Protecting people’s health against toxic substances (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Dear Colleagues, I would like to draw attention to the very important problem of the green transition of the European Union, which carries many risks. The European Union finances and promotes the construction of large photovoltaic farms, but also energy storage facilities. I would like to draw attention to the problem, which consists …

Hybrid warfare and the protection of the EU’s territorial integrity and critical security and defence infrastructure (A10-0212/2026 - Rasa Juknevičienė)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. The resolution addresses hybrid warfare and the protection of the territorial integrity of the European Union and critical infrastructure necessary for security and defence. I voted in favour of this resolution because hybrid warfare is no longer a theoretical threat. Poland and other countries on NATO's eastern flank face cyberattacks, sabotage, disinformation and inst…

Post-electoral repression in Zambia and the killing of Mutotwe Kafwaya

Madam President, I'm sorry. Referring to the voice of Mr Sieper, we indeed have such a situation in the European Union that in cases of violations, violations of human rights, political murders, imprisonment of political opponents, debates, discussions, resolutions often take place here and basically nothing happens with these resolutions. We do not hear about any further action from the European …

Political prisoners in Cuba, in particular the case of Félix Navarro and his daughter Saylí Navarro

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. As a Pole, I understand well what communism is, a system based on fear, censorship, enslavement, taking away people's freedom. That is why my outrage is caused by voices such as that of a Belgian MP, Mr Botenga, who defends the Communist regime in Cuba. A regime that has been depriving people of freedom and life for 70 years. There is no democracy, there is no rule of l…

Political prisoners in Cuba, in particular the case of Félix Navarro and his daughter Saylí Navarro

Watch

Not so long ago, one of the Cuban oppositionists was in Poland. He told me the story that there was supposedly no fuel in Cuba. But it is enough that whoever goes out on the street and hangs a banner or poster on the fence, which is against the Castro regime, immediately arrives 50 police cars, because for them there is fuel. How do you explain that? Because a moment ago, you said there was no fue…

Deteriorating situation of media freedom and freedom of expression in Hong Kong following the recent arrest of bookseller Leticia Wong and the convictions of Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. In Hong Kong, people are now sentenced to years in prison for the sole crime of organising peaceful demonstrations in Tiananmen Square to mark the anniversary of the massacre, defending democracy and exercising freedom of expression. Repression also includes independent booksellers, and the sale of publications that are inconvenient for the authorities can lead to arres…

Urgent need for EU support to Ukraine against Russia’s escalation of its war of aggression (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Today's debate and discussion showed that the European Union must move from discussion to action, in particular on the issue of frozen Russian assets. 200 billion euros, Madam President, is in a bank in Belgium. The question arises as to why these measures are not used as a means to rebuild Ukraine. As of today, we know that these damages are estimated at around 600 bil…

Urgent need for EU support to Ukraine against Russia’s escalation of its war of aggression (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Madam High Commissioner, I'm sorry. There should be no doubt about one fundamental point. We must not allow the collapse of Ukraine and the victory of Russia. Any success of Putin or his successors will encourage Moscow to further escalate. And the escalation will not affect abstract Europe, but above all the countries of Central and Central Europe, Poland, Romania, the…

Urgent need for EU support to Ukraine against Russia’s escalation of its war of aggression (debate)

Watch

Dear Member, I agree with you that the European Union should also support the warring Ukraine financially. On the other hand, we should of course use the frozen Russian assets that remain in Belgium, at Eurojust – that is, USD 200 billion. As we know, a few days ago a group of 120 parliamentarians signed an appeal to the European Commission to use these funds. How will you explain that practically…

To this day, Greek citizens have no claims, no benefits. We also have this situation with Poland. What do yo…

Thank you very much, Mr Colleague, Mr MEP, for your speech and in this spirit I would like to ask who will defend the European Union against the defenders of democracy? Because when we look at the elections so far in the countries of the European Union – whether in Poland or Hungary – we saw interference not from Russia, not from China, but from the European Union. The fundamental question therefo…

An updated regulatory framework for wool (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Sheep breeding is the foundation of many mountain areas in Poland, my country, from Podhale, Beskidy, through Bieszczady to Sudety. It is not only the production of food, the protection of the landscape, biodiversity, but also the European cultural heritage. However, as we know, in Poland breeders receive 0.35 euros per kilogram of wo…

You represent Germany, you represent the EPP, the country and the formations that have governed the European Union for decades.

How will you explain that Germany, that the EPP has led to a situation where…

Feasibility of a 28th tax regime and its potential to support EU competitiveness (debate)

Honourable Member, I have a question: Do you think that this proposed tax regime will not actually become the first step to limit the fiscal and financial sovereignty of the European Union countries? Is this not a stage aimed at harmonising taxes, but is it really the first stage to force other countries of the European Union to make such a form of taxation happen in the future? Will this not lead…

Evaluation of the Common Fisheries Policy and follow-up (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. I am another speaker who draws attention to the absolutely tragic situation of Polish fisheries in the Baltic Sea. It is in a gigantic crisis. In 2025 alone, the number of fishing units decreased by 5%. Limits that are imposed on Poland, restrictions, regulations - all this is killing Polish fisheries. Fishermen who lose their livelihoods go to employment agencies. Is t…

As a Member from Poland, a country that has access to the Baltic Sea, I would like to ask my colleague, who also represents a country that has access to the Baltic Sea, about the European Union's policy towards this sea, and especially its fisheries policy. Listening here to the discussions of colleagues from different countries of the European Union, I see that everyone criticizes the policy of t…

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre

Mr President, thank you very much. In June 2026, a violent attack against a Christian community took place in the village of Kawel, Plateau State, Nigeria. Dozens of people died, many were injured, and the entire village was destroyed. This is not a single incident, but an element of a broader, recurring pattern of persecuted Christians in the region, attacks on farmers, churches, schools, clergy.…

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. The report by the rapporteur, German MEP Michael Gahler, rightly and firmly condemns the bestial nature of Russia's aggression against Ukraine. I also note with satisfaction that the German MP stresses that Ukraine's reparation claims against Russia are right. This information is reported three times in the report. That is right and fair, Mr. Speaker. But histori…

Madam Member of Parliament! My family lived in Eastern Małopolska in 1944. This is a region that before World War II belonged to the Republic of Poland. And in 44 they were warned that the Ukrainian Insurgent Army would murder Poles living in the village where they lived, near Czortków. My grandfather and my grandmother fled the murderers of the UPA. Unfortunately, dozens of residents of this smal…

Mr President, thank you very much. In Iran, a bloody crackdown on its own citizens has been ongoing since December 2025. Hundreds of thousands arrested, tens of thousands murdered on the streets and in prisons. The authorities use the regional conflict as a cover to speed up the executions of political prisoners, confiscate the property of families and refuse to release the bodies of murdered citi…

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Finally, you will get from me the most difficult question in this debate.
