What Stanislav spoke about.

Madam President, UN General Assembly Resolution 27/58 recognises the Government of the People's Republic of China as China's sole legal representative to the UN. It is an essential instrument in international law. The One China policy is a long-standing position of the European Union and we should not give it up. Tensions in the region are not in the interest of the European Union because the Taiwan Strait is key to international trade and global supply chains in key sectors such as semiconductors. Unilateral and provocative actions could trigger a humanitarian and political crisis. The conduct of the European Union must be based on international law. Let's focus on diplomacy and avoid militarization. I call on all political forces to work together to prevent another potential conflict and to focus on a peaceful diplomatic solution to the crisis in the Taiwan Strait.

Mr President, Commissioner, honourable citizens of the European Union, freedom of movement is one of the fundamental achievements of the Union and an asset for us and for the economies of our countries. The Schengen area is indeed a tool in this direction. However, the European Union must be concerned not only with freedom of movement, but also with the security of its citizens. Today, the Schengen area is in a serious crisis and does not meet the needs precisely in terms of security. It does not respond to the geopolitical realities and risks we all face. The Schengen agreement needs to be reformed to ensure the security of member states and zero illegal migration. This means, first of all, strengthening the Union's external borders and financially supporting the Member States charged with their protection, because there are no secure internal borders without secure external ones. The European Union must, of course, ensure that these funds are properly spent. The approach to security and migration must be completely rethought if we really want safety and stability. The time for a comprehensive, coordinated reform is now.

Madam President, in Gaza and the West Bank, the situation is reaching the level of genocide. Civilian casualties among the Palestinian population now exceed 41,000, and more than half of them are women and children. According to the latest UN figures, an average of 130 civilians die every day in Gaza and the West Bank, 10 times more than in Ukraine. The European Union is built on the foundations of peace. The bloodshed in Gaza has reached critical proportions, but the European institutions remain disturbingly passive in the face of this enormous human tragedy. We strongly condemn all forms of violence. The European Union’s response to the war in Ukraine, while fruitless, was swift and decisive. There is almost no response to the tragedy in Gaza. How long will we continue to maintain double standards? We demand more than words, we demand a unified and consistent approach to all military conflicts around the world, and above all, we demand peace.
