US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, the World Health Organisation and the suspension of US development and humanitarian aid (debate)

Your group is fighting hard on migration. What do you think will happen to people who are left without means in North Africa, in the Saharan region, who are left to climate change, to war, to war of water, of resources? Where would they go? Where would they go if we don't help them where they are? If we don't help them develop where they are? Aren't you by having this argument, by bowing to King T…

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)

Madam President, I listen to some recently and, quite frankly, quoting Zuckerberg, quoting Musk, in this debate is like quoting the owner of Haribo on the benefits of gummy bears! Social media has promised to connect us, but in reality, they separate us. Parents sit in one room, children in another, each living in a reality given by their screen. Algorithms decide what we see. Algorithms decide wh…

Ceasefire in Gaza - the urgent need to release the hostages, to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to pave the way for a two-state solution (debate)

I listened to all the comments made by the right and the extreme right in the House. To deny the existence of Palestine – because you said the two‑state solution was a fantasy – where would you like these people to go? Where would you like the millions? Maybe push them out into the sea? How is anything but a two‑state solution even reasonable in your mind? You mentioned the example of Bosnia, but …

Mr President, imagine that as a young child you are kidnapped from your home to a faraway land. Only half your friends and family survive the trip. 50 years later, you return – only to once again be forced out of your home, this time with your own grandchildren. This is exactly what is happening to thousands of Crimean Tatars, because the easiest way to destroy a culture is to make them doubt thei…
