Continuing threat to the rule of law, the independence of justice and the non-fulfilment of conditionality for EU funding in Hungary (debate)
Date:
21.11.2023 19:59
| Language: FR
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, there is still a debate on Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, with the same rhetoric, the same imaginary threats to the rule of law, to activist journalists and to LGBT activists. Nothing has ever been demonstrated, as I was able to see when I visited Budapest two years ago as part of an official mission of our Parliament. And there is obviously nothing new. So what, this time, is the grievance of the left and the macronists? Hungary has even agreed to some of the reforms you were asking for, but that still does not suit you. You continue to whine, pretending to act in the name of justice and equality. Your relentless persecutions and shameful maneuvers actually serve only one purpose: punish the Hungarian people, guilty of being attached to their identity and traditions, guilty also of refusing your dictates on multiculturalism, on the unlimited reception of migrants, on gender ideology even in schools. You show your true face. Nothing will ever satisfy you because you are motivated by the ideology and detestation of our true values of civilization. Put an end to this circus and let the Commission finally pay the money it owes to Hungary.
A true geopolitical Europe now (topical debate)
Date:
18.10.2023 11:57
| Language: FR
Madam President, if you want a Europe that has the geopolitics of its civilization and its interests, start by stopping your hollow speeches, your moral lessons to the whole Earth, your innumerable haughty and sufficient resolutions that make us alienate the rest of the world. Stop humiliating us to those who despise or threaten us, because today the list is endless, your servility towards Biden, who serves American interests and does not hesitate to wage a trade war against us, your cowardice towards Erdoğan’s Turkey, which threatens Greece, occupies Cyprus and agitates Islamism on our soil, your hypocrisy and complacency with Azerbaijan, a genuine dictatorship that sells us Russian gas while carrying out the ethnic cleansing of Armenians, our brothers in civilization, your aggressiveness towards countries such as Tunisia or Egypt, while we have a common interest in controlling migratory flows from the South to the North, your timidity towards China and the unfair competition it has led us for years, your financial largesse and your blindness towards an Islamism that assumes the desire to destroy our civilization. Let us finally think of ourselves, in a world that is becoming multipolar and dangerous again. Let us define ourselves otherwise than by false, abstract, disembodied or tearful values, far from what is specifically the greatness of European civilization.
The despicable terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel, Israel’s right to defend itself in line with humanitarian and international law and the humanitarian situation in Gaza (debate)
Date:
18.10.2023 07:49
| Language: FR
Mr President, Hamas jihadists have attacked Israel at horrific heights: massacre of young people in a festival, rape and torture, kidnapping of families and murder of children. However, some in France, and right here in this Chamber, refuse to say that Hamas is a terrorist movement. They must be understood: Hamas supporters are their voters, the millions of unassimilated, unassimilable immigrants who hate Israel just as much as our European civilisation. Ms von der Leyen decided to triple European aid to Gaza, while everyone knew that this funding always ended up, at least in part, in the pockets of Hamas. Open your eyes! Shotgun, knife or truck attacks in Israel, Arras, Brussels, Stockholm or Paris are only the expression of a permanent and global jihad, sometimes barbaric, such as that of Hamas or Daesh, and sometimes in costume, such as that of the Muslim Brotherhood. This jihad, it has a thousand pretexts for its deadly fight, but only one ideology: make war on everything that is not Islam and must be subject to it. We have no choice: We must wage and win the war against Islamism, ban the Muslim Brotherhood, expel Islamists and their families, control speech in mosques and stop paying millions to those who want to destroy our civilisation and kill our peoples.
Situation in Nagorno-Karabakh after Azerbaijan’s attack and the continuing threats against Armenia (debate)
Date:
03.10.2023 15:38
| Language: FR
Madam President, a few days ago, Azerbaijan invaded Armenia, annexing Nagorno-Karabakh and forcing 100,000 Armenian refugees to flee today from theft, rape, looting and death. Azerbaijan, which, as always, is behaving in the armed arms of Turkey. Turkey, which, after the genocide of 1915, tirelessly pursues its desire to build a great Ottoman Muslim empire with the key to the outright eradication of the Armenian nation and people. But what a shame! What a shame to see Mrs von der Leyen rushing to Baku, pacting with dictator Aliyev and claiming that she is a reliable partner. And what hypocrisy to pretend to want to get rid of dependence on Russian gas because Russia has invaded Ukraine, of course, and at the same time, buy gas from Azerbaijan that has just invaded Armenia. It is time to put an end to collusion and connivance with Erdogan and Aliyev and to end trade relations with Azerbaijan. We have a duty of solidarity with Armenia, the first Christian nation in history. We have a historical bond that unites us. The Armenians, the Armenian people need our friendship, our support and our European solidarity.
Interim report on the proposal for a mid-term revision of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 (debate)
Date:
03.10.2023 07:45
| Language: FR
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, like other economic areas in the world, the European Union is affected by inflation and the consequences of the war in Ukraine. But while any household would simply think of cutting spending, the Commission has a magic formula: ask for more and more money from the Member States, i.e. from European taxpayers and in particular from France, since France is one of the net contributors to the EU budget. The Commission is once again showing us that it is spending not counting other people's money, our money. No less than €65 billion, including €13 billion for immigration. If at least this money was used to expel the illegals or to mount a naval operation to prevent the invasion of Lampedusa and our coasts. But we know that it will actually be squandered to make it easier for millions of fake asylum seekers to come. To inflate its budget, the Commission also relies on own resources. Clearly: additional taxes and duties which are, as always of course, passed on to the consumer at the end. We will thus add a European layer to the tax millefeuille that is already robbing the French: percentage on the income of the Member States, levy of part of the VAT, tax on plastic packaging, carbon border mechanism, temporary tax – but in reality will become definitive – on the profits of companies. In short, the European Union works like Macron’s France: more and more taxes, more and more Brussels centralism... (The President withdrew the floor to the speaker)
EU-Tunisia Agreement - aspects related to external migration policy (debate)
Date:
12.09.2023 08:42
| Language: FR
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the migration agreement between the European Union and Tunisia is promising, and President Saïed deserves our support. The Maghreb countries are at the forefront of immigration, which is now precipitating an assault on Europe. They too suffer from the poverty and crime brought on by the ever-increasing number of migrants. More than 100 000 in Italy alone since the beginning of the year, several million people have come all over Europe since the 2015 crisis. As such, the Commission's refusal to work with Libya, where migrants and smugglers' mafias are concentrated, sometimes aided by NGOs that make sea taxis, is absolutely culpable. Let us help the Maghreb countries to defend their borders because they also protect ours. However, let us not forget that they are sometimes countries of departure themselves. We will have to make sure that these countries control their own immigration and enforce, if necessary, with sanction clauses. Moreover, the systematic expulsion of illegal migrants who are false asylum seekers remains the best solution to ensure control of our borders. Migrants should be discouraged from coming by showing them that they will not be able to stay. We are just at the beginning of an absolutely spectacular mass immigration to Europe. Let us now give ourselves the means, all the means, to prevent Europe from becoming Africa.
Renewable Energy Directive (debate)
Date:
11.09.2023 17:46
| Language: FR
Mr President, last year, and for the first time in 40 years, the French wondered whether they could heat up in winter. This was the consequence of Emmanuel Macron’s ideological choice to sacrifice nuclear power and close the Fessenheim power plant. Giving up clean, inexpensive and efficient energy in favour of intermittent, expensive energy, which makes us dependent on China and requires the activation of coal-fired power plants. Germany, the biggest polluter in Europe, knows something about this. In 2021, it emitted eight times more CO2 than France for electricity 50% more expensive. With this text, you pursue this hypocritical and suicidal logic. You want to subsidise solar and wind without giving anything to nuclear power. Macron, despite what he claims today, was too cowardly to engage in a real standoff and defend our interests. Only one choice is needed: to ensure that our people have abundant, low-cost, decarbonised energy to support our industry, to support the purchasing power of households and to secure the future of our children. We need an ambitious plan to build new generation nuclear power plants across Europe, along the lines of the Messmer plan that gave France its energy sovereignty a few decades ago.
Tax the rich (topical debate)
Date:
12.07.2023 12:26
| Language: FR
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, endless taxation at ever heavier rates is the only policy the left seems capable of, for which wealth starts from the middle class. Overtaxing does not reduce inequality, but places an unreasonable burden on those who pay taxes without making those who do not pay wealthier. Moreover, this does not increase the State’s resources either. The stifling taxation pushes those who can to leave and invest elsewhere. It crushes those who remain to the point that they wonder if working hard is really worth it. Because ease rarely falls from the sky. It is the fruit of hard work, foresight and intelligent choices. The over-taxation of certain social categories is becoming more and more a racket to compensate in reality for the financial waste of the State and to pay the undue allowances of those, often also from a migrant background, who refuse to work or do not have the prospect of working. This is particularly true of inheritance tax. While throughout one’s life, one has paid endlessly, is subject to innumerable taxes and spared the best of his ability, the State at the time of death retaxes heavily, shamefully, this inheritance intended for the heirs. This is a real spoliation. Instead of taxing more and more, let's reduce spending and waste. Whether the State concentrates on its sovereign tasks, whether it does not assume them or not.
The need for EU action on search and rescue in the Mediterranean (debate)
Date:
12.07.2023 09:21
| Language: FR
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, 8.4 million migrants have applied for asylum in the European Union since 2014. This is almost the equivalent of Austria as a whole. And they will continue to come by the millions as long as you continue to welcome them and want to distribute them. It is your fault that some people die at sea, taking all the risks, motivated by your laxity, your blindness, your misguided humanitarianism. You want to organise their arrival, set up sea taxis, play into the hands of the mafias and human traffickers who are enriched by this illegal and abject trade. They're not refugees. They do not flee persecution. They don't run from war. They are not eligible for asylum. They come to benefit from our allowances, our unlimited generosity. They bring with them in exchange poverty always, crime often, and sometimes even terrorism. It will be necessary to choose: either your morality or our identity. The reception of millions of young men who will never assimilate, as shown by the ethnic riots that have ravaged France in recent days, or the safety of our peoples and our children. Like all the defenders of our civilisation who reject your crazy politics, I have made my choice. You have made your own and history will judge you.
Make Europe the place to invest (debate)
Date:
14.06.2023 14:21
| Language: FR
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in order to attract investment to Europe, it is necessary to stop being the most imposed, the most regulated and, at the same time, the least protected economic area in the world. We must not only attract foreign capital, we must first ensure that European economic actors invest in our continent instead of fleeing it. So stop regulation, the endless stacking of standards that the rest of the world does not meet at all. Put an end to the administrative and tax overbidding, which makes entrepreneurs live a hell and often pushes for relocation. Protect our market from unfair competition, which is a direct consequence of free trade agreements. Stop the punitive pseudo-ecology, whose objectives are often unattainable, and which totally asphyxiates our economy. Finally, boosting investment in Europe requires abundant and affordable energy, i.e. making the assumed choice of nuclear power. But these measures to reindustrialise and to ensure our prosperity and therefore our sovereignty are unfortunately unacceptable for a good part of this House, from the real left to the false right. Indeed, they have only one obsession: control everything, regulate everything, tax everything and ultimately ruin everything.
This is Europe - Debate with the President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides (debate)
Date:
13.06.2023 09:58
| Language: FR
Mr President, it has been fifty years since Turkey invaded Cyprus. After the conquest by brutality came that, more durable, by demography. Ankara has sent tens of thousands of Turks to populate the northern half of the island, administered by a puppet government, which is not recognised by anyone. This does not prevent Sultan Erdoğan from constantly provoking, regularly calling for the partition of Cyprus into two states. It is the same Erdoğan who multiplies illegal drilling in Cypriot territorial waters, and who continues to violate Greek airspace. Erdoğan, widely re-elected two weeks ago, close to the Muslim Brotherhood, which has re-Islamized its population and supports Islamists on our soil, has converted the Hagia Sophia Basilica into a mosque. He urges the Turks in Europe to "make five children to accelerate the great replacement of our continent". Erdoğan extorts billions of euros from us and pushes hundreds of thousands of migrants towards the Greek border and islands. Mr President, because of all these threats and insults, because of the suffering of your people and the theft of your land, it is time to put a definitive, irreversible end to the process of Turkey’s accession to the European Union.
Externalising asylum applications and making funding to third countries conditional on the implementation of return agreements (topical debate)
Date:
10.05.2023 12:17
| Language: FR
Madam President, the migratory chaos has been uninterrupted since 2015. Europe and Italy on the frontline are now at risk of submersion. Courageously, Giorgia Meloni is lucid and faces, while only a few months ago Emmanuel Macron was rushing to welcome the Ocean Viking and its illegal immigrants to Toulon. Gérald Darmanin, who dares to do anything, now claims to teach Italy a lesson when he allows himself to be humiliated by a micro-country like the Comoros. Some here see immigration as inevitable or even an opportunity. But the vast majority of the 450 million Europeans demand that their identity and security are finally defended. Delaying migration flows and reversing the trend is possible. This requires real political will and, finally, firmness. We know the solutions: setting up and funding centres outside Europe for asylum seekers, dismantling smugglers’ mafias and monitoring NGOs, systematically expelling all illegal immigrants without allowing them to be regularised and forcing their country of origin to recover them. Some will of course say that these countries will never accept, but we can force them to do so diplomatically and economically. Let us impose our conditions instead of always submitting to theirs. Europe as a whole will have to stand firm if it is to survive.
The need for a coherent strategy for EU-China Relations (debate)
Date:
18.04.2023 08:56
| Language: FR
Mr President, what a failure, what a humiliation for Emmanuel Macron, who managed the tour de force to get nothing from Beijing and, at the same time, to offend our closest allies. By going to China to speak on behalf of Europe, without a Council mandate, speaking too much, as usual, asserting positions contrary to those of several of our friends and allies, Emmanuel Macron once again lowered France and weakened the European cartel. This is all the more shameful as there was no political courage there. He went to tell the Chinese exactly what they wanted to hear. Macron claimed not to be Washington's follower: He was finally submissive to Beijing. And yet, if Europeans have a common interest in China, it is to treat it for what it is: a trading partner, of course, but not always loyal – far from it – and, above all, a systemic rival, on whom, of course, our dependence must be limited. China and the United States protect their interests. We too, French and Europeans, have some in this region of the globe. It is time to stop naivety and weakness in the face of those who abuse it, who are so happy and beneficiaries of our docility.
2022 Rule of Law Report - The rule of law situation in the European Union - Rule of law in Greece - Rule of law in Spain - Rule of law in Malta (debate)
Date:
30.03.2023 08:58
| Language: FR
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as you do every year, you bring us the endless litany of your grievances against democratically elected governments. Poland and Hungary are once again your targets, always in the name of a rule of law with variable geometry. Your permanent simagrées do not actually deceive anyone. These manoeuvres and big words have only one purpose: Punish those who don't think like you. These countries have the wrong, in your eyes anyway, to protect their people and their culture. They are wrong not to submit to your political and moral dictates. They have the wrong to reject your forced diversity, your crazy "immigrationism," your incessant LGBT propaganda, your authoritarian bureaucratic centralism, which are destroying our nations and civilization. You want to impose your leftist delusions on free peoples, drag them into impoverishment, weakening and decadence. Election after election, people wake up. What will be your next targets? Italy? Sweden? Maybe Spain? So stop giving moral lessons, as corruption splatters your ranks, while the Commission appears under influence, including from Islamist countries or factions. Finally, trust democracy and let the people decide for themselves.
Deaths at sea: a common EU response to save lives and action to ensure safe and legal pathways (debate)
Date:
15.03.2023 15:45
| Language: FR
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as the United Kingdom finally announces firm measures to combat illegal immigration, while Italy anticipates a real invasion and Europe should do everything to protect its borders, while NGOs are complicit in human trafficking, while your procrastination, laxity and cowardice are responsible for the deaths at sea, you want to go even further, even further. The same causes producing the same effects, the same tearful words of openness and welcome will obviously push more and more migrants to leave and sometimes die at sea. If you had a little humanity, true humanity, you would obviously deter them from leaving. So stop showing them that there would be a European Eldorado that does not exist. Stop encouraging them to come to Europe at the risk of their lives. You push them into the clutches of the smugglers’ mafias, who commit the worst atrocities on them. You organize their uprooting, away from their family and their land. True humanity is, of course, the firmness of migration. Your laxity is shameful and guilty.
This is Europe - Debate with the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nausėda (debate)
Date:
14.03.2023 10:34
| Language: FR
Madam President, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, last Friday in Washington, Ursula von der Leyen submitted to Joe Biden. Without a mandate from the Council, the President of the European Commission announced our full alignment with US interests. She sacrificed our auto industry and promised an agreement on rare earth minerals. It is thus part, without any control, of a dangerous US strategy of tensions with China. Of course, we are committed to our historic friendship with the United States and, of course, with NATO as a defensive alliance. But Europe’s vital, commercial and geopolitical interests are obviously not indistinguishable from those of Washington. The war on our borders in Ukraine, the food and energy security of our countries, our economic competitiveness must remain our only concerns. Mrs von der Leyen seems to be pursuing a personal agenda. She is promising to become NATO Secretary General in 2024. But in a world that is more uncertain than ever, Europe and its nations must act decisively to return to the path of power that alone can guarantee independence. The European Council must therefore urgently take back its hand, put Ursula von der Leyen in her place and defend the interests of our continent first.
A Green Deal Industrial Plan for the Net-Zero Age (continuation of debate)
Date:
15.02.2023 14:33
| Language: FR
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for years we have allowed the whole world to benefit from our subsidies in the name of combating global warming. Foreign companies have enriched themselves with our money. Today, the US supports its electric car industry, exclusively subsidises US companies and therefore discards ours. It is an act of trade war. Et vous découvrez, avec une candeur stupéfiante, que tous les pays du monde défendent d’abord leurs intérêts! China is massively subsidising its economy – and has been cheating for decades. The United States protects itself, has no complexities, and – it must be said – it is absolutely right. So, let's stop begging Joe Biden for a few more gestures. We must respond and finally stop being the best students of globalised free trade. Facilitating State aid by subsidising our economy is a first step, but obviously much more needs to be done: wherever possible, let us put in place a genuine local, national and European preference in public procurement. Let's encourage tax breaks to improve our competitiveness. Finally, let us stop signing free trade agreements with the whole world. It killed our industry yesterday, it will kill our agriculture tomorrow. It is time for the European Union to protect us instead of organising our collective impotence.
Preparation of the Special European Council meeting of February, in particular the need to develop sustainable solutions in the area of asylum and migration (debate)
Date:
01.02.2023 15:27
| Language: FR
Dear colleague, you only consider official migrants. In fact, in a country like France alone, we have 400 000 legal entries per year, when we count residence permits, plus unaccompanied minors, plus asylum seekers, the vast majority of whom do not meet the criteria for obtaining the right to asylum. And we have this phenomenon in the 27 countries of the European Union, which obviously leads to millions and millions of migrants arriving, either legally or illegally, but with all of them ultimately remaining, because very few are deported, even when they have entered or remain illegally or are denied the right to asylum. So today we are facing a real flood. We must put an end to this submergence. It is not a service to these populations, who come mainly from sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb, to welcome them. They are uprooted, they prevent the development of these countries. Genuinely humane, fair and responsible politics means doing everything possible to ensure that they remain in their country of origin, instead of causing major disturbances, both in terms of identity and security, economic and social issues in Europe.
Preparation of the Special European Council meeting of February, in particular the need to develop sustainable solutions in the area of asylum and migration (debate)
Date:
01.02.2023 15:24
| Language: FR
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, by 2050 Africans will be 2.5 billion and 52% of their youth have the ambition to come to Europe. More than 7 million have applied for asylum since 2014, the equivalent of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France or Bulgaria as a whole. Each manifestation of weakness pushes them to try their luck, to leave their country and their roots to throw themselves into the clutches of the smugglers' mafias, and, for some, to die at sea. They know that, if they come to us, you will welcome them, in the name of your good feelings, but in defiance of the will of our peoples. You are thus the artisans of the destruction of our civilization. By welcoming Africa and the Middle East, we are not helping them, we are only becoming Africa and the Middle East ourselves. The only sustainable and humane solution is to deter them from leaving, prevent them from entering and systematically deport them if they arrive. We must, of course, finance the protections erected, for example by Greece, Hungary and Bulgaria at our external borders. We must punish the countries of departure that do not cooperate and promote the development of those who control their flow, without infantilizing them or imposing our European schemes on them. And, instead of distributing migrants, we must above all send them home. (The speaker agreed to reply to a blue card intervention)
Presentation of the programme of activities of the Swedish Presidency (debate)
Date:
17.01.2023 09:51
| Language: FR
Madam President, Prime Minister, the right is back in power in Sweden and already the Europeans are the beneficiaries. Stockholm made this clear very quickly: its presidency of the European Union will not be that of the distribution of migrants. After decades of unrestricted openness and reception, to the point that one fifth of the country’s population was born abroad, it is now clear: the explosion in the number of robberies, rapes and homicides, not to mention attacks on grenade stations. The experience of multiculturalism and mass immigration, even in a country that is the most generous in the world, is a stark failure that has turned some cities in Scandinavian paradise into true Afghan suburbs. Restoring order in one’s own country starts by not allowing the additional arrival of migrants to take hold. Prime Minister, here are some ideas to develop during your presidency of the European Union. Instead of taking in illegal immigrants, expel them. Instead of disarming Frontex, give it a real mission and real means to protect our borders. Instead of applauding NGOs complicit in human traffickers, pointing fingers at them and punishing them. Sweden is finally returning to reason. Let us hope that Brussels will one day follow its example.
This is Europe - Debate with the Prime Minister of Slovenia, Robert Golob (debate)
Date:
13.12.2022 11:03
| Language: FR
Madam President, Prime Minister, some of our colleagues are not with us this morning because they are sleeping in prison. Officials and, above all, several MEPs are suspected of corruption and of having received money from Qatar to influence EU policy. All come from the ranks of the moral left. All are actors or relays of these NGOs that claim to dictate the good and the just to the legitimately elected peoples and governments. As a Member of the European Parliament for eight years, I have had their lessons, session after session, report after report. I have seen them adorn themselves with all the virtues, pose as great defenders of human rights, and so we learn that those who have claimed to hunt down homophobes across Europe have received bags of banknotes from the most homophobic state in the world. Yes, this hypocrisy, this duplicity could make us smile, but this case of corruption makes us wonder: How many interventions were led by Qatari money? How many texts voted on here in this Chamber, just last month, by all the elected representatives of the Socialist Group, served the interests of this Islamist country? When a European campaign promotes the veil, is it an initiative of Brussels or Doha? Let us put an end to naivety and weakness in the face of the Islamic offensive in Europe. Let us affirm our values of civilization in the face of this high treason.
The need for a European solution on asylum and migration including search and rescue (debate)
Date:
23.11.2022 08:58
| Language: FR
Mr President, the Ocean Viking is made up of 234 illegal immigrants, only 23 of whom are women, staying in a hotel at the expense of the French. 123 have already been denied asylum, but almost all are now at liberty because the French government is unable to deport them. 26 of the 44 so-called unaccompanied minors, who are mostly neither, also fainted in the wild. And now, how many of them are going to commit crimes or crimes in the country that generously welcomed them? You will tell me that 234 is a drop of water. Yes, but one drop in addition to the 6,400,000 migrants who have come to Europe since 2014. More than Denmark as a whole. Not to mention those who smuggled in. Macron has not only betrayed France, he has betrayed all of Europe. It has become the relay of NGOs, themselves being the relay, sometimes the accomplices, of human traffickers. While Italy and Malta hold on, Macron gives a terrible signal: Europe is still giving in and opening up to the migratory invasion. There is only one way to stop the flow and therefore drowning, this is the Australian method. Pressure the countries of departure, push back migrants, force African ports to respect the law of the sea, give themselves the means to expel all illegal immigrants, wage war against smugglers’ mafias and punish complicit NGOs. It is in this way, collectively, through real and committed political will, that we will be able to meet this challenge of civilisation.
Racial justice, non-discrimination and anti-racism in the EU (debate)
Date:
10.11.2022 08:41
| Language: FR
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, for decades now the so-called anti-racism has become a true religion, designed to make Europeans feel guilty and accept what no other people accept anywhere on the planet, that is to say massive, anarchic immigration, whose flows are increasing and against which it is now forbidden to speak out. We are asked to push ourselves and make room for newcomers, asked to let our history be insulted, asked to let our memory be erased, asked to let our peoples be replaced. And meanwhile, who is benefiting from the lack of attention of judges, including after dozens of arrests by the police? Who is entitled to fourteen second chances? Who is always excused by the media and the left? Who benefits from positive discrimination in hiring? Who is entitled to racial quotas on television or in cinema? It is, of course, these minorities that you talk about so much. While some ethnic, sexual or religious minorities are entitled to all attention, while their claims, including those most incompatible with the public interest, are promoted and valued, there is one category that is not entitled to anything, apart from the right to be blamed, to self-flag: it is the European, white, Christian and heterosexual man.
Presentation of the Court of Auditors' annual report 2021 (debate)
Date:
19.10.2022 13:16
| Language: FR
Madam President, on the annual budget, it is time to have a discussion that the Commission is systematically trying to avoid. The budget of the European Union, the money of Europeans, that is to say our money, is now being used to finance Islamism. At least €36 million paid between 2014 and 2019 to networks linked to the Muslim Brotherhood or Hamas or supporting jihadist groups. More than €1 million for so-called counter-terrorism programmes, involving NGOs founded by Islamist Abu Bakr Rieger, who claims to want to establish a global caliphate. How much for campaigns displaying even veiled little girls? It is the same Islamism, the same deadly ideology, which is gradually gangrene to our streets, our administrations and our schools. The same Islamism that kills, bloody and regularly bereaved Europe. Every euro paid by the Commission to associations linked to the Islamist movement is a disgrace, a real infamy. There is an urgent need for a full audit of grants paid in the name of an alleged fight against racism or Islamophobia. And when the scale of the scandal becomes clear, you will have to answer to our people.
Existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded (debate)
Date:
14.09.2022 12:56
| Language: FR
Madam President, once again you condemn Hungary. Why? Because it does not submit to your moral injunctions, to the so-called values that you constantly have in your mouth. Diversity, openness, inclusivity, LGBT propaganda, deconstruction of our history... All these harmful concepts, Viktor Orbán's Hungary rejects them and she is right. She is proud of her history and identity. She protects her children from the delusions of wokism and gender ideology in school, she defends her borders, her people and thus our European civilisation. Yes, the Hungarians want to remain themselves and you are basically blaming them for that. You want to force them to change, to adhere to your individualistic project that is informed, liquid, with no past or future, you will not succeed. Throughout its history, the Hungarian people have faced far greater threats than you pose to them today. Hungarians will survive you, European civilization will survive you. People everywhere in Europe, from Stockholm to Rome, are waking up. Viktor Orbán's Hungary shows them the way.
