EU-Mexico (joint debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Haven't you learned to learn from history? What happened in cooperation with China should show in which direction to go. Many years ago, exactly the same hopes were placed in trade with China as today with Mercosur, with India, now with Mexico. It didn't do any good. Today we have times in which we should build resilience, independence, beca…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President, thank you very much. We now have an unprecedented situation in Poland: some EPP politicians block the activities and operation of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. We've got the defendant, we've got the suspect, we've got the person charged with bribery. Firstly, bribery, which concerns European funds. And unfortunately, with this majority, with the participation of the EPP, P…

Simplification of the implementation of harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (Digital Omnibus on AI) (debate)

Ladies and Gentlemen, today we are talking about artificial intelligence and we are talking about simplifications in this regard, but also about the risks that arise from artificial intelligence. But there are also extremely serious problems, I don't even know if they are more important. That is why I would like to ask you, but also all of you, have you heard about Leszek Kraskowski? This is a jou…

Mr President, thank you very much. Here in the European Parliament, I would like to ask you if you have heard about the defamation of journalists, entering private homes, entering TV stations under the pretext of denunciations, often anonymous? Didn't you hear that? It's just not talked about in the mainstream. And in Poland we are dealing with, you could say, a mass scale of this type of situatio…

Ladies and Gentlemen, When we were convinced that all the rules for the adoption and conclusion of the agreement with the Mercosur countries had been broken and that nothing worse could happen, we hear that there were further irregularities, namely the distribution of the quota, which will be available to South American producers, was placed at the disposal of the South American countries: Brazil …

Mr President, thank you very much. $11 billion. Commissioner, do you know this number? This is, Ladies and Gentlemen, the number for which every year for several years, for three years exactly, Brazil imports from Russia all possible goods. This has increased, ladies and gentlemen, by several thousand percent. Brazil is the largest importer of fertilizers from Russia worldwide. Attention, ladies a…

Cohesion policy (joint debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. There should be a big black coffin in front of us. Today we are discussing budget proposals for the next perspective with cohesion policy being halved, by 50%. This is clinical death, this is catastrophe. And I have no grievances against Commissioner Fitto here, because, horribly, this budget was prepared by a Pole, Piotr Serafin. But, ladie…

Post-2027 Common Agricultural Policy (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner! All the voices that came before me were voices of fear, voices of doubt. Today it turns out that you, as a Commissioner, can be the one who will allow or lead to everything that the previous Commissioner blocked, that is, to the limitation of the common agricultural policy, to the agreement with Mercosur, to the liberalisation of trade with Ukraine. Do you want to go…

Strengthening rural areas in the EU through cohesion policy (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Sustainable development of the whole of Europe and of all countries is an absolute priority.

Ladies and Gentlemen, in the era of such diagnoses, the question should be how muc…

A Vision for Agriculture and Food (debate)

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. A month ago, President von der Leyen declared that the Common Agricultural Policy would be abolished. It will be combined with other programs. She signed an agreement, negotiations with Mercosur, and we have a clear tendency to cut funds for agriculture. And I would expect the Commissioner in charge of agriculture to come out today an…

Yesterday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz admitted in a debate with Friedrich Merz that he was simply breaking the law, that is, sending immigrants back, transporting them from his own country to his neighbours, including Poland. In 2024, it was already several thousand people. This is a clear and obvious violation of the rules, including European ones. This is why I am calling for a response from the Eur…

Cryptocurrencies - need for global standards (debate)

Adjust, overregulate and kill. This is the regulation and this is what the European Union does in many respects. That was the case with farmers, that was the case with farmers. And now we are approaching blockchain and cryptocurrencies in exactly the same way. Soon it will turn out that the whole world is profiting from it, the whole world is developing, and we do not treat it as an opportunity, w…

Challenges facing EU farmers and agricultural workers: improving working conditions, including their mental well-being (debate)

The reason for this is that we have submitted our request, which has not been passed either. So our proposal had a chance to get more support, because we have a bigger group, and he didn't get support either. We wanted to talk about Mercosur here today.…

You can't talk about a deal with Mercosur today, but a debate about mental health is possible. I will tell you why farmers today are concerned and mentally ill. Because there's a deal with Mercosur, 700 pages. The Commission even hides this from farmers. I managed to…
