Energy-intensive industries (debate)

Madam President, I would like to thank you for your I would like to start by saying congratulations to my father who turns 70 today. Look, I want to be able to look my son in the eye in the future. That we in here did ours so that there are safe jobs when he grows up. But I also want to be able to say that we politicians took our responsibility and prevented a climate collapse. Technology transiti…

Action Plan for Affordable Energy (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner Jørgensen! I want to highlight two things here today. Firstly, what are we going to do with the bottleneck charges? The EU has locked up money that Swedish households sit and pay in every month. The money is piling up, a pile that currently amounts to SEK 65 billion and is only expected to grow. People at home in Sweden are rightly pissed off. They s…

Clean Industrial Deal (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. Thank you, Commissioner. I note that some so-called patriots in here like to act as lapdogs for foreign power. But I feel rather disgusted by Europe's dependence on crazy men in Russia, China, the United States and elsewhere. Therefore, we must stop being dependent on their gas and oil. This change is not made to be kind to someone else, but for our own sake: …

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, thank you very much. The EU is basically created to preserve peace, and part of this has been the EU's so-called cohesion policy. In Sweden, we often say regional development that helps local and regional projects create new jobs, strengthen companies and associations and get people to cooperate based on what is really needed in the community locally, instead of just following the…

Powering Europe’s future - advancing the fusion industry for energy independence and innovation (debate)

Sweden's national security adviser, the Prime Minister's childhood friend Henrik Landerholm, has forgotten security-classified documents found by unauthorized persons. He has forgotten his phone at Hungary's embassy in the midst of burning NATO negotiations and now also traveled privately for tax money. I still haven't heard what the Democrats think. What does Beatrice Timgren think about this? Is…

Powering Europe’s future - advancing the fusion industry for energy independence and innovation (debate)

Everyone who has been a politician in Sweden knows that if there is anything we hear as soon as we are going to talk about energy policy, it is this lie, over and over again, that it would have been us who shut down nuclear power in Sweden. (Parts of speech without microphone) What is true, however, is that it was social democrats who, in a technologically optimistic spirit, built nuclear power in…

Powering Europe’s future - advancing the fusion industry for energy independence and innovation (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. We are facing a crucial time where investing in the energy of the future is not just a technical issue but a moral duty issue. Fusion energy has the potential to change the world, to create a society where energy is clean, safe and virtually infinite. But as with all the other breakthroughs throughout history that have felt distant, we of course meet those who…

Restoring the EU’s competitive edge – the need for an impact assessment on the Green Deal policies (topical debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. The Conservative Party is now questioning whether we should future-proof jobs in the automotive industry. The U.S. and China are investing in electric cars. But then the right here will run in the ditch and babbling on about options that will be significantly more expensive for ordinary people. Volvo, Scania and other companies in Sweden have made investmen…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, I would like to thank you. Electricity prices in southern Sweden last week were 18,000 times higher in southern Sweden than in northern Sweden. If it were milk, a milk package in Landskrona would have cost over 260,000 SEK. Before the 2022 elections, the promises were very clear. With the vacuum cleaner at its peak, Ebba Busch promised lower prices. She built ten nuclear reactors fro…

A European Innovation Act: lowering the cost of innovating in Europe (debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. Politicians like to talk warmly about new inventions – fission, quantum computers and electric aviation. But in our enthusiasm, we often forget something very important – that the best decisions on what to research will not be made in this House. Instead, we need to protect the local anchorage to secure the needs that are actually out there. I mean, look at…

Topical debate (Rule 169) - Budapest Declaration on the New European Competitiveness Deal - A future for the farming and manufacturing sectors in the EU (topical debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. Competitiveness is not just about counting the number of companies, but about building communities. Look at Luleå. There was a system error in how power is booked on the power grid. Together, municipalities, industries and authorities sat at the same table. What happened? Well, they released energy equivalent to an entire nuclear reactor. That's the power o…

The important role of cities and regions in the EU – for a green, social and prosperous local development (debate)

Mr President, I would like to thank you. Sometimes I wonder if people in here have missed how serious the situation is for the Baltic Sea. The cod stock has collapsed, and the same fate now awaits herring. The fishing culture in the regions along the coast of the Baltic Sea is in real danger of dying out. This week, a new punch came in the face when the Council of Ministers decides on fishing quot…
