Debate contributions by Petras GRAŽULIS

Hey, hey. I was imprisoned in Soviet camps, persecuted to defend the rights of believers, and sought for Lithuania to be independent. I had to know Russian dissidents and even stay at home with them. Sakharov, Solzhenitsyn, Kovalev and others. After Lithuania regained its independence and became a different ideology, not communist, but genderist, I am persecuted again. Trial in Lithuania for quoting Sacred Scripture. Not officially banned, but practically not allowed. When I was imprisoned, American President Ronald Reagan, on a trip to Moscow to visit Gorbachev, demanded the release of political prisoners, including me. It seems to me that I will be sentenced in Lithuania, so I will ask President Trump to also respond to what is happening in Lithuania, not only in Vance, and in Europe, and to defend human rights and freedom of speech.

Honourable rapporteur, the United States of America, Ukraine and Russia are negotiating and negotiating peace through the United States. How do you view these negotiations? And yet, the European Union promised 40 billion in support for Ukraine, but found no more than five billion. What is the policy of the European Union?

Mr President, there is a proverb: When God punishes, He takes away the mind. The European Union, which believed in the Green Deal, demolished nuclear power plants, as well as in Lithuania, where Lithuania had to close down a nuclear power plant. Electricity has risen, people can't pay. The industry has become uncompetitive. Europe is not keeping up with global competition. We have also abandoned fossil fuels. We buy gas from Russia for more than we support Ukraine. We support Ukraine with one hand, and we love Putin even more with the other. Trump and America have abandoned that crazy green deal and will cut down on energy resources. Europe, when do you realize you're on your dog paths?

I want to say that you say that there is no man or woman, there is no gender. You are contradicting yourself. Dear MEPs, where have you gone? You threw Sacred Scripture into the trash, crucified God, and built a genderist ideology instead of God. You are the way to nowhere, to destruction!

Mr President, first of all, I would like to make a remark to the Presidencies. One woman was allowed to ask the same question twice. And when I wanted to ask and my question was not answered, why the European Union did not accept Ukraine into the European Union after this day, I did not answer the question and you did not allow me to repeat the question. Perhaps you, the Presidency, will say, maybe it is Trump's fault that Ukraine is not a member of the European Union today? And now I'm basically. Sacred Scripture tells us that there are two genders. That's what Trump said. You have emphasized a woman's gender, and you have said that there are seventy-two or already one hundred and four genders. You are discriminating against your own absurdity, stressing that a woman is discriminating against other sexes. Do you know for yourself, the Europeans here, what kind of gender you are? Who do you know? Raise your hands. It turns out that sitting here in the hall you do not even know what sex you are. I wanted to ask the Presidency, if it is not forbidden to read Sacred Scripture, because I am even entitled in Lithuania to read Sacred Scripture, then I want to read to you what God is saying and what Sacred Scripture is saying about relationships in the family. First, you men, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave his life for her. You women, be subject to your men as to the Lord, and if there is, love will prevail, then there will be peace and respect for each other.

Honourable rapporteur, a lot of loud words, but very little work on Ukraine from the ruling majority and from Europe. Why is Ukraine not accepted into the European Union? What is America's fault? Is Russia to blame? Why did you not hear Zelensky during such a period? Can you hear and accept?

Do you think the political forces that created these problems: an insane green deal that makes Europe uncompetitive, uncontrolled emigration that causes great damage to Europe and bureaucracy, can they solve those problems or do you think they are not able to solve those problems by the current ruling majority?

Mr President, it is surprising that Europe is pursuing its foreign policy, particularly with regard to Rwanda. The parliamentarians who spoke here before have also wondered how the countries of the European Union, the European Union, can provide funding to Rwanda. You answer this question: Is it moral? When Rwanda invades the Congo, she kills people, rapes women, rapes all villages. How can you do that? Look at what America has done to them! The U.S. government has banned the purchase of raw materials used in the computer and mobile phone industry. What about you? You continue to accept statements, as they say, not only that you are not buying, but that you are financing the Rwandan industry. So what, nowadays, is more important than moral values, than money, is the death of human beings? How do you want the world to hear you, Europe? I believe that we must take decisive action, not declarations, which we constantly and continuously accept. What will change after that? Nothing will change! If we pass some resolution, condemn Rwanda once again, condemn the rebels, what will change? Nothing will change! Let us change our attitude towards what is happening in Rwanda. Let us stop funding and give help there and to those people who are being raped, and let us stop these actions.

Mr President, the European Union has lost its geopolitical influence in the world, both in the Middle East and not only in the Middle East. Its voice is not heard in the world and regions. And I think that if Europe continues to be divided, unified, Europe's voice will be less heard in the world, in the Middle East and beyond. The current commissioner boasted that a ceasefire had finally been reached in Palestine. But, I want to ask, at whose expense? Is it European? On the first day, only under oath, Trump's efforts led to a ceasefire and the release of several hostages. America is heard all over the world. If Europe continues with such a policy, then its future is certainly quite difficult. Let's see, we talked here, and three years of war in Ukraine is approaching. What did Europe do? Why doesn't Putin listen to his voice? Why isn't Putin afraid? Why is the war against Ukraine continuing? Europe must be united! If you are united, you will be strong. Here's what Trump said: I will solve this issue, I will stop the war in Ukraine. This is us much more important than America: backside The war is going on, the occupation is going on. European. It is not clear under what conditions this peace will be resolved. But I am sure the bloodshed will be stopped. And I think it is a great shame for the European Union. One of the most powerful economic unions, but unfortunately has no principles, no attitudes and no hearing of the countries of this union in the world. Think, the countries of the European Union, and get together and respect yourself, and other countries will listen to you.

Mr President, if Europe were united, strong and principled, there would be no war in Ukraine. It would have been enough to tell the leaders of the European Union Putin that we will defend Europe by all means... Putin is not... Ukraine, Putin would not have decided to attack Ukraine. Europe is very powerful only through resolutions. Yes, it provided huge financial support, but insufficient. There was also insufficient military support. And the farther away Putin goes, the more he gets inside Ukraine. Are you not ashamed, European Union, one of the most powerful economies, that now American President Trump has promised to stop this war? It is a humiliation of Europe. You had to solve these problems yourself. There are plumes on their own, and there are no real works – such as Ukraine’s aid needs.

As you said, the United States of America is our ally, both in NATO and in other respects. So should we sit at the negotiating table and, as Trump asks, buy energy supplies, gas from America, not from Russia? And I think that if we sit down and negotiate, we will find a compromise. There is a lack of dialogue. Don't you see that?

Dear rapporteur, do you not think that, just as America with the election of Trump turned to fundamental Christian values, turning away from genderism, from an excessive number of genders, so should Europe turn to its roots, to Christian values? And should we be happy that values have won in the largest and most powerful country in the world, rather than crying here in Parliament?

Dear rapporteur, I keep asking questions to the governors. You want a good relationship with America. Why have you, the European Parliament, not congratulated President-elect Trump? Does this lead to good relationships? Do you also not think that, since he used the services of Just Tok, he was elected illegally, as were the candidates in Romania? Is democracy the only way to choose the people you want? When they are not elected, they are no longer democracy.

A representative of the ruling majority, you see that there is no democracy in the whole world. There is only democracy in Europe. But do you not think that Europe has already degenerated? And here is the liberal Bolshevik dictatorship that no other opinion is tolerated? The man who says that there are only two sexes. Do you know? Can you tell me how many genders there are? Do you know? To answer this question, how many genders are there?

Gentlemen, extreme leftists and leftists. You are implementing Lenin's and Marx's policies. Stalin was the first in the world to ban and abolish Christian marriages. Lenin created communes, tried to equalize a man and a woman. The children were together and had no parents. But Russia had to abandon this leftist policy because of the great crimes and strife that had begun. You have not invented anything new and continue the policies of Lenin and Marx, but they are not far off.

Mr President. Hello, it seems to me that we are wasting our time, just like many others. Why this empty resolution? Who doesn't know that Crimea and Ukraine are occupied? Is the fact that we will adopt some resolution here or hold a debate less persecuting people in Crimea by Putin's regime? Definitely not! I am asking you, for the second time in this rostrum, to hear the President of Ukraine, Zelenskyy. Not through resolutions, but through real works, you give him the funding he is asking for. You give them the weapons they ask for. You let those guns defend you. And you are accepting empty meaningless resolutions. Who needs this? Governors, think once in a while! Waiting for America – what will Trump say? Can you defend yourself and provide the right support?

Mr President, there is a folk proverb that the fish is rotting from the head. I have just asked the representative of the ruling majority whether that institution is capable of fighting corruption, which appoints a Commission person to the Presidents of the Commission who is suspected of having links – illegal – with Pfizer, amounting to EUR 35 billion. It also appoints three other top European Commission officials who are also suspected of being corrupt. I think that such an institution and this ruling majority will certainly not solve corruption problems, and these corruption problems will only increase. Honourable Commissioner, I am very sorry that you are in a very unenviable situation and that you will certainly not be allowed to tackle the corruption problem with determination.

Honourable Commissioner, the ruling majority of the European Parliament has appointed a Honourable Commissioner, who is suspected of a thirty-five billion euro deal with Pfizer, possibly illegitimate. You have also appointed three other suspected officials to the highest positions. Will this ruling majority, which so irresponsibly appoints officials, be able to fight corruption?

Mr President. I had one idea, shouldn't there be a basic price for agricultural production? Especially for small farmers, because they are not able to negotiate with large buyers, because they are quite weak. The higher the level of payments, the lower the prices paid to them by purchasers. Wouldn't that be right? As you are the rulers, would you not be able to consider this idea, which I think would be a great help to farmers.

Mr President, honourable rapporteur, although it is also possible to speak to the rapporteur, because you all speak roughly the same way about how terrible employers are, how they exploit people. Today, there are many jobs in Europe. Let the employee choose the company that will not use it. And one more thing: no one is forcibly taking you to work. You see, it is possible to make some adjustments to the legislation, to the labor codes. But in principle everything is bad, which is certainly not the case in Europe.

Mr President, there is a lot of talk here about brainwashing. I lived in the Soviet Union for thirty years, teaching what communism is, but I didn't believe it. I was not a member of any organization. But those who sit here now, many of them were secrets of the Soviet Union. We have become members of the European Union. They are the secrets of the European Union. They serve systems. Confess it. I want to say one more thing: in Lithuania, according to sociological surveys, 80% of people are afraid to say what they think. Is that democracy? It was also in Soviet times. Tell the truth that you... if other presidential candidates were elected in Romania, there would be no such consideration. There is a funeral for democracy. Take that stand where you go to Parliament and say, put a dictatorship instead of democracy. That booth. There is no democracy here. There is no democracy in Lithuania or in Europe.

Ladies and gentlemen, you have just said that Europe has done little to overthrow Assad. But now that Assad has been overthrown, for some reason Israel, American forces and European forces have started bombing Israel every day. Is this help now for those who came to power and overthrew Israel... Assad? People are dying, children are dying, infrastructure is being destroyed and Europe is silent. How do you assess this situation?

I would like to ask you as a representative of the ruling party. Speaking of the debate, it seems to me that you are only struggling with the consequences, but you are not struggling with the cause. You have probably seen yourself many times when you want to buy something small, whether it's a USB or something, it's a tiny thing, and it's packed in a ten times bigger package. Why don't you have the problem of having all the items you produce packed in smaller packages?

Dear Europe, you are killing your children, you are morally killing them. I grew up in the Soviet system, but I didn't know who the homosexual was. When I regained my independence, I understood: He taught his children in school that it was good. In Scripture 118 times God condemns homosexuality as perversion, and the Apostle Matthew says... Christ says in the Gospel of the Apostle Matthew: whoever is outraged will set a bad example for at least one of the little ones, for which there is misery. He would rather take a donkey-turned millstone, tie himself around his neck, and drown himself in the sea. Europe, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah awaits you. And don't laugh - you throw God in the trash and stand up for God yourself!

Mr President, in the Baltic Sea, cutting cables is probing Russia, what will be the reaction of the countries of the European Union and NATO. I want to say that Europe is not taking any action: the ship has not been stopped, the captain has not been questioned and continues to do whatever he wants. The European Union is weak. So why not be bullied if the European Union allows itself to be bullied? Let us now return briefly to the war in Ukraine. So why not go to war if the European Union allows war: He does not give as many weapons to Ukraine as Zelensky asks, does not accept into the European Union what Zelensky asks, does not accept into NATO what Zelensky asks. You are immersed in debates and resolutions, but you do not make fundamental decisions. I am delighted that today I did not vote for the ruling majority, for it is hesitant and unprincipled, and for it to be ridiculed by Mr Putin.
