This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Portugal, Luís Montenegro (debate)
Madam President, Prime Minister, Commissioner, Foreign Minister, you are obviously at home. Portugal joined the European Economic Community 40 years ago. 40 years of PSD, PS in Portugal, 40 years of PPE and socialists at the centre of European power. In Lisbon, they alternated, in Brussels, they shared power. 40 years later, it's time to look at the bad results. Portugal remains 20% poorer than th…

Future of EU support for Russian democratic forces, anti-war actors and repressed civil society (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, my dear friends, let us make a little history. European mistakes since the end of the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall: very little political dialogue with Russia and total energy dependence on that country. The result was predictable because we moved away politically and embraced economic and energy dependence. My dear friends, far, far from accepting t…

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)
Mr. President. President, Commissioner, I'm speaking Portuguese. We are, without hesitation, on the side of the Ukrainian people, on the side of mothers who have lost children, on the side of a people who have seen their land invaded, their cities destroyed and their future suspended. Russian aggression must be clearly condemned, as we would condemn it if it were our own country. Ukraine's soverei…

An EU future for the Western Balkans (joint debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, I have been talking, and now again, in this Hemicycle about the Balkans. As shadow rapporteur for Bosnia and North Macedonia and the former envoy to the Western Balkans of the European Union, and I was also ambassador to these countries, I must express my deep concern about the European Union's approach. I can tell you something: both these countries we…

The role of the EU in efforts for peace and stability throughout the Middle East after the announced deal between the US and Iran (debate)
Madam President, High-Representative Kaja Kallas, dear colleagues, the announced deal between the United States and Iran is being presented as a possible opening for peace and stability in the Middle East. But Europe must not confuse an agreement with peace, and it must not confuse diplomacy with weakness. If the European Union wants to play a serious role after this deal, it must begin by naming …

Repression and execution of protesters, dissidents, political prisoners and religious minorities in Iran
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, there is no worse crime than killing our own. There is no worse crime than slaughtering our populations, tens of thousands of people. Worse: There is no worse crime than having mercenaries from Pakistan and Afghanistan to kill our citizens. This is the Islamic regime of Iran: hanging Olympic athletes, hanging young people just because they went to …

Global Gateway – past impacts and future orientation (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Global Gateway has been presented as the European Union's great response to the geopolitical and economic context of our time. It is therefore completely out of step, because the context has evolved and we have not. It is only a context of a festival of ideological dogmas. We are talking about EUR 300 billion, ladies and gentlem…

EU enlargement strategy (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, enlargement can be very good or very bad. It can be very good when it strengthens stability, peace and prosperity in Europe. It can be very good when it respects the accession criteria, in particular the Copenhagen criteria and, on a case-by-case basis, is making use of the strengths of that country which wants to join the European Union. It can be…

European Democracy Shield – very large online platform algorithms, foreign interference and the spread of disinformation (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, I liked your speech on Bosnia, I did not like your speech on the Democracy Shield. My dear friends, it is not with dictatorships and autocracies that the democratic deficit is fought. On the contrary, it is with the will of the populations, it is with the informed populations. This is very simple. This fight against social networks and this support for media Classics ha…

30th anniversary of the signing of the Dayton-Paris Peace Agreement (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, I like your speech, Commissioner. I'm going to speak in English. Mr President, Commissioner, I liked your speech. I was in Bosnia before, during and after the Paris-Dayton Accords. It's been 30 years. Thirty years is a long time in an evolving world, and that means that agreements have to be reviewed. We have to think about a different future than the past. The strength…

Communication on the Democracy Shield (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, the key word is fear: fear, fear. Democracy is not protected with shields, democracy is protected with deeds, democracy is protected with freedom, democracy is protected with truth. And you can see from this Parliament where democracy is when the third political force is subject to a cordon sanitaire that does not allow it to hold committee presidencies or other activit…

The first European Annual Asylum and Migration report and the setting up of the Annual Solidarity Pool (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, let us then talk about human rights. Everyone talks about human rights and I ask: and our human rights, the human rights of European citizens? In Portugal, 20% of Portuguese live on the poverty line. We have homelessness, we have homelessness, and what are we going to do with them? Are we going to preempt them in favor of illegal immigrants? I d…

Polarisation and increased repression in Serbia, one year after the Novi Sad tragedy (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, I was serving in Serbia in 1999. I was instrumental in downing Milošević. You know one of the reasons why? Because I promised the Serbs a future in Europe. Eight years afterwards, I came back as a special representative of the European Union. And what had been done? Zero by us! So we are complaining about Serbia, but we are not complaining about us – for what we did …

Institutional consequences of the EU enlargement negotiations (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, we are, of course, in favour of enlargement, especially in relation to the countries of the Western Balkans, because there is a black hole, which is there in the middle of Europe, which it is essential to fill. However, enlargement should not be a pretext for destroying unanimity, crushing small countries or diluting sovereignty. And, by the way, I wanted to tell you: B…

Recent peace agreement in the Middle East and the role of the EU (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, my dear friends, it seems that history does not pass through this Parliament. It seems that history in the Middle East began on October 7th two years ago and that what happened back doesn't matter. How many times were the Israelites harassed, how many times was Israel not attacked? And I'm telling you, this isn't a situation that's going to be solved overnight. It wi…

Promoting EU digital rules: protecting European sovereignty (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, when the Commission speaks of digital sovereignty, it forgets the very foundations of sovereignty, which is the freedom of citizens and the sovereignty of the Member States. What it actually proposes is centralization and control. Digital identity, the digital euro, the so-called chat controlThey are not instruments of freedom, they are mechanisms of surveill…
