Now, almost a minute after 16, i.e. after this debate has now been closed, I would like to give the floor to Mrs Demirel again, in accordance with Rule 173 of the Rules of Procedure, and this is a personal comment. Members who ask for the floor for a personal comment – and this was obviously the sign they gave me and not a further intervention in the spontaneous intervention procedure – have the right to speak at the end of the debate on this item on the agenda, which is currently being discussed, but only in person. That is to say, not on the subject of the debate, but only on this personal comment made to you by other speakers.

European Central Bank - annual report 2022 (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner, Madam President Lagarde! The numbers say it, and people feel it: Life is no longer affordable for many people. Inflation – you said it, President Lagarde – rose to 8.5% in January 2023. We have to do something about that. And the European Central Bank does the same: It raises the key interest rate. The common economic theory is that if inflation is high, you have to raise interest rates to cool the economy that is running too hot. But the economy was not too hot. The inflation crisis is the product of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine, which has caused energy prices to soar. Speculation and inappropriate increases in profit margins do the rest. So we have a supply shock. And here a simple increase in the key interest rate, as the European Central Bank does, will not be enough and an aggressive rate increase carries risks of a recession and problems for people with loans. Therefore, further steps towards an interest rate increase should be waited for. Fiscal policy measures are needed to effectively counteract the inflation crisis. As always in business: Those who say monetary policy must also do fiscal policy. Without it, it won't work.

The EU priorities for the 67th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (debate)
Date:
14.02.2023 13:52
| Language: DE
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Let me start today's speech with a simple question: Why is Siri female? Why is Alexa female? My provocative answer is: Because we are used to women working with us, having good ideas, working insanely efficiently, but somehow always just being assistants – in the case of language assistants – and then it is mainly the men in Silicon Valley who are developing the digital world – predominantly. Women can do everything that men can. Women can do IT, women can do digital – we all know that. And yet we have to keep repeating it so that even those who don't want to hear it can hear it, so that those who want to keep us women small can hear it. And that is precisely why it is so extremely important that the UN Convention on the Rights of Women meets and that we continue to advance equality year after year – together and globally – so that there are no more three more generations – up to my great-great-granddaughter – until women are finally on an equal footing. A girl growing up today needs to know that it can be anything, that it can be anything: Astronaut, roofer, site manager, cyber security expert – whatever she wants. And that is why it is of course also important that we, the European Parliament, often pioneers in so many gender equality issues, also get a correspondingly important role in New York in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Woman, that we have the hearing, that we can also act accordingly. We have a lever in our hands with politics that we can use to ensure that women, no matter where they are born, have the same opportunities as men. To conclude with the words of the great feminist Johanna Dohnal, who would have turned 84 today: “We wait a long time for goodwill. Women have always achieved only what they have fought for themselves." And that is what we do together globally, globally.
