EU support for a just, sustainable and comprehensive peace in Ukraine (debate)

Mr. President, please. We have had almost 50 plenary debates on the war situation in Ukraine. The EU has sent more than €150 billion in support to Ukraine. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people were lost on the frontline, and we were no closer to ending the war. This is a failure of the European strategy. At last, the Union should be determined to take active action and support diplomatic eff…

2023 and 2024 reports on Serbia (debate)

Mr. President, please. Stability in the Western Balkans is a fundamental interest of the European Union and Serbia is a key country. It is therefore in our security and strategic interest to support the country's European path. After 20 years of accession, the EU has slowly lost credibility in the region. As Patriot responsible for the report we are discussing, I see the text as unbalanced, too on…

CFSP and CSDP (Article 36 TUE) (joint debate)

Dear Madam President, It is scary that the EU promotes a kind of war psychosis. It was in this spirit that the Annual Report on the Common Foreign and Security Policy was drawn up, which was a very biased text. If we move forward with this foreign policy strategy, it is no wonder that the Union is left alone in the new geopolitical field. Rather than inciting panic, the EU should work to strengthe…

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 20 March 2025 (debate)

Dear Madam President, The European Union is a peace project created to guarantee peace and security for its citizens. The Commission's latest proposal is for European citizens to build up an emergency reserve of 72 hours. It's basically a war of panic. This is dangerous because it creates fear and is unfounded. After three years of terrible destruction in Ukraine, what is most needed now is Europe…

Election of the Commission (vote)

Dear Madam President, In June, a majority of voters voted for change. They had every reason to do that. The legacy of the past few years has been a multiple crisis. There is a war going on in the neighbourhood, the migration situation is unresolved, the European economy is stagnating, and the Schengen system is deteriorating. So the citizens voted for change, but the President of the Commission ch…

Madam President, I'm sorry. It is the thousandth day of the devastating war in Ukraine and the end is not apparent.

We sympathise with the people of Ukraine, recognise their right to self-defence and stand up fo…
