Audiovisual Media Services Directive obligations in the transatlantic dialogue (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood does not need any help to establish itself in Europe. It is already crushing our screens, our rooms, our platforms. European cinema, on the other hand, is relegated to the background, both in cinemas and on streaming services. Only the cultural exception fiercely defended by France, too often isolated elsewhere, has allowed us to maintain our produc…

Declaration of principles for a gender-equal society (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are still being talked about gender equality. But let us be lucid, behind these words hides an ideology that wants to erase the differences between men and women and that makes motherhood a shameful, almost taboo subject. Equality, the real thing, is to allow each woman to fully live her choices, to be a mother, to have a career or to reconcile the two. It is…

Choose Europe for Science (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, at the Sorbonne, the centre of French culture, Emmanuel Macron and Ursula von der Leyen organised a Europeanist staging: To make American activists look like martyrs of academic freedom. Let's be clear: These researchers are not persecuted, they are punished for turning universities into ideological hotbeds, where science gives way to propaganda. As they unro…

Roadmap for Women`s Rights (debate)
I do not see how you understood that I was saying that women and men were not equal. Moreover, I am glad to see that the cordon sanitaire has been broken, since you are speaking to us. Congratulations! That’s good. I'm just saying you're mixing everything up. Yes, radical Islam is a danger for women. I have two daughters; I do not want them to be veiled in ten years. In fact, you're mixing everyth…

Roadmap for Women`s Rights (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, self-satisfaction reigns supreme in this Chamber. In FEMM, it is accompanied by a misandry feminism and hatred of men. These institutions, under the guise of equality, fall into hypocrisy. They attack men while supporting a radical Islam that inferiorizes women. Did they not fund a campaign promoting the veil as a symbol of enslavement for millions of women a…

Boosting vocational education and training in times of labour market transitions (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, education and vocational training are national competences. Any attempt at European standardisation ignores the economic and cultural realities of each nation. In France, the devaluation of technical and manual training has led to a real disaster, while the massification of general education has left thousands of young people behind. There is an ur…

Addressing EU demographic challenges: towards the implementation of the 2023 Demography Toolbox (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in the face of the demographic challenge, which threatens the future of Europe, it is our duty to propose ambitious solutions to tackle it on our own, with and for the peoples of Europe. Rather than giving in to the ease of mass immigration, which jeopardises our social cohesion and our nations, we must invest in a genuine birth policy that respects our identiti…

Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)
Mr President, when the Commission talks about disinformation, it knows what it is talking about, which multiplies the control mechanisms of the media and social networks to impose its unique thinking. In Romania, the Constitutional Court recently invalidated elections on the grounds that citizens had been manipulated by videos on TikTok. Who can believe such nonsense? Yes, foreign interference in …

Global measures towards social media platforms - Strengthening the role of DSA and protecting democracy and freedom in the online sphere (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, censorship on social media has intensified in recent months, affecting platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. The left, at the origin of 90% of these censorships, already controlled the conventional media through regulations, but also thanks to collusion capitalism. While we must of course remove illegal content to protect people, it is essential …

European Media Freedom Act (debate)
Mr President, Commissioner, every time the European Union talks about freedom, we know that it is trying to fool us, and indeed this is still the case with this media regulation. First, because it wants to seize a national competence, which depends exclusively on the Member States. Secondly, because there is no real question of media freedom. We are well aware that pluralism and freedom of opinion…

Union certification framework for carbon removals
Mr President, the idea is appealing: remunerate farmers to capture carbon on their land through a voluntary, attractive and credible framework. But it will be quite the opposite. Their administrative burden will be very heavy. They will be responsible for controlling and maintaining the sequestered carbon, on pain of a fine. And this system will eventually become mandatory with much more constrain…

UN Climate Change Conference 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (COP28) (debate)
Madam President, for a world that emits more and more CO2, what failure and hypocrisy when we always ask the same people to make efforts, while China and India account for 70% of the world’s demand for coal. What does Mr Hoekstra think, back from China? And nobody wondered if the choice of Dubai, an anti-ecological city par excellence, was relevant. We keep talking about a just and fair transition…

The new European strategy for a better internet for kids (BIK+) (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the issue of the online protection of minors, and in particular children, is a fundamental issue that is of course close to my heart. While entering the internet age has many positive aspects, it has also put pornography at the click of a button for children. The figures show that this phenomenon is massive. As their brains develop, children will confuse sexu…

European Media Freedom Act (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, for Edmund Burke, an Irish philosopher, the media was already a fourth power in the 18th century, and since then their influence has grown steadily. In our modern societies and in our daily lives, the mass media has become ubiquitous. While this enormous information power is often coveted, the freedom of these media is one of the foundations of …

Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System - Monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport - Carbon border adjustment mechanism - Social Climate Fund - Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System for aviation (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, let us acknowledge this to the European Union: its ability to produce the standard is second to none, even in the worst of times. In the midst of the energy crisis, you want to raise an already high carbon price and lower the bill for European businesses and households. Because this new carbon market is nothing more than yet another tax on all fossil fuels used …

Binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States (Effort Sharing Regulation) - Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) - Revision of the Market Stability Reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, if, out of ambition, the European Union intends to lead us down the path of economic suicide, and that is a complete loss, then we do not have the same definition of that word and that is fundamental. Although the EU’s climate targets will be increasingly revised upwards, our efforts will be overwhelmed by the growth of the rest of the world. Do you want to m…

Key objectives for the CITES CoP19 meeting in Panama (debate)
Madam President, the number of species affected is constantly increasing worldwide. The existence of such a convention is therefore a good thing, and it must obviously be supported. It must also be a matter for sovereign states, which are in the best position to act effectively; Let’s make no mistake about the scale! Even though some animal populations are stabilising – or even increasing, in Afri…

Objection pursuant to Rule 111(3): Amending the Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and the Taxonomy Disclosures Delegated Act (debate)
Mr President, it was thought at the beginning of the year that the Commission had managed to find a reasonable compromise between States after the green light from its Committee of Experts. But obviously, the scientific argument was not enough to convince the most hostile. Among them, Parliament is trying to oppose this decision by all means. To the anti-nuclear obsession is added the well-founded…

Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System - Social Climate Fund - Carbon border adjustment mechanism - Revision of the EU Emissions Trading System for aviation - Notification under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) (joint debate – Fit for 55 (part 1))
Madam President, this climate package should be called the degrowth package, but that objective is not being met. The European Union's climate ambitions will apply indiscriminately and at any cost. For the time being, no impact assessment has yet been able to demonstrate the real effects of such regulation, but one can imagine that they will be very hard. However, you know that the ecological tran…

Establishing the European Education Area by 2025 – micro credentials, individual learning accounts and learning for a sustainable environment (debate)
Mr President, while education for people with disabilities or in remote areas is a noble goal, it is a pity that once again the European Parliament insists on putting ideology where common sense could have sufficed. This project of European standards around micro-credentials or automatic recognition of diplomas has an avowed aim. The objective pursued here is still an attack on the sovereignty of …

Revision of the Market Stability Reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (debate)
Madam President, this text could not have fallen at a worse time. In the midst of the crisis, as energy prices are soaring in Europe, you want to contribute to the rise in the carbon price on the ETS market and significantly increase the bill for European businesses and households. When we talk about the stability reserve, we expect to work for stability. However, we do not have the same prioritie…

Outcome of the COP26 in Glasgow (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, like the others before it, this COP was doomed to failure because it refuses to tackle the fundamental problems of commercial globalism, population growth and the use of advanced technology. Instead, we had a great moment of demagogic communication. States have multiplied solemn promises to reduce emissions and we were offered before the end, like a Hollywood fi…

Presentation of the Fit for 55 package after the publication of the IPCC report (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this veritable legislative tsunami is a pure product of bureaucratic greening. What is at stake in this coup de force is the reversal of European legislation, the decline in the competitiveness of our industry, the increase in taxes and energy bills and the strengthening of power in the hands of the Commission. And all of this is taking shape in the wake of the …
