Urgent need for a tax on super-profits of polluters: protecting people’s health and lowering energy bills in times of the climate crisis (topical debate)

This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Portugal, Luís Montenegro (debate)
Madam President, Prime Minister, welcome to the European Parliament, and know straight away that the Socialist Members will be by your side so that Portugal does not have EUR 0.01 less in the next Community framework. But defending cohesion requires more than good intentions, it requires leadership. In the negotiation of the previous framework, António Costa toured the European capitals, led a gro…

State of the Union (debate)
You say that you want to lower the cost for European families, but you vote against taxation of war profits. He says he does not want a Europe dependent on other blocs, but instead of helping European industry, what he does is exactly the opposite, because he proposes Elon Musk for the Sakharov Prize and defends Trump's wars, which make us poorer. My question is very simple, because it says that i…

EU’s response and preparedness to protect people against recurring heatwaves and upcoming wildfires (debate)
Mr President, I am not going to nationalise the issue here, as the PSD has done in the past with PS MEPs, I am going to Europeanise it. He talked about the civil protection mechanism and we are together, not only in that action, in that activation and in that where there is help to Member States, but it is that here in this house, in 2023, European legislation against deforestation was passed. In …

Preparation of the European Council (joint debate)
You have mentioned the Pope, you have mentioned the Socialists and you have mentioned migrants. It couldn't be anywhere else. I want to mention probably two things. The first, Aristides de Sousa Mendes – you could remember this name. A Portuguese that helped thousands of Jews get into a safe harbour not less than a century ago. The second mention is the Pope. You have asked us to agree more with t…

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)
On 28 February, the US began Operation Epic Fury and the goals were clear, as you have mentioned: to isolate Iran, prevent nuclear weapon proliferation and free the people. From blaming NATO to Vice President Vance yesterday admitting granting EUR 300 billion to Iran if they signed to long term agreements – the same they already had under Obama's JCPOA – Epic Fury became epic failure: 7 000 killed…

Achieving digital sovereignty and resilience for Europe, in light of recent developments affecting access to advanced AI technologies (debate)
You mentioned that the EU is lagging behind, and I have to agree with you. But I also have to remind you that you sit with the sovereigns – the ones that were cheering for Trump at the beginning of this mandate. And you have not even mentioned one of the topics that has been worked on under the Cloud and AI Development Act that has been proposed by the Commission. So instead of sitting and critici…

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, absent Council, today the greatest destiny of young Europeans looking for opportunities is not America, not Asia – they are other countries of the European Union itself. This proves something very simple: The European single market is already our greatest strength today. But it also reveals a challenge and a problem: it is that for many of these young people leaving …

EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)
Madam President, your phone has just vibrated. There, you find a message with an unknown number: is your child with a clear audio. You've run out of battery, you're on your way home, but you can't afford the train. You voluntarily send the amount equivalent to the return ticket to this contact. But this was not his son – he was a sophisticated artificial intelligence agent who had just served the …

Tackling barriers to the single market for defence - Flagship European defence projects of common interest
Madam President, Commissioner, foreign policy is not about extending the red carpet when our partners violate international law for oil reserves. Europe can and must be more than an extra in Donald Trump's wars that threaten European lives. To accept this role would be, in fact, to stop being at the table and become on the menu. For decades, we've become accustomed to strategic comfort: American p…

Case of Joseph Figueira Martin in the Central African Republic
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Joseph Figueira Martin is a Portuguese and Belgian citizen, a European citizen and a worker in a non-governmental humanitarian aid organisation in the Central African Republic. It was in that country that he was captured, kidnapped, abducted by the Wagner Group mercenaries, the same ones who collaborate with Vladimir Putin, and who handed Joseph…

Preparations for the EU-India summit (debate)
Madam President, High Representative, Speaker, while Donald Trump squanders the political capital of the United States of America with blackmail and threats, the affirmation of our strategic autonomy gains urgency. In a few days, a decisive summit will take place in India. It's not just a bilateral meeting, it's an opportunity to bring two of the world's largest economies and two of the world's la…

European Council meeting (joint debate)
The honourable Member speaks here about everything he wants to talk about and about everything that Europeans do not want to hear. My question could be extensive, but I think it can be succinct and very clear. The leader of his parliamentary bench did not say anything about condemnation, he does not have a word of condemnation for the words of the American president. You are making an intervention…

Incentivising defence-related investments in the EU budget to implement the ReArm Europe Plan (debate)
Mr President, colleagues, the Trump administration’s National Security Strategy is the end of the transatlantic preferential relationship – which is why the report we are voting on today is even more important. The American focus on containment of China and the struggle for global supremacy dictated that the great friendship forged after the Great Wars was today replaced by new partnerships. It is…
