ES Written Statement

Ongoing hearings under Article 7(1) TEU regarding Poland and Hungary (debate)

The Socialist delegation voted in favour of this resolution as it shows a genuine commitment to make significant progress in the ongoing Article 7(1) TEU procedures, in line with its obligations under the Treaties. At Parliament’s request, hearings are not organised in a regular, structured and open manner. We urge future Presidencies to organise hearings regularly and at least once per Presidency…

ES Speech

Strengthening global health resilience in partner countries (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, every crisis, including health, challenges us in our foundations, in what we cherish most, even in our identity. And we are likely to emerge worse from a crisis; But discipline is about doing everything in our power to be better. COVID-19 was an example: the European Union invested, it did so jointly. The European Union promoted scientific and technical research and …

Escalation in the Middle East (debate)

Watch

Thank you so much for taking my question, dear colleague Kelly. It's been years that I follow you with respect. But since you have the last word on behalf of your group, don't you find it weird that in your analysis there's one link missing, which is that the United States' Trump Administration is such a disruptive actor. He just visited Ireland – again, disrupting. Don't you think that there is n…

ES Speech

Feasibility of a 28th tax regime and its potential to support EU competitiveness (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, the 28th regime – EU Inc. – is an ambitious goal: create harmonised rules for the constitution, governance and capital structures of innovative companies consistent with what is proposed in the Letta and Draghi reports – with which this legislature started – and, in addition, do so by a regulation, i.e. requiring only a qualified majority in the Council. Well, not on…

ES Speech

Evaluation of the Common Fisheries Policy and follow-up (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, from the considerations of this evaluation of fisheries policy I agree with those that refer to the outermost regions, such as the Canary Islands, where artisanal fishing is a contribution not only to the economy or employment, but, above all, to culture, in addition to sustainability and even to food sovereignty itself. But small-scale fishing requires responses tha…

Joint communication on humanitarian aid (JOIN(2026)0025) (debate)

Watch

Mr President, in global disorder and the multiplication of natural disasters due in large part to global warming, humanitarian aid is more urgent than ever. There have never been more humanitarian needs, nor more urgent, than at this time we are talking about. And yet the European Union, which is the world champion in development aid and humanitarian aid, has an obligation to improve the diplomati…

The impact of the 1974 Turkish invasion on Cypriot women and girls, and the crimes committed by Turkish forces and consequences on gender equality (B10-0333/2026)

Watch

Madam President, during my tenure as Chair of the Committee on Freedoms, Justice and Home Affairs, I had the honour of being the standing rapporteur for missing persons in Cyprus, the northern part of which was invaded by Turkey in 1974. I therefore committed myself to those thousands of missing persons whose families are still waiting for reparation and justice. We voted on a motion for a resolut…

Defending European democracy and the integrity of the European Parliament in light of revelations that an MEP was subject to surveillance by illegal spyware (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, I had the honour of being a member of the Pegasus Committee of Inquiry last parliamentary term and the purpose of the Committee of Inquiry is to draw conclusions that are binding on the Commission to take legislative initiatives. I remember them very well: a European reference laboratory and, above all, to declare illegal – as incompatible with the Charter of Fundame…

The abduction, forced conversion and child marriage of Maria Shahbaz and the protection of girls in Pakistan

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, the European Union has a powerful embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, as do several Member States of the European Union bilaterally. It cannot be that the entire diplomatic force of the European Union looks the other way at the violation of human rights, which are the first determination of the entire foreign and defence and security policy of the European Union according t…

ES Speech

Narco-trafficking in Europe’s waters: protecting our borders and supporting our law enforcement officers (debate)

Watch

Mr President, Commissioner, we have been in the European Parliament for two years and it is rare for the plenary session, if any, to be freed from a point where the forces opposing the Spanish Government do not use it instrumentally to criticise it. It is deplorable in such a sensitive matter that it should stimulate both our unity and the fight against drug trafficking at our external borders and…

ES Speech

EU’s response and preparedness to protect people against recurring heatwaves and upcoming wildfires (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, it is clear from the intensity of this debate and the controversy that has arisen that the European Union is the region of the world most affected by global warming and has a tragic balance in mortality this summer, but lowering the standards in European ambition on the digital agenda and on the migration agenda is certainly not harmful and, in my opinion, suicidal. …

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 18-19 June 2026 (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, a debate on the conclusions of the European Council without the Council is absolutely unacceptable. Tell him and send him three messages. First of all: support for Ukraine, of course. But when the time comes for peace negotiations, Europe has to make sure that it is on the table and not on the menu. Secondly: responsibilities of Russia. That requires supporting the a…

Air passenger rights (A10-0191/2026 - Andrey Novakov)

Watch

Mr President, at this July plenary session of the European Parliament the final vote on the regulation on air passenger rights has taken place and it is a vote that has two extraordinary features that deserve to be underlined. The first is the vast majority: voted in favour of the almost entire parliamentary arc. It has received favourable votes from all parliamentary groups. The reason is simple:…

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Watch

Madam President, Commissioner, this intense and protracted debate on Ukraine reveals two pieces of evidence that need to be expressed. The first is that the connection between Ukraine’s defence support in the face of Russia’s aggression and future accession negotiations is so close that it cannot be resolved unless the European Union matures sufficiently and grows sufficiently to be seated at the …

Presentation of the Action Plan on Cybersecurity and AI (debate)

Watch

Mr. President, OpenAI, Mythos, Anthropos, border artificial intelligence... Why are they turning against the regulatory power of the European Union? Because they're afraid of it. Therefore, a cybersecurity strategy in artificial intelligence that is purely European has to abound in what distinguishes it and exactly what mastodons fear: its transparency, its accounting, its subjection to fundamenta…
