The EU’s role in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the accountability of Israel under international law (topical debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, after more than 1 000 days of ethnic cleansing, 75 000 confirmed deaths and millions of displaced persons, this Parliament still does not condemn the Israeli genocide. And to clear your conscience, you are proposing a debate on the role of the European Union in the reconstruction of Gaza. But, I say, with what courage, honestly? There are thousands…

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Look, I'll tell you very briefly: the problem of corruption in Ukraine is there and it is evident, and today, here, in the end, we speak as if nothing were to welcome Ukraine. There is also a problem with the funds, there is a problem with the European budget, which is very important and, I repeat, has a great impact on the regions, for example, of southern Italy. But I say one thing: In four year…

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, make it clear: you have decided to send us all into bankruptcy and war, because you are turning Ukraine's accession process into a blind race towards war armageddon, because of the urgent need to bring into the European Union a country whose government has elevated to national heroes the collaborators of the UPA, perpetrators of the massacres in Vo…

Preparation of the European Council (joint debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, there is no point in turning around. The next Council will be yet another failure, like all those who preceded it. Failure on Peace: zero diplomacy, weapons and endless war in Ukraine. Failure on the economy: skyrocketing energy prices, zero investment and no support plan for households and businesses. In the new multipolar world, Europe should dialogue with eve…

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we welcome the launch of the European strategy against poverty, because it is a necessary act. They finally open their eyes to reality. Because of your neoliberal policies, cuts in social spending and the warmongering choices of the von der Leyen Commission, poverty bites more and more citizens and workers.

Political repression and humanitarian situation in Cuba (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today we are talking about Cuba and with the usual, masterful hypocrisy of this Parliament, we are able to talk about human rights without mentioning the elephant in the room: The U.S. embargo has been in place for 66 years. What you hide under the carpet is what all this means: lack of energy and basic necessities to the detriment of the most fragile: pregna…

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I refer to the Rules of Procedure, Rule 202, because we consider the interpretation of Rule 188 to be incorrect.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for you, enlargement has become the geopolitical tool with which the EU dictates the foreign policy of its eastern neighbours and is doing so by applying the usual double standards.
