Speeches

Colleague, on the premise that I consider you an intelligent person who believes in justice and freedom, however, I ask you how the Meloni government would be discriminating against the LGBT community? And above all, I ask you: Do you agree with the theory that children can be bought and sold? Do you agree to exploit women's bodies? Do you agree that we reduce people to an object of commerce?

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, millions of Europeans are being discriminated against, exploited and excluded. It is true: It happens every day and to be a victim of all this are young people, families, associations that are attacked for the simple reason of wanting to defend the family, to affirm that you are born male or female, to counter the crazy ideology gender. There are no laws in Europe that discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation, but there are those in this House who, even today, would not want to allow people like me to express their ideas or their faith. On the contrary, thanks to the Meloni government, the rented womb, the barbaric practice that allows women to be exploited and children to be bought and sold, has been made a universal crime in Italy. But this is not enough. We must make the rented womb a universal crime across Europe, protect women and children and all those boys that LGBT ideology confuses and instrumentalizes. In a European Union that has lost the courage to tell the truth, we simply have to go back to accepting it with humility. We cannot replace either God or nature. We must listen to the cry of millions of people and Europeans who are tired of lies and want only a free future for their children.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, it is true that new technologies, such as social media, have a huge influence on the minds of young people. However, the radicalization they suffer is also that promoted by the left, which speaks of freedom but often does not practice it in fact. Every day we witness media bombardments that extol LGBT theories, fanaticism green and a liquid society, ideologies against identity and community, which promote individualism and discriminate against those who firmly defend the principles of our civilization. Look at the case of Päivi Räsänen, accused of incitement to hatred just for quoting the Bible, or censorship of those who dare to counter uncontrolled immigration, defend life and family, or criticize single thinking. Well, that's really undemocratic. The unique thought that the left wants to impose on the world, preventing those who are out of the chorus from asserting their ideas, accusing it of fomenting hatred only to oust it from the debate. You are right, we must protect young people from this fake and artificial world that someone has built around them to better control them. Let's get them out of this cage: Let's bring them back to relive the true beauty of life.

I believe, honourable Member, that your statements, like many of the statements made by the left, confirm your ideological vision. Because we forget that what is nine months in the belly of mothers is a person! One should simply recognize reality and truth, not my opinion or that of the center-right parties, but the truth of this world. So, thank you for letting me underline once again your ideology and your bad faith.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, to be born, to grow up, to play, to laugh, to cry, to quarrel, to rejoice, to be afraid, to have courage, to fight, to win, to fail, to have a family, to grow old, simply to live. Some people have been denied this and are denied it every day. Why? Because in a hypocritical and selfish way the weakest are eliminated, the helpless and the most fragile are discarded. Unlike what is being touted by the left, the current abortion law in Poland at this time represents hope for all of us Europeans. Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta said that the greatest destroyer of peace today is the injustice committed against the innocent unborn child. Therefore, let us remember that there is always an alternative and it is up to us here to find it for the good of children and women, not only of those who are here, but of those who will come. We also welcome life here in the European Parliament with love and with the courage recalled by Pope Francis of examples such as King Baldwin. And if we really want peace, as we often say in this House, then let us give a voice to all those who have not had a voice.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, 'Europe finds yourself, rediscovers your origins, renews your roots, returns to live authentic values that have made your history glorious': This is what Pope John Paul II said. Excluding just religious freedom, Europe is Christian. This is our identity and it is what has united our peoples for millennia. Yet, nowadays being a Christian often means being mocked, the object of unfair laws or even the target of hostility. It is no coincidence that in 2022 there were 748 hate crimes against Christians in Europe. The final affront was the blasphemous depiction of the Last Supper at the Paris Olympics. Then, in the face of all this, we must remember who we are. We must be proud of it and we must truly defend our roots. We have to shout: Stand up for Europe and stand up for what you are!

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I have heard so many good intentions today regarding the fight against drugs and related crimes and violence. So many good ideas to give more tools to law enforcement and Europol, which is already trying to do its part. But when will we move on to the facts? When will the political class begin to consider the fight against drugs a real and absolute priority? In fact, it risks being too late for us. The enemy is already in our homes and in our streets and risks annihilating and annihilating entire generations. Contrary to what a colleague said, we desperately need a fight against drugs. We must invest billions in the fight against drugs, billions in prevention and in the creation of healthy associative spaces, because this is an absolute priority. Finally, allow me: stay away from our young people the real sellers of smoke, who to get consensus propose the legalization of drugs. Instead, we have the duty to protect our young people from your deception and we will do so with all our strength, because, as Pope Francis said, "this plague, which produces violence and sows suffering and death, requires an act of courage".

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we are at war. Yeah, we're at war. But I'm not talking about the terrible conflicts on Europe's doorstep or in the Middle East: We also have war within our borders, in our cities, in our streets, in our homes and even in our children's rooms. It is the war we must fight against drug cancer, the victims of which are Europeans and the perpetrators are criminal groups and drug dealers. The situation is getting worse. Thousands of Europeans die every year from overdoses, around 1 000 000 people are being treated and 50% of homicides are directly linked to drug trafficking. The cocaine market, as also attested by Europol and the Commission, has increased by 400 % in ten years. In addition, as if that were not enough, here too new synthetic drugs are taking hold, such as fentanyl, which is already mowing the American population. In this battle we cannot make rebates, we must act firmly and decisively. Let us not allow our youth to die or be shackled by one of the most deadly and powerful weapons of mass destruction. Let's not look the other way and legitimize the culture of highs. We must also be indignant in the face of lives and families destroyed for this. We must have the courage to act forcefully against the traffickers of death, against the murderers, because freedom and life are priceless and we must defend them at all costs.
