Speeches

Europe is dying! Our birth rates are at historically low levels! This serves as a pretext for even more migration. Even more migration is destroying our economy, our security and our identity! We are experiencing a demographic catastrophe. Promoting the abortion lobby with millions of dollars is absolutely insane. You have to do the exact opposite. We don't need abortions! We don't need a culture of death. We need a culture of life! There is nothing more beautiful in the world than holding a newborn child in your hands. Whether you're healthy or disabled doesn't matter. Every life has its value! We need to communicate this to people! You obviously see it differently! They promote abortion tourism, abortion campaigns, eugenics. As if such an abortion were the most normal in the world. I tell you quite frankly: That disgusts me! There is no right to abortion! There is only one right to life!

Madam President, The EU understands nothing: Geopolitically irrelevant, economically increasingly weak, demographically catastrophic. But still confident enough to teach the whole world. Want more money for NGOs? Why? To destabilise countries you do not like: Regime change included. Abortion is a human right. Birth rates are falling. They are deploring the global decline of democracy. But in Europe, elections are annulled, politicians are excluded from them, and party bans are mused about. They want to impose gender ideology on the whole world. Zero respect for national sovereignty. Zero respect for other cultures. As a patriot, I respect other cultures. I just don't want them to replace mine. That's what makes diversity. They don't want diversity. You're just talking about it. They want simplicity. You want the whole world to dance to your pipe. This is value imperialism. This is neocolonialism. That's unsympathetic. That's arrogant. This is one reason why Europe is becoming increasingly irrelevant internationally. It's a pity! We do not need an action plan for human rights and democracy. We need an action plan for realpolitik, for remigration and for reindustrialisation.

Mr President! Iran is in crisis. The economy is in free fall. The people are protesting legitimately. Religiosity is also diminishing. People are getting poorer, their faith weaker. This is a problem for an Islamic theocracy. A problem that Tehran has to face, because the protest – initially organic – was later fuelled from the outside. Terror and violence followed. Many dead, like many, we don't know, but too many. Iran deserves better times. But sustainable change must also come from within. Regime changeOperations are not suitable for this purpose. Especially in Iran, we know that. No Islamic revolution ’79 without a coup against Mossadegh ’53. Those who are fascinated by democracy and human rights often only want power and oil. This is how authentic protest is discredited. That's why we should stay out of it. Even Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are warning of an escalation. No friends of Iran, but they know the region better than we do. We should listen to them. Chaos in Iran only leads to civil war and waves of refugees. And they always reach us in the end.

Madam President, Dear Commissioner! Around 400 million Christians worldwide are persecuted. Christians are the most persecuted religious community in the world. This persecution is particularly brutal in Nigeria. Nowhere in the world are more Christians murdered than there, murdered for one reason – because they are Christians. One of them, Pastor Lawan Andimi, was beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam. Or the student Deborah Samuel, first beaten to death, then burned. Churches are systematically destroyed, looted or closed – on average more than three churches a day since the Boko Haram Uprising in 2009. That makes a total of nearly 20,000 churches. The U.S. envoy to the UN, Mike Waltz, is clear. He says this is not accidental violence, this is a genocide, a genocide of Christians. All these facts have been known for a long time. Why are we only discussing this now? Why has there been no outcry so far? Why was it kept silent for so long? Perhaps because Christians are often only second-class victims and perhaps because people are reluctant to talk about the perpetrators out of misunderstood cultural sensitivity. Let's be honest, for many it is the wrong victims and the wrong perpetrators. But we should call the perpetrators by name: Boko Haram, the West African offshoot of ‘Islamic State’, Fulani militias, in short Islamist terrorists. They murder, kidnap, rape, torture. We can no longer accept this. We can no longer look away there. We have to put pressure. Nigeria must protect its Christians. Nigeria must fight Islamist terror. To do this, Nigeria needs to strengthen its institutions – police, judiciary, security apparatus. If not, we can't send a penny to Nigeria.

Madam President, Mrs von der Leyen, you're making Europe a laughing stock. They stand for corruption, censorship, green deindustrialisation and geopolitical insignificance. They are outraged by Trump's peace plan. Where has your peace plan been all these years? Orbán's peace efforts have torpedoed you, now negotiate a little. Why not earlier? Ukraine would have been spared a lot and we too – about three years of recession. What for? For golden oligarch cloisters, for billions to a corrupt leadership in Kyiv fleeing from its own people. And for 19 packages of sanctions that hurt us more than Russia. This is not a peace plan, this is stupidity. Their whole approach is geopolitical kindergarten. Poor relations with the US, bad relations with China, bad relations with Russia, dwindling influence around the world – it is not possible to pursue foreign policy. Yes, we need strategic autonomy, our own strength, our own sovereignty, realism instead of moralism, smart diplomacy and real politicians instead of infantile feminists in pants. You, Mrs von der Leyen, are making Europe weak. They make Europe a geopolitical ghost-driver. Make Europe great again – I like it, but only without you. Please resign!

Madam President, Commissioner! A brutal civil war is raging in Sudan. The SAF, supported by Tehran, is fighting the RSF militias, supported by Abu Dhabi – it is about power and access to gold, weapons and trade routes. The consequences are devastating. Over 150,000 dead, 14 million displaced, 25 million hungry, mass rape and systematic persecution of Christians, the most persecuted group in the country. Sudan is like hell on earth. This is the largest humanitarian catastrophe in the world, but it has been reported very little. This catastrophe also affects us. Many are unaware of how close Sudan is to Europe. The northern border of Sudan is only 1,200 kilometers from Crete. This is roughly the route from Brussels to Vienna. And between Sudan and the EU lies only Libya – Libya, after the NATO bombings and the regime change In 2011 a Failed state: a Failed state as a gateway for mass migration to Europe. Many Sudanese are already on their way to us. We need to understand: Peace in Sudan also ensures stability on our continent. This is in our interest and it is also in the interest of the Sudanese. What can we do? Controlled humanitarian aid: help, but our money must not be in the hands of the warlords land. In addition: No arms exports, no war financing! Instead, we should offer ourselves as a mediator. The Sudanese would thank us.

Madam President, The time change not only annoys many people like me, it is also a health risk. Short-term sleep deprivation leads to more suicides and more heart attacks, especially in the first three days. Further consequences are circulatory problems, inflammatory immune diseases, depression and concentration and attention problems. Numerous studies prove this. Experts talk about social jet lag. In addition, there are economic costs in the billions. No wonder, then, that 84 percent of Europeans reject the time change. It's time to finally get rid of them. The European Parliament has already voted in 2019 for the end of the time change until 2021. We are now in 2025. The time change still exists. It can't be. Yes, there are some technical problems with the elimination of the time change. A patchwork of different time zones in Europe must be prevented. But that must be possible. It would be in the interest of our health. It would be in the interest of our economy. It would be in people's interest.
