EU cybersecurity and preparedness in view of advanced AI systems (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we must not fear progress, but we must govern it, so that technology remains at the service of man and does not escape the control of society. The risks of artificial intelligence are there for all to see: from deep fakes to even more serious threats, cyberattacks, large-scale identified vulnerabilities, attacks against critical infrastructure and essential s…

The Commission’s 2025 Rule of Law report (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this report seems, at times, to be a political manifesto of the European left: the rule of law used as a tool to brandish against governments that do not obey, against peoples who vote "evil", against those who defend their identity. It's a game we know well. But allow me a deeper reflection: We are faced with an almost philosophical claim. It is not enough to c…

Restoring control of migration: returns, visa policy and third-country cooperation (topical debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for too long Europe has been pretending not to see. Uncontrolled immigration was justified as inevitable, while in fact the political agenda was dictated under the impetus of immigration lobbies. Those who lived outside the reality rejoiced, while our territories were crushed under unmanageable pressure, which left the isolated administrations and citizens in a …

After 10 years, time to end mass migration now - protect our women and children (topical debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, for years this Parliament has preferred to turn a blind eye to reality.
