The abduction, forced conversion and child marriage of Maria Shahbaz and the protection of girls in Pakistan

Madam President, thank you very much. A 13-year-old Christian girl from Pakistan was kidnapped last year. Under threat, she was forced to convert to Islam, and she was forced to marry an adult man. This was approved by a Pakistani court – an Islamist marriage. No child freely marries a grown man. This is barbaric and does not belong in a civilized world. No child should have to be abducted, forced…

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre

Madam President, thank you very much. I can stand here and say that I am a Christian without fear that I will be murdered or that my family will be subjected to violence. If I lived in Nigeria, this would not have been the case. Nigeria is one of the world's most dangerous countries for Christians. Churches are burned, families are murdered and women and children are subjected to sexual violence. …

Mr President, thank you very much. The European Commission is making Europe dependent on China. While the US is asking whether Chinese-controlled, connected cars are a safety risk, the Commission is only wondering how quickly they can phase out the internal combustion engine. The US stops Polestar because China controls the technology. However, the Commission continues to pursue a policy that give…

Madam President, thank you very much. Have you heard of Urea? Many Europeans do not have it. But urea is a very important fertilizer and important for our food production. But now Europe is facing a crisis. Due to delivery problems in the Strait of Hormuz, which risks making it more expensive for our farmers. But this dependence on unsafe imports, it was predictable.

Women’s entrepreneurship in rural and island areas and outermost regions (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. 90 new pages from the EU but zero answers for rural women. She doesn't need more strategies, she needs what all entrepreneurs need: She needs freedom, she needs capital, she needs roads that work and less bureaucracy. She doesn't ask for more gender mainstreaming, but asks: Do I get a loan? Is there internet? Can I run my business in peace? Entrepreneurship sh…

Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU (A10-0047/2026 - Evin Incir, Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus)

Madam President, thank you very much. This vote is not about women's safety. The left wants to pick political points through placard politics and goodness signaling. If the left had really cared about stopping sexual crimes, they would have long ago pushed through higher penalties with us and to expel foreign rapists. But the left is constantly voting against higher penalties and pushing for conti…

Madam President, thank you very much. In this country we are in right now, nicotine pouches are banned, while cigarettes are sold on almost every street corner. France calls it public health, but it is not. When you remove less harmful alternatives, people don't stop. They start smoking instead. In Sweden, we chose reality over ideology. We made alternatives available and we have Europe's lowest n…

Now everyone is saying the same thing: Authorisation processes need to be faster. I agree, but let's be clear. Every year, the EU introduces more rules, more reporting requirements and more controls.

Tackling AI deepfakes and sexual exploitation on social media by making full use of the EU’s digital rules (debate)

Madam President, thank you very much. The use of AI images for violations is completely unacceptable, but banning an entire technology or platform is the wrong way to go. Some now see their chance to limit platforms they dislike. It is not about protecting anyone. It's about power and control over free speech. Uncomfortable opinions are increasingly described as threats to democracy, but the real …

Mr President, thank you very much. In Sweden, we sometimes pay wind power companies to stop producing electricity. This sounds absurd, but it is a direct consequence of the expansion of wind power. Within the framework of the Green Deal and climate objectives, with subsidies and financing via the EU Investment Bank, several billion SEK has been invested in wind power. However, the industry is suff…

Mr President, thank you very much. Europe's electricity prices are more than four times higher than in the United States.

The focus is on choice of words, forms and norm criticism.
