Speeches

Mr President, yesterday I was looking for information on how much violence against women has increased or decreased since the Istanbul Convention was adopted: I didn't find anything. I asked the services of the European Parliament, which also have nothing. The European Union allocates billions of euros a year to promote equality, or so it says. We have women's observatories, equality commissions, non-governmental organizations, government organizations, ministers, counselors, commissioners and even chairs in universities, but it is impossible to find an official figure of what is happening. We do not know if violence against women increases or decreases, but, listening to you, it seems to increase, which means that your gender policies are useless. In fact, reality tells us otherwise: In 2015, when mass Islamic immigration was allowed into Germany, there was a drastic increase in violence against women. We are clear: violence against women is combated with border control, support for families and harsh penalties against criminals and abusers. You do the opposite: They confront men and women, talk about "toxic masculinity" and consider all men, in general, potential rapists. That way we won't do anything.

Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, the right to an adequate environment is recognised in the Constitution in most of our countries, and this Parliament has just approved an amendment to the Aarhus Convention on Access to Justice in Environmental Matters. Therefore, the recent United Nations Resolution, which recognizes the right to a healthy environment, would not cease to be a symbolic issue if we did not know that each globalist initiative hides much more than it appears: in reality, a strategy to systematically impose a concrete economic and social model. Recognizing empty content rights is not recognizing rights. They have made the environment a hostage to those multilateral agencies that use legitimate concerns to deviate from real priorities. They multiply the environmental regulation on families and companies, but they remain silent before China, the most polluting country. They blame states, but they submit to multinational giants. Unnecessary organisms are proliferating, such as the United Nations rapporteur for the protection of human rights. But the price of energy rises exponentially because of the limitation of emission allowances imposed by Brussels, and in a few weeks millions of Europeans and their families and companies will join the ranks of energy poverty. "Poor but sustainable" is going to be the new motto of the United Nations. They are responsible for the rural exodus and the dismantling of our productive fabric, criminalize farmers and ranchers, allow unfair competition from non-EU products or promote eating habits as criminal as not drinking good wine, good oil and good meat. But Europeans don't want more empty rights, they want a secure future, water, keep their farms, work and compete. And they demand that we protect them, not sell them to multinational giants and extra-community powers.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, stop this senseless persecution of any country that refuses to sell its sovereignty: Today is Poland, tomorrow Hungary and the day after tomorrow will be anyone who rises to defend the nation. The homeland is the last defense of the humble. It is a shame that this House treats Poland more viciously than Chinese communist tyranny or the narco-dictatorships of the Iberosphere. I repeat: Member States do not work for Brussels. The democratically elected Polish Parliament does not work for an elected Commission in dark offices. It is Brussels that is at the service of the Member States; The European Union is not a superpower, it is not that one ring that controls everyone, which is what you would like: It is just an international treaty in which twenty-seven sovereign states put things in common to do things in common. And, of course, the constitution of each Member State is above it. I also believe that the historical constitution of Spain, which traces its origins to the dawn of the Middle Ages, is above the Treaties. Today, the supporters of common sense fight for our freedom and our democracy in the camps of Poland, but no longer against Soviet battleships, but against a legion of bureaucrats who want to rob us of the freedom of our nations and the primacy of our constitutions.

Madam President, European taxpayers have spent billions of euros on development aid or on the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, which is part of the multiannual financial framework, but also through these trust funds, which, moreover, have been much less transparent. What have we won? Turkey, for example, has received more than €4 billion from the Facility for Refugees, or €3.5 billion through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, and in return we have had waves of assaults on border crossings, threats and contingencies of military confrontation with Greece or France. It could continue with the African continent, to which more than €25 billion has been allocated annually in development aid and through the Trust Fund. In return, Morocco attempted to storm Spain's border in Ceuta this year. Cooperation with African countries on the return of illegal immigrants is virtually nil, with a return rate of less than 20%, and countries such as Algeria put the continuity of gas supply in Spain at risk. This money does not go to those most in need to guarantee their right not to emigrate. This money stays in the NGOs or in the hands of any dictatorial satrap. It is therefore necessary to make any aid conditional on compliance with that obligation to cooperate with the control of illegal immigration. Otherwise, our compatriots will be poorer and more insecure.

Mr President, I thought I had come here to discuss trade relations between the European Union and the United States, but then I read the report and I see that you continue with your usual blah, blah, blah on climate change, resilience, gender ideology and the fight against the far right – curious that you never talk about the far left. Even in a trade agreement they talk about abortion, using that pompous euphemism for sexual and reproductive rights. I've been here for a little over two years and I'm still amazed at the ability of their propaganda machinery to stick their noses in all the sauces. The truth is that they then tell other anti-Europeans when those who are leaving the European Union and Europe at the level of bitumen are you. China is laughing at us. Turkey and Morocco laugh at us. The illegal immigration mafias are laughing at us. The big globalist corporations of network censorship are laughing at us. Even the United States of his beloved Biden have laughed at us in Afghanistan after collaborating with them for more than twenty years, to finally give the country to China. These are the real problems facing Europeans. To fight all this, count on us; To fight your ideological ghosts, don't count.

Madam President, Commissioner, any excuse goes to attack governments that do not like Brussels or to put in place mechanisms for monitoring, supervising and sanctioning the Member States. It may be that a national parliament decides to pass laws to protect children's innocence from the activism of gender ideology. It may be that some Member States decide to protect their borders against the massive and illegal entry of migrants. It may be that a national Parliament decides that it does not want to ruin its businesses and families by destroying its car industry in the face of the crazy demands of the Green Deal. It may be, as in this case, that the United States imposes sanctions on a number of citizens of a Member State who have committed corruption offences. Any excuse is valid to interfere in the exclusive national competences and to impose its ideological roller. Today a Spanish Socialist MP brings us this question: What approach will the Commission put forward in the fight against corruption at national level? What role will the Commission play in protecting the rule of law in the Member States? For I say to them: nothing; Don't do anything. Respect national parliaments, governments and judges. That is what we must do, because, if not, what would we do with the Government of Spain, which has been convicted of illegally confining 47 million Spaniards by the Constitutional Court? Don't do anything. Respect national institutions. The fight against corruption has to be done – and harshly – from the public prosecutor’s offices and the national courts, not from the Commission. We are facing a new attempt at political interference and abusive assumption of competences. I repeat what I said yesterday: it must be clear that the EU institutions are at the service of the Member States and their citizens, and not the other way around. Master Tolkien would not rewrite a single comma of his trilogy: Middle-earth is in danger; The Eye of Sauron in Brussels is very much alive... But, look at you, in Middle-earth we only aspire to live in freedom, to respect our ancestral traditions and customs, our institutions and our freedoms. It's just about that. Is that going to be respected or do they directly want to eliminate it?

Mr President, Mrs von der Leyen, despite your triumphalist speeches, Europe is in crisis. And this time they can't blame anyone. The price of electricity rises non-stop due to its climate agenda, as it increases the costs of companies and consumers. And you announce a new 55% emission reduction target. The entry of illegal immigrants into Spain breaks historical records. And you announce a new migration pact that will not protect Europe's borders and will continue to encourage the mafias that execute the disembarkation. The Chinese Communist Party remains unresponsive internationally to its responsibilities in relation to the Chinese coronavirus crisis. And you continue to encourage those investment agreements that will destroy European industry. They are launching a Conference on the Future of Europe that is only intended to give Brussels more power, but they hide the cost of that Conference from us. They lecture the Member States, but punish the Hungarian and Polish people, forgetting that the Commission is at the service of the States, and not the other way around. They call for saving Afghan women from the Taliban after having ridiculed the entire international community, but, meanwhile, our wives and daughters are walking insecurely through those neighborhoods in Europe already taken over by jihadism. We will continue to cry out in the desert despite their insults and mockery. You remain in the service of the elites. We'll still be on the street.

Mr President, any European knows that a homosexual walks more calmly in the streets of Budapest or Warsaw than in Molenbeek, Gaza or Tehran. But you prefer to submit to the lobby's agenda and spend the whole day ranting about Hungary or Poland. How dare they give lessons in democracy to Hungary or Poland? How dare they teach lessons about the rule of law and human rights to those who have fought and defeated the best-known and most brutal totalitarian movement in Europe, which is communism? Precisely you, those of the health cordons, those who threaten to cut off European funds to anyone who does not submit to their ideological straitjacket. How can a Maltese socialist sentenced to two years in prison for spreading homosexual pornography about his ex-partner talk about gay rights in Hungary? With you it is always the world upside down. But they don't scare us. The wave of patriotism and common sense that runs through Europe is here to stay. Those who founded the Union are turning in their graves to see what they are doing with their project, with the ideological dictatorship that the Community institutions use not to serve the Member States, as mandated by the Treaties, but to threaten, harass and give orders to them. They look desperate. We continue with common sense.
