Presentation of the Energy Package (debate)

Dear colleagues, I will now only take one blue card per person because we are behind on time. I will also close the catch-the-eye session. I think everyone in the room should be advantaged.

Presentation of the Energy Package (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, you still have a difficult task - to take care of houses, and the heat in them. But I'm glad we have this plan, because it's important, because in the country where I come from to have warmth there was a lottery this winter. The world slowed down, much slower, they put another sweater on them, they said, "It's good and 16 degrees and 18 degrees." And that's not what we need in Europe. We have to have predictability, we have to help people. When people take their destiny into their own hands to build an energy community, they are not allowed to enter the market. Big companies do not let them - surplus energy, for example, sell it, give it to children, do good, give energy to the other cheaply. We need to support energy communities. We must somehow reduce people's bills, because we are discussing great ideas here, but if people do not feel in their home that they are doing well, they will not support Europe. What we are doing here is very important and I can't wait to see the four pillars with all the actions. We can't wait for them - let's be very clear. And one more thing: we don't need dependencies on all sorts of dictators - Aliyev, I don't know which one, no. We need our renewable, European-produced energy, energy produced also by people with European support, good European energy. That's what the Green Deal is about. It's not about some leftist, Marxist, WWC conspiracy, it's about a Europe that relies on its own energy.

Guidelines for the 2027 budget - Section III (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, we cannot talk one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. We either have priorities or we just have words. And here I will talk about the housing crisis, which we have been talking about all week, because many people expect from us some very concrete solutions, which we must have. I also want to have a European fund for social housing, a European fund for the construction of homes, a European fund for improving the poor housing of poor people, people without financial means. I know people who write directly to me on Instagram, they say to me: ‘I am a 31-year-old woman. My husband earns the minimum wage. I, for the house, still have to wait a long time." Other people say to me: "I only have to be a couple to get a loan from the bank. I can’t do it alone, I can’t do it alone, nobody listens to me alone.” So it's time for Europe to use everything it has - all the European social funds, regional development funds, all put together - and make a big package for living in Europe. If we do not solve this problem, the population will not be satisfied and will not support us. We will have a united Europe when we have a social Europe.

Dear colleagues, we are now at the catch-the-eye session. Before I give you the floor, I just want to repeat one thing. This House is a House of dignity. Offensive language, such as the one used by Mr Vistisen, is not acceptable in this House no matter how strong our political feelings are. It is about dignity – our own dignity. There will be consequences in accordance to his speech.
