Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

I want to ask you – because you were among the people who actually worked on the file – do you think it has teeth right now? What does it need to do? And what would you do in the case that we are discussing right now? Is a fine going to solve democracy? Is simply putting a money fine retribution for what happened, or what should we actually do here?…

Mrs. Soşoacă, you may not have seen the hundreds of thousands of young people who were not represented in Romania. That was the value of my candidacy, the hundreds of thousands of young people, the young people on the street. As for the LGBT culture you're talking about, it's the culture of some citizens, it's the right of some citizens. Don't hate what you don't understand. If you say you are a p…

Madam President, dear colleagues, how do we explain that a candidate with less than 7% in the polls, a few days before the elections, is suddenly discovered by millions of Romanians and ranks first in the results? Perhaps many will say that it is an enlightenment or an awakening to the truth, but the truth is different and the Recorder showed it. You can even build a fake politician profile, using…

For sophistic argument in a very patient way, I want to ask you one thing: does it matter when millions are pumped from somewhere that is not disclosed, that we do not know, that is potentially foreign interference of grave, grave impact? Or does it not matter because you said all the groups here use financing for online content? Does it matter when it comes from Putin? Does it matter when it come…

Madam President, why do extremists win? The Russians are cold.

Mr President, Romania woke up with a shock this morning. Elections divide and sometimes divide children from their parents.

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

Mr President, I look at the young people there in the gallery and I think about what I heard in the campaign. I went to universities, high schools, and the young people said that the teachers told them: "You're too sensitive! Anxiety at 16? I'm sure you haven't eaten today. What psychiatrist, go? Are you crazy? How to go to a psychologist?" That's what young people hear when, in fact, they ask for…
