Breeders' protests following a lumpy-skin-disease outbreak in France: implications of the EU approach on sanitary and on animal health (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, lumpy skin disease is an animal disease classified as group A, and this means that we are talking about a high-priority disease, which requires immediate prevention and control measures at European level. But effectiveness is not measured on paper: It is measured in the stables. I am on the side of farmers, not of regulations written 1,000 kilometres from the…

Murder of Mehdi Kessaci - urgent need for ambitious European action against drug trafficking (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, our cities cannot be held hostage by crime, gangs and drug dealing. There are those who think they can destroy entire communities without consequences and, as in France, even hit and kill those who have the courage to oppose. It is time to say enough – firmness and an iron fist against those who sow fear and degradation to return parks, streets and neighbourhood…

Effective use of the EU trade and industrial policy to tackle China’s export restrictions (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today we discover with immense surprise - so to speak - that Europe has handed over its industrial sovereignty to China. We make an astonished face, as if it were not the result of years spent following the follies of Greta Thunberg, years in which the EU imposed how to produce, which cars to buy, how to live, making decisions that tied us hands and feet to s…

Combating violence against women and girls, including the exploitation of motherhood (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the rented womb is a form of violence and slavery: It transforms life into a commodity, motherhood into a contract, and the woman's body into an instrument. And on the left, even today, this seems to be of no interest at all. Behind it is always the usual injustice: The one who has money buys, the one who needs sells, and selfishness to the detriment of women…

Renewing the EU-Africa Partnership: building common priorities ahead of the Angola Summit (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is enough to treat Africa as a field of competition between powers! Others are already doing it and very quickly. Instead, we must begin to consider it as a strategic ally and not just a problem to be managed.

Rule of law and EU funds management in Slovakia (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we are aware of the importance of the rule of law and respect for our fundamental values, but only when it is not used as a political club to target governments that are indigestible to the left and to single-mindedness.

Thanks to my colleague for the classic blue card. Thank you for your question and thank you for making me stress once again how we rely on reality data.
