Effective measures to protect and empower children in the digital world (debate)

Watch

Madam President, there are many things we can and must do to protect children in the digital age. As a former teacher, I believe that sexual-affective digital education in schools is crucial. We need to invest a lot more in these paths. But that's not enough. Control measures are also needed, such as the introduction of an age limit for the use of social networks at 14 years of age, while ensuring…

Affordable Housing Act (debate)

Watch

First, the rent must be limited when there are millions of people who fail to make it to the end of the month. Moreover, occupations are a symptom of the housing crisis that you do not want to face. If serious housing policies were made that guaranteed everyone the right to housing, no one would need to occupy. And I'll tell you more: The criminal is not the one who occupies the house out of neces…

Affordable Housing Act (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this is the sound of the protest over the right to housing in Spain. A symbol of struggle that we hope to hear very soon in the streets of all Europe, because in our cities it has become impossible to live. Rents are skyrocketing, mortgages are inaccessible, social housing is too few and too many are left culpably empty. While millions of people kill themselves …

The recent hybrid attacks and instrumentalisation of migrants in Ceuta and the need for a coordinated response to protect EU’s external borders (debate)

Watch

It is a colonial remnant: I don't say that, but the history books say it. if the right-wing colleagues, perhaps, had opened them by chance. The problem with you on the right is that you are insecure, you are full of insecurity and you are full of fear. If you really think that a rich continent, with 450 million inhabitants, is not able to accommodate 60,000 people, then perhaps you should change j…

The recent hybrid attacks and instrumentalisation of migrants in Ceuta and the need for a coordinated response to protect EU’s external borders (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Ceuta is not Spain; Ceuta is not Europe. Geographically it is Africa and, historically, it is a remnant of European colonialism. It is from this contradiction that we must start if we want to talk about the migration crisis at the end of July, which the right has immediately transformed into racist and nationalist propaganda. The Italian government has even bloc…

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Watch

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, poverty in Europe is no longer a marginal emergency, it is becoming an ever deeper, more visible and more violent social fracture. In Italy almost 6 million people live in absolute poverty. But poverty is not a fatality, it is not an accident of history, it is the precise result of an economic and political model called capitalism: As long as governments cont…

Sudan’s abandoned humanitarian crisis: three years of conflict (debate)

Watch

Mr President, three long, horrific years of war in Sudan. 30 million people have been forced to flee their homes. More than 4 million crossed the borders. Over 33 million now depend on humanitarian assistance, and nearly half of the population faces acute hunger. It is an unacceptable, humanitarian catastrophe. Once again, the international community and the European Union appear unable or unwilli…

Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union in 2024 and 2025 (debate)

Watch

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, fundamental rights are increasingly under attack in Europe. The classist and liberticidal agenda of the far right is evident. But in times of crisis and war, even the democratic forces end up accepting too many compromises to the bottom. For us, on the contrary, the rights of each and all are not negotiable: They are our red line, our barricade. To those who jus…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, food prices in Italy have increased by 25% over the last four years. Rents rose by 34% over the same period, while wages remained completely flat. This means that the purchasing power of citizens has fallen drastically, that the working classes are impoverishing themselves. Other than "the migrants here, the migrants there": the real security…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, housing is the basis of rights. Homeless everything else becomes fragile and precarious: safety, work, health, education, the very dignity of people. Yet today, in Europe and certainly in Italy, too many people do not have a home; Too many families struggle to pay rent or mortgage every month. Too many workers cannot afford to live in the cities where they wo…

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in Italy, despite higher and higher levels of education than men, women continue to participate less in the labour market, earn less and rarely hold managerial roles. On the other hand, they support much of the domestic and care work, invisible, unpaid and often not even recognized by those who benefit from it. Men, on the other hand, are entitle…

Mr President, in Sudan, over 12 million people have been displaced. Epidemics and famine are spreading. Essential infrastructure has collapsed. Refugees find closed borders and degrading conditions.
