Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 23 October 2025 (debate)

Madam President, dear colleagues, Europe is going through a decisive moment. Faced with worsened economic pressures, we must show that European unity is not just a phrase, but a real force. Our direction must be clear: a Europe able to defend itself, with reduced strategic dependencies and investment in industry, energy and competitiveness. But these goals, dear representatives of the Council and of the European Commission, cannot be achieved without an adequate European budget and a strong social dimension. You seem to forget that. This includes a deal on the Russian frozen assets. We need lower energy prices, a fair digital transition, less bureaucracy and access to housing and decent jobs for all Europeans. For our neighbours, from the Republic of Moldova to the Western Balkans, we must send a clear message: Europe remains open, united and committed to democratic enlargement as soon as possible, so stop blocking the process. This is the Europe I believe in – a strong, fair and united Europe ready to defend these values through action, not only through words.

General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2026 – all sections (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, the European Union's budget for 2026 is not just about figures, but about where Europe is going. I have proposed in Parliament’s position concrete measures for a safer, fairer and more prepared Europe for the challenges of the future. Firstly, the creation of the European maritime security hub at the Black Sea, an essential initiative to protect energy and trade routes, but also to strengthen the European presence in an area of strategic importance. I also managed to include through my amendments in the position of the European Parliament more than EUR 250 million in additional allocations for key areas such as research, energy, agriculture, health, education and support for young people and SMEs. We said no to austerity and asked for more resources, including for new pilot projects, such as the one on financing tourist routes, such as Via Transilvanica. Europe needs a bold budget that invests in people, provides stability and protection for its citizens, and leaves no region and no person behind.

Commission Work Programme 2026 (debate)

Mr President, Europe must rebuild its trust through concrete solutions and a well-executed agenda. In 2026, our priorities must be education, health, digitalisation and access to housing, all underpinned by a fair and courageous budget. Education is the basis for any progress and that is why it is important to discuss the future of Erasmus+. At the same time, in the area of health we see a proposal for the European Global Health Resilience Facility, and this is crucial to strengthen the capacity of Member States to produce essential medicines and provide affordable treatments for all. At the same time, many proposals refer to the future Multiannual Financial Framework and we repeat that we support a dedicated budget for people that will create jobs, support public services and make all our communities stronger. But the future of Europe also depends on digitalisation, some concrete proposals that will advance the European economy. Last but not least, we support this idea of coming up with a concrete proposal on access to decent housing. So the Europe we are fighting for is one that educates, protects and innovates and gives dignity.
