that wind power has overtaken gas as the EU's second largest source of electricity. So thank you so much for the effort. My mission for thi…
