EU’s response and preparedness to protect people against recurring heatwaves and upcoming wildfires (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, we are living the coolest summer of the rest of our lives. The heatwave is no longer an anomaly, it is our new normal, and this heatwave is killing: 200,000 people in Europe in four years! Sue Ellen Demestre sounded the alarm on behalf of the Travellers: We are looking for a climate refuge. We can no longer breathe!" Sarah, homeless mother of four, says that …

Amending Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 on securitisation and a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation (A10-0138/2026 - Ralf Seekatz) (vote)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, securitisation is the practice that allows banks to package thousands of home loans and sell them on the financial markets. It was also the same product that triggered the 2008 financial crisis, leading to the bankruptcy of tens of thousands of businesses and bringing tens of thousands of families to the streets. Following the crisis, we agreed on clear rules so…

The need to reduce work-related fatalities (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, a week ago, a young alternator died crushed by a forklift. His name was Ethan and he had just turned 18. On 17 April, just one month ago, another young person also lost his life to a forklift in Bagnols-sur-Cèze. He was a high school student, only 15 years old. In France, more than 100,000 workers under the age of 25 have been injured at work and 423 have died s…

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, 93 million people are living in precarious situations in Europe today. $93 million. And yet, the most worrying thing is not this figure; It is our collective ability to get used to it. We get used to seeing people sleeping on the street without even greeting them anymore, get used to the lines that lie in front of the food banks, get used to it, and end up co…

Reviewing the ETS system to support European competitiveness (topical debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, for months now, the extreme right here – or, for that matter, quite little – has been constantly calling into question companies’ climate obligations on the pretext of competitiveness, and sometimes even pretending to defend the European working classes. At bottom, the far right is putting the climate issue in the background, even as Europe is overheating. An…

Presentation of the Fertilisers Action Plan (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, you are here today to present an action plan for high-priced fertilisers. But behind the stakes of costs lies a brutal reality: We let the poison enter our diet. This poison is cadmium. It comes precisely from fertilisers that accumulate in the soil, seep into crops and land in our bread, our cereals, our potatoes. In France, contamination has almost doubled in ten y…

Roma inclusion, equality and fundamental rights: delivering on Europe’s values (debate)
Madam Speaker, stigmatizing people for their essence, for their identity, is called racism and it is reprehensible by law. I deeply regret that these remarks can be made in this Chamber without being sanctioned. It is absolutely intolerable what you have done, Madam, and I hope that the hatred you bear will return to you as a boomerang, because it is absolutely intolerable. In France, Angela Rosta…

EU strategy in response to the ongoing Middle East crisis, its implications on energy prices and the availability of fertilizers (joint debate)
Mr President, the crisis we are going through again puts us before our responsibilities and these are historic, because, because we have not separated sufficiently quickly from fossil fuels, energy prices are skyrocketing and our citizens are suffering as a result: plus 70% for the price of gas in the EU, €2 per litre at the pump in France, it is untenable. With each crisis, we realize the colossa…

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 19 March 2026 (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, our dependence on fossil fuels destroys the climate, undermines our sovereignty and is extremely expensive for European citizens. The soaring prices at the pump still make this clear today. With the Green Deal, we took a step towards decarbonisation: energy efficiency, reducing gas consumption and supporting renewables rather than fossil lobbi…

European Semester for economic policy coordination 2026 - European Semester for economic policy coordination: employment and social priorities for 2026 (joint debate)
Madam President, the European Commission is now using the European Semester as almost the only steering tool for Member States to work first, and unfortunately perhaps only, on competitiveness rather than on improving the lives of European citizens. Yet well-being and economics are far, far from incompatible. We should indeed pursue our fiscal policy with a key aim, that of placing humanity betwee…

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)
Madam President, millions of Europeans are no longer able to find a decent home. More than a million people now live on the street. This situation should have prompted our Parliament to claim the right to dignified housing. And yet, the European right is now proposing that we roll out the red carpet to finance at the expense of Europeans. Bank deregulation, unconditional public subsidies, relaunch…

Developing a new EU anti-poverty strategy (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, 'it is not poverty that is shame, it is abandonment'. This sentence, pronounced from the working-class districts of Nîmes, reflects the experience of more than 93 million Europeans today, in 2026. Abandonment is therefore a political choice. Poverty is a political choice, to eradicate it too. Today we are proud to call for a first-ever European …

A new action plan to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights (debate)
Madam President, Commissioner, you have a lot of responsibilities and, on our part, a lot of expectations, because it has been decades since the European Union has made commitments to social rights, objectives and, unfortunately, has not achieved them. This oral question is therefore intended to ask you how we will achieve them, but perhaps also to affirm our determination to work alongside you. T…

Murder of Mehdi Kessaci - urgent need for ambitious European action against drug trafficking (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today we honour the memory of Mehdi Kessaci, a 20-year-old man who was cowardly murdered in the street by men who were, in reality, after his brother, Amine Kessaci, who was committed against drug trafficking. As you know, Amine is with us in this Chamber, and I believe he does not want me to talk about him, but rather about his brother. So let me tell you a few…

Outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference - Belém (COP30) (debate)
Mr President, November 2025: the climate is getting out of order, forests are burning, disasters are multiplying and hitting, as always, first and foremost the most vulnerable, and global climate action is a halt. But perhaps worse for us here in this Chamber, November 2025: another COP, and the European voice is extinguished, because of its procrastination, its hesitations, its national egoisms –…

Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the islamist attacks of 13 November 2015 in Paris (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to remind you of the Rules of Procedure, Rule 40 on fundamental rights, because at the last plenary session we adopted a text that is essential for soil health, and therefore for human health. Yes, European soils are contaminated: by industry, but also by hazardous pesticides. This is the case for soils in Guadeloupe and Martinique, polluted with…

Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the islamist attacks of 13 November 2015 in Paris (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, there are events that forever hurt our memory, and this is the case of the unprecedented terrorist violence that shook France and left its mark on Europe ten years ago. I obviously remember that day as if it were yesterday, the anguished calls, the fear in the belly and the frightened eyes of the children, who offered long and their nights and days to the dar…

UN Climate Change Conference 2025 in Belém, Brazil (COP30) (debate)
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner. His name was François, he was only 23 years old and he was preparing to receive his diploma when, this Monday, this alternating in the building perished, crushed by a crane, caught in a tornado in the Paris region, a region not supposedly affected by extreme weather events. So, we could devote this minute to paying tribute to him and to saying o…
