Media freedom in Georgia, particularly the case of Mzia Amaglobeli

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are here to vote on yet another resolution on Georgia. I want to say that freedom of the press is important, it is an essential value and that it is right to demand the release of Amaglobeli. But I find it unbearable to use human rights and democratic rhetoric for mere geopolitical purposes and to attack countries that have chosen a foreign policy other than …

Upcoming NATO summit on 24-26 June 2025 (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, NATO has evolved from a defensive alliance into a war machine over the years, and we Europeans are also to blame. The European Union has uncritically followed the lines of foreign policy dictated by the United States, both in Ukraine and by supporting the war criminal Netanyahu. And what are the results? Loss of credibility and total irrelevance. Von der Leyen t…

Situation in the Middle East (joint debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, once again we have to acknowledge the inadequacy of the political representatives of the European Union. You announced the 18th package of sanctions on Russia as you silently watch Israel tear apart all that remains of international law. Humanitarian agencies estimate more than 120,000 dead in Gaza, the largest ethnic cleansing operation since the end of World W…

80 years after the end of World War II - freedom, democracy and security as the heritage of Europe (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, there may be a small misunderstanding in today's discussion. We celebrate the end of the Second World War: But we must never forget that it was Europe that gave birth to the monster of Nazi-fascism. Hitler and Mussolini were not madmen from Mars but the product of a supremacist ideology that still survives today and does not survive only in those who adhere t…

Dramatic situation in Gaza and the need for an immediate return to the full implementation of the ceasefire and hostage release agreement (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, once again we will not be voting on a resolution condemning the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Continuing the unwavering EU support for Ukraine, after three years of Russia’s war of aggression (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe cannot be cut off from the peace negotiations in Ukraine: This is what a senior European official complained about a few days ago in the media. These are crocodile tears of a political class – ranging from von der Leyen to Kallas, to Meloni, to the German Greens – that has failed across the board and has led Europe to lose credibility in the world.

We all agree that Russia is not only waging a war on the ground, but is using real means of disinformation, because we are all aware that the truth is the first victim of any war.
