Debate contributions by Jacek OZDOBA

Mr President, thank you very much. I must admit that the ability to call things beautiful is your specialty, in fact propaganda. Because the Green Deal is really a rotten deal. And the rule of law? Everyone wants the rule of law. But when we look at what you're talking about, it's all about controlling the governments of the countries in question. An example is the National Recovery Plan. When the conservative-centric party in Poland ruled, you said that you could not, because you had to fulfill this, this and this. A new government has arrived. The colleague Donald Tusk came and suddenly it turned out that without changes these funds are unfrozen. And it went to swinger clubs, different yachts, it went to friends, it went to the wife of the Member - it's all OK. But all this bullshit is just to control, to create a superstate that the Europeans never agreed to. So I am surprised that there were also words in this room – I would like to draw attention to this – that Mrs Katarina Barley, a German woman, spoke about starvation. Really, if a German woman is talking about starving anyone, let her think about what she's saying.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Ladies and Gentlemen, We suggest adding that the European Parliament: Calls on the European Commission and the Council to take action to draw consequences for those responsible for the so-called reset in the European Union’s relations with the Russian Federation and for the promotion and implementation of economic projects that have contributed to Europe’s increased energy dependence on Russia, and consequently to the current security crisis and war against Ukraine; Stresses that Gerhard Schröder should be sanctioned by the European Union and that his case should be a symbolic example of a lack of acceptance of attitudes contrary to the values and interests of the European Union.

Dear President, Ladies and Gentlemen, The recipe for a good single market can be fulfilled on Thursday. That's Ursula von der Leyen's appeal. Europe can count CO2 emissions in tonnes2, and cannot count how many factories, how many jobs are being pushed out of Europe. Europe pays two to three times more for energy than other countries in the world. But we also pay three or four times more for ideology. And this is the best answer to what should be done on Thursday, i.e. cancel Ursula von der Leyen, which is harmful for Europe, for the market. Europe is becoming carbon-free as it ceases to have jobs. Europe is becoming carbon-free as it ceases to have factories. It ceases to have places of production. Europe is dependent on external sources. Over the last few years, Europe has not moved forward, it has even collapsed. And we look at this agony, which means danger. Loss of sovereignty, Mercosur, or read: agriculture, the supply of various raw materials, products, all this has made dependency and the collapse of Europe before our very eyes. The answer to all this is Thursday. You can cancel Ursula von der Leyen.

Mr President, I'm sorry. There is no worse attitude in this room than hypocrisy. A bunch of hypocrites, who recently, like puppeteers, ran with pizza or sleeping bags, disturbing order on the Polish border. Where was the European Union when Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 were built? Where were your representatives from the European People's Party when Ursula von der Leyen spoke yesterday about accelerating climate targets? When Putin builds drones, arms himself, we slaughter European industry, deprive Europe of food security – read Mercosur – deprive energy security – Energiewende Strategy. Because you have windmills in your head. Because you're saying what? Will it be an independent source of energy? That's all you're doing in this room, that's pure pro-Russian politics. Ursula von der Leyen was the Minister of National Defence in Angela Merkel's government. And you are surprised today that Putin is sending drones? Well, the poor. Hypocrisy and history have long judged you and show that, unfortunately, you have led to this crisis that is pouring over the eastern border of the European Union. The funding for armaments is an adequate response, not your ideological fables.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you're talking about Gaza. Such a small correction: The conflict started earlier. It was the Polish border that was pushed forward when the European Union attacked Polish ministers for defending our borders. It was 2008, recalled here by Marshal Brudziński, when Lech Kaczyński spoke in Tbilisi about what was happening with Russia: Georgia today, Ukraine tomorrow, then the Baltic States, and finally my country, Poland. And on the other side was your compatriot, Gerhard Schröder. Do you want it to be persona non grata? For this man to be banned from entering the European Union? Because, as far as I know, he has not been effectively sanctioned, and he is responsible for financing, among other things, any blood that has flowed from the Russian troops.

Madam President, the situation is urgent. Russian drones fell in Poland, and you say that the topic of the debate was decided on Monday. Tomorrow we are discussing the Congo, not the situation in Poland. It's outrageous what you're doing. If, again, drones fall in Berlin, are we also to say that the topic was fixed on Monday? It's not in your head.

Madam President, I'm sorry. I've tried it here a few times. I'll wait until there's a translation. Thank you very much, because this vote is a little late, but you said that the agenda for the debate is set on Monday. When the drones fall on Berlin, should we also say that the topic was set on Monday? The European Parliament's response should be immediate. The point on the resolution related to the situation in Poland and in the European Union should be a firm response. You, as the European People's Party, want to discuss the European army... (The Chair interrupted the speaker)

Mr President, thank you very much. At every point where we touch on the subject of cars, it is necessary to recall one problem that the European Union is creating, in a few years we will begin to function in a world where the ban on the registration of combustion cars, the work of the Party of the European People's Party, i.e. also the Civic Platform, will begin to enter into force. And all the cars we're going to register are going to be electric cars. This electromobility will mean exclusion, it will mean poverty, it will mean gigantic problems. This is not only an increase in insurance costs, but also the cost of use, lack of infrastructure, increase in energy demand. The whole reform or actually change the system of operation of high-voltage lines. It all means disaster. And today we should put this point as the main one to throw away this idiotic idea of the European People's Party and only later should we move on to the next free market solutions for the circular economy when it comes to the current automotive industry.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Let's start with the fact that there should already be a stronger debate on the Multiannual Financial Framework, which will cause us a real catastrophe. You are talking about the pension system, and you will read there about issues related to the debt of the next generations. Turning to this report, which we are discussing here, the European taxes in the form of the ETS should be thrown out immediately. If you want to make life easier for Europeans, including Spaniards, throw out both ETS and Mercosur. And I have this question: Are you in favour of putting the whole Green Deal in the trash?

Madam President, Commissioner! You will be the gravedigger of European agriculture. Hands off the Polish farmer. Hands off all farmers in the European Union. Your idea in the form of Mercosur will lead to the fact that people on wheelbarrows will just take you out. In the name of some business that will have to be clarified, perhaps the committee of inquiry here will be the best subject to take up this discussion someday, you want to kill European agriculture. So let me stress once again – leave European agriculture alone. And if anyone thinks otherwise, then in two hours you have a vote on Ursula von der Leyen, at least abstain. But if you support Mercosur, the Green Deal, the migration crisis, the crisis with the United States, you will vote for her to remain in office. And if you want to throw it all in the trash, that is, you want a Europe that is right about the state of the Europe of nations, you will vote to leave the European Commission building.

Mr President, thank you very much. Mr. Commissioner, I'm sorry. Make America great again, make Europe great again – these are the words that matter, because if Europe wants to be competitive today, if it wants to talk about trade, it has to go back to its roots, it has to throw away or throw away all the ideological ideas that are in this room. Hundreds of hours of discussion on topics that are not later reflected in good solutions for the economy. Drill, baby, drill, says the President of the United States. What does Europe say? Let's shut down the industry, block the development of companies, add additional taxes, come up with some ideological aspects, bans on registration of diesel cars, and America is reviving and starting to function in a normal way. So if today Europe wants to be competitive and wants to have good trade with the United States, first of all on Thursday, cancel Ursula von der Leyen, because today she also has the face of failure in relations with the United States, because today Europe, the European economy, is suffering the consequences of this misguided policy.

Mr President, thank you very much. The Middle East is burning. Ukraine is burning. We have a migration crisis, an economic crisis. We don't have a gun. And you're debating that Orban has banned children from attending a parade where men walk in thongs and muzzles. I think it's normal to protect children from any strange behavior. Instead of talking about real problems, you are dealing with something that is in your heads. I don't see a need here – it's for those who laugh: Mr Śmiszek, Mr Wawrynkiewicz and others – to debate your sexual preferences and to talk about who is going out on the street. As for the children: Hungary defends the youngest against such images simply not being in front of them. It is an ordinary right to preserve the child's rights to development without any negative stimuli, without any images. I don't know if in Warsaw a parade with you in a muzzle or a thong is something that is natural. I think that this is a substitute topic and we should absolutely address Europe's problems, not stupidities.

I wanted to ask you, if you go to this parade, would you come to this building on a leash and muzzle, for example? Because this form, as you can see, is becoming very popular among men at the parade. Of course, that doesn't apply to you, but if your male friends want to go, you should pay attention to them, but they should behave like people.

Madam President, I'm sorry. First of all, the funds of the National Recovery Plan have become an instrument for influencing, among other things, how the elections in the countries concerned looked like. An example is Poland, where, as the cheeky German woman Katarina Barley said, she was going to starve Poland with financial means. Unfortunately, that was also the case. Despite the crisis, economic situation, despite the war in Ukraine, hospitals or other institutions did not receive money, because it was a political decision. So from this point of view, I would like to appeal to consider why EU member states, such as Poland of course, were politically blocked from funding. Ursula von der Leyen or Katarina Barley in a brazen, arrogant way influenced elections in democratic countries. The funds were affected, blocking them in order only to change a given prime minister in Poland, who, as I understand, counted on receiving funds without a legislative change. And this shows that this is a violation of the law by EU commissioners.

From your speech, I have such a conclusion, actually such a remark, that not everything that is different from your view should be called extreme. Because looking at your views from the Polish perspective, unfortunately from the experience of the country where communism was, you are closer to this former system than to the one currently in force, i.e. democratic freedom. So I would advise you to bite your tongue and tolerate the views of others, because so far you are intolerant in this room, as is the whole left you represent.

Mr President, thank you very much. Let's start with the fact that I fully agree with what my previous speaker said. There is inflation in Europe, there is a migration crisis, and we in this room are dealing, as usual, with something that has been taken out of context and twisted. How is it possible that this ball on the Titanic is still doing its best when we have a gigantic crisis. Why don't we start debating what's going on in some countries like my country, Poland, where a murderer who's been sentenced to life in prison gets out of jail and the question is where he is? This is a question for the minister, who cannot answer it at a press conference, because it turns out that you can get out of prison, even if you are a murderer. But we can go further. How is it possible that an opposition leader in France is being convicted? How is it possible that in Romania certain stories are invented that are aimed at twisting democracy? So, of course, have fun. The next elections will show that right-wing forces in Europe will become even more important. And Vice President Vance told you exactly that democracy is at stake in Europe, and it is good that we debate democracy, not that parents have the right to raise their children according to their own assumptions, their own beliefs. Hungary gives freedom, protects children from this ideological march, which wants to transform children into such an unknown structure. There are two genders. This is obvious and no one should argue with it anymore. Even the European People's Party is already changing its mind.

Mr President, thank you very much. In order to have a good relationship, you must first of all respect yourself. What do you call a situation where one of the leading politicians of the European People's Party targeted Donald Trump by pretending, as I understand it in a shooting gesture? It just so happens that two Donalds don't necessarily like each other. And the recent president of the European People's Party decided to take a path that Ursula von der Leyen herself did not want to take because she was afraid of Donald Trump. Democracy has decided otherwise. Only if we compare Europe to a ship, and the United States, then Donald Trump as a good captain wants to sail to the wide seas and wants to seize the sea, wants to create new infrastructure. Unlike Europe, because Ursula von der Leyen, what kind of captain drowns his own ship? Today she announced that we need to think about the ETS. And who introduced it? The European People's Party itself. And one more thing: we need to review the relationship between the European Parliament and the United States in the European Parliament. Because if there are people in the group between the United States and Europe who call, like Michał Szczerba, whether they point to Trump's place in the dumpster, it certainly does not bode well for good relations. That is why people like Michał Szczerba should be expelled from the European Parliament's group with the United States.

Mr President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, When I listen to the representatives of the European People's Party or the left-hand side of the room, I really wonder what is wrong with them. I think it's a symptom of a disease. For one simple reason, they come out here and talk about agriculture, they talk about problems, and yet yesterday farmers protested against their ideas. After all, it was yesterday that farmers took to the streets, because they are tired of what you want to do, i.e. interfere in every area of functioning. What is more, how many minutes ago did the vote on the European Commission take place? After all, this is the same President of the European Commission. I just have one suggestion for you: Don't make any promises, just leave the farmers alone. Why regulate what they tan, how they function? Every living space of a farmer is regulated by you today. We should carry freedom, while politicians decide for someone, and someone does not want something, it is probably politicians who should think about what to do with it. You are gravediggers of industry, gravediggers of agriculture. If you say that climate change will stop, I wonder who educated you? Because if you think that India, Brazil, the United States, China will listen to Europe and a few leftists, then you are wrong. You can't wash, you can't drive, but that's your business. It warns you against farmers, all the more Polish, and against the regulation of every area of European life.

Madam President, thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen, Let us start with the fact that the current governments in the European Union are responsible for today's crisis. It was none other than Ursula von der Leyen or the German partners of the European People's Party who caused the crisis, which they are beginning to criticize today. They're starting to say something needs to be done. How is it that in matters of energy policy, Germany has paved the way and then they say that it went wrong? Green climate – then went badly. In migration matters, the same applies to the internal security problem. Suddenly it turns out that there are attacks, there are problems. But there is a country like Poland where there is no such problem. But the Polish voice must be strong and all countries must stand up for the Republic for one simple reason: because when our borders were attacked – and not by migrants, but by hybrid warfare: Vladimir Putin and Lukashenka exploited migrants, various types of immigrants, refugees – these were the political forces that attacked the Polish government. It is true that my compatriot, Szczerba, who ran with pizza, or other obstacles, pests, when it comes to the security of the Republic, is not in the room here, but we must stop tolerating policies that destroy Europe. That's why we have to expel illegal immigrants. If someone messes up, falls into someone's house, a man takes him by the tailcoats and throws him out the door. This should be the state of affairs that we should push through today.

Ladies and Gentlemen, As is the case with mobile phones. The mobile phone won with the landline phone not because there was a landline phone ban, but because the free market decided so. But there was no top-down ban on landline phones. The same should be true for cars. So the argument that we need to impose a top-down ban is anti-market, all the more so because European competition is losing. It is not in my interest to defend the automotive industries, whose leading country is Germany, but I do not understand why Europe pushes the automotive industry out of Europe, creating places of unemployment, throwing people on the pavement, and wants to import technology that does not come from Europe. Therefore, let's put on the free market and eliminate these top-down bans.

Madam President, thank you very much. Since we are on the subject of crime, it is worth paying attention to what is happening in Poland. Namely, an illegally appointed person who appears to be a national prosecutor has led to a constitutional crisis. The government of Donald Tusk takes over the prosecutor's office by force, despite the fact that there are no such possibilities due to the lack of the president's signature. Constitutional guarantees have been violated. But what's going on right now? Namely, in a country that is adjacent to Belarus, Ukraine, which is undergoing a hybrid war, prosecutors who were seconded to the National Prosecutor's Office, dealing with cyber security, were expelled overnight. Free Europe, Poland thanked the best specialists in the fight against crime. Sitting here in the room, Minister Sienkiewicz illegally took over Polish Television in a few minutes. The notary Joanna K. had to leave because she was afraid of the consequences, so immediately, unlawfully, an attempt was made to dismiss the national prosecutor. And what happened next? In these dozen or so minutes, an interesting takeover of an institution that deals with public media was to take place illegally. And it so happened that this new prosecutor, the one who usurps himself, claims to be a national prosecutor, suddenly decides that the prosecutor supervising this very procedure is taken away from him. And this is to be called the rule of law by some EU politicians. Therefore, today, in the face of the aggression of the Russian Federation, what is happening, the demolition of the security system, the throwing out of the streets of prosecutors who deal with the fight against spies, is anti-EU and anti-European.

Mr President, thank you very much. The European Union did not pass the energy test because energy has become a tool in the hands of Vladimir Putin. Germany is responsible for the energy crisis for one simple reason: Nord Stream. Nord Stream is a conscience that should be touched in Berlin, because if it were not for Berlin's marriage to Moscow, there would probably not be a situation in Ukraine. Coal, gas and atom are the only stable sources of energy that can function at the moment. The fight against coal is understandable due to certain climate issues, but if we are moving away from coal, why not focus on atom? Because we were betting on gas, because there was the Energiewende strategy, because Berlin invented a business together with the Russian Federation and European families paid for it all. What was needed for all this was an artificial tax – a European emissions trading system, an artificial tax that makes industry and European families pay more and more. Industry is being pushed out of Europe because speculators invented it. Instead of understanding all this, Europe is moving in the direction of the energy crisis. This can be transferred in a virtual way, even for the sake of fairy tales. Did they want the Flintstones? Well, I guess so, because the Jetsons are not realistic to introduce today. Why is that? For one simple reason. An energy crisis is when there is no stable source of energy. And if we don't have coal, we don't have gas, and we don't have an atom, what do we choose? It does not always shine, nor does it always blow in the right way. Therefore, the European Union, if it does not reform its approach and reject artificial mechanisms, will lead to another crisis and once again give a tool that Vladimir Putin has already used.
