Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, just to say that these are not obscure practices: It's called anti-fascism.

Preparation of the European Council of 19-20 December 2024 (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in the next Council you will be talking about Syria, Ukraine, the role of the Union in the world, the Middle East and immigration, but the question we can no longer avoid is: Is there a European foreign policy? Is the process towards political and federal Europe moving forward or is there an intergovernmental dimension? What should be done is in the words of …

Presentation by the President-elect of the Commission of the College of Commissioners and its programme (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we are looking at European citizens who are afraid of the future and are losing hope and are asking for protection. And individual countries alone will not be able to guarantee this future and only Europe can be a solution, but it must change: It is not an intergovernmental Europe of nations, but a Europe which, in the midst of world disorder, is returning to…

General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2025 – all sections (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, if there were a youth rights court, it would condemn the cuts to the European budget. In this place, Parliament, we have a duty to bring our values, our ideas, also to defend the interests of our people, which coincide with a stronger and more humane Europe. Because people are afraid, they ask for security, hope and – alone – no European country will ever be …

Urgent need for a ceasefire in Lebanon and for safeguarding the UNIFIL mission in light of the recent attacks (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, there is Europe in Lebanon: What is lacking is the coherence and unity of governments. Yet what we have done good in our history we have done when we have overcome national selfishness to look further. We are trying to do this because of Putin's war on Ukraine, but not, unfortunately, in the face of the wars in the Levant, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon, wh…

World Mental Health Day - need for a comprehensive EU strategy on mental health (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, something is wrong and we must look the monster in the face. That is why I want to bring to this Parliament the demands that a new generation is putting on politics and that are often not seen. According to the Eurobarometer, in the last twelve months, 46% of respondents have suffered from emotional or psychosocial problems, such as depression and anxiety, and t…

Preparation of the European Council of 17-18 October 2024 (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, fears are fought with a stronger and more humane Europe and certainly not by creating fears or by pointing to scapegoats such as immigration. That is why, yesterday in committee, Parliament rejected the proposal for a European budget put forward by the Council. A proposal that cuts the future and cuts hundreds of millions on youth programmes, research, health an…

The future of European competitiveness (debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the report clearly states an inconvenient truth: Europe is no longer able to achieve levels of development and growth that guarantee its citizens peace, security, social protection, work and well-being, that is, what it undertook to guarantee in the post-World War II period. And if he can no longer do it, he loses his raison d'être. The solution to the crisis…
