Recruitment of children by organised crime (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Until recently, no one would have proposed such a debate, because there was no problem of recruiting children to criminal groups in Europe. Yesterday you handed out the European Order of Merit and applauded Chancellor Angela Merkel standing up. Today you are wringing your hands over the fate of children recruited by criminal groups. Mass recruitment of children as soldiers of criminal groups is a phenomenon of the last 10 years. What happened 10 years ago in Europe? Ten years ago, Europe was flooded by a wave of illegal immigration, for which Angela Merkel bears political responsibility. Wherever there are large concentrations of migrants, there is a huge increase in crime. Yes, all promoters of migration in Europe are responsible for increasing crime. In Poland, which has resisted illegal immigration, we feel safe and the exploitation of children by criminal groups is virtually non-existent. That is why we will never agree to relocate migrants. Never, never, never.
