A unified EU response to unjustified US trade measures and global trade opportunities for the EU (debate)
Date:
06.05.2025 07:50
| Language: ES
Mr President, this is not about tariffs or trade barriers. This is about who gets put on the dead end of the European economy. It is not true that we live in an international free trade regime that is in danger. Tariffs, import quotas and regulatory barriers are the general rule. China raised pork tariffs a few months ago and you didn't say anything. It is Brussels that has been raising barriers and burdens against our producers for decades in the name of Pachamama. We compete with our hands tied while China, Turkey and Morocco strike with both fists. And you, socialists and people, are responsible. They deny water to Almeria or Murcia, but finance water works in Morocco. You expropriate hundreds of thousands of olive trees in Spain to put solar panels, you prohibit the industry from selling cars with combustion engines in 2035. You set up a speculative CO emission rights business2 It stifles our industries for climate reasons and a border adjustment mechanism that is a non-tariff barrier. You get on boards of directors under tables to look at the sex of managers. You only think about raising taxes to pay for the party of the elites and have spent our money on Chinese renewables. And in Spain we no longer have light. For you, free trade is surrendering to China. For you, free trade are those agreements with countries that do not meet the standards that are demanded of ours. Of course we reject any tariffs on our producers, but first and foremost we reject their 2030 Agenda, their Green Deal and their hypocrisy of climate fanatics.
Recent legislative changes in Hungary and their impact on fundamental rights (debate)
Date:
02.04.2025 15:18
| Language: ES
Madam President, we must hire a psychiatrist to cure them of their demophobia and their hungarophobia. Another plenary session in Strasbourg, another debate on Hungary, but always with the intention of hiding the reality. The reality is that a homosexual is more afraid and more at risk of being assaulted on any street in Barcelona, Paris, Brussels or Berlin than in Budapest. The reality is that the Berlin police chief a few months ago stated in an interview: There are areas of Berlin where I would recommend to those who wear a kippah or are openly gay to take extreme precautions. The reality is that a group of seventeen Turkish, Syrian and Afghan immigrants are being investigated for sexually abusing a twelve-year-old girl for months. Not a debate. You guys, shut up. The reality is that money is given here to countries where homosexuality is punishable by death, such as Mauritania. The reality is that European money promotes the implementation, in Europe, of legal codes that impose the total submission of women to men. And you guys love that. So less speeches and more going to the psychiatrist.
Topical debate (Rule 169) - Social Europe: making life affordable, protecting jobs, wages and health for all
Date:
02.04.2025 12:04
| Language: ES
Mr President, they look like shamans rather than politicians invoking social Europe. They have been running and talking about social Europe for decades and things are getting worse every day. Most of you no longer know what Europe or social means. There is no social Europe without families, without freedom, without property, without nation. There is no social Europe if you commit your life to paying for a flat, because the politician on duty decided forty years ago that building flats is made of fachas. There is no social Europe if you get free flats by raiding properties or provoking riots, like a magnet last week in Girona. There is no social Europe if housing, social bonds or public health go in preference to those who have entered your country illegally. There is no social Europe if we give the money to any NGO or foreign state. There is no social Europe if the figure of the entrepreneur who assumes risk and faces uncertainty is not dignified, creating wealth and employment by lowering taxes and eliminating restrictions. There is no social Europe if the worker loses his job because of the Green Deal, high taxes or unfair competition from abroad. There is no social Europe if women walk in fear on the streets. There is no social Europe if we allow civil or religious messages and speeches that promote or justify violence against women. There is no social Europe if a man who perceives himself differently can enter private spaces reserved for women, compete with them in sport or deprive them of a job. So, less talk, more Europe and more community.
Presentation of the New European Internal Security Strategy (debate)
Date:
01.04.2025 13:38
| Language: ES
Mr President, Mr Commissioner, Sabar, Franklin, Omar, Nassim, Abdelkader, Salah, Younes, Karim. It is the list of names of those arrested one night in Barcelona, my city. Some politician in Spain has given the order to the Police to denounce the national spokesman of VOX for showing this reality in a press conference. The streets of Europe are not safe. The mafias that traffic in human beings flood our streets with drugs. Sexual crimes, robberies, assaults, assaults on homes, machetes and jihadist drivers sweeping walks or markets. The majority of the media systematically conceals the nationality of foreigners when they are arrested or convicted. The police lack the proper means to fight crime because the great popular-socialist coalition has turned the victims into the culprits and the culprits into the victims. It is necessary a rearmament, a political and moral rearmament. We must fight crime with all the means at our disposal. That the media do not hide the truth, higher penalties, lowering the penal age, greater police presence, mass deportations and loss of social aid. Restoring order is the only possible security strategy.
100 days of the new Commission – Delivering on defence, competitiveness, simplification and migration as our priorities (topical debate)
Date:
12.03.2025 13:18
| Language: ES
Mr President, as a headless chicken, so goes the von der Leyen II Commission. It is not easy to fool everyone all the time, not even for the European People's Party, because talk about competitiveness and close an agreement in Germany with socialists and greens, talk about protecting borders and close an agreement in Austria with socialists and greens. progressThis is a very difficult balance for the European People's Party. Simply because they are unable to say sorry, they do not ask forgiveness from the European countryside and scam them with their new vision of agriculture, which is the Green Deal 5.0. They do not apologize to the automotive industry and maintain the ban on the combustion engine by 2035. They talk about housing, but their policy is to inject money into the administrations, like that credit for an urban project with a gender perspective that Mrs. Calviño has given to her socialist friends in Barcelona. For years, the parties that voted for this Commission have rejected investments in military, defence and security spending in their countries. And now, in haste, they announce massive public debt for their rearmament plan; But in reality, their intention is to take advantage of the crisis to take control of the military capabilities of the Member States. They fill their mouths with the sovereignty of Ukraine, but attack the sovereignty of the Member States. Not a word from the Commission about the total bankruptcy of the rule of law and democracy in Romania, where the Romanian elections have been stolen. They side with the Islamic State, which massacres Muslim, Druze and Christian minorities in Syria. A hundred days, Mrs. von der Leyen, like a headless chicken.
Action Plan for the Automotive Industry (debate)
Date:
12.03.2025 10:03
| Language: ES
Madam President, this is going from bad to worse. The action plan for the automotive sector is another missed opportunity. They do not give up their goal of banning the sale of diesel or gasoline cars in Europe by 2035, although they recognize that consumers do not want them and sales are going down. But you insist on imposing on the producer what he should do and on the consumer what he should lead. Keynes, next to him, looks like Von Mises. They had an opportunity to rectify and the only thing they propose is to delay the sanctions on the companies three years, propose social leasing schemes in charge of taxes and, of course, public spending, subsidies, taxes and debt so that the disaster is not noted in the income statement of the managers. Turning the European Union into a public company of leasing It's a fucking joke. Valencia with Ford, Barcelona with the Volkswagen Group, Galicia and Zaragoza with Stellantis and Castilla y León with Renault will be very affected; But you guys don't seem to care. The problems are devastating for the component market. In Spain there are more than a thousand companies and fifteen technology centers, half of which are in danger of extinction. And the question that Europeans ask themselves is: Who do you work for?
Presentation of the proposal on a new common approach on returns (debate)
Date:
11.03.2025 15:42
| Language: ES
Madam President, Habib Rahman, an Afghan with a denied asylum claim, murdered his roommate in Saxony. With us he would have been deported and that woman would now be alive. Illegal immigrants and the organizations that help them know them all and lengthen the administrative or judicial proceedings endlessly. We can't afford it. Any deportation must include examination of the asylum application and produce immediate enforcement effect. Any person entering or staying without a valid residence permit or visa should be detained and detained – in a detention centre or in a safe third country – for as long as necessary to return to their country. Only in this way will we put an end to the so-called effect: when they know that there are rights that only Europeans or legally resident foreigners have. To ensure returns, we must include a guarantee mechanism whereby development aid, trade agreements and the issuance of visas are automatically suspended if the third country does not cooperate with returns, citing the public policy clause that we already have in our international agreements, with which nothing new must be signed. None of this is in the Commission's proposal, which keeps us in failure and throws us into the abyss. Let's try to get better.
Collaboration between conservatives and far right as a threat for competitiveness in the EU (topical debate)
Date:
12.02.2025 12:30
| Language: ES
Mr President, last Saturday's summit of patriotic leaders in Madrid has made them very nervous. Well, you know: a lot of tila, doing sports and sleeping eight hours. The Europeans are exhausted from their policies and propaganda, the Europeans want to reconquer Europe and they know who is going to lead what needs to be done to make Europe great again: eliminate or lower all taxes; repeal the European Green Deal; lifting the burdens on the primary and industrial sectors to create European jobs; end censorship, social media and dictatorship surprised in universities; defending private property and freedom of trade, which is not opposed, but requires defending private property and freedom of trade; freeze development aid and NGOs; intensively build cheap housing to increase supply and build nuclear power plants to lower the electricity bill and serve industry; restore the principle of Community preference; defending the external borders so that nothing – and no one – enters our territory illegally and, of course, mass deportations of illegals; fight crime and close all jihadist mosques. We have a good plan and we have the best leaders. So you know: tila, sport and sleep eight hours.
Commission Work Programme 2025 (debate)
Date:
12.02.2025 09:29
| Language: ES
Madam President, turn on the music of Titanic, Europe is sinking and you are still playing the violin. The Commission presents a programme for 2025 in which, in order to improve competitiveness, it envisages the adoption of 63 new rules. How does Brussels want European companies to compete with a new backpack behind its back? What you have presented is an insult and an act of betrayal of Europe. They do not reverse their climate ambitions, but their ambitions are the ruin of the people. Haven't you heard yet that you don't create wealth? They just consume it, and a lot. What needs to be done is to depart from the Paris Agreement and have your friend Soros go to the COP. Fishermen without fishing, young people without jobs, shops for sale, companies laying off their employees, but all paying more taxes and more debt, the automotive sector closing and eliminating shifts: 35 000 dismissed by Volkswagen in Germany, who are going to vote for Alternative for Germany. In the agricultural sector, you in the EPP were deceived again before the elections, but it will not happen again: There is no sector more fed up with the suicidal policies of the European Green Deal and the 2030 Agenda. Europe needs radical change and you are disqualified. May the winds of change bring good governments, suspend the European Green Deal, renounce the globalist agenda of the United Nations, impose reindustrialization and community preference as priorities, lower taxes, eliminate burdens and bet on productive energies. Only in this way will the European genius be reborn and we will make Europe great again.
Preparedness for a new trade era: multilateral cooperation or tariffs (debate)
Date:
11.02.2025 09:05
| Language: ES
Mrs Maestre, yes, to the farmers, to the farmers, to the fishermen, to the steel and aluminium industry, to all the Spanish self-employed I say that the culprits of their ruin are Pedro Sánchez and the Government of the European Commission. And they know it perfectly well: You have raised all taxes, you have raised rates, you have imposed new contributions, prohibitions and limitations on your activity. When you expropriate hundreds of olive trees to put up solar panels, you are destroying the European countryside. Which I don't applaud at all. What I do is criticize you, denounce you and point out that we have an alternative that goes through freedom, respect for private property, tax cuts and the prosperity of Europe.
Preparedness for a new trade era: multilateral cooperation or tariffs (debate)
Date:
11.02.2025 09:02
| Language: ES
Madam President, pathetic and dangerously fanatical. You have been crushing Europeans for 35 years with bans and restrictions, tax increases, taxes, contributions, pursuing and sanctioning. And now, as Donald Trump imposes import tariffs on certain goods to protect his economy, you make him a scapegoat. You have invented xenocapitalism, an economic system under which foreign production and employment are systematically benefited to the detriment of one's own production and employment. They have ruined the countryside, industry, transport, fishing, imposing self-tariffs on domestic production. What are, if not, CO2 emission allowances?2 or the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism? Steel tariffs? What hypocrites! You have destroyed steel production in Europe by condemning the electro-intensive industry with your renunciation of nuclear energy, gas and oil. Only patriots who defend private property defend the freedom to trade, which opposes unfair foreign competition. Tomatoes? From Morocco. Oranges? From South Africa. Onions? From Senegal. Textile? From Bangladesh. Cars or ships? From China. You have promoted capital outflows and expelled productive investment. For years we have warned that its 2030 Agenda and its Green Deal condemned Europe. May the winds of change bring good governments that suspend the Green Deal, renounce the globalist agenda, lower taxes, remove obstacles and bans and renegotiate all trade agreements to protect European production. Only in this way will the European genius be reborn and we will make Europe great again.
Links between organised crime and smuggling of migrants in light of the recent UN reports (debate)
Date:
22.01.2025 16:29
| Language: ES
Madam President, you always want data. Well, I'll give you some facts: As for jihadist terrorism in Spain, there have been more than 80 detainees last year, and this year in Ceuta a Tunisian Daesh fighter has accessed Spain swimming. Frontex notes that illegal immigration from the Sahel is being used by networks of Islamic fundamentalism. And it is that the mafias that introduce illegal immigrants earn 61 000 euros for each boat that arrives in the Canary Islands. And on top of that we tow them, pay them half the trip and give them residence permits. On drugs, ten Pakistanis have been arrested for setting up a drug trafficking network in Barcelona last week. With regard to sexual crimes, in Vizcaya, province of northern Spain, the Prosecutor's Office itself recognizes that 64 % of sexual crimes against women are of immigrants. Across Europe there is great complicit tolerance for crime, especially if they are foreigners – or do they want us to talk about Rotherham? – mainly because the methods to combat it require strong leaders and strong decisions and because those who suffer the consequences are not here. You don't suffer the consequences. All this needs to be changed: zero tolerance and mass deportations.
Geopolitical and economic implications for the transatlantic relations under the new Trump administration (debate)
Date:
21.01.2025 12:27
| Language: ES
Madam President, nightmares last night? Don't worry, everything heals. Trump won the majority of the electoral college, won the popular vote and improved his results in all demographic strata. Ursula von der Leyen has not been voted on by anyone and is chairman of the Commission because he has won the favour of all the losers. Donald Trump's return to the White House is the victory of the suffocated middle classes, of whom we want freedom from censorship, peace before war, democracy before tyrannies and common sense before "wokism." You prefer to raise taxes, censor opinions and ban things. Trump said yesterday what many of us have been saying for some time: whereas climate hysteria has led to an energy emergency and all energy sources must be put at the service of the nation; whereas one can perceive oneself as one pleases, but there are only two sexes; that the borders of the nation are the door of your house and that no one has the right to enter your house without permission, and that if he does so he must be thrown out; whereas criminal gangs have to be fought by all means; that without security there is no freedom and without freedom there is no prosperity. European peoples no longer want to be laboratory mice where you try dangerous social experiments. They no longer want to accept censorship or resentment. Brussels has been making decisions against the people for decades: Open and illegal borders, energy dependence on foreign powers, gender ideology in universities and colleges, and persecution of patriotic leaders. It's over. C'est fini. The future belongs to the patriots.
Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)
Date:
21.01.2025 10:03
| Language: ES
When billionaires worked for you, they didn't care: neither Elon Musk, nor any; No Bezos, no Mark Zuckerberg... When they were with you they didn't care, and now that they say "freedom," they start to worry you. What I am saying is that they should not use the Digital Services Act to impose the censorship they have already imposed on universities, colleges and parliaments themselves. Because here is a part of this Chamber that has no representation because you all have zero respect for democracy. The truth: They're losing. I know many of you have had a bad night. Don't worry, you've got a lot worse left.
Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)
Date:
21.01.2025 10:00
| Language: ES
Madam President, with a lot of money and threats, it is you who have been imposing your fanatical dogmas, witch hunts, professional cancellation or direct censorship on the media, universities and schools for decades. Never in the history of Europe had there been a cancellation of thought. Using the Digital Services Act as an instrument of mass censorship, using verifiers who act as agents of the Cheka, and sanctioning Elon Musk because he opens the way to freedom is proof of his defeat. A huge wave of freedom runs through the streets of Europe and overflows with enthusiasm on social media: "the state cannot deprive its citizens of their lives or cooperate with it", "the climate always changes, but the sun influences more than my diesel car", "political Islam is incompatible with the West" or "a broad program of mass deportations of illegal immigrants must be initiated" are things that, a few days ago, led to the cancellation on social networks. You have already lost, and the power will be taken away from you, sooner or later. You offer poisoned cakes to people, but people want bread and they want freedom; He wants justice and homeland.
Need to ensure swift action and transparency on corruption allegations in the public sector to protect democratic integrity (debate)
Date:
18.12.2024 17:53
| Language: ES
Mr President, corruption in Spain threatens the ruin and collapse of our rule of law. My political group has asked for this debate three times to talk about the corruption of Pedro Sánchez, the corruption of Sánchez's family, the corruption of Sánchez's party and the corruption of Sánchez's government. The popular and socialists twice rejected this debate and today have hidden it in an incomprehensible title. Sanchez is besieged by corruption and here he has been protected because he is Ursula's main ally. For you armchairs and shame. The time has come for you to take Sanchez, his party and his government seriously. His brother is under judicial investigation for several crimes. His wife, for influence peddling. The leadership of the socialist organization is involved in cash collections by commissioners. Several ministers are involved in overpriced award schemes, including Teresa Ribera, whom you have made vice-president. There are hidden commissions, tax fraud, capital evasion and necessary cooperation with the criminal government of Nicolás Maduro and Delcy Rodríguez. Not an explanation, not a resignation. But it is also corruption to personally call the CEOs of regulated and listed companies to receive your wife and favor their businesses. It is corruption to pay four hundred million in institutional propaganda and twenty million to the producer who makes a documentary about your life. It is corruption to spend everyone's money and the fight against cancer on buying works of art. It is corruption to persecute judges who apply the law. It is corruption to open borders and spend money on NGOs, hotels and paguitas to illegal immigrants who have violated our law. It is corruption to put at the head of the Constitutional Court the former Attorney General of the State and the former Minister of Justice. It is corruption that the Attorney General, under judicial investigation, threatens the opposition and the prosecutors themselves. It is corruption to send our military to any country abroad and not to save lives and protect property in Valencia. It is corruption to pardon the one who does not even ask for it and to amnesty a politician to get his votes. And, of course, it is corruption to leave our military, our police and our prison officials helpless in the face of insecurity on the streets. Today Sanchez is a problem for Spain and for the whole of Europe. And if you look the other way, you will also be part of the problem.
Restoring the EU’s competitive edge – the need for an impact assessment on the Green Deal policies (topical debate)
Date:
18.12.2024 12:00
| Language: ES
Mr President, five years later, when the damage has already been done, we come to discuss the impact of the Green Deal. Ever since the Commission came up with this unfortunate idea, we have warned: The Green Deal is a massive layoff plan, the ruin of European industry. I'm going to tell you, Mrs. Ribera, the impact, and so you save the money: the Green Deal is to stop producing here and to produce outside; the Green Deal is low-quality employment to give to those who bring with their migration policies; the Green Deal is about taking the future away from families, producers and young people in rural areas; the Green Deal is the data of the fall in car production in Spain – yes, the country from which you come and to which you are owed; the Green Deal are European countries shutting down their industries to be able to heat homes, fishermen forced to abandon their way of life because they are prohibited from fishing in the Mediterranean or farmers protesting, because our producers are forced to compete with a tied hand in Africa or in Mercosur. You intend to prohibit a truck from carrying Iberian pork from Extremadura to Warsaw because it pollutes, but you are going to multiply the traffic of ships that will bring imported meat from Rio de Janeiro to Rotterdam. At Vox we have demanded it again: nor a trade agreement allowing massive imports of products that do not meet the health or environmental standards imposed on ours. Repeal the Automotive Directive and CO emissions trading2. Let us implement a European nuclear plan, lower taxes and dismantle the fabric of bodies, agencies and supervisors that persecute our producers. This will make the Green Deal a bad dream and make Europe's economy great again.
Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)
Date:
17.12.2024 12:21
| Language: ES
Madam President, you talking about disinformation is a joke. Recently, the European Data Protection Supervisor has condemned the Commission for illegally using personal data for political propaganda campaigns, and the Commission acknowledged that it sent its advertisements to people who were not interested in keywords such as QatargateMarine Le Pen or VOX: the Commission interfering; Brussels denied European funds to conservative Poland by facilitating the opposition's campaign, and immediately released them when the opposition won: Brussels interfering. The scandal has come in the case of Romania: a Constitutional Court controlled by magistrates appointed by the parties of the system annuls an election because one of the candidates has more followers on TikTok than the rest, and they invent that the social network has intervened in the elections. Even the other candidate describes this as illegitimate, immoral and undemocratic, but you welcome the fact that democracy has been dealt a blow within the European Union. Today we know that the Moroccan government has launched a massive campaign of lies and propaganda to destabilize Ceuta and Melilla using automated accounts, fake profiles and the Muslim community itself, but you will continue to give money to Morocco: You are the enemies of freedom. In Spain, while more than two hundred people died in the flood of Valencia, the Government of Sanchez did not suspend the vote that assured him of consolidating control of state television. Sánchez will close the year by spending 400 million euros on institutional propaganda, interfering. The private media are no better, they live on subsidies and institutional advertising, mostly bankrupt companies that are supported by the money that is taken from Europeans out of their pockets: All public and private media interfere in elections, but you only care about social media because you don't control it. They liked Twitter because they controlled it, but now X doesn't like it because they don't control it. Nobody believes them anymore. They have been lying and manipulating for years, so I leave you some good headlines: "Social networks are gaining ground and TikTok continues to rise among young people", "More and more young people are voting for the new right in Europe" and, lastly, "VOX is the favorite party among young people in Spain".
Presentation by the President-elect of the Commission of the College of Commissioners and its programme (debate)
Date:
27.11.2024 10:10
| Language: ES
Madam President, Mrs von der Leyen, this Commission is mortally wounded. For the Spaniards this Commission has been sealed on the death that rode the overflowing channels in Valencia. We had the opportunity to overthrow the von der Leyen II Commission by saying no to Ribera, but you have preferred dishonor, compromise and indignity. Socialists and populars are the face of the same coin. It is the currency of climate fanaticism, CO emission rights2, censorship on social networks, persecution of those who disagree, mass layoffs, unfair trade agreements, the financial economy over the real economy. It is the currency that destroys landscapes by placing farms of solar panels and wind turbines where man used to be, the one that dismantles dams and lets nature grow wild, destroying everything it finds. You will be responsible for every company that closes. For every illegal immigrant or false refugee who assaults a Catholic church, executes an anti-Semitic pogrom or burns a flag of Spain, France or Germany. You guys (addressing Ursula von der Leyen and the Commissioners-designate) It's the Sludge Commission and you (addressing Members) are responsible.

Signature of acts adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (Rule 81)
Date:
25.11.2024 16:09
| Language: ES
Madam President, according to Rule 164 of the Rules of Procedure, it is a scandal that the Presidency has refused to discuss the corruption of Pedro Sánchez in Spain, as requested by my group. It was requested in a timely manner and in accordance with the Rules of Procedure, as the testimony of a commissioner of the socialist corruption plot indicting Sánchez and Ribera came the day after the adoption of the plenary agenda; a commissioner of the socialist corruption plot who has stated that several socialist ministers and positions were cash-charging; that Sánchez, his wife and the ministers Marlaska, Ábalos and the one who is going to be his vice president, Teresa Ribera, had knowledge or participated in the business. There is only one reason for them to skip the Rules of Procedure and prevent a democratic debate on the alleged corruption of the current Government of Spain and of a candidate for Vice-President of the Commission: They have agreed to the law of silence. Populars and socialists have not only reached an agreement to appoint the Commission, but also to cover up Sánchez's corruption in front of millions of Spaniards and Europeans. You, today, have become complicit forever.
Enhancing Europe’s civilian and defence preparedness and readiness (debate)
Date:
14.11.2024 09:01
| Language: ES
Madam President, you can make all the reports you want, but we will not defend ourselves against emergencies and crises if there is no will and determination. How to respond quickly to an emergency? Then go to Spain and ask a youth association called Revuelta that, the day after the floods in Valencia, had a ship up to the top of aid, thousands of volunteers and trucks coming and going from Madrid to Valencia without spending a public euro. Not a single public administration in Spain had done anything in twenty-four hours. How to involve the civilian population? Then go to Paiporta, Chiva, Catarroja and ask who helped you. There were no officials with tax-exempt salaries and no one asked them about the gender perspective. There were people, volunteers determined in an act of national solidarity. Do you want a lesson on how to work with allies? Then ask the Government of Spain, which has refused aid from France, El Salvador and the Army, and do the opposite. But they have been criticizing the military for forty years! Really, let's put a little seriousness and, above all, let's not put in charge of the management someone incapable like Teresa Ribera.
The devastating floods in Spain, the urgent need to support the victims, to improve preparedness and to fight the climate crisis (debate)
Date:
13.11.2024 14:46
| Language: ES
Madam President, the tragedy in Spain leaves more than 220 dead, tens of thousands of homes destroyed and neighbors desolate with their villages under the mud. My condolences go to the families of the deceased and our solidarity with all the victims. Foolish politicians such as Ursula von der Leyen, Pedro Sánchez, Teresa Ribera and Iratxe García – right now – say that climate change is to blame, but that is a lie. Any Spaniard knows that torrential rains and floods in the Levant are periodic and what has been lacking are infrastructures. What kills are the irresponsible policies of fanatics like Ribera. What kills is not to build dams and canals for the drainage of the floods, dams projected for years and that neither one nor the other have executed. What kills is to prohibit cleaning channels, dredging land and clearing the banks of rivers, causing, along with the water, tens of tons of natural waste to reach the sea. What kills is an urban model that builds houses on dry roads, without implementing prevention and protection measures. What kills is not to declare the national emergency and to mobilize from the first moment all the civil and military forces of the nation, putting them at the service of the people. What kills is to refuse international aid from France or El Salvador. What kills is not activating the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism. And as the people die, politicians – socialists and popular – struggle to evade their criminal and political responsibilities. We have incapable administrators and we have criminal politicians. Some have to go home and some have to go to court. Honor rather than discipline and saving lives rather than saving a failed autonomous state. But Spain has a vibrant youth: Thousands of young volunteers have left everything to serve the nation. Honor for Revolt, Solidarity and so many associations that, from day one, have done what the failed autonomous state has been unable to do. October 29 is a turning point: This state no longer serves us and we must rebuild it on the principles of unity, effectiveness and rigorous control of spending. Only the people save the people.
