Mr President, 2019: Abidjan; 2022: Brussels; 2025: Angola. At each summit, the European Union gives us a new agreement to renew its relationship with the African continent. And it pretends not to see that African States do not need our help, but a balanced cooperation between sovereign peoples, respectful of their specificities, their identity and their interests. On immigration, on food sovereignty, on protecting the oceans and biodiversity, we have so much to do together. As you know, we are fighting here in Brussels for respect for the sovereignty and independence of France and its people. That is why we also defend the independence and sovereignty of the African peoples. For us, sovereignists and patriots, the defense of the right of peoples to self-determination applies to all peoples.

Madam President, yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing the spread of mosquitoes and ticks, which is leading to the spread of infectious diseases in our country today. However, this spread is due as much to climate change as to the intensification of trade and human flows organised by the globalist system and, let us not forget, by the European Union. Putting proliferation solely on the back of climate change only serves to distract from the real problem: the unrestricted movement of men and goods. So we cannot just deal with the consequences without addressing the causes of the problem. Let's look at our overseas territories. Global warming there has not caused epidemics, malaria or otherwise. This is poverty; This is good – as you said, Madam – for example, the problem of waste water and our refusal to pursue a serious policy of developing our territories that makes them so vulnerable. The real cure for infectious diseases transmitted by these parasitic insects is not the decline advocated by ecofanatics; it is economic growth, material prosperity and research, as we saw in Montpellier, where a researcher, by sterilising male tiger mosquitoes, managed to eradicate this epidemic. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we need to work on.

Mr President, Brussels technocracy is killing. By focusing on our peasant world, it has deprived us of the means to fight fires effectively and preventively. In 1981, we had 13 million sheep clearing our territories free of charge 12 hours a day and 365 days a year. Today, we have 6 million. We lost 7 million brushmen who, preemptively, maintained our territories and our risk areas. From 65,000 breeders, we have grown to 35,000. We lost 30,000 permanent, non-stop lookouts on the ground. Not to mention the special status of the volunteer firefighters that the European Union is challenging and the financial means it is depriving us of to renew our Canadairs fleet. Agricultural abandonment, rural desertification, budgetary austerity, disconnection from reality – Brussels technocracy is killing.

Mr President, yes, the peace agreement negotiated in Washington between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo under the aegis of the United States is tragic in more ways than one. First, because he is twisting his arm in Congo by committing it to endorsing the suffering of its people and supporting the Rwandan dictator Kagame. Secondly, because it infers the European Union from the four wills of the United States, putting us out of the game in a region that is crucial to our strategic interests. Why? How? Because after 30 years of Rwandan aggression and abuse and 6 million Congolese deaths, the European Union has looked elsewhere, hiding behind two-speed indignation and supporting an aggressive and invasive power vis-à-vis its neighbour – a situation that it is so quick to denounce elsewhere. So, from this agreement and these 30 years of resignation, it will simply be remembered that nothing is settled. In other words: Everything remains to be done.

Madam President, this pact for the oceans is a direct attack on our European fishing industry, which the Commission has decided to sacrifice to the interests of free trade and globalisation. First, it tries to arrogate to itself power over all the territorial waters of the Member States. Secondly, no concrete measures are proposed against illegal fishing or against the privatisation of our maritime areas by wind turbines. Thirdly, it is based on NGOs that are engaged in a real campaign of disinformation towards our artisanal fishermen, who are not the problem but the beginning of the solution. Finally, the defence and preservation of our oceans requires cooperation between free and sovereign nations. In Nice, at the United Nations Ocean Conference, an Oceanian ambassador called on us, called on you, Mr. Kadis: You tell us to save the oceans, we tell you to respect us and save our way of life and our identity.

Madam President, we could consider that this report on strengthening rural areas in the European Union through cohesion policy contains good measures. That's right. The problem is that the European Commission degrades and destroys everything it touches. Whether on land, in our countryside, at sea, vis-à-vis our peasants, our fishermen or rurality as a whole, they are always the same mistakes, the same obsessions and the same contempt: prohibition to move, to work, to fish, to produce, to cultivate, to rent, to sell. What is unforgivable is that it always insists on the same ones and that it systematically imposes the most precarious fines and contributions. Under the pretext of making these populations happy in spite of themselves, the globalist and eco-fanatic ideology of Brussels standardizes everything, destroys our sovereignty, our traditions and our identity. It is obvious that the European Union does not like the people. She doesn't like her story, she doesn't like her civilization. So if the European Commission wants to revive our campaigns, instead of imposing and strengthening its model that has still led us to where we are, let it respect our campaigns, its inhabitants, and leave the place, let us live here, at home, in complete freedom.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in ten years food prices in France have risen by 34%, electricity by 150% and diesel by 132%. These constrained expenses, which particularly affect the most modest families, are in line with the policy imposed by Brussels, even though the average salary of the French has not followed. This debate should not be entitled "High retail prices of food products and consequences for European consumers", but "Consequences of European policy for 30 years on food prices and families in need". Let me say one more thing: behind the label "consumers" - uprooted, globalised, globalised - there are men, women and families in need, here at home. For them to consume, they would have to have a remunerative job. For them to have a gainful job, it would be necessary to allow entrepreneurs to create wealth, to create jobs here, at home. Allow, protect, produce, that is, the opposite of your policy for 30 years.

Mr President, the European Ocean Pact is exactly following the technocratic drift that is plaguing our institutions and the European Union. It is not a question here of organising or imagining cooperation between nations that takes into account the needs and specificities of each. No. The Commission has chosen to sclerose, regulate and standardise everything – but for what purpose? The Commission thus supports the disinformation and slanderous denunciation campaigns of NGOs such as BLOOM, whose sole purpose is to destroy our fisheries sector for the benefit of interests that remain to be known, moreover. In fact, the Commission in Brussels, the NGO BLOOM around the world, the submission of our governments – as we see today, with the political process in France to eliminate Marine Le Pen, the favourite candidate of the French – all have as their ultimate goal to sacrifice our peoples and our nations, to sacrifice our fishermen, to eliminate political opponents. Defending and protecting our peoples, nations and oceans: This is our fight!

Mr President, feeding humanity is the major challenge of the 21st century. That is why we must not only rethink, but support the production model. The sea is an integral part of this challenge, with a powerful, sustainable fishing industry associated with sustainable aquaculture. For this, we must create all the conditions to promote synergy between the nurturers of the sea and the nurturers of the earth. Like algoculture, whose development already offers decisive advances in the field of sustainable and recycled fertilizers for our agriculture, our independence from chemical inputs, much of which comes from Russia, would thus be ensured. While the free trade agreements you sign and the obsession with greening imposed by Brussels, normative and punitive, simply contribute to weakening our food sovereignty, by focusing on our farmers and fishermen. Feeding humanity will be the major challenge of the 21st century. It is with them, not against them, that we will rise to this challenge.

Madam President, Sweden's bloody gang war seems to be moving the European Union today. What surprises the political class, in fact, is that Sweden is a prosperous country, with one of the lowest crime rates in the world. But it was the angelism of the Swedes that led them to a completely crazy migration policy, which exploded organized crime. So, we could consider this as a warning, as in Brussels, Dijon, Berlin, Italy, Marseille, Seine-Saint-Denis, Montpellier: The list is long. The reaction time too, by the way. Because, faced with this, our rulers, under the rule of the European Union, took the side of criminals and delinquents. Sclerosed by political correctness, petrified by the European courts, they decided to look elsewhere. It is the misuse of the rule of law by the European Union that has undermined our sovereignty in our territories, our courts, our borders, our prisons, our daily lives. It is the dealers and the bigots who today impose their laws with Kalashnikovs on our streets and even in front of our schools. So yes, it's time to end it. It is time to finally defend the safety of our compatriots and their interests, before those of criminals, illegal immigrants, starting with supporting our police forces.

Mr President, 30 000 people. 30,000 people died trying to cross the Mediterranean, chasing a fictional eldorado, chasing an eldorado you sold them. These tragic deaths are not to be blamed on the fight against illegal immigration, but on your borderless ideology, the suction pumps you have put in place and your leniency towards the mafia networks of smugglers. We see in Mayotte, on our soil, today, the result of this laissez-faire policy. So it is true, building infrastructure to stop this migratory pressure, which weighs on our public accounts, our economy and the security of our compatriots, will not be enough without a legal arsenal and political will. For this, we must first have the courage to say: Know that if you enter our territory illegally, it will be expulsion and return.

Mr President, desertification is a major threat, but there is one that is not talked about enough, and that is the desertification of our seabed. Deploring the acidification of our oceans, warming waters or rising sea levels is not enough. We must also denounce the causes of this disaster. In France, for example, in Morbihan, they are found in the sterilizing construction of offshore wind farms or in the ravages of non-frontierist factory boats. Two harmful activities, two activities however encouraged by the European Union, which testify to the general hypocrisy, even the pseudo-ecological imposture on the preservation and sustainability of our ecosystems. For fifteen years, we have seen the alarming degradation of our oceans, which threatens our maritime wealth, the trades that depend on it, first and foremost our fishermen, and our food resources. This fragile balance, aggravated by land pollution pouring into our seas, also has an impact on our climates and on land desertification. The saving rain that our farmers and drought-affected populations expect, this saving rain does not fall from the sky, it comes from our oceans. Then all these pious wishes and other declarations of intent will not solve anything if we do not question the globalist ecosystem that you have set up, based on a deregulated free trade to the detriment of a reasoned and national localism.

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, it is good that the negotiations on an international treaty setting binding targets on plastic pollution are now about to be concluded. All this would seem to go in the right direction. However, will this text actually have an impact in the end? Because, if everyone seems to have understood the consequences of this disaster, is everyone really and sincerely ready to approach the problem from the bottom up, without cleavage? Yes, 80% of plastic pollution in the marine environment comes from South Asian countries and China, but can we finally say that this is also the responsibility of Western countries? Because, after all, who promoted globalism? Who relocated our factories to these countries? Sacrificing our jobs and destroying our economy? It is the European Union. By relying on abusive regulations, the European Union has simply destroyed our industry, our agriculture, our fisheries and shifted pollution elsewhere. Because, finally, who wanted to use these countries as open dumps? The European Union. Between 2004 and 2024, exports of waste from the Union to third countries increased by 72 %. Waste exports! So some here can split big statements about the climate emergency, biodiversity, ecological disaster, but the reality is there. It's you. It is you, blissful Europeanists, who have promoted this ultraliberal model that puts us in this calamitous situation. When the wise man points to the moon, the fool looks at the finger. It's a Chinese proverb. We won't be useful idiots. So if this meager initiative is still to be taken, let us not forget that it is not only a question of binding legal objectives, which have little chance, in the end, of prospering until you have changed paradigm. We must change this nomadic and deadly policy that the peoples of Europe have massively rejected recently. The key to the problem is simple, it is localism, it is the re-rooting, it is the relocation of our productions, it is the respect of the nations of the South, it is the respect of all nations, it is the respect of the peoples.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Commission, by means of a delegated act, has prohibited fishing in the Bay of Biscay for our fishermen on the pretext of protecting cetaceans. She based this decision on a report by the Pelagis Observatory, which established this data by simply doing 3% of necropsies. It is in the light of these questionable data that the Commission has chosen to put our fishermen out of work: more than 100 million losses, shortages in auctions and the suffocation of maritime cooperatives that constitute the economic lung of our coastal territories. Our fishermen do not have to be the variable of adjustment of the ideological decisions and whims of the Commission. Indeed, between free trade agreements, bans on working for our fishermen and the explosion of standards, the Commission is doing nothing but destroying our food sovereignty. That is why, ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to vote on Wednesday in favour of the motion for a resolution objecting to this delegated act, in the interests of fisheries and in the interests of our food sovereignty.

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the protection of our oceans is a crucial economic, environmental and geopolitical issue, particularly for France, which has the second largest maritime domain in the world. But the proliferation of marine protected areas does not guarantee their integrity. Financial fishing is globalized and prosperous, without respect for the resource, from Mayotte to our coasts, in all legality. Illegal fishing is ravaging our maritime territories, from New Caledonia to Guyana, with impunity. Beyond these declarations of good intentions and other unilateral bans, we need a real ocean protection strategy to support the defence of our national food sovereignty and to upgrade our maritime domain and the blue economy.
