Escalation of the war and the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan (continuation of debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Sudan is in one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent decades. The war between the Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary rapid support forces is causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, famine and mass displacement. More than half of the country's population needs urgent humanitarian assistance. This conflict is not only a tragedy for Sudan, i…

Stepping up funding for Ukraine’s reconstruction and defence: the use of Russian frozen assets (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Today, we largely agree that a country that causes war is obliged to pay war reparations. And this word "war reparations" comes from many mouths here, and it also comes from the mouth of the European Commission. It goes without saying that an aggressor who murders, plunders, displaces, resettles must pay for his crimes. The European Union th…

Stepping up funding for Ukraine’s reconstruction and defence: the use of Russian frozen assets (debate)

Honourable Member, I was very surprised to hear you speak in which you question Ukraine's right to reparations by taking over frozen Russian funds. Russia has unlawfully attacked Ukraine, caused great damage, murdered tens of thousands of people, and caused great damage to Ukraine's infrastructure and buildings. So what punishment should Russia bear for this illegal attack on Ukraine?…

Criminal intimidation against investigative journalists in the EU: the attempted attack on Sigfrido Ranucci (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. It is good that today we are debating freedom of the press and the persecution of journalists. However, today, during this debate, I have the impression of the double standards that the European Commission applies to different countries. Two years ago, an unprecedented situation occurred in Poland: Donald Tusk's government unlawfully took…

Dear Member, In connection with the European arrest warrant issued by the tribunal in Karlsruhe against a Ukrainian citizen in Poland suspected of blowing up Nord Stream, a gas pipeline built by Russia and Germany, I have a question: Do you think that prosecuting a person who is suspected of blowing up this pipeline is a proper action of the German justice system?

His death perfectly illustrates how far the influence of Latin American criminal organizations extends. The activity of cartels is not lim…

European Citizens' Initiative 'Cohesion policy for the equality of the regions and sustainability of the regional cultures' (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner! The High House! I want to refer to a historical issue, which also has to do with cohesion policy. In the 40th year, by Herman Göring's decree, the Union of Poles in Germany was outlawed and nationalized. Dozens of Poles were murdered and their property was plundered by Nazi Germany. And to this day, despite the passage of 80 years, the Germans do not want to return t…
