Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, for millions of Europeans, housing is the first of the problems, the first of their debts, the first obstacle to full citizenship. The report of the Special Committee on the housing crisis in the European Union acknowledges the seriousness of the situation but unfortunately offers us an answer that does not break the market logic on which this c…

European Defence Industry Programme and a framework of measures to ensure the timely availability and supply of defence products (‘EDIP’) (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this proposal for a regulation on EDIP aims to make Europe an unlimited producer of weapons. As a 5 Star Movement, we say forcefully that it is a wrong choice. With this text we dedicate billions to new lines of ammunition, missiles, military equipment, while resources for hospitals, schools, homes, transport and the fight against poverty are la…

The role of simple tax rules and tax fragmentation in European competitiveness (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner Hoekstra, the Far West is the fiscal fragmentation that we tolerate in Europe, it is the first factor of unfairness, unfair competition and loss of competitiveness for the countries of the Union, even more than the weapons into which von der Leyen and the other warmongers in command are throwing billions of euros. This Far West is a gift to those wh…

State of the Union (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I am making a proposal: We should change the title of this debate, because Ursula von der Leyen has turned it into the comatose state of the Union. You, President of the Commission, are a disaster. It is along the list: for farmers who are sacrificed on the altar of trade agreements, such as Mercosur; It is an icture for small and medium-sized enterprises exp…

Investments and reforms for European competitiveness and the creation of a Capital Markets Union (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, the reform of the single market for capital that Parliament is preparing to vote on is a piece of paper worse than the hole, yet another piece of bad work by Mario Draghi and the Commission. Of course, we need to strengthen investment to create development and employment, but we do not need to direct even more money to speculative markets and military spending, that …

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 26 June 2025 (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the course taken by the European Council will derail us all. Ursula von der Leyen's rearmament plan is congenial to the interests of NATO and the United States, while obedient Europe betrays its interests, its autonomy, its values and its citizens. This road will not guarantee us greater security, on the contrary, it is already fuelling a rearmament race that…

State of play of implementation of the European Media Freedom Act in the Member States (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in Italy a law, as you know, gives the government the power to choose the top management of public TV. That's why the term "TeleMeloni" was coined for RAI. Also in Italy there is the highest number of reckless lawsuits in Europe, and uncomfortable journalists, such as Francesco Cancellato and Sigfrido Ranucci, are spied on or threatened by the same…

The Commission’s 2024 Rule of Law report (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, since 2022, the annual report of the LIBE Committee on the rule of law has included clear recommendations for countries where the founding values of the European Union itself are set back: freedom, civil rights, respect for the person. However, there has been no improvement in recent years. Indeed, in several states governments reject the conclu…

Savings and Investments Union (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the Union of Savings and Investments, beyond the title of the project, which is also acceptable, hides a very strong danger for European citizens. To increase the equity needed for industrial investments, including the most uncertain ones, start-ups and small businesses, it simplifies the possibility of using the large amounts of money placed by sa…

Protecting the system of international justice and its institutions, in particular the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the Council and the Commission for their clear and clear words in defence of the International Criminal Court. But today there is not only Trump, with his delusions against the Palestinians, there is also Giorgia Meloni, who has targeted the ICC. It's an attack to distract attention from the blackmail you and your government are facing. …

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, regulating internet platforms with the Digital Services Act is not enough. I listened to Vice-President Virkkunen and I understand her strategy, but if we really want to reclaim our digital sovereignty, fight disinformation and lead the development of technology, there is no alternative to promoting new European digital infrastructure. Only in this way will w…

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the manipulation of information and the pressure of fake news public opinion have by no means regressed since the last anti-SLAPP directive and the Media Freedom Act. Without compromising the right of everyone to support what they want, evidently there is a design behind the spread of so many lies, a design fueled by political forces that need t…
