Presentation of the New European Internal Security Strategy (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, thank you very much. You brought a document today with some interesting ideas, but the European Commission has already adopted similar strategies to later contradict them with its own actions. Disastrous migration policies have significantly weakened Europeans. Widely opened the door for criminal groups, smugglers, terrorists. Today you are talking about the strengtheni…

Need to ensure democratic pluralism, strengthen integrity, transparency and anti-corruption policies in the EU (debate)

Dear Commissioner, The public is once again appalled by information about corruption scandals related to the EU institutions. This time we are dealing with illegal lobbying for the Chinese company Huawei. As in the case of previous scandals, instead of reliable information, proposals for specific solutions for the future, we have a general debate about nothing. The European establishment has learn…

The need for EU support towards a just transition and reconstruction in Syria (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. For more than 60 years, the regime of the Ba'ath Party and the Assad family, supported by Moscow and Tehran, has maintained power in Syria through terror. The fall of Bashar al-Assad opened the way for change, but at the same time left the country in a deep humanitarian and economic crisis. This situation is a test for the international community and, above all, for the…

Need for actions to address the continued oppression and fake elections in Belarus (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Five years ago, the Belarusian people showed their true face. The face of free people who want democracy and independence for their country. 5 years ago Belarusians said in the elections not Lukashenko's dictatorship, but these elections were stolen from them. Lukashenko rigged the elections. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the stree…

Need to ensure swift action and transparency on corruption allegations in the public sector to protect democratic integrity (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. The subject of this debate should be clearly formulated. This debate should address the issue of suspicion of money laundering by Commissioner Didier Reynders. This should be a debate about corruption in the institutions of the European Union, because we are dealing with another corruption scandal. We all remember the …

Hong Kong, notably the cases of Jimmy Lai and the 45 activists recently convicted under the national security law

Dear President, Commissioner, Communist China is violating its international obligations regarding the status of Hong Kong and the rights of its people. People who want to exercise their basic human rights are imprisoned: the right to freedom of assembly, religion and expression. The symbol of free speech, Jimmy Lai, has been in custody for four years and his trial is a farce. Today, Hong Kong, wi…

Fight against money laundering and terrorist financing: listing Russia as a high-risk third country in the EU (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Dirty Russian money continues to flow through global banking systems and cryptocurrency transfers, financing, among other things, a hybrid war against the West. State terrorism is also impossible without money. Moscow is waging a barbaric war against Ukraine, killing civilians, stealing its resources. Russia is carrying out murders in the European Union and allie…

People’s Republic of China’s misinterpretation of the UN resolution 2758 and its continuous military provocations around Taiwan (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, In the 1970s, with the hope of stability and peace, the People's Republic of China gained a place in the UN, which opened the door to unprecedented economic and technological development. Beijing has seized this opportunity by taking advantage of its close ties with the West. However, today, through its actions, such as…

Strengthening the security of Europe’s external borders: need for a comprehensive approach and enhanced Frontex support (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to thank you for your support. Today we are discussing increasing security at the external borders of the European Union, but this increase must not be an empty slogan. It has to have a practical dimension. In matters of security, one cannot be guided by ideological blindness or naivety. Common sense is the most important thing. Any idea that Brussels could…

Madam President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, When at the turn of the 80s and 90s.
