RO Speech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr. President, dear colleagues, I am addressing the Romanians. I know you didn't vote for scandal, but that's what you got. I know you didn't vote for higher prices, but that's what you'll still get. Since the election of the new President of Romania until today we still do not have a Government, and the interim Government is playing hide-and-seek with your money. From Strasbourg, things are worry…

RO Speech

Improving the implementation of cohesion policy through the mid-term review to achieve a robust cohesion policy post 2027 (debate)

Madam President, Mr Fitto, ladies and gentlemen, first of all it must be stressed that the main objective of cohesion policy is the gradual reduction of disparities between regions, that is to say, the expression of European solidarity. However, reality is changing rapidly. We have new priorities, unforeseen crises and investment pressures in strategic areas. Therefore, the flexibility of cohesion…

RO Speech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, democracy, the rule of law, political pluralism and free voting have disappeared from Romania. Elections are diverted from their democratic purpose and turned into an instrument of political struggle. The right to stand as a candidate is today brutally violated, and the electoral law is interpreted only to the advantage of the ruling political class. We play …

Establishing the Reform and Growth Facility for the Republic of Moldova (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Republic of Moldova belongs to the European family not only geographically and historically, but also through the values and aspirations of its citizens. Half of them are already citizens of the European Union through their Romanian citizenship. It is therefore our responsibility to unequivocally support Chisinau's European integration path.…

Political crisis in Serbia (debate)

Dear President, ladies and gentlemen, in recent months we have had the opportunity to see with satisfaction that democracy in Serbia is functioning. The citizens demonstrated their civic spirit and the protests sent a clear message to the political elites. They had to take note of the popular will and initiate measures aimed at recalibrating Serbia's European path. Given that the European Union is…

Preparation of the EU-Western Balkans Summit (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, enlargement policy is and must remain a priority for the European Union, which, without the countries of the Western Balkans and the Republic of Moldova, would be incomplete. Enlargement is not only an opportunity for these countries, but also for the European Union itself. Enlarging the European project must contribute to strengthening security and guarantee…

RO Speech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, democracy and freedom have been killed in Romania. Thirty-five years after the 1989 Revolution, we are now experiencing the restoration of dictatorship. The neo-Marxist globalist network is desperate for the democratic loss of power and shows us its true totalitarian face. More than two million Romanians voted in the first round of the presidential elections in …

RO Speech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, dear colleagues, the critical infrastructure of a state must be protected, not sold. Unfortunately, the Romanian politicians who went through leading positions of the state did not understand that our country should not be plundered. Since the fall of communism, Romania has given up much of its natural resources, which eventually led to an explosion in gas, electricity and even water…

RO Speech

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

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, cohesion policy remains the cornerstone of sustainable and equitable development in the European Union in order to reduce regional disparities. More than 28% of Europeans live in regions where GDP per capita is below 75% of the European Union average. Less developed and peripheral regions must be at the heart of cohesion policy, so as not to leave any European c…

Situation in Azerbaijan, violation of human rights and international law and relations with Armenia (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I strongly condemn the serious shortcomings and slippages that Azerbaijan is facing today in the area of fundamental freedoms and respect for minorities on its territory. It is sad to see this state increasingly departing from democratic norms and international standards in the field of respect for human rights. While we want to privilege trade and energy relati…

One-minute speeches (Rule 179)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it has often been mentioned in this Parliament that it is not normal to have a multi-speed European Union and that we cannot have European citizens treated unequally. However, we continue to face double standards for products marketed in the EU. It is unacceptable that Romania or other Central and Eastern European countries receive, under the same brand and with…

The rise of religious intolerance in Europe (continuation of debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, today we are at a crossroads where the very essence of our identity as Europeans is in jeopardy. We value our freedoms and rights, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, as they are core values of the European Union. Unfortunately, however, these freedoms, together with our Christian traditions and values, are seriously threatened by the t…

Prevention of drug-related crimes, their effect on European citizens and the need for an effective European response (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, schools, parents and young people in Romania are facing an extremely serious social problem: Alarming drug use among schoolchildren. Nearly three thousand students were declared drug users last year, and the average age at which young people start using drugs is only 13 years old. But the statistics capture only a small part of the reality, and …

Situation in Venezuela (RC-B10-0023/2024)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, together with my colleagues in the ECR, I voted today in favour of the resolution on the situation in Venezuela, a country where anti-democratic abuse has reached its peak. We have to take a stand! Under President Maduro's totalitarian regime, Venezuela has been driven into chaos. Under the aegis of communism, Maduro continued to destroy what was once the pride …

The severe situation of political prisoners in Belarus

Madam President, dear colleagues, dear Romanians, the situation of 1 347 political prisoners held in inhuman conditions in Belarusian prisons shows that the fight for freedom, dignity and justice is not just a matter of the past. The situation of political prisoners in Belarus reminds me of the situation of those during the communist regime in Romania. I know how hundreds of thousands of Romanians…

The Hungarian “National Card” scheme and its consequences for Schengen and the area of freedom, security and justice (debate)

Mr President, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, while respecting the sovereignty of our Hungarian neighbours and the fact that Hungary is legitimately able to decide who it accepts or does not accept on its territory, we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that, once again, Mr Orbán's policies are contrary to the spirit of European cooperation and solidarity. All Europeans, including Romanians, want…

RO Speech

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, one of Romania's biggest problems is the demographic one. We have a Romania outside of Romania. Of Romania's entire population of 19 million citizens, almost eight million of them live and work abroad. More Romanian children are born abroad than in the country, and at this rate, if we do nothing, Romania will die. Those in charge of Romania do nothing to prevent…
