Cohesion policy (joint debate)

Role of cohesion policy investment in resolving the current housing crisis I supported this report because it brings concrete solutions, not abstract debates. With European cohesion funds, we can build homes for young people and families who today spend over 40% of their income only on rent or mortgages. In the last few years, housing prices have gone up by almost 50% across Europe. For many young…

Building Europe's clean, independent and secure energy following the 2026 North Sea Summit (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, success in the North Sea is commendable, but Europe's independence cannot ignore the social reality of the East. In my country, Romania, over 70% of citizens started this year with a deep fear about the cost of living and the volatility of energy prices.

Madam President, Commissioner, dear colleagues, as we debate this strategy, Europe is facing a drama: Women die in their homes and homes. My country, Romania, was recently shocked – a young woman stabbed in the street by her ex-husband in front of her three-year-old child.

Mr President, dear colleagues, there is a political earthquake in Romania. The President of Romania has resigned and we have more than three months since the public agenda is occupied only by uncertainty.

Madam President, in Romania, 70% of young people consider that stress at work exceeds their mental health. They work but can't buy a house. They want a family, but they don't have secure jobs and careers. Faced with these challenges, many ask 'what future do we have'? What do we tell them? They have to work harder or, worse, they have to leave their countries in search of a better life. As the for…
