Speeches

Ladies and Gentlemen, Every year the European Union spends billions of euros on investment, and every year it spends heavy money in various funds. In addition, because the money is missing, it is in debt and we are already paying this debt, and our children and grandchildren will pay it back. We will be burdened with this all the time. And in addition, in order to move all this, it has been proposing centralization for years. For years, he has been trying to ensure that most decisions are taken in Brussels, not in individual countries. Well, what's the effect? Even Draghi's report said that. Europe is not competitive, it needs big investments to catch up with the rest of the world. We don't have innovation. It was all these decisions that killed you and you didn't draw any conclusions from it. You're still proposing the same thing. You propose that we spend even more this time and now it will surely end differently. Well, it will not end otherwise, because an official will never make a better decision than an entrepreneur, than a man. He knows what's best for him. He knows how to invest money, how to save. He knows this much better than any, even the smartest official from Brussels. You have to learn from your mistakes and stop centralizing everything. Creating more unions, more reports will not help. The economy must eventually be deregulated. Ultimately, we have to bet on countries to build their own capital markets and not to disturb people. You've actually driven capital out of Europe. We do not produce anything in Europe, we will have to import everything. This needs to be addressed, not further harmonisation.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, We have already discussed the crisis in the automotive industry, in the steel industry, in agriculture, in the energy sector, even in beekeeping, and today it is time to save the chemical industry. Everywhere a crisis, but it is not really a crisis, but the result of this crazy, bureaucratic, climate policy of the European Union. Europe does not need further strategies and plans, but real relief from the burden on the economy. The chemical package is a step in the right direction. It's a simplification, but it's still too cautious, it's late, and it's still too bureaucratic. We continue to create a system in which the entrepreneur has to talk to the clerk and lawyers, not to his client. That's not how we're going to build competitiveness. New concepts, concept One substance one assessment it can increase regulatory coherence, but it also risks centralising decisions and marginalising Member States. It is supposed to be simpler and faster, but in this way we are killing competitiveness. We need deregulation, simple rules, strong companies and respect for national competences. We need common sense, not ideology. Without it, Europe will be a museum, not a healthy economy.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't know if you've seen the comedy Man versus Bee starring Rowan Atkinson. There, the main character, chasing one bee, demolishes the whole house. Today, however, it is not the bee that is bothering man, and man, and more specifically also EU policy, is bothering bees. The bee does not have an office in Brussels. He doesn't employ a lobbyist. He does not write reports and does not wait for the next directive, for the next plan, for the next order. She simply lives, pollinates and does what she does best – supporting nature and giving people healthy food. Meanwhile, in the Union, we create pacts, strategies, green deals, consultations, and we forget that the best ally of a bee is not a bureaucrat, but simply a beekeeper and a farmer – one who knows that without pollinators there will be no harvest. If you want to save bees, stop harming farmers. Stop supporting competition from outside the EU. Do not bother them with further regulations, prohibitions and reporting. Stop punishing them for wanting to produce food, not fill out Excel sheets. Bees need peace, tranquility, balance in the landscape, not legislative chaos. They need forests, meadows, apiaries, no – the Green Deal, which destroys what it was supposed to protect. Let's not duplicate the script from the movie, in which a man destroys everything to get rid of one bee. Let us protect nature together with those who truly understand it – farmers and beekeepers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I come from Poland. We have a lot of coal. Coal is the backbone of our energy, and as a result, we have been doing well, and now we still have energy sovereignty. We do not depend on Russian gas, we can draw from our own deposits. And you want to shut down our coal-fired power plants. You want to close our mines and force us to use panels and windmills. We want to continue to use coal and atom. And these are the two foundations on which we can base our energy economy.

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, You say that windmills and panels are almost free energy from wind and sun. You're lying. This is the biggest fraud of our time. See how much you have to pay to upgrade your network with these green toys. How much do you make on this? Because I don't believe that you are so naive that you promote the most expensive and unstable source of energy. The report we are debating today is not a plan for cheap and safe energy. This is a costly manifesto of the Green Deal that turns Europe into a testing ground for ideological experimentation. The Commission wants to double investment in electricity grids. And these costs mean that every EU citizen will pay more than €1,300 by 2030 for this plan, and more than €5,000 by 2050. Every inhabitant of Europe will pay so much for adapting the network. The more renewable energy sources, the more cables, the cost of bureaucracy and the risk of blackouts. This is the way to nowhere. We need energy and reason, not fanaticism.

I don't see such a change. I certainly don't see a change for the better. We currently have several categories of judges in Poland. In fact, no one in the courtroom is able to say whether he is judged by a judge who is recognized by both the government and the opposition at the same time, because I have the impression that such a category does not exist at all. So, when it comes to the rule of law, nothing has changed for the better. On the other hand, these reports show one thing, in fact it turns out that officials that the European Commission wants to make itself out of the 8 commandments a limited liability company. It can't be like that. The report should present facts, not ideological desires.

Madam President, I'm sorry. After seven years of threats, debates and reports, the European Commission is proud to announce the closure of the Article 7 procedure for violating the rule of law against Poland. But not because the rule of law has returned, but because the Tusk government, convenient for Brussels, has returned. And what does reality look like? Constitutional bodies, even the Constitutional Court, are being dismantled. The power-stricken media continues to be stubborn. In the course of the election campaign, funded, it is not known from where, organizations spent hundreds of thousands of zlotys on a campaign directed against opposition candidates. And even if this government, this inept government, lost the election, it now accuses the opposition of having rigged the election. Well, that's amazing. What is the Commission's response? The committee claps, evaluates the declarations themselves and, in fact, zero effects. After all these years, it turns out that the fight for the rule of law, all these admonitions, all these debates, procedures, reports was just a drink on the water. Looks like this nativity scene was just blackmail and setup. As a result, you lied and frightened Polish women and Poles, and forced Europeans into our country by showing us as bandits.

Dear Mr President, You flood us with thousands of pages of reports and analyses every day, and in fact you have a big problem with transparency. In the case of secret SMS negotiations between the head of the European Commission and Pfizer, the case had to go to court. Findings of billions of euros were hidden here. And what? There is a judgment of the Court of Justice, so what? No repercussions. Similarly, on the popular Polish safety belts for children, Smart Kids Belt, which have been ploughed up by EU regulations. Here, too, the court found that the Commission had been in contact with competitors and that this had exhausted the Polish company. And no consequences. Members also do not have access to important documents and findings. What is transparency? Only in theory. And these institutions really only work for the elite, not for the people. This is evident in the petitions we are considering. You can't stand the change of time for seven years, but when you have to spend another billion euros, when you have to get another bailout for Ukraine, we act quickly and without thinking. These are small matters, important to people should be dealt with in an express manner, and important matters concerning multibillion-dollar expenses should be considered carefully and thoughtfully.

Madam President, I'm sorry. EU competition policy – here we are dealing with a bureaucratic Frankenstein: It is supposed to guard the free market, but in practice it is a regulating dragon that devours initiative, innovation and small businesses. We hear that competition policy is meant to protect against market concentration. What effect do we have today? Three U.S. credit rating agencies control 90% of the market. Four global audit firms are holding the finances of the entire Union in hand, and digital giants are growing faster than the European Commission's debt. Brussels says it's helping industry, but if it weren't for the Green Deal, it wouldn't have to help industry at all. Two countries, Germany and France, receive more than 77% of notified state aid. And Poland, my country? He's on the reserve bench all the time. Not because we can't compete, but because, according to these rules, we can't even get on the pitch. The EU talks about fair competition, but in practice creates market feudalism in which the elected receive subsidies and the others receive forms and controls. We don't need any funds. We need economic freedom, equal rules and a return to common sense.

Mr President, thank you very much. We're talking about winning the global race. European innovators, entrepreneurs and inventors, on the other hand, are unfortunately held hostage at the start by bureaucracy, by tons of directives, regulations and regulations. We are not going to win this race. If one believes in the myth of the enterprising state, one believes that the government creates innovation, and this is not true. The truth is that central planning inhibits, not supports, progress. To attribute merit to governments or the Commission for inventions simply because they were present in the process is an abuse. The history of the Internet, the history of social media, the history of search engines shows that key innovations arise despite central planning, not because it was present in the process. And if we plan centrally, then it often leads to waste and inefficiency. It is time to reject these myths and bet on the free market as an engine of innovation.

Madam President, I'm sorry. You can see a repeat of history. The Roman Empire collapsed due to a moral, economic crisis and the invasion of the barbarians. Today, Europe is making the same mistakes. Europe is under threat because for years we have believed in the end of history and the superiority of our model. We have abandoned real politics, disarmed ourselves and opened the door to mass migration. And this migration today is tearing our civilization apart from the inside. Protecting borders is a top priority. We are talking here about the external borders of the European Union, and above all, from my perspective, about an effective, real dam in the east. Support for Poland in this area is the interest of the European Union. This is a necessity in the face of the hybrid attacks of Lukashenko and Putin on our country and thus on the European Union. We dig holes under ourselves. We need to strengthen our industry, energy security, abandon the Green Deal ideology so that we are also economically strong. And we also say a firm ‘no’ to the European superstate. We protest against it. A Europe of sovereign nations is the future of Europe.

Dear Commissioner, I look at your activities and the topic of the debate and I feel like it is already the "Prima Aprilis". Pluralism, transparency and the fight against corruption are important and necessary ideas. It is a pity that the European Commission and the European Parliament are doing exactly the opposite. You talk about pluralism and democracy, and you support the removal of poll leaders from the elections, you do not allow right-wing groups to lead committees or deliberations in parliament. Even during the Hungarian Presidency, you have gone even to petty malice like children in kindergarten, not respecting and not maintaining neutrality. You are talking about transparency, but citizens do not really have any influence on the actions of the European Union. And the President of the European Commission is fighting to hide text messages in which she negotiated a vaccine deal with Pfizer. You are talking about the fight against corruption, while another corruption scandal breaks out under your noses again. This is the result of an overabundance of government officials. After all, the people who caused it will not suddenly withdraw from it. The real change, the real transparency, will be when we take power from the officials and give it back to the citizens. Long live freedom!

Madam President, I'm sorry. Once, a European car was a real brand, a symbol of class and quality. My holy uncle, who lived in France, drove only French cars, one by one a peugeot, a renault, a citroen, because it was pride, tradition and style. We Poles brought millions of German great cars, because the Germans made solid and durable machines. Even in the US, European cars were appreciated because they were the best cars, the best design. Even James Bond didn't want anything else. And then, unfortunately, came the madmen who invented the electric charge. It's a disaster. Unfortunately, today we see the consequences. This is not a crisis, it is the result of this crazy policy. Recently, even under your nose in Brussels, the Audi factory has closed. Interestingly, it was the first factory to achieve energy neutrality, emitting a zero carbon footprint. And what? Now there is also a zero carbon footprint, but there are no more jobs and no cars.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Changing the name from green to clean industrial order does not change anything, because it is still the same harmful project based on the regulations of bureaucracy and ideology. Unfortunately, the European Commission has learned nothing. Acknowledges that energy prices in Europe are high and that regulations are stifling entrepreneurs, but instead of eliminating this problem at source, i.e. eliminating the ETS system and giving up the Green Deal, we receive further proposals for quota subsidies made in EU and regulation. That's not how it's going to work, because it's not going to work and it's not going to work. We hear that energy prices will be lowered, but we hear nothing about the suspension of the ETS, which artificially raises these prices. How can we promise cheaper energy if we maintain a system through which it is expensive? At the same time, the US and China have cheap energy from fossil fuels. We create new institutions and we have old problems and we are really experimenting on a living organism. It is time for a real change and a move away from this harmful policy.

Madam President, I'm sorry. 2024 was the year of coal in the world, as global coal consumption was close to 9 billion tonnes, a record in history. Global consumption has never been so great and this is mainly due to China, India and the United States, and there may be an even higher result in the future, because the United States promises to increase coal mining. In this way, Europe loses its competitiveness and is also committed to a climate policy that will not lead to anything. Because what if we reduce the use of coal every year, when the whole world consumes even more of it? We are not surrounded by a glass dome. And look what it looks like, too. President von der Leyen was recently in India, announcing trade cooperation with India, with India, which stands on coal, that is, we are closing mines in order to import things from countries that consume even more of this coal than before. This is ridiculous. And this whole Green Deal thing is only good for trash.

Mr President, thank you very much. Brussels promises deregulation, but looks like a wolf who put on sheep's skin for a while. The European Commission, which has been stifling us all with regulations for decades, now says it wants to simplify them. It's like the arsonist suddenly announced that he was becoming a firefighter. Omnibus is not really a revolution. This is a step in the right direction, but it is not a revolution. It's more of a cosmetic amendment. The European Union does not want to cut bureaucracy, it wants to manage it better. And an omnibus is such a gentle trimming of forms, not a real cut in bureaucracy and regulation. If we really want to free the business, we need a chainsaw like President Milei has, not a paper cutter. If we talk about harmonising regulations, it means that instead of three documents we will have one, but written in a very small font. That's not a solution. The European Commission talks about simplification, but at the same time introduces and upholds the Green Deal, ESG and subsequent standards. It's like telling someone to run a sprint with a heavy backpack full of stones, but promising them that they'll get new laces. That won't change anything. If we agree that 80% of companies are to be exempt from ESG, why not exempt the remaining 20%? Why should companies report all these things? This is a completely unnecessary burden, and we should start by suspending it to show that at least we are actually talking about some kind of deregulation. Because the problem is not the complexity of the regulations, the problem is their number. We do not need rules on how to simplify the rules. We need the European Union to stop creating new laws. We're all fed up with paperwork now, and we're getting more responsibilities. Large corporations will cope with this, but not all small enterprises that simply do not cope with these responsibilities will cope. We must take it seriously for cutting regulations, for stopping creating new regulations, and then we will really talk about removing this red tape from the European Union.

Today, the eastern border of the European Union is the front line and the fate of the security of not only Poland, but the whole of Europe is at stake. Because today Poland, Lithuania or Russia's other neighbours bear the main responsibility and costs of protecting this border of the European Union, especially in the face of Russian aggression. Poland has already welcomed millions of war refugees from Ukraine, showing unprecedented solidarity. That is why we are very disturbed by the provisions of the Migration Pact. We would like to be completely exempted from its provisions. Because we have already really helped beyond our means and we say 'no' to these solutions. And instead of spending money in other ways, the European Union should finance civil defence in Poland, because it is our citizens who are suffering the effects of hybrid actions, and the construction of a solid dam on the eastern border, so as to strengthen their resilience. We have a centuries-old tradition of defending Europe. I will only mention the Viennese relief or the battle called the Miracle on the Vistula. Europe should not bother us here, but help to protect our borders.

Mr President, thank you very much. The European Union loves to teach the world about values, democracy and human rights, and at the same time it is actually financing the hybrid war we are witnessing in the Democratic Republic of Congo with its own decisions. By signing a contract with Rwanda for the import of raw materials, Brussels has actually given Rwanda permission to plunder cobalt and coltan deposits, which are crucial for the production of batteries or accumulators. The problem is that these raw materials are not found in Rwanda, but in eastern Congo, where China had previously strengthened its influence. And so, at the moment, with the hands of the Rwandan M-23 militia, the Union is in fact waging a proxy war over those strategic resources necessary for the implementation of the Green Deal, a yoke that the Union has imposed on itself. And I am not talking here about criticism of the will to secure these critical raw materials, which is hypocritical, because on the one hand we are closing our own mines, and at the same time we are looking at slave labour in Africa, including children. And we are looking at this terrible tragedy because today the Congo is burning and the Congolese know that it is really the West that is sponsoring their tragedy. If we are to talk about values, let's start with our own responsibility.

Mr President, thank you very much. The labour market is changing dynamically and in such conditions it is always crucial to promote bottom-up activities. Representatives of the Austrian economic school emphasize that restricting economic freedom leads to economic collapse and an increase in unemployment. And the same effect of restricting freedom has to the lack of professionals desired on the labor market. Therefore, any action should be based on voluntary activity and the pursuit of mutual benefits. In fact, the modern education system often does not prepare young people for the realities of the labour market. They spend years on school benches, not acquiring practical skills valued by employers and as a result, many graduates do not have either professional experience or competences that are required on the market. In order to counteract this, it is necessary to encourage independent acquisition of practical skills through vocational education and training that are adapted to the needs of the market. This approach increases the value of the employee in the eyes of the employer. However, it is also worth paying attention to barriers to employment, such as high taxes, such as regulations that increase the cost of employment and the cost of employing professionals. Their reduction could significantly facilitate the creation of new jobs and the development of entrepreneurship. The Polish economist Ferdinand Zweig points out that, for example, public investment is not an effective tool in the fight against unemployment. Instead, the focus should be on creating an environment conducive to the development of entrepreneurship and grassroots initiatives. Eliminating these regulatory barriers and promoting market-adapted education will allow individuals to make better use of their potential. We should promote it, promote economic freedom, individual initiatives. Let's take a step back and let people act.

Madam President, thank you very much. Nobel laureate Frederick von Hayek said that there is no answer as to why a monopoly on the issue of money is so necessary in today's world. And when, after the 2008 crisis, you protected banks from the collapse that you indirectly caused, a programmer or a group of programmers, known as Satoshi Nakamoto, said ‘enough’. They have said enough about the moral hazard that governments and banks enjoy, enough about the spoiling of money by issuing it, enough about fake money. And that's how bitcoin came to be. He is the best candidate to become money. It is rare, divisible, difficult to counterfeit, and above all, it does not recognize the dictates of governments and banks. There's also anti-fragments. And all these attempts to limit it only strengthen it. And looking at all these proposed restrictions, I think I know what the answer to Hayek's question is. He said that the worst monopoly in the hands of governments is the monopoly on money. And these efforts to curb cryptocurrencies stem from the fact that they are non-state means of exchange that are winning over the supervised, overregulated decree money. Let us remember that money should serve the people, not the elites.

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Prime Minister! Your presence in Polish politics is a real fate. Unfulfilled promises, rendezvous with Putin on the pier, the wiretapping scandal, the Amber Gold scandal, the gambling scandal, the reprivatization scandal... And I could go on and on and on and on. Thanks to the lies and the help of Brussels, you have returned to power. Especially with the help of Ursula von der Leyen. And now for 400 days you have not fulfilled the promises given to Poles and Poles. You laugh in our faces, but the Polish people will not forget it. Poland and Europe deserve Donald, but not the one sitting here. There is a good program that you could propose: an end to the immigration pact, an end to the green deal, a return to coal, an admission that there are only two sexes, and an end to censorship. But you are not Donald Trump, you are Donald Tusk. Unfortunately, for us. And that's why America will have a golden age, and here it will still be like in the forest. But I'm not losing hope. I believe that at the end of this Presidency, your puppet will lose the presidential election and you will lose power. And you will have to watch the inauguration of Sławomir Mentzen. We will make Poland and Europe great again, but without the Lord and without this treacherous, inhumane...

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Socialism is working. This is exactly what we see in Venezuela. It always results in empty shelves, poverty, censorship and a police state. Whether it's the 20th century, whether it's the 21st century, whether it's Europe, Asia or America. It is no different with Venezuela, which is experiencing the apogee of a socialist dictatorship. The regime of Chávez and Maduro continues, continues to ruin and persecute its citizens. The socialists of Venezuela first ruined one of the richest countries in the world, Dubai of the 20th century, and then began to persecute those who opposed the government's omnipotence. Doesn't that remind you of anything? Before we rightly condemn the Maduro regime, look in the mirror and consider whether the European Union's policies of killing industry, innovation and restricting freedom of speech are copying socialists in the 21st century. And remember how the socialists of the twentieth century ended and how Maduro finally ended. Viva la Venezuela! Viva la libertad, carajo!

Mr President, thank you very much. Corruption is not the creation of a pathological margin. This phenomenon exists only among decent people. When the so-called bum takes, we're not talking about corruption. It only affects decent people. They only steal from others, we only take advantage of the opportunity, some explain. Why do good people give and take? Because they can make a credible excuse for their actions. These words by business psychologist Marek Kosowski perfectly describe corruption. Will the rules help anything? I recommend reading Rothbard. It is not lawful to make anyone good, pious, moral, pure, or righteous. High taxes, excessive bureaucracy, central planning and imaginary norms – so eagerly created here – are good conditions for abuse. To fight corruption, we need to simplify the law, lower taxes and limit the European Union's interference in the economy. The law should not moralize. The law should be simple, fair and transparent. In such a system, corruption loses its raison d'être. And after the corruption scandal, of course, President von der Leyen resigns.
