Debate contributions by Anna BRYŁKA

Madam President, I'm sorry. This debate takes place in an atmosphere of exceptional scandal by the European Commission. The finalisation of the agreement with Mercosur was carried out by the Commission without respect for procedures, treaties, without the involvement of the European Parliament, in an atmosphere of political blackmail. President von der Leyen's dictatorship has shown that legal procedures and the political will of millions of our voters mean nothing to her. There is no rational explanation for what has happened in the last months of work on this agreement. What motivated the European Commission so much that it did not submit the agreement to Parliament for a vote before it was signed? Fear of failure, inability to conduct political negotiations? What about behind-the-scenes pressure? We already know that today. The adoption of the agreement with Mercosur is not only the collapse of European agriculture. It's not just about giving up food security. It is also the twilight of democracy and law in Europe. The Mercosur scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. We also have economic "green" poverty, the aggression of illegal immigrants, the destruction of European industry, and now dictatorial tendencies. Whoever is in favour of a free, secure, sovereign and law-respecting Europe must be in favour of tomorrow's vote of no confidence. This is also a test for this Parliament, because you have the opportunity to serve the citizens of European countries. European agriculture must stay, European industry must stay, and the European Commission must leave.

Madam President, I'm sorry. The European Union-Mercosur Agreement is an example of how the European Commission conducts its trade policy in isolation from the real interests of the Member States. That is why the European Council should urgently address how the Commission is exercising its competences, because what we are seeing today is essentially a dictatorship. The European Commission is violating all the values it has the audacity to admonish national governments. This agreement means sacrificing European farmers. Farmers who have to comply with increasingly stringent environmental, sanitary and animal welfare standards, while competing with imports from outside the Union produced according to completely different standards. This is not free trade, but a very cheeky, white-collar construction of unfair competition. The ratification procedure is also a matter of serious concern. The Commission is trying to bypass the opposition of nation states by limiting the role of national parliaments. That is why the Patriots for Europe have submitted a request to examine the compatibility of this procedure with the Treaties. The law cannot be broken simply because President von der Leyen is in a hurry. Negotiations have been going on for more than a quarter of a century, and now the Commission is trying to push the deal to its knees before the end of the year, ignoring critical voices. All this leads to a loss of food sovereignty, a threat to consumers and exposes the environmental hypocrisy of the Commission, which, on the one hand, talks about climate protection and, on the other hand, accepts solutions that promote environmental degradation outside Europe. Why are you suffocating the economy with your climate ideas when you are supporting counter-actions on the other side of the ocean? Europe needs a trade policy that protects farmers, consumers and the sovereignty of nation states.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. During this debate, we pretend that the problem lies only in China, but let us look honestly at the European Union. China gains a competitive and industrial advantage not because it is particularly cunning, but because the European Union has consistently sabotaged its own economy for years. Over the past 10 years, the trade deficit has widened to over €300 billion with China. In addition, we are absolutely dependent on imports of rare earth elements in a segment where China is essentially a monopoly. We are imposing further regulatory, tax and climate burdens that are stifling European production. In the name of ideology, we limit our own industry, and then we wonder that the market is flooding with Chinese goods, with which we have no chance to compete. As long as European entrepreneurs are hampered by excessive bureaucracy and costs, no trading instruments will reverse this trend. We need a strong, free, competitive economy. If the EU really wants to compete with China, it must stop undercutting the branch it sits on and allow European companies to operate, invest and compete on an equal footing.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Belarus has been conducting an extremely hostile policy towards Poland for years. Minsk has developed a new model of hybrid warfare by illegally transferring immigrants to Poland. At the same time, Belarus is pursuing a systematic, anti-Polish policy towards the Polish minority living on its territory. The regime's actions are aimed at destroying the Polish national identity in Belarus. The authorities outlaw independent Polish social organizations, repress Poles, liquidate Polish schools and limit the teaching of the Polish language. This is all a premeditated policy. The aim is to erase the presence of Poles from public space in Belarus. That is why our Polish position must resound from this lectern. Today, there is no room for any dialogue with Minsk. We call on the Lukashenka regime to immediately stop anti-Polish actions against our compatriots in Belarus and to end the hybrid war on the border with the Republic of Poland.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. What about the ETS2 revision? This is one of the worst elements of EU climate law. This is a climate tax that will affect everyone. This is a fee that every household will pay for. Every owner of a building using fossil fuel heating, every owner of a traditional vehicle will pay already in 2027. We have been discussing this in this House for many months and nothing has really happened. Moreover, the European Commission is pushing for another climate target for 2040. It is not abandoning any existing climate targets. The only thing we see is cosmetic changes that do not contribute to the real problems of European industry, transport or agriculture. The detachment from reality of a large part of this House and the European Commission is at a frightening level. You should come back among people, normal citizens, who are worried about their well-being, their future and their place of work. You will find out what ordinary people think when they listen to your next ideas, for which they will pay. We do not agree with the ideological transformation and the green ideological transformation. We expect an immediate end to ETS2. Citizens cannot afford to pay for the imaginary ideas of the Greens. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in this House in January this year said that ETS2 and energy prices could wipe out any government. And that's exactly what's going to happen.

Mr President, thank you very much. The ban on the sale of new diesel cars after 2035 is a harmful ideological utopia that leads directly to economic catastrophe across Europe. It certainly does not lead to a ‘green future’, as you are trying to deceive us. Such an idea could only have been born in the head of a Brussels official detached from reality! The Europeans I am talking to cannot believe that someone could seriously propose and implement such harmful solutions. I translate: Electric cars are neither cheap nor climate neutral. Their production is energy-intensive. Charging infrastructure is not available to many drivers. You are talking about climate, and you are destroying millions of jobs and making Europe dependent on raw materials from China and Africa. Yes, it is! The European Commission has been systematically destroying the transport industry for years, especially road transport in Central Europe. The mobility package, the Green Deal, emission restrictions, artificial bureaucratic barriers are all hitting hundreds of thousands of companies and millions of workers. We are talking so much about war threats here, and your ideas are aimed at lowering the level of transport safety in Europe. Do you really think that the transport of military supplies will be carried out by electric trucks? What's next? The electric tanks? People will not withstand your madness and will put you in order. You'll be swept away by common sense. And a question to the European Commission: when will you withdraw from the ban on the sale of new diesel cars from 2035?

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, The recent invasion of Polish airspace by Russian Federation drones is a brutal reminder that Europe does not live in a world of rainbow bubbles or ideological illusions – only in the realities of a creeping war. Europe has deliberately destroyed its economy, agriculture, industry and arms production. All in the name of a sick leftist ideology that leads to a loss of security. All your plan to save the world is playing in Putin's favor. Because every euro put into the ideological madness of the Green Deal instead of defence is just acting in the interest of the Kremlin and you are responsible for it. As regards Poland: First you financed Russia with Nord Stream, then you destroyed our economy, now you are pushing our immigrants to stop being safe from the east and west. And I speak here as a Polish MP and as a Polish citizen. The Poles do not want your Green Deal, your fight against coal, when drones fly over their heads, when rockets fall on their homes! Putin laughs when you, Mrs von der Leyen, talk about this climate nonsense. You are blind to international realities, you do not understand the world and you cannot provide the conditions for normality in Europe. We Poles understand that the security of our homeland depends primarily on our nation. Poland is a great nation that will never give up, that can never be broken. The Polish government must simply reject harmful EU policies and focus on Poland's interests.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Today, once again, Russian drones have repeatedly violated the Polish sky and our troops with NATO forces defended the security of Polish airspace. On the other hand, the European Commission, which is responsible for the economic and security of the Member States, is constantly acting against the interests of Europeans. After the destruction of European industry and security on our borders and streets, food security is now at risk. I'm talking about a deal with Mercosur. I am talking about the import of agricultural products from Ukraine. Poland, my homeland, needs real security and at the moment it turns out that because of your harmful policies - climate, energy, investment, financial, trade - you are more of a burden than a help to us. The European Union, led by Mrs von der Leyen, is a burden for European countries. It is an obstacle to Poland's security. This European Commission should resign.

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The European Commission has once again shown how much it does not understand the reality surrounding it, and in particular does not understand the economic situation of the Member States and takes decisions without the approval of the European Council. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 is not a climate plan, it is a plan to eradicate European industry, agriculture and transport. This is a poverty plan for millions of Europeans. Do you really not see that this ideological obsession with decarbonisation will destroy Europe's competitiveness? That instead of producing with us, everything will move outside the Union? That it won't affect the climate at all? That farmers, drivers, small businesses will all fall victim to this radical climate policy? Instead of protecting the climate, you will be importing products from countries like Mercosur, which are doing nothing with emissions. Your policy is pure hypocrisy. We say firmly not for this experiment on the peoples of Europe. Climate policy cannot be a tool of coercion and destruction. It is time to focus on developing industry and agriculture here in Europe.

Madam President, I'm sorry. This debate should resonate why the European Union is not an equal partner for the United States and China today. The huge trade deficit, technological dependency and, finally, industrial production approaching collapse are all the result of the European Commission’s actions, which are destroying the European economy. You are forcing Member States to invest in RES or electric cars, and you have made rare earths dependent on China. And today, China is using its dominance to limit Europe's sovereignty. Green ideology, the collapse of European industry, a sick plan in the form of a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, the fight against fossil fuels. This is the opposite of the policy that China and the United States are pursuing. Today, there is no firm and firm trade policy based on the interests of the Member States. The greatest continent under your rule will soon become a symbol of collapse, poverty and insecurity.

Mr President, thank you very much. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The process of enlarging the European Union is a fiction, and it must be said out loud. We are in our own crises, we cannot withstand global competition and we cannot provide basic security for citizens. To dream of a country immersed in war and chaos is almost indecent. Ukraine's accession to the European Union simply does not pay off for the member states. In addition, the unregulated borders of Ukraine, the huge rate of corruption and the lack of success in internal reforms make this discussion pointless. Supporters of the enlargement of the European Union are in fact opponents of European agriculture, transport or energy-intensive industries. If Europe is to survive crises and move forward, it must give up the messianism we are dealing with here. Already today, many industries have been placed on the altar of this matter. The European Union must focus on rebuilding its own strong economy and expelling illegal immigrants. We must stop jeopardizing the interests of European countries in the name of Ukraine. Therefore, there can be no extension.

Madam President, I'm sorry. We live in a world of enormous geopolitical tensions. In the immediate vicinity of the European Union there is a Russian-Ukrainian war, in the Middle East there is a conflict between Israel and Iran. The global order is increasingly threatened by global conflict. Meanwhile, the European Union has once again come to the conclusion that this is the best time to federalize under the guise of this threat and introduce a financial mechanism, the final beneficiary of which will be Germany. This is the cynical game of President von der Leyen, who has not yet explained the Pfizer affair, and today wants to arbitrarily decide on the armaments of the countries of the European Union. We Poles, as a nation particularly experienced by Russian imperialism, have been arming ourselves with power for years and dedicating nearly 5% of GDP to defence. When the Germans pumped Russian gas, we diversified our energy sources. This is the only way for Europe: Arm yourself and build your energy and economic independence. However, the European Union is obstructing this by pushing for climate regulations that are deadly for the economy and energy. Defence cannot be another sector in which the Brussels bureaucracy is entering. Everything the European Commission touches ends in disaster. EU regulations have ruined European industry, led to a wave of bankruptcies of European entrepreneurs and even endangered safety on the streets of our cities. Defence policy is such a strategic area nowadays that it would be better if the European Union stayed away from it. The main objective of the SAFE Regulation is to enrich Germany at the expense of European countries, not to strengthen security. The increase in the expenditures of nation states on armaments, cooperation with the United States and NATO is the only way to common security. We oppose another common debt, we oppose the European army and we oppose the reconstruction of German imperialism, to which the European Union has been serving in recent years. Start by spending as much on armaments as Poland.

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Today, we are faced with yet another attempt for the European Union, a response to unilateral decisions in the US trade policy that harm the interests of European companies. Transatlantic cooperation is important to us, but it must be based on partnership, not submission. Over the years, Europe has lost its competitiveness. The EU economy is growing at a much slower pace than the US or Asian economies. EU regulation stifles innovation. Climate policy increases production costs and bureaucracy discourages investors. Under these circumstances, we cannot talk about economic sovereignty. The answer cannot be more regulation or more green transitions that bring higher bills, not real jobs. We need to rebuild European industry, protect our market and demand a level playing field with every partner, including the United States. It's not about confrontation, it's about subjectivity. Europe must stop being a laboratory of ideology and start being a real economic force. To do this, it is necessary to break with the policies pursued for years by the left-liberal majority. The Union’s trade policy cannot be carried out on German orders. This is why the European Union-Mercosur FTA is only fit for the trash because it undermines Europe's food security. A trade war must be prevented. We need to repair relations with the United States, because it is still Europe's biggest ally and partner within NATO.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The worst response to Europe's dangers is what the European Union is doing. In recent years, the European Commission has been brazenly interfering in the judiciary, energy policy, financial policy and many other areas of the Member States. It breaks the treaties and uses every crisis to build a European superstate. The creeping process of federalisation of the European Union is underway before our very eyes, and this is confirmed by the subsequent conclusions following the European Council. The European Defence White Paper will be another bureaucratic tool of the European Commission, which, instead of supporting defence in Europe, will only limit the independence of Member States. Mrs. von der Leyen, we do not want you as Empress of Europe, to whom we will ask what tanks we are to buy. We also disagree with Germany's migration policy. Giving immigrants to their neighbours is precisely this European solidarity? European nations want cooperation. Yes, it is true, but they will never allow themselves to be stripped of their sovereignty and independence. These are black days in Europe, marked by further examples of undermining the fundamental principles of democracy. You have done this in Romania, and now you are excluding from public life the leader of the opposition in France. These are the values of the EU, this is democracy? Your plan to build a federation just won't work. Europe is a continent of great nations. Europe will win.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. The German migration policy “Welcome!” has brought an absolute disaster for the whole of Europe. Today we are witnessing its bankruptcy, and millions of Europeans have lost their sense of security on the streets of their own cities. Today, Europe needs a programme of mass deportation of immigrants. It's time to end the open-door policy, because every illegal immigrant is a criminal. Tossing migrants to neighbours or a migration pact exacerbates the problem instead of solving it. This only creates additional incentives for millions of potential newcomers. Germany has brought the problem on itself and is now trying to share it with other nations, which lowers the level of cooperation and trust, as well as breaks up the Schengen area. It is time to act decisively to stop immigration. It's time to deport criminals from our continent. It is time to fully implement the principles of the Budapest Declaration of the Patriots. This is the only way we can save Europe.

Madam President, Mr President, I would like to thank you very much. The European Union is trying to enchant reality with more laws, regulations, but in fact it is in a gigantic leadership crisis, an economic crisis and a security crisis. These are the fruits of the European Union. The European Commission is using the war in Ukraine and the crisis in relations with the US administration as a pretext to accelerate the construction of a European superstate. The real intention of the European Commission is not to help war-torn Ukraine or to solve any European problem. Further problems are just an excuse for the Union to seize further competences. We have already had proposals to amend the EU treaties, reform the decision-making process, including the abolition of the right of veto, and after the last meeting of the European Council we are given a decision on the next eurodebt, in order to then use these measures to financially blackmail nation states, as in the case of national reconstruction plans. We do not agree to transfer new competences to the Union. Now the EU supposedly wants to deal with the development of the arms industry in Europe. The best help that this Commission and this House can give Europe is to refrain from any action. Europe cannot be defended either by resolutions or by the centralised power of bureaucracy. Today, we need strong nation states like never before. They are supposed to act, they are supposed to develop their military industry and build a national army, decide for themselves what they need and in what quantities, not an anonymous official from Brussels.

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. It seems that the European Commission has finally understood how great a crime uncontrolled and mass immigration is in Europe. After a period of enthusiasm, then denial and denial, reflection has finally come to you. Europe is not safe and Europeans cannot feel safe on the streets of their cities. Instead of debating, we need to act. We demand an immediate deportation program for all illegal immigrants. We demand the immediate launch of a programme to combat criminal groups involved in human smuggling. We demand that this programme also extends its investigation to non-governmental organisations involved in helping to break the law and illegally cross the Union's external borders. We demand an immediate and absolute sealing of the Union's external borders. We demand that Member States have the full sovereign right to introduce additional, even stricter criteria. The European Commission faces a serious challenge in drafting the Return Directive, because until now the expulsion of an illegal immigrant has been an ineffective process and has been fraught with organisational and legal problems. If you can't do that, just resign. We, a group of patriots for Europe, put the interests of European citizens first. That is why we are determined to protect Europe's external borders, stop mass and uncontrolled immigration and preserve Europe's cultural identity and ensure the security of our citizens.

Madam President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I would like to thank you. Mr. Minister, I'm sorry. The United States has shaken off the influence of green lobbyists and returned to the path of common sense. Whether one likes it or not, there is a return to economic protectionism and a maximisation of efforts to restore competitiveness. How should the European Union respond? Eliminate the causes of loss of economic competitiveness. What does the European Union do? Exactly the opposite. In the name of German interests, he is trying to push through an agreement with the Mercosur countries that will destroy European agricultural production and make Europe dependent on food supplies. Instead of extracting fossil fuels, it wants to make Europe dependent on the sun and wind. Instead of opting for radical deregulation, freeing energy prices and entrepreneurship for Europeans, it creates tons of unnecessary regulations and documents, leading to a massive collapse of companies. All this because someone thinks that by zero-emissions in Europe we will save the planet. Don't you see that the Chinese, and now the Americans, are just laughing at us? The recent decisions of the new US administration are in fact the most aggressive move in international trade in decades. If the new tariffs apply for a longer period of time, the United States' trade relations will radically change and, in a way, paralyze the global economy. What is the response of the European Commission, which decides on behalf of all of us on the trade and economic policy of the Union? Absolutely not what Europe needs. What should be your first step? Support for the Patriots for Europe initiative suspending the European Green Deal. This is a real opportunity for Europe.

Madam President, Commissioner, Prime Minister, thank you very much. No specifics, no ideas, no solutions. All these round words that the Lord has spoken now have nothing to do with reality. You present yourself today as the savior of Europe, and yet you were and are the architect of this system that is leading Europe to collapse. Now, together with von der Leyen and earlier with Merkel, you have led to a loss of competitiveness, insecurity on the streets and growing poverty in Europe. Do you want to revise climate policy? But where were you when it was implemented? Were you sometimes the President of the European Council, and then the head of the European People's Party, without the votes of which this green madness would not exist? It was, among other things, you, Mr Tusk, who condemned your compatriots to the highest energy prices in the world. You have put the fight against climate disinformation on the agenda of the Polish Presidency. Is this how you want to fight the critics of your politics now? Is this your freedom of speech? You talked about the security of the external borders. And where were you and your formation when in defence of Poland and Europe it was necessary to build a wall on the border with Belarus? Let me remind you: You wanted to let in illegal immigrants and voted against the construction of a barrier at the border. At that time, you were on the side of Putin and Lukashenko. You present yourself as an opponent of the Pact on Migration and Asylum. And who threatened their own people with sanctions for opposing the relocation system? It was you, wasn't it? You may pretend to be a rational and reasonable politician here, but you are a hypocritical fraud. Ursula von der Leyen has anointed you as the Polish Prime Minister and since then you have been acting like a Polish governor, like a governor. And since then you have been acting like a German governor in Poland, because you are foreign to the Polish national interest. Prime Minister, the Polish people and all the free people of Europe demand immediate withdrawal from the European Green Deal, lower energy prices, start deporting illegal immigrants and guarantee freedom of speech and internet. Since you're so important here...

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Digital Service Act introduces dangerous changes in online content management. It is simply sanctioning online censorship. Theoretically, it is supposed to protect the rights of users. In practice, it provides, among other things, for the removal of real messages that EU or local authorities consider harmful to society. The Digital Service Act restricts free speech by introducing censorship and algorithmic oversight through arbitrary moderation mechanisms. Protecting against disinformation becomes a pretext for the Union to control content. This is very important in the context of what happened recently in Romania and what former Commissioner Thierry Bretton said a few days ago. After the cancellation of the presidential elections in Romania, you can do the same in Germany, and then probably in Poland. You are not Democrats. You have started to fight against democracy as soon as it ceases to be conducive to you. You are building a new Soviet Union in Europe. Are these really your values? If the winner of the election is someone not from you, then you can just remove it, because it is disinformation?

Commissioner, I'm sorry. In Poland, in recent weeks, the ‘Last Generation’ group has been terrorising residents of the Polish capital, Warsaw, blocking the streets of the city. I have no doubt that you, supporters of the climateism religion, cynically support these ideas that burden the Polish economy and make life difficult for ordinary citizens. However, these poor young people most likely have already acquired anxiety, because someone told them that in a moment we will all burn alive. Europe is responsible for 7% of global carbon emissions. Do you not understand that we can even turn off the lights and move to the caves, but on a global scale it will not change anything anyway. All this European Green Deal of yours is just a nail in the coffin for the EU economy and for the well-being of Europeans. You have introduced an atmosphere of psychosis that has so confused people's minds that even the favorite of the presidential election in my country, Rafał Trzaskowski, who believed that we would burn in a moment, succumbed to it. Stop playing with people's fears, play with people's fears, and throw all that Green Deal in the trash.

Madam President, thank you very much. One can get the impression that the European Council deals with absolutely everything, but not the citizens of the European Union. Ukraine, Georgia, the Middle East are all important topics. But how much longer do you intend to make the world happy when Europeans are impoverished because of the policies pursued by the European Commission? The streets of European cities are becoming less safe, electricity prices are raging and the EU economy is in a state of collapse. That's what leaders should start talking about. On the subject of Ukraine, I would like to make it clear that there will be no consent from the Polish people and, I am sure, also from other societies in Central and Eastern Europe to send our soldiers, our troops, to Ukraine. Something that has begun to smolder in the heads of Brussels, something that President Macron timidly mentions, cannot simply happen. We will not guard the Ukrainian front so that the Germans return to business with the Russians. Just get it out of your head.

Mr President, thank you very much. According to you, democratic and fair elections are when your candidates win and you censor and destroy your critics and opposition. This is the definition of EU democracy presented by the Brussels elite. You showed this when the peoples of France and the Netherlands rejected the Constitution for Europe in 2005. You have shown this by introducing instruments of financial blackmail, by manipulating elections in Poland. After all, it was your colleague Katarina Barley who directly said that Poland and Hungary must be financially starved. You are destroying freedom of speech and political debate in Europe. I am in the group that you put in the cordon sanitaire to exclude us from working in the European Parliament. Ursula von der Leyen is today the Empress of Europe so much that in the name of German interests she signed a contract with Mercosur against France and Poland. You are driving the European economy to economic disaster and society to poverty. If there is a problem with democracy in Europe, it is certainly in the institutions of the European Union. Today you are happy that the Romanian people have been robbed of the elections because a man you do not like won there, who does not dance when you play him. Your dream is not democracy, but censorship of the media, politicians and even ordinary citizens. The European Union is the last organisation to have the right to teach the peoples of Europe about the rule of law and democracy. Attention! Soon the free nations of Europe will settle your affairs, your whims and your hypocrisy.

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Recently, there has been a lot of talk in this House about the future of Europe, and that future is in black. Economic crisis, demographic crisis, migration and cultural crisis. We are standing at the bottom of the abyss, at the bottom of which lurks poverty, human suffering, social conflicts and perhaps even civil and religious wars in many European countries. What is the reaction of this House and mainstream politicians in Europe? Your recipe is more of the same. Europe is committing collective suicide with your hands before our very eyes. Let's take agriculture. Many spells have already fallen from your lips, many empty promises. You are signing more international free trade agreements, you are introducing more stupid regulations that either endanger the health of Europeans or mean the elimination of more branches of agriculture. I call for a review of the common agricultural policy and a halt to the free trade agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur countries, which is detrimental to European agriculture. What we need most now is less and less of the European Union.
