Renewing the EU-Africa Partnership: building common priorities ahead of the Angola Summit (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Africa does not need alms. It needs real partnership, respect and real action. Instead of empty promises, invest in education. Instead of short-term humanitarian actions, let's build hospitals. Instead of selling untested or even harmful medicines to Africans, let's help them create their own safe solutions. Instead of further declarations of cooperation, let us …

The decision to impose a fine on Google: defending press and media freedom in the EU (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, The decision to impose a fine on Google is an example of a worrying trend: Punishing success instead of promoting innovation. Google has gained its position thanks to the technological advantage and services that millions of Europeans use every day. So is it really about protecting media pluralism or trying to weaken an uncomfortable giant? …

Humanitarian and security situation in Haiti, in particular the rising power of criminal gangs and the recent massacre in Cabaret

A brutal killing of civilians has recently taken place in Cabaret. Violence has reached unprecedented levels. Gangs kill, rape, burn homes, schools, hospitals, spread terror all over the country.

New Strategic EU-India Agenda (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. We are discussing a new strategy for the European Union towards India, a country that, on the one hand, is an economic and technological powerhouse but, on the other hand, has a policy that runs counter to the values on which the European Union is based, at least in theory. In 2022, India became one of the main recipients of Russian oil, thus enabling the financi…

Rising antisemitism in Europe (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. We are concerned about the resurgence of anti-Semitism in many European countries. There is hatred in the streets.

Dear President, Before the summer, I requested a resolution on the persecution of political prisoners in Belarus.
