The follow up of the Conference on the Future of Europe (debate)

Yes, I assure you that I will also defend Italy's interests with transnational lists. I wonder, instead, if a colleague of yours, a colleague of mine Gozi, who was undersecretary of the Renzi government, undersecretary of the Gentiloni government and therefore had access to very particular papers and who then passed to the court of Macron, being a consultant and now a parliamentarian, can say the …

The follow up of the Conference on the Future of Europe (debate)

It was two Italian citizens who asked me for the blue card I knew and who had the party card in their pockets. So, since that was not the place, I will confront them at another time. I listened to another Italian citizen, on the other hand, who spoke within the European Democracy Group, who made it clear that we discussed transnational lists, an uncomfortable point that we do not agree with. This …

The European Commission Guidelines on inclusive language (topical debate)

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, live Christmas and live Christian traditions.

This is the great teaching of Schuman and Pope John Paul II, the Holy Pope, who defeated the empire of evil embodied by Soviet …

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 24-25 June 2021 (debate)
