Establishing the Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism and providing exceptional macro-financial assistance to Ukraine
Am votat împotriva propunerii de creare a noului Mecanism de cooperare în materie de împrumuturi pentru Ucraina, pentru că Ucraina este un stat terorist, care deține, în virtutea Pactului Ribbentrop Molotov teritoriile României - Bugeac, Hotin, Țara Herței, Nordul Bucovinei, Maramureșul istoric, sudul și nordul Basarabiei. Pactul a fost denunțat, iar aceste teritorii trebuie să revină la țara mamă, România. Ucraina îi discriminează pe cei peste un milion de români, nu le permite să vorbească limba română, a interzis românilor să creadă în Dumnezeu și a dispus să fie bătut Mitropolitul Jar, care a fost otrăvit, aproape omorât. UE nu trebuie să mai ajute Ucraina, unde există trafic de droguri și carne vie. Avem săracii noștri pe care nu îi ajută nimeni. Să îi ajute SUA pe ucraineni, pentru că toate afacerile și terenurile sunt deținute de americani. Ei i-au băgat în război, ei sa îi scoată din această situație. Negociați pacea, nu mai dați bani pentru înarmare.
Draft amending budget No 2/2024: entering the surplus of the financial year 2023
Agențiile descentralizate folosesc banii fără a exista un rezultat concret. Sunt doar bani aruncați, exact ca și în România, pentru a se plăti servicii unor firme, persoane influente. Banii aceștia ar putea fi folosiți pentru construcția unor locuințe dedicate persoanelor cu dificultăți materiale, cu dizabilități, familii monoparentale, îmbunătățirea învățământului, cu precădere cel din mediul rural, și acces la sistemul public de sănătate fără discriminare.
Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: application EGF/2024/001 BE/Match-Smatch
Dificultățile cu care s-a confruntat un lanț de magazine din Belgia a determinat în septembrie 2023 închiderea lor. Doar o parte dintre magazine au fost preluate de către alte societăți comerciale din domeniu - 57 dintre cele 84 de magazine, ceea ce a făcut ca un număr de 513 angajați să fie disponibilizați prin proceduri de disponibilizare colectivă. În plus, circa jumătate dintre lucrătorii disponibilizați au vârsta de cincizeci de ani sau mai mult, o grupă de vârstă care se confruntă cu mai multe obstacole în calea integrării pe piața muncii. Adevăratele măsuri nu sunt luate, pentru că reconversia profesională nu le garantează obținerea unui loc de muncă, ci îmbogățește firmele care jonglează cu banii europeni pentru cursuri și care profită de necazurile oamenilor, provocate toate de UE. Măsurile reale nu sunt adoptate, iar cele bune se aplică limitativ, cum ar fi plata de alocații pentru îngrijirea copilului.
Discharge 2022: EU general budget – European Council and Council
De peste un deceniu, Consiliul a arătat că nu are niciun fel de voință politică de a colabora cu Parlamentul în contextul procedurii anuale de descărcare de gestiune, ceea ce are un efect negativ de durată asupra ambelor instituții și a afectat încrederea cetățenilor în Uniune ca entitate transparentă. Nu trebuie uitat faptul că, jurisprudența Curții de Justiție a Uniunii Europene sprijină dreptul contribuabililor și al publicului de a fi informați cu privire la utilizarea veniturilor publice și consider că și Consiliul trebuie să respecte pe deplin procedura de descărcare de gestiune, inclusiv să facă publice sponsorizările corporative ale președințiilor prin rotație ale Consiliului.
