An EU health workforce crisis plan: sustainability of healthcare systems and employment and working conditions in the healthcare sector (debate)

Watch

Madam President, among the most important social needs for European citizens, public health certainly comes before many others, and here we all agree. Then there is a figure, that of the increase in life expectancy; therefore, increased demand for care, assistance and health personnel, especially in the fragile phase of life. But what is the solution? That's the point. Europe imposes parameters, c…

Escalation in the Middle East (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for generations, for almost 100 generations, this conflict has not known a solution of discontinuity. For over 2000 years, armies have changed, governments have changed, weapons have changed, but the result is always the same: monsters, deaths, destruction, hatred. And so, we must have the courage to say it: If after so many generations, Palestinian Jews and Ara…

Evaluation of the Common Fisheries Policy and follow-up (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the evaluation of the common fisheries policy confirms what our fishermen have been denouncing for years. The Commission itself acknowledges that the sector is suffering from a progressive ageing of operators, the difficulty of attracting young people and too low profitability. The report basically admits that the economic and social objectives of the reform hav…

The threat of war crimes, the escalating violations of international humanitarian law and the human rights situation in El-Obeid, Sudan

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the situation in the town of El Obeid, with its 340 000 inhabitants, is deteriorating. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped in the fighting, while attacks against the population and civilian infrastructure continue.

Drones and new systems of warfare – the EU’s need to adapt to be fit for today’s security challenges (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, drones and new war systems are not experimental, futuristic technologies. They are already at the center of the current conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, the Red Sea. The strategic advantage belongs to those who control low-altitude airspace and integrate drones, cyber and artificial intelligence, quickly producing on a large scale. Recent conflicts have gi…

European Council meeting (joint debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the new Europe is a historic necessity. The world wars of the twentieth century have tarnished and marginalized it. European balances have shifted from our area to the Atlantic Ocean, to the Pacific Ocean. The European Union is weak: There are 450 million people compared to 1.4 billion in India, 1.420 million in China, 1.550 million in Africa. The European Union…

Brutal repression against protesters in Iran (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I will of course not repeat what has been said, we only hope that the Iranian regime will have the hours counted, not just simple protests are underway, but a real revolution of courage. However, we must remember where this regime was born in '79: a revolt against the Shah, accused of being too Westernized, then continued with the physical elimination of all pol…

Rearmament is good, essential to restore dignity and security to Europeans: But we can't just keep planning the fight. We also need a strategy for reconstruction, diplomacy, peace. Otherwi…

World Mental Health Day - addressing the socio-economic factors (debate)

(IT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, psychopathology is the only disease that suffers massively, almost totally, from social and cultural aspects. On World Mental Health Day, we are called to reflect on how socio-economic factors profoundly affect people's mental well-being. Affective deprivation, isolation, early school leaving and the disintegration of families generate a void of references …

EU strategy with regard to Iran’s nuclear threat and the implementation of EU sanctions resulting from the snapback mechanism (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I proclaimed myself a friend of the Iranian people but, after ten years of suspension, the European Union has finally decided to reintroduce sanctions against the Iranian regime. It is a right, necessary and morally necessary decision.

Situation in the Middle East (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we must be clear: Europe in the Middle East is in fact non-existent, it has no capacity for dialogue, neither as the European Union nor as individual states. Certainly, the problems in the Middle East have ancient, historical and cultural roots. The most radical Islam cultivates the idea of erasing the Jewish presence and the State of Israel is seen as an int…

Systematic repression of human rights in Iran, notably the cases of Pakhshan Azizi and Wrisha Moradi, and the taking of EU citizens as hostages

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today's resolution is a great step forward in condemning executions in Iran and opposing the death penalty. However, the human rights crisis requires much more than words: We must act to end the impunity enjoyed by the theocratic regime in all its forms of brutal repression. Between 900 and 1 000 executions in 2024 alone: Just last week, Amnesty International…
