State of the Energy union (debate)
Mr President, thank you very much. The European Union did not pass the energy test because energy has become a tool in the hands of Vladimir Putin. Germany is responsible for the energy crisis for one simple reason: Nord Stream. Nord Stream is a conscience that should be touched in Berlin, because if it were not for Berlin's marriage to Moscow, there would probably not be a situation in Ukraine. Coal, gas and atom are the only stable sources of energy that can function at the moment. The fight against coal is understandable due to certain climate issues, but if we are moving away from coal, why not focus on atom? Because we were betting on gas, because there was the Energiewende strategy, because Berlin invented a business together with the Russian Federation and European families paid for it all. What was needed for all this was an artificial tax – a European emissions trading system, an artificial tax that makes industry and European families pay more and more. Industry is being pushed out of Europe because speculators invented it. Instead of understanding all this, Europe is moving in the direction of the energy crisis. This can be transferred in a virtual way, even for the sake of fairy tales. Did they want the Flintstones? Well, I guess so, because the Jetsons are not realistic to introduce today. Why is that? For one simple reason. An energy crisis is when there is no stable source of energy. And if we don't have coal, we don't have gas, and we don't have an atom, what do we choose? It does not always shine, nor does it always blow in the right way. Therefore, the European Union, if it does not reform its approach and reject artificial mechanisms, will lead to another crisis and once again give a tool that Vladimir Putin has already used.
Need to prevent security threats like the Solingen attack through addressing illegal migration and effective return (debate)
Madam President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, If we are discussing security, it is the most important thing, maybe it is just worth following the example from Poland? In Poland, such situations as those we are talking about, such as a 20-year-old immigrant running around, a strong man, if we compare it with Germany, of course, then this is a catastrophic situation for our western neighbors. Why is that? The statistics are absolute. Where there are illegal immigrants, there is an increase in sexual crime, there are definitely more crimes than in Poland. Poland is a safe country because we have taken care of security. The European Union has made a mistake, the Germans have made a mistake, so take this problem and do not blame this problem on other countries.
Outcome of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture (debate)
Madam President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all, let's start with the fact that if we want to take care of agriculture, let's not disturb them, farmers. Imposing the Green Deal is blocking the development of agriculture, because the farmer, above all, expects to be given peace of mind. The European Union should not be interested in how he drives, how he lives and what he burns down his home. All this sustainable development is leading to the fact that agriculture is starting to flee Europe. Because the bureaucracy, the regulation, concerns the farmer who, instead of working, deals with the bureaucracy. If the European Union does not understand this, it will lead to a food crisis. And in the face of the aggression of the Russian Federation, agriculture is a guarantee of security, as well as other security issues, such as, of course, armaments and the security of our borders. Therefore, especially today, let us reject the Green Deal and leave the farmer in peace, because he expects it.
