The erosion of the rule of law in Greece: the wiretapping scandal and media freedom (topical debate)

Madam President, in my own country, Greece, the country where democracy was born, over the last four years we have been experiencing a rapid degradation of democracy, a great erosion of the rule of law, a blatant contraction of press freedom and pluralism. And the political responsibility for this great setback, which you have heard from Commissioner McGuinness and the Commission's report, and fro…

REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans (debate)

Madam President, the Recovery Fund is a positive step and REPower EU is taking a positive and insufficient step based on a compromise. The European Parliament's negotiating team has passed several of our positions on this compromise. But the big problem, the big disadvantage, is that we are trying to finance the response to the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis with the money we decided to use …

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 15 December 2022 (continuation of debate)

Madam President, Mr Charles Michel, the embellishment of the situation, which you and Mrs von der Leyen have made, is not a good adviser. More diplomatic initiatives from the European Union, combined with solidarity in Ukraine, are needed to end the war. As the economy slows down, stronger solidarity and support measures are needed in favour of the weakest. Because democracy and the rule of law ar…

Rules to prevent the misuse of shell entities for tax purposes (debate)

Mr President, the revelations are shocking: Panama Papers, Bahamas Leaks, Paradise Papers, Pandora Papers. A tax piracy that costs tens of billions of euros every year. Very wealthy people – few – and large companies use shell companies not to pay taxes, thus depriving European and state budgets of revenue, leading to overtaxation of wage earners, freelancers, small and medium-sized enterprises. T…

System of own resources of the European Union (debate)

Mr President, the interinstitutional agreement on the creation of new own resources must go ahead. Firstly, because we need to find the money to repay the NextGenerationEU loan without burdening the Community budget by cutting programmes that citizens expect, but also to finance the new Social Climate Fund and tackle energy poverty. That is why we support the Commission's proposal as a Parliament …

2023 budgetary procedure: joint text (debate)

Mr President, the European Parliament has tried and achieved some improvements in the Commission's proposal. It was a difficult effort in which I actively participated on behalf of the Left Group in the European Parliament. And it was difficult because, as usual, the Council called for drastic cuts. But the improvements we have achieved in this difficult compromise are not enough and that is why I…

Borrowing strategy to finance NextGenerationEU (debate)

Madam President, the common European loan of EUR 750 billion for the creation of the European Recovery Fund was one of the important positive moments for the European Union. That is why this project must succeed; And in order to succeed, Mr Hahn, the agreement we have reached, Parliament, the Commission and the Council, on new own resources, must proceed as agreed. This means that the Council must…

REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans (debate)

Mr President, tackling the energy crisis requires drastic measures and RepowerEU is a positive step. But, Mr Dombrovskis and Mr Gentiloni, the European Parliament, united from the centre-right to the left, is calling for significant and drastic improvements to the Commission's proposal. And first of all, an increase in funding, because it does not reach the €20 billion that the Commission is recyc…

Commission Work Programme 2023 (debate)

Mr President, the Commission's programme for 2023 is timid, procrastinating and inferior, Mr Šefčovič. Two responsible Commissioners, Mr Gentiloni and Mr Breton, proposed a Eurobond with joint borrowing, guaranteed by the Commission in response to the energy crisis, as we did with the European Recovery Fund in response to the pandemic. What does the Commission say about this proposal in its progra…

General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2023 - all sections (debate)

Madam President, the European Parliament, gentlemen of the Council and Mr Hahn from the Commission, considers the Council's proposal for the 2023 budget unacceptable and inferior to the circumstances. We are at war on our borders; we have inflation running in the European Union at 10% – a decades-old record; we have an upsurge in punctuality and poverty; reduction of employment; the risk of a rece…
