Affordable Housing Act (debate)

Watch

Mr President, thank you very much. Millions of Europeans are affected by the housing crisis today. Young people and people with lower incomes, and of course women, are particularly affected. We see it everywhere in Europe. Housing is already an unattainable dream for young people. But what some developers do literally and figuratively pulls young people out into the street. In Madrid, people took …

Government crackdown on the LGBTIQ+ Community in Türkiye: Türkiye’s compliance with its international commitments on non-discrimination (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Turkey has wanted to join the European family for many years, but unfortunately it is doing everything to simply not be in this European family. According to a recent survey by the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom, Turkey is responsible for 89% of arrests and detentions of journalists in Europe. In addition, many opposition politician…

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Today I am taking the floor in this debate not only as a Member, but also as a mother of three sons – whether I like it or not, my sons are growing up in the world of video games. Today, gaming is more than just an industry. It is part of our cultural heritage. These are stories, images, worlds created by thousands of creators, but also by artis…

Situation of women and girls in Afghanistan following the Taliban's adoption of the Criminal Procedure Code for Courts

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Take a look at this House. Here we have women – women at the rostrum, women who vote, who decide, who change the law. But now imagine that tomorrow, by the decision of the government, neither of us is here, that the law says: Your opinion is irrelevant, your place is at home. If you leave without your husband’s consent – prison, if you co…

Europe's response to reduced US military deployments in Europe, particularly at its Eastern flank in the light of the latest US decisions (debate)

Watch

Madam President, I'm sorry. Commissioner, I'm sorry. When it comes to the security of Europe's borders, we must speak with one voice. We cannot share Europe's security. Borders in the East are just as important as borders in the South. Every kilometer of the European border requires the absolute protection and solidarity of the whole Union. Therefore, information about the possible reduction of Am…

Thank you very much for this debate. In fact, I was not surprised by the right side that just came here and spoke about such an important topic for us, and now it just disappeared. Only Mr Terheș remained in office, who also told various lies, misrepresentations and disinformation. Ladies and Gentlemen, Those who have spoken here, I address you who are not here, but perhaps you will listen to this…

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Each and every one of us comes to politics with something that hurts him, with something that he cannot leave behind the door, with something that does not allow us to sleep. And that's the theme for me. Because when we talk about the European definition of rape, I don't see points on the agenda, I just see the faces of women who were silent, women who no one believed, …

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The housing crisis is a huge problem. And it is good that we are finally talking about this in this House, even when we hear these silly statements from some people on the right about this crisis. But the truth is that we can no longer turn a blind eye to the pathology of a system in which house prices have risen by 60% since 2010 and rents …

But the time for talking is over, and the time for concrete action has begun. Later this year, Commissioner, we have two important files to vote on. Firstly, the Citizens' Initiative My Voice My Choice, which has collected more…

Combating violence against women and girls, including the exploitation of motherhood (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. We are talking about violence against women today – and very well – but let us not talk about it as something that is remote and that does not concern us. The truth, unfortunately, is devastating. According to research, one third of women in the European Union have experienced violence at home, at work or in a public place, i.e. the perpetra…

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Surrendering to a tyrant will never bring peace. And this simple thesis should be understood by every European. But, of course, Orban does not understand this, because like Trump, he wants to expand the red carpet in front of Putin, but not in the name of peace, but in the name of his particular political interests, because right now his …

The decision to impose a fine on Google: defending press and media freedom in the EU (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The three-billionth penalty on Google is a very important step, but let's not be delusional. For a company that makes hundreds of billions of dollars every year, it's like a small parking fee, not a real sanction. For years, Google favored its own advertising services and played just not fair. That is why, as socialists and democrats, we …

I really don't know how to say it any more easily. Russia is an aggressor. Putin is a threat. But I'm not just talking about an attack by drones or planes over Europe's airspace. Let's also focus on what's going on in the web. Poland…
