RO Speech

Stepping up the fight against and the prevention of the recruitment of minors for criminal acts (debate)

Watch

Mr President, the future of humanity cannot exist without children. It is for them that we live, for them that we fight every day, including here in the European Parliament, to build a safer and better world. Their innocence is complemented by a corresponding fragility. They can easily become victims of criminals eager to use them. Recent reports show that 40% of young people involved in criminal …

Madam President, recent natural disasters in Spain, Romania, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Italy, Poland, Cyprus or Slovakia have caused serious damage to the populations of these areas.

RO Speech

Closing the EU skills gap: supporting people in the digital and green transitions to ensure inclusive growth and competitiveness in line with the Draghi report (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Romania urgently needs the reopening of vocational schools of arts and crafts. We have become a country of university graduates who do not know how to do anything and who do not find jobs matching their diplomas, so they either go to unskilled jobs across borders or engage in such services even in the country. Today, in Romania, an electrician earns better than a lawyer or an enginee…

RO Speech

Organised crime, a major threat to the internal security of the European Union and European citizens (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President, despite the efforts made at the level of the European Union and the Member States to ensure that citizens can live in safety, organised crime is coming as a scourge capable of undoing, through crime and terror, everything that has been built well before. Europol tells us that drug production and trafficking remains the largest criminal business in the EU, involving almost 40% of a…

RO Speech

The devastating floods in Central and Eastern Europe, the loss of lives and the EU’s preparedness to act on such disasters exacerbated by climate change (debate)

Watch

Madam President, dead people, destroyed families, thousands of homes affected, impassable roads, whole villages where children will no longer be able to go to school and where dozens of families have no place to sleep tonight. These people are also Europeans. Romania has been hard-pressed since the aggression against Ukraine began. The market was invaded by Ukrainian grain, which caused immense da…

RO Speech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Watch

Mr President, the European Union is facing an unprecedented challenge: The shortage of labor, while the birth rate is falling. People leave our country to work more and more often outside the EU, and we are forced to import labor from other continents, often unskilled. The explanations for this exodus are many, but I would dwell on an essential one: people's need for housing and the financial impo…
