Markus Frohnmaier, December 19, 2025, U.S. National Security Strategy

German Bundestag, Plenarprotokoll 21/51, pp. 6139-6140. 

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

The foreign policy spokesman of the CDU, Jürgen Hardt, lost himself [verstieg sich] in a remarkable analysis of the new National Security Strategy of the United States. He called it – and I cite: “AfD nonsense”, which somehow found access into American strategy. You hear correctly: In the bizarre, imaginary world of the Union, the AfD is no longer only remote-controlled from Moscow. No, now we even guide the pen of U.S. President Donald Trump for his National Security Strategy. We are the auto-pen, when wanted. 

Who looks away from CDU propaganda to reality nevertheless quickly recognizes: Godfather of the strategy was not the AfD, but healthy human understanding. 

            Boris Mijatović (Greens): Nice that you confirm the distinction.

In the introduction, it says – Listen: “The purpose of foreign policy is the protection of the core national interests; that is the sole focus of this strategy” [*https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf, 1]. A sentence like a rock, a sentence for the ages! And now compare this sentence for once with the expressions of Foreign Minister Wadephul this week, who justified the flying in of Afghans at taxpayers expense. Wadephul said, I cite: “I see in each refugee a creature of God.” 

            Peter Beyer (CSU/CSU): Do you see it differently?

Herein appears the fundamental rupture. The U.S.A. makes an interests-guided Realpolitik, the Federal government continues to make a values-guided, feelings policy. Only the flavor has been shifted a bit. Under the Green Baerbock, the foreign policy was feminist, under the Christian Democrat Wadephul, it is now pastoral. Church day sayings are Wadephul’s foreign policy offering. That is no policy change, and that is no “left is past”. That is old wine in new bottles. 

Donald Trump said what the German foreign policy for decades sought to deny: States have no friends, states also have no values, at least not in foreign policy. States have interests. And who believes foreign policy is a study circle for values friendships, he errs not only like the Union, but treads underfoot our German interests. 

            Deborah Düring (Greens): Which interests do you then represent?

The misfortune of values-guided foreign policy is chronic double-morality and impotence. Frau Baerbock was so feminist that she fed the Islamist regime of al-Julani in Syria with millions of euros of German tax money. In thanks, the latter refused to shake her hand and ordered the massacre of minorities. A truly great moment in feminist diplomacy

Wadephul prates: “Each refugee is a creature of God.” Yet does he overtake every refugee on this planet to Germany? Naturally not, even if the Union would perhaps gladly do it. Such statements are thus cheap courage free of cost. Out of the mouth of a German foreign minister, they are a declaration of political bankruptcy. At the end of the day, you sell to the population values promises which in the hard reality are not to be kept, and which, with permission, in the migration policy also should not be kept. 

How refreshingly clear on the other hand is the U.S. American strategy. Cite: 

            “We want full control over our borders, over our immigration system,                                        and over transportation networks through which people come to our                                                          country – legally and illegally.”[*, 3]

Why exists no German paper which expresses this self-evident thing, why does there exist no German paper which clearly says this? A glance at the government bench here delivers the answer: This government has no strategy, this government is incapable of strategy. 

It is revealing there is just one, single area in which the CDU/CSU is suddenly not at all interested in political values. Cite from the U.S. Strategy: 

            “The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and                      other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty,               migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife,                                                   censorship of free speech, and” 

– listen well, dear colleagues of the Union –

             “suppression of political opposition, cratering of birthrates, and loss of national                                      identities and self-confidence.” [*, 25] 

End citation from the U.S. Security Strategy.

Ja, ladies and gentlemen, your anti-democratic, even wicked machinations do not remain hidden on that side of the Atlantic. A wrong word on the net? House search! Criticism of migration? A case for the Constitution Defense! Engagement in an association? Only with the correct party book! Election success of the opposition? Verbieten! – that is your policy. You have changed Germany into a attitude-state, into a woke, open-air prison. 

            Johannes Fechner (SPD):  Rubbish!

And when the U.S.A. holds up the mirror to you, you react with whining and are outraged. That is the hideous reality which you yourselves have created. 

            Johannes Fechner (SPD): You don’t believe that yourself! You yourself                                need to laugh!

In that regard, it would nevertheless be so simple. The Americans write, cite: 

            “America [Die Vereinigten Staaten] is, understandably, sentimentally [emotional]                                        attached to the European continent” [*, 26] 

Naturally, since it is ultimately so that descendents of Europeans have settled the American continent. Therefore: Who so acts as to estrange America from Europe, who estranges the growing child from the parents, he lies. America does not estrange itself. Yet America has no  desire for parents who have given up. America has no interest in European and German self-abnegation. Unlike you, the U.S.A. wants no Europe, no Germany, which degenerates into an authoritarian, Islamized Moloch, incapable of alliance. 

            Johannes Fechner (SPD): Such rubbish!

What Washington demands is nothing new. It is something which my party, the AfD, demands for many years in this house. Dear colleagues, finally end the course of civilizational self-abnegation. The U.S. strategy is no affront, the U.S. strategy is a blueprint. We require no priggish church day sayings, 

            Boris Mijatović (Greens): Were you ever at a church day, Herr Frohnmaier? 

we require a return to Realpolitik

            Johannes Fechner (SPD): Where actually is your delegation? 

we require a Politik which our border, our sovereignty, 

            Johannes Fechner (SPD): Not ten people are there! 

and our identity defends without compromise. 

            Johannes Fechner (SPD): Where are the people? 

Ladies and gentlemen – and to the hecklers in this place – I can only simply say again to you: Listen for once! Then perhaps even your Politik finally becomes better. You would thereby render to the citizens in Germany at Christmas a great service; since the citizens in Germany have a nose full of the bad Politik of the old parties. 

            Johannes Fechner (SPD): Weak speech!

Tomasz Froelich, January 20, 2026, Human Rights

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2026)01-20(2-0515-0000). 

Frau President. 

The EU has understood nothing: Geopolitically irrelevant, economically ever weaker, demographically catastrophic. Yet still self-conscious enough so as to tutor the entire world. You want more money for NGOs? Why? To de-stabilize countries which you you don’t like –  “regime change” inclusive. You explain abortion as a human right. Thus the birth-rates break down. You complain of the global recession of democracy. Yet in Europe elections are annulled, politicians are excluded from these, party bans are pondered. You want to force gender ideology on the whole world. Zero respect for national sovereignty. Zero respect for other cultures. As a patriot, I respect other cultures. I only do not want that they replace mine. That makes for  variety. You only talk about it. You want simplicity [Einfalt]. You want that the whole world dances to your pipe. That is values imperialism. That is neo-colonialism. That is unsympathetic. That is arrogant. That is a reason Europe becomes ever more irrelevant. Shame! We require no  action plan for human rights and democracy. We require an action plan for Realpolitik, for remigration, and for re-industrialization.

Hans Neuhoff, December 17, 2025, U.S.A., Europe, Russia

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)12-17(3-0028-0000). 

Frau President. Colleagues. 

The U.S.A.’s national security strategy shows that the international relations will be newly ordered. It is a goal of the United States to now obtain a strategic settlement [Ausgleich] with other great powers. From that follows that Europe in the future needs to overtake more responsibility for its own security. It thus does not lie in the European interest to make the Ukraine into a total front state, into a steely porcupine on Russia’s border. Let us not forget: The Russian military possesses in regards critical weapons systems a development advantage of 20 years. Colleagues, the leader of the NATO intelligence service declared at the beginning of this year, not a single piece of evidence is available to him that Russia after the Ukraine war wants to attack an EU member state. Therefore stop intimidating the people of Europe with ever new tales of menace. Let us finally begin a serious and constructive dialogue – and with the Russian Federation.

Marc Jongen, December 18, 2025, European Democracy Shield

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)12-17(3-0212-0000). 

Herr President. 

Let us openly say it: The so-called European Democracy Shield does not protect the democracy, but the rulers from the will of the people. It is an instrument for the suppression of the opposition and thus for the prevention of the democracy. George Orwell himself cannot better think up the name. From disinformation and foreign influence you want to protect the people? In truth, the citizens shall be kept away from free information, so that they only receive a hearing of the official narrative and the propaganda of the EU. We remember Twitter before the acquisition by Elon Musk – an apparat of woke censorship and propaganda. Thus now the open war against Musk – because he made X into a platform of free speech, he will be covered with 120 million in fines and threats. Yet in Germany also will quite ordinary and innocent citizens be rung out of bed in the morning by the police because they expressed a wrong opinion in social media. 

However, Frau Geese, you today have let the mask fall, and quite openly said what it is about for you and your red-green friends – right-conservative parties should be kept away from power. And in Roumania we could, ja, observe what that enjoins. There, at Brussels’s bidding, the presidential election was annulled, the independent canididate Georgescu excluded, on account of alleged Russian influence. A coup d’état under cover of the protection of democracy. And this template you now want to make the rule throughout Europe. Please no longer mouth the name of  democracy. You are anti-democrats.

René Aust, December 17, 2025, European Security and the U.S.A.

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)12-17(3-0098-0000). 

Herr President. 

For ten years were we of the AfD denigrated by you as militarists and as anti-Americans because we demanded investing in strategic autonomy, because we wanted that we invest in our capability and readiness in security policy. You have instead denied the reality. Barack Obama said already in the year 2011 that the U.S.A. would develop itself into a pacific country and that it is no longer desired to tie up additional forces in Europe. 

You have for 15 years squandered security policy on this continent. You have brought us to the dependency and to the dead end. On that account, you are also the wrong ones to bring us out again, since you now fall into the other extreme. From years-long, with the CDU even decades-long, submission vis-à-vis the U.S.A., you now fall into the extreme of insulting an entire government, even though there continues to be a large security policy dependency on the U.S.A. Numerous terror attacks, just lately in lower Bavaria, could nevertheless only be prevented because we have the U.S. American secret services information placed at our disposal. You risk with your anti-American course the security of Germans. We want authentic cooperation without submission and without pandering. We want an authentic partnership without anyone prescribing to us into which countries we have to send our soldiers, yet plainly also without instructions and affronts to other parts of the world.

Anja Arndt, December 16, 2025, Automobile CO2 Limits

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)12-16(2-0472-0000). 

Frau President. 

Our automobile branch finds itself, due to technically unfulfillable CO2 limit values which were decided here in parliament, in this dramatic situation. For this year were around 15 billion in penalties imposed. How absurd and cynical is all of that actually? The EU decrees are the origin and ought to be immediately lifted. They are politically negligent incompetence [Pfusch]. And now we see the consequences. 

I now want today for once to turn the tables. You as Commission, due to the EU Decree 2023/851, are obligated to put forward by December 31, 2025, the long overdue method for measuring the CO2 emissions over the entire life-cycle of e-autos and combustion engines. Why do you withhold this report? I can well imagine and hereby propose that against the Commission a penalty be imposed if this report by December 31… 

(The President withdraws the word from the speaker.)

Alexander Jungbluth, November 26, 2025, Digital Euro and Cash

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)11-26(3-0547/49-0000). 

Herr President. 

Thousands of citizens have in the last weeks turned to the peoples’ representatives of the European Parliament. Their demand: No digital euro. 

They are right – a digital currency is not progress, it is an instrument of control. The Commission wants to convince us that the digital euro offers security and independence vis-à-vis the U.S.A. and China. In truth, every purchase, every beer with a friend will be tracked. They want the transparent citizen. 

We want cash [Bargeld], we want freedom: Anonymous, direct and independent of electricity outages. Cash defends against debanking. He who pays cash, retains the command over his own wallet. It would be democratic if the citizens were allowed to decide by means of a referendum on the introduction of the digital euro. We thus demand anchoring the right to cash in the national constitutions. 

…Herr  colleague, I believe the decree is only one of many which this house here undertakes so  as to in the mid-term abolish cash. That is one of the quite large problems which we have, and precisely against that are we defending ourselves.

Hans Neuhoff, November 25, 2025, European Armament of the Ukraine

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)11-25(2-0031/34/36-0000). 

Frau President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

It is completely right that the European states want to themselves command the technological and industrial bases of their defense capability. It is however completely wrong to include in these the Ukraine as an equal and even privileged partner. Since the country finds itself in a war which it threatens to lose, and is crippled by notorious corruption. Promotion of the Ukrainian arms industry? In no case! 

Secondly, it is right that the strategic autonomy can only be developed by a small group of leading states. It is however wrong to give large strategy programs into the hand alone of the Council of the European Union without participation of the affected national parliaments. 

With the EDIP [European Defense Industry Program] decree, the bases for a supra-national defense union will be created. The ESN delegation will thus not vote for this decree. 

…Herr Sieper, many thanks for the question. As a result of its time frame, the Ukraine will in no way be able to use the EDIP. What it will effect, however, is that a strong incentive is presented for Russia to move the western border in the Ukraine, the contact line, as far as possible to the west. And that is not in the interest of the Ukraine. 

…Herr Sieper, your assumption is wrong, that it would be in the Russian interest to rule over, to control the Ukraine in its entirety. Since the invasion would not have been entered into with such a small army. Russia’s goal is: No NATO membership for the Ukraine and the Ukraine’s return to a status of neutrality, as was the case prior to 2014. That was and would be the best for this country and therefore we should support that.

Christine Anderson, November 17, 2025, Digital Omnibus

EU Parliament, Brussels, November 17, 2025, P-004565/2025 Commission. 

Written Question. 

The Commission has signaled that the forthcoming Digital Omnibus may introduce changes to concepts of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) such as compatible use, purpose limitation and secondary processing. Since the GDPR forms the legal foundation for the European digital identity wallet, digital travel credentials (DTCs) and other identity and biometric systems, any modification of these concepts could materially affect the guarantees on which these systems were legislated. 

1. Will the Commission explicitly confirm that any expansion of ‘compatible use’ under the omnibus will not enable personal, identity-linked or biometric data collected under the revised Electronic Identification and Trust Services Regulation (eIDAS 2.0) or for DTCs to be repurposed for analytics, AI training, or security or intelligence objectives? 

2. How will the Commission ensure that identity or travel-related data cannot be further processed beyond the purposes that were originally authorised by sectoral legislation, even if the horizontal GDPR framework becomes more permissive? 

3. Does the Commission commit to maintaining strict purpose limitation for all identity and authentication systems irrespective of any omnibus-related GDPR adjustments?

Arno Bausemer, October 22, 2025, Russian Energy Imports

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)10-22(3-0498-0000). 

Herr President. Ladies and gentlemen. 

At a late hour I say welcome to you in the multi-colored, energy policy fantasy world of the green world-improvers. There one rejoices over the the sun which shines, the wind which blows and over the electricity from the socket which costs so little since the sun and wind, ja, present no bill. And so as to make the world still a little better, there the gas valve is turned off and one thereby takes care that Russia goes down before the European Union. 

Who follows our debate here, he needs think, in this parliament, the madness has broken out. Have you not understood, even after three years, that ever new sanctions packages harm our own national economies, and presently in Germany alone 10,000 industrial workplaces disappear every month? They are gone. Have you not understood that Russia simply seeks new customers? Through the new pipeline Siberia 2, 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas will yearly flow to China. 

Putin party, Russia friend, Moscow’s fifth column, you only ever continue to insult the critics of your failed policy. The new, old Europe of fatherlands again makes sense, and acts to the advantage of these fatherlands and their citizens, and to that then also again belongs economic relations with Russia.

Hans Neuhoff, October 21, 2025, Russian Frozen Assets

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-Rev(2025)10-21(2-0458/60-0000). 

Frau President. 

The planned seizure of Russian asset values is not an expression of the state of law. It is its hollowing out. The immunity of states is a fundamental pillar of the international order. Does the EU want to bring on the downfall of this order? A reparations credit sounds harmless, yet here it is nothing other than legally disguised expropriation. The EU thereby opens a Pandora’s box. When we today seize reserves of a foreign central bank, who then tomorrow still trusts the euro? The warnings come not from us alone, but from the ECB, from the IMF and from Euroclear itself. They all speak of a risk for the financial stability, of capital flight and loss of trust. 

Colleagues, the EU states apparently no longer possess means to still meet the Russian advance. Your latest project is thus an expression of sheer desperation. Wars make new realities. Finally arrive at the reality. 

…Herr colleague, the error from which you proceed consists in that Russia would ever make reparations payments. That, Russia, plain and simple, will not do. How then do you want to force Russia to make such reparations payments? You cannot do it. The consequence is: Either the central bank reserves will in fact need to be expropriated, or else the EU remains seated on its offerings to the Ukraine.

Alexander Jungbluth, October 22, 2025, Hungary, Soros, EU

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)10-22(3-0378-0000). 

Frau President. 

The Digital Freedom Fund, the Hungarian ostensible research portal Direkt36, and the German NGO Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte have much in common. For example, all three organizations are co-financed by the Open Society Foundations of George Soros. The GFF, for example, receives since 2018 nearly 280,000 U.S. dollars from the pockets of dubious U.S. billionaires. All three organizations participate in the so-called clarification of the supposed espionage accusations against the Hungarian government. 

The Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte, which also receives money form the Digital Freedom Fund, thus EU money, supports the EU member Daniel Freund in regards his complaint against Orbán. Herr Freund accuses the oh-so-evil Orbán of having installed a spyware. These allegations are themselves inferred by the press – a sequence of concurrences. There is little evidence for that, yet a quite a lot of need for revenge by Daniel Freund. Thus why do we occupy ourselves with such unimportant matters? Because Soros orders and the EU elites carry out.

Tomasz Froelich, October 21, 2025, Serbia

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)10-21(2-0502-0000). 

Frau President. 

What do you actually want from Serbia? Do you want to make Serbia a second Ukraine? Legitimate student protests against corruption are being mis-used for geopolitical purposes. You goad on assailants who batter the Serbian police. You destabilize a country which has had very, very bad experiences with Western intervention policy. 

Why all of this? Because Serbia maintains pragmatic relations with China and Russia. That is  Serbia’s good right, for Serbia is a sovereign state, and the Serbs are a proud people – a proud people who do not want your arrogant tutoring. And if you doubt your own unpopularity, then simply take a look at the newest numbers of the Eurobarometer: Just every third Serb is for an EU accession – a record low.  At the same time, 60 percent of Serbs are for an accession to the BRICs. You are driving Serbia out of Europe. A fatal failure, since we need Serbia as a strategic partner, perchance in the fight against illegal migration, yet in Europe only Fico and Orbán grasp that. Hands off Serbia.

Markus Buchheit, October 8, 2025, Combustion Engine Verbot

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE REV(2025)10-08(3-0208-0000). 

Herr President, my valued ladies and gentlemen. 

In 2019, as the Green Deal stood directly in the starting blocks, and as Greta Thunberg here still strode through the meadow, we already had studies which said that we in the next years alone in Germany would lose 200,000 to 400,000 workplaces in the automobile industry, if it came to the Verbot of the combustion engine. Now we stand here again today, and the question is put: Man, the industry, it goes so badly; we just don’t know why it goes so badly. 

Herr colleague Wölken of the SPD: It goes badly for the industry because people like you want to represent an activating industrial policy, and it is called nothing other – the viewers may want to look at the previous video of colleague Wölken – than a planned economy. You want to interfere in the production management of individual firms, and that certainly cannot be. If here is brought in the examples of iphones and the accomplishment in relation to Nokia, of the horse and carriage and the setbacks of the automobile, then to all that can only be said: These projects, these technologies have succeeded – planned by free undertakings, demanded by free citizens. 

What we require is freedom, not still more planned economy, not still more Wölkens in this house here. We again need freedom for our businesses and for our citizens. In this sense: Away with this Verbot, yet also away with the fleet penalty payments!

Volker Schnurrbusch, October 8, 2025, EU Digital Rules

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)10-08(3-0217-0000). 

Frau President. Valued colleagues.

The core of the EU is the Common Market. Yet what does this Commission do? It builds one hurdle after another. It would be nice if we too had a Silicon Valley. Yet instead of complaining that a few U.S. firms dominate the tech market and the platforms, it would be the duty of the EU to promote the entrepreneurial spirit which first made this dominance possible. Why does the risk capital flow to California and Texas and not to Germany and France? Why do IT professionals emigrate from Asia to the U.S.A. and not here? Why do we experience the emigration of our programmers? 

Because this Commission is hostile to business and growth; because it constructs ever higher bureaucratic hurdles; because it understands the market not as the exchange of ideas but as something un-regulated which is to be surveilled. Thus it invents tools like the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act. The EU wants to control, it blocks entrepreneurial freedom, and it wants to censor freedom of opinion on the internet so that only its own propaganda will be spread, as in Roumania, as in Moldavia, as in Georgia, and lastly also in the Ukraine. We reject that.

Marc Jongen, September 11, 2025, European University Alliances

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)09-11(4-0024-0000). 

Herr President. 

We’ve heard it from Frau von der Leyen: The EU wants more sovereignty, more power, more centralization. So as to achieve this, all will be instrumentalized, even education. 

Yes, student mobility by means of Ersamus+ is a good thing. Yet the true sense of the European University alliances is another thing; it shall give rise to a Europe-wide, post-secondary [Hochschul] education conforming to the EU, with EU study courses for ideological programs like green transformation, etc. And universities, once they are dependent on the EU promotion pot, no longer get loose – whose bread I eat, his song I sing. Where that leads, the Bologna process has shown: To a bureaucratic schooling of post-secondary studies which has driven out of the universities the spirit that made Europe great and upon which the EU unjustly calls. 

In fact, the European universities fall ever further back in the international rankings, and the level of our qualification [Abschlüsse] becomes ever worse. Authentic excellence is not achieved by such university alliances, but by optimal conditions for leading researchers, selection of the best students without quota mania and free from ideological guidelines.

René Aust, September 10, 2025, State of the European Union

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV (2025)09-10(3-0025-0000). 

Frau President. 

Europe, that was once a dream: A continent in which families could win by work a house of their own; a continent which was the motor of worldwide progress; a Europe in which women could live safely, the poor were secured by good sozial legislation, and young people had the opportunity to build by their own work a good life. 

Yet this dream has been destroyed by politicians like Angela Merkel and Ursula von der Leyen. While the world economy grew and new markets arose, Europe regressed. Who wants to know why, he need only attend again to the previous speech of Ursula von der Leyen. Not a single time did she mention the core of the market economy – business freedom – but, for that, a central planned program of billions – bureaucracy from above to below. Yet prosperity arises through work, through innovation, through entrepreneurial courage, not through Ursula von der Leyen’s five-year plan. 

And in the migration policy, the dreams of Europe have been severely damaged. Enrichment was promised. The reality: Knife attacks, terrorism, rape, drug gangs from Spain, Italy, through Germany to Rotterdam and Malmö. And in Brussels, where the EU ever still preaches diversity, the Belgian government seriously considers an army mission so as to at all be able to protect the capital city from the violence of migrant gangs. 

And Frau von der Leyen? She ever still speaks in melodious marketing phrases. She speaks of unity on our own continent. Which however will only be when finally on this continent the persecution of opposition ceases. In Roumania, elections were rescinded; in France and Germany, candidates were excluded from elections. 

If you want unity, then we need to return to democracy and freedom of opinion. On that account, we say: Yes to industrial workplaces which emit CO2; no to chat controls and censorship; yes to remigration in all of Europe, and no to Ursula von der Leyen.

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)07-10(4-0109-0000). 

Frau President. 

Mohnkuchen, Toleranz, Schneekoppe [poppy seed cake, toleration, Snieźka Mountain]: All of these terms unite us with Silesia, an age-old cultural landscape. In the Polish provinces of Oppelen and Silesia live far over 600,000 Silesians – 200,000 of whom have declared to speak mainly German in everyday life. And yet the protection of the Heimat does not legally progress. Dual language locale signs are not used, or only after a long wait; German instruction in the schools is neglected. 

Yet precisely here can the Cohesion Means Assistance help. It should be used so that the expansion of German instruction finally comes forward and the village school infrastructure is secured. It needs be employed so that Europe’s cultural wealth is no longer lost. It should be used so that the involvement with the Silesians in Poland becomes a model for all Europe. We therefore support with complete conviction the European Citizens Initiative.

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)07-08(2-0512-0000). 

Frau President. Colleagues. 

The European Parliament gladly presents itself as a moral institution, as a judge of good and evil in politics. For months, the Parliament is enraged that the Georgians in October 2024 did not elect the government which the EU had foreseen. For months, the committees and panels brood over how to punish the Georgians for that. The Georgian government also then even has the shamelessness to itself set aside the EU accession negotiations until 2028 which nevertheless would have been gladly done. 

The EPP report on Georgia shall now indemnify for that. It presents itself as a singular catalog of sins which thereby exceeds itself in demands which quite clearly contradict EU law. Personal sanctions without judicial process or collective punishments are just two examples of that. No word of acknowledgment that the Georgian government has kept its country out of the conflict between power blocs into which it, like the Ukraine, would have been so gladly driven. With this report, the EU will overstep the institutional mandate and disregard the principle of sovereign equality. The ESN delegation will decisively reject this report.

Christine Anderson, July 9, 2025, EU Stockpiling

EU Parliament, Strasbourg, P10 CRE-REV(2025)07-09(3-0405-0000). 

Herr President. 

In Soviet communism also was stockpiling managed – giant, secret storehouses full of grain, fuel and medical supplies which often remained unused. Now the EU Commission, under the covering of resilience, builds up stocks inaccessible for citizens, administered by non-elected elites, according to guidelines for which no one has voted. The Russian dissident Vladimir Bukowski already warned of this rising EUdSSR, a bureaucratic super-state with economic planning as per a Soviet model. One just thinks of the mRNA injections debacle. 215 million doses disposed of, having decayed. Four billion euros simply gone – thanks to the EU Commission. As always, the reckoning is paid by the taxpayer – families, workers, farmers – while inflation shoots up to the heights and supply chains collapse. Europe requires freedom so as to build, to trade, and to prosper. Crisis provisions, yes; but um Gottes willen, no storage economy under Brussels incompetence. Here, solely and alone are demanded the member states.
