The follow up of the Conference on the Future of Europe (debate)

Madam President, the Conference on the Future of Europe has taken a positive step. Those of us who had doubts as to whether it was indeed a positive step towards a more united, more democratic, more transparent, more just social Europe have received screams, insults and derogatory remarks from the far-right wing of the European Parliament, and this convinces us that something good has been done by…

There are other requests for a blue card but it is obvious, I think, that other colleagues would like to raise questions and objections. As Chair-in-Office, I think that two blue cards are more than enough to ask questions to the previous speaker and we will therefore proceed with the list of registered speakers to whom you are also entitled to ask blue card questions.…

Guidelines for the 2023 budget – Section III (debate)

Madam President, Russia's barbaric invasion of Ukraine and war compel us to think outside the doctrine of "business as usual" and in matters of peace. The European Union must be a protagonist and not a lagging behind in efforts to bring about a ceasefire. It is inconceivable that Erdoğan would play this role as a so-called peacemaker and that the European Union would be virtually absent. We cannot…

Debriefing of the European Council meeting in Paris on 10 March 2022 - Preparation of the European Council meeting 24-25 March 2022 (debate)

Madam President, the brutal invasion of Ukraine by the Putin regime requires a common, strong, united European response at all levels: both at the level of the economy and at the level of energy. And common crises – we have learned from the pandemic – require common responses, strong and swift. The pandemic led the European Union to create the Recovery and Resilience Fund and make a huge common Eu…
