Control of the financial activities of the European Investment Bank Group – annual report 2024 (A10-0086/2026 - Dick Erixon)
Madam President, we voted against this report on the investments of the European Investment Bank because we really see the wrong political direction of the action of the European Investment Bank, particularly with the emphasis and priority given to investments in militarisation called 'security and defence'. Furthermore, the over-emphasis on competitiveness, productivity, profits and deregulation …

Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034 (A10-0105/2026 - Siegfried Mureşan, Carla Tavares)
Madam President, we have made clear the reasons for our disagreement with this proposal for the next financial framework, and it is not just about the fact that there is a planned cut of 12% in the national envelope of funds for Portugal. But it was also not for lack of alternative that this bad proposal for the next financial framework was approved. In the Committee on Budgets and in this plenary…

Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union in 2024 and 2025 (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner McGrath, we are discussing the report on fundamental rights in the European Union, and fundamental rights are not only political rights, they are also economic, social and cultural rights. The report makes that reference, and that is an important reference. But there is a lot missing from this report for it to be a true report to what happened during 2024 and 2025, withi…

Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union in 2024 and 2025 (debate)
Mrs de la Pisa Carrión, you criticised the report on the fundamental rights of the European Union and I wanted to ask you some specific questions. Do you believe that fundamental rights are respected when protesters denouncing the genocide in Gaza are repressed at the hands of the Israeli Government? Do you believe that fundamental rights are respected when workers who exercise their right to stri…

Enforcement of the Digital Markets Act (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner Ribera, the digital sector is, of course, a sector of great importance and economic impact. Today, it is a liberalised – absolutely liberalised – sector, where there is no public intervention of any kind not only in the conduct of scientific and technological development, but in the fact that the sector is completely dominated by multinationals, in particular US-based on…

Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034 (debate)
Mr Paulo do Nascimento Cabral, cohesion, agriculture and fisheries accounted for 65% of the budget in the current multiannual financial framework. With the Commission's proposal, they now represent only 45%. And now this report raises that slice of the budget a little bit, but it does not even reach 50 %. How can a reduction of this size, in proportion to the budget, defend farmers? And how can fa…

Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034 (debate)
Mrs Tinagli, you are also chairman of the Housing Committee and you referred to that. And indeed, it is important that this report has a reference to housing problems. My question to you is, first of all, whether you are satisfied with the fact that this matter is referred to the Regional Development Fund, within the national and regional partnership plans, with all the limitations that this means…

Interim report on the proposal for the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034 (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner Serafin, the European Commission's proposal for the next financial framework was a bad starting point. This report is limited to softening some of the negative aspects, but the underlying problems remain ‑se. The political choices in this multiannual budget are the arms race and the militarisation of the European Union, the contempt for cohesion and the fight against eco…

Financial literacy and the rise of finfluencers in the context of the savings and investments union (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner Albuquerque, this debate is a good example of the European Union's policies and the interests it serves. The European Union promotes wage restraint, increases the cost of living, pushes workers into debt and then goes on to say that people need to be informed about the risks of credit and the precautions they have to take when in debt. The European Union promotes the …

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner Lahbib, in our opinion, criminal laws should be reserved for sovereign national competence and no state should wait for the European Union to strengthen and make more effective its laws to combat sexual abuse, including rape. International legal and judicial cooperation in this area is essential, but we have many doubts that there is an advantage in uniform impositions, …

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)
Mr Buxadé Villalba, the first question I want to ask you is this: Are you only concerned about violations that are committed by foreigners? Because if they are committed by the nationalists there is no longer any problem for the extreme ‑ right? Question 2: You advocate increasing sentences when there are convictions, but you do not want to tamper with laws that presume consent whenever there is n…

Order of business
Madam President, I am using Rule 163.º to express our displeasure at the fact that the European Parliament continues to reject a debate that has at its heart the defence of workers' rights, the improvement of their working and living conditions as factors of economic and social development, particularly at a time when these rights are under attack in several countries of the European Union, with c…

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (A10-0025/2026 - Borja Giménez Larraz)
Mr President, the report that the European Parliament is voting on today on housing issues is a real disappointment for those who had some hope that some prospect of a solution to housing problems could emerge from this. This report, making the diagnosis of the problem, insists on exactly the same policies that created the problem. A problem is identified with the functioning of the market which r…

Tackling barriers to the single market for defence - Flagship European defence projects of common interest
Madam President, Commissioner Kubilius, militarisation and the policy of confrontation and war are the greatest threats the European Union poses to the future of the peoples. And the reports we are discussing here today represent a faster and more intense ride on this precipice path towards confrontation and war, completely disregarding the consequences they have for the peoples. We are talking ab…

Guidelines for the 2027 budget - Section III (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner Serafin, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin by welcoming Mr Ušakovs, the rapporteur for these guidelines for the European Union's budget for 2027, for the effort he has made to focus more on social and cohesion issues, at least at the level of the budgetary structure. That good will on the part of the rapporteur is to be welcomed. For our part, we have put forwa…
