Future is the main idea of this debate today. We have also drafted a comprehensive resolution on this. While I am thankful for the debate time, I express my regret that other groups did not support the EPP-proposed resolution by including it in the agenda of this session. I hope we will unite efforts and find time for the resolution in the next plenaries. Crimes of communism – deportations and Gulags – are part of the history of the whole EU. They must be evaluated and told to everyone from the European continent, in the south, north and east.  Unevaluated and forgotten crimes give birth to today’s totalitarianism. Next to the EU border, we see a 21st-century Stalinist regime. Two dictators in the east of Europe are like two in one. They use history to divide the EU, to justify their regimes, to hold their people hostage. The consequences of the Ribbentrop–Molotov Pact still exist on the Molotov side.  We are responsible for our history so that we can learn from it. The crimes of communism have never received a moral or legal evaluation by the international community. Entire Gulag system and mass deportations, ordered, planned and executed by the Soviet communist regime must be recognised as crimes against humanity.

Šią baisiąją istorijos patirtį mes turime prisiminti, apie ją kalbėti ir dėl to, kad jaunoji karta žinotų nepagražintą istorijos pusę. Labai neramina, kad dabartinis Rusijos režimas, vis dažniau slepia Stalino ir kitų raudonojo teroro architektų nusikaltimus, istorija vėl pradedama naudoti propagandiniais tikslais, mokslininkams neleidžiama tyrinėti istorinių archyvų. Manyčiau, kad mes – Europos Parlamentas, Europos Komisija – galėtume ir turėtume dėti daugiau pastangų tyrinėjant, įvertinant, įamžinant šią istorinę patirtį. Dedikuotos tyrimų programos, parodos Europos istorijos namuose, oficialus Gulagų sistemos pasmerkimas būtų gera pradžia, siekiant gilinti europiečių supratimą apie šį Europos istorijos etapą, kad tai niekados nepasikartotų, kad mes galėtume kurti laimingesnę Europos ateitį.

Tuomet Europos diktatoriai nusprendė daugelio Europos tautų ir valstybių likimus, pateisinant kruviniausias ideologijas žmonių sudaužytais ir sulaužytais likimais ir atimtomis gyvybėmis. Komunistinis-sovietinis režimas siekė besąlygiškai pajungti okupuotų valstybių, tame tarpe ir mano tėvynės Lietuvos, visuomenes ir iš anksto numatė sistemingą pilietinės visuomenės ir jos aktyviausių narių izoliavimą ir galutinį sunaikinimą. Todėl 1941 m. birželio 14 d. naktį visoje Lietuvoje pradėti suėmimai, o po to sekusi nekaltų žmonių deportacija į tolimąjį Sibirą ir Šiaurę laikytini nusikaltimu žmoniškumui.  Jei nacizmas sukūrė koncentracijos stovyklas, tai sovietizmas sukūrė lagerių sistemą, kuri pradėjo byrėti tik 1950-ųjų viduryje. 1941 m. birželio 14–18 d. iš Lietuvos deportuota apie 18 000 žmonių, tame tarpe moterys ir vaikai. Nekaltai suimti prekiniais vagonais, kelionei trunkant keletą mėnesių, buvo gabenami į lagerius ir gyvenimui netinkamas tremties vietas. Dalis susirgo ir mirė kelionės metu. Į Lietuvą grįžo kiek daugiau nei 30 proc. ištremtųjų, 26 proc. žuvo tremties ar kalinimo vietose, apie 40 proc. mes neturime jokios informacijos. Smerktina, kuomet trėmimus organizavusi sovietinė valdžia turi įstatymų apsaugą dabartinėje Putino Rusijoje. Kuomet pasakojimai apie trėmimus prilyginami nusikaltimui, naikinami trėmimų muziejai ir persekiojami istorikai. Praradimai, kai per sovietų pradėtą deportaciją buvo ištremta 300 tūkstančių Lietuvos gyventojų, gerbiamas Pirmininke, tai yra, du trečdaliai dabartinio Strasbūro gyventojų, laikytini nusikaltimu, kurį mes turime pasmerkti.

Jau pirmajos Otrā pasaules kara gados no padomju okupētajām teritorijām tika deportēti vairāk nekā 1,2 miljoni poļu. 1941. gada 14. jūnijā no manas dzimtās zemes Latvijas vienas diennakts laikā lopu vagonos izsūtīja vairāk nekā 15 tūkstošus cilvēku, tostarp bērnus, zīdaiņus un vecus cilvēkus. Daudzi no viņiem mira jau ceļā. Daudzi gāja bojā no bada, slimībām un necilvēciskā darba salauzti.  Fakti par deportācijām ilgstoši ir slēpti, bet šodien zināšanas par komunistiskā režīma noziegumiem veido būtisku Eiropas sociālās atmiņas daļu. Bet atmiņas mums ir dotas, gan lai pieminētu, gan lai mācītos un rīkotos. Masu deportāciju stāstam ir jābūt iekļautam jauno eiropiešu izglītības saturā. Šiem notikumiem ir jābūt spēcīgi atainotiem Eiropas vēstures mājas pastāvīgajā ekspozīcijā un citās vēstures un atmiņas institūcijās — arī mākslas darbos.  Mums ir arī jārīkojas, lai atspēkotu vēstures noklusēšanas un falsifikācijas centienus. Mums — Eiropas Savienībai — ir jāturpina nenogurstoši iestāties pret jebkuru noziedzīgu un totalitāru režīmu, jo īpaši mūsu kaimiņos, kas iznīcina nevainīgu cilvēku dzīves un dzīvības.

Richtig ist es, sich kritisch mit der Geschichte auseinanderzusetzen. Falsch jedoch ist es, so wie manche es auch hier im Hause versuchen, die Geschichte mithilfe der Totalitarismustheorie zu instrumentalisieren, um einerseits das aktuelle Streben nach einer von Kapitalismus und Faschismus befreiten Gesellschaft zu diskreditieren und andererseits die Konfrontation mit dem heutigen Russland weiter anzuheizen. Gedenken wir daher heute auch des Überfalls Hitlerdeutschlands auf die damalige Sowjetunion, die unter größten Menschenopfern maßgeblich dazu beigetragen hat, dass Europa 1945 vom Faschismus befreit worden ist!

In 2020, 49 European remembrance projects were selected for funding for a total amount of EUR 4 422 000. We will carry on supporting similar projects after 2021. The new Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme will strengthen the support to activities that deal with the causes of totalitarian regimes in Europe’s modern history, in particular Nazism, which led to the Holocaust, fascism, Stalinism and totalitarian communist regimes, and commemorate the victims of their crimes. A EUR 4.5 million call for proposals on European remembrance is currently open for applications. We will finance projects that raise awareness of defining moments in European history and projects that analyse and highlight resistance to totalitarian rule leading up to democratic transition, looking to democratic consolidation in the EU.  We do so not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it is a necessity. We share European history and we must remember it. Preserving our common memory of the dark experience and the tragic consequences of totalitarianism is essential to reaffirm our joint commitment to safeguarding our common values of human dignity, fundamental rights, the rule of law and democracy. We must fight for these values every day.

Debate: Women in politics – combatting online abuse
Date: WEDNESDAY, 9 JUNE 2021
Speaker: Helena Dalli
Language: EN

The increased use of social media and online tools in politics have provided great opportunities in terms of inclusion, participation in public debates and access to information. However, as we all know, there is also a downside to this development: the exposure to online violence, threats and harassment. Last year, the World Wide Web Foundation found that 52% of young women and girls had experienced online violence, including threats and sexual harassment.  Hateful online targeting makes it even more difficult to allow women to participate in public life. It can dissuade women from running as candidates in elections or from participating in public online debates, and can also lead to women ending their political careers prematurely. Online attacks and disinformation are used to undermine women’s political credibility and question their decision—making capabilities.  When violence occurs online, women are both the primary targets and are also forced to be the first responders. On social media platforms they are the ones who have to request the deletion of the hateful comments after they have been posted. A study by the Inter—Parliamentary Union and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe shows that 85.2% of the female parliamentarians interviewed had experienced psychological violence. Almost half of the respondents reported having received death threats or threats of rape and beatings directed against themselves or family members. In most cases, the threats were delivered by electronic means.  These online threats and attacks sometimes translate into physical acts, such as the killing of parliamentarian Jo Cox in 2016. In extreme cases, as shown by a UNESCO study on journalists, these attacks are accompanied by a rise in viral disinformation and through digital conspiracy networks.  Online violence can be part of an orchestrated campaign or can come from individuals sharing the same – often misogynist or racist – prejudices. In barring women from participating in public life and in spreading gender misinformation, these attacks are attacks on our fundamental values. Democracy and freedom of expression are the main pillars of the pluralist societies the EU stands for. When women are not fully represented in positions of power, we are faced with a serious democratic deficit. Online hate and violence can have a chilling effect on women’s participation in our democracies.  We must ensure that women and groups who can be marginalised as victims of online violence are safe to raise their voices in public debates without fear of being attacked and discredited. The Commission is strongly committed to ending online abuse in all of its forms.

We know that, while women are heavily involved in community groups and NGOs making a substantial difference and a sizable contribution at grassroots level, women are often hesitant about entering politics. They don’t like what sometimes passes for politics – aggressive, adversarial and populist. Also, women in politics experience physical intimidation and sexual harassment online and offline, as we’ve heard. Like so many other female politicians, I’ve had a range of experiences in my political career that were deeply unpleasant and unacceptable: an attack on a car I was travelling in, physical intimidation and a stream of untruths about my political work that have only increased as the online world has emerged and further developed. Every female politician has similar stories.  Politics has always had many challenges but, with the development of the online world, we’ve seen this multiply hugely, and people say why would I bring that upon myself? So it’s imperative for democracy that we deal with these challenges. We must offer support and mentoring. We must interrupt and face down the populist rhetoric. We must challenge the stereotyping of complex political decisions and leave room for nuance and complexity. High-quality journalism is essential. My work on the Committee on Disinformation has reinforced my views on that.  Journalism that can view political discourse through the arc of time, its complexity, and not through the need for clicks: this needs adequate funding. Our democracy remains unfinished. If we are to achieve a critical mass of women, we must take action today and take on the bullies, interrupt them legislatively and through other means. Women and our democracy deserve and need this.

Social media zijn belangrijk om te benutten vanwege de digitale wereld waar we in zitten, maar ze mogen niet schaamteloos en zonder consequenties benut worden om strafbare feiten te begaan of om een gebrek aan fatsoen te tonen. Intimidatie, bedreiging en het maken van seksistische en racistische opmerkingen zijn in de fysieke wereld ook niet normaal, en dus moeten we dit ook niet accepteren in de onlinewereld. Ik wil dat we de komende tijd aan stevige wetgeving hiertegen werken. De gevolgen blijven te veel uit. Mensen kunnen anoniem vrouwen in de politiek aanvallen. Dit is laf. Op een zolderkamer achter je laptop is het makkelijk om persoonlijke frustraties te projecteren op ons als vrouwen. Laat het duidelijk zijn dat de beweging van vrouwen in de politiek steeds sterker wordt. Het doel van deze onlinehaat is om ons te censureren. Een manier om het zwijgen op te leggen. Een gevaar voor de emancipatie en onze democratie. Daarom roep ik alle vrouwen met ambities in de politiek op te blijven staan voor je ambities en deze waar te maken. De politiek is ook jouw plek. Samen zijn we sterk.

Skala przemocy w internecie wobec kobiet rośnie, a Unia Europejska wciąż nie ma przepisów prawnych, żeby jej przeciwdziałać. Na jesieni Parlament przekaże Komisji wniosek o inicjatywę legislacyjną. Ale czy to coś zmieni? Czy może usłyszymy ze strony Komisji Europejskiej znowu tylko kolejne obietnice. Bo za chwilę mijają dwa lata działania nowej Komisji Europejskiej, a Komisja nic konkretnego nie zrobiła w kwestii przemocy wobec kobiet.

Le cyberharcèlement, bien loin de n’être que virtuel, peut détruire des vies, voire tuer. Le cas de Samuel Paty est emblématique. Cet enseignant a été décapité dans la rue par un djihadiste après avoir été lynché sur les réseaux sociaux. Il ne fait aucun doute que, toutes et tous dans cet hémicycle, vous êtes sensibilisés à la question du harcèlement, sans distinction de couleur politique. Et nous sommes parmi les plus qualifiés pour en parler, tant la présidente de notre parti, Marine Le Pen, est la cible récurrente depuis des années de menaces et d’insultes dans l’indifférence générale. Il y a dans le traitement de ces affaires un «deux poids, deux mesures» facile à prouver. Les mêmes qui s’insurgent contre le cyberharcèlement de l’icône progressiste Kamala Harris ne prennent pas la parole pour défendre Marine Le Pen lorsqu’un rappeur l’agonit d’injures et fantasme sur son viol dans ses textes. Bien au contraire, des ministres du gouvernement français, qui plus est des femmes, prennent la défense du rappeur et elles le soutiennent pour chanter l’hymne de la France à l’Euro de football. Certes, le cyberharcèlement nuit aux réseaux sociaux. Mais nous n’avons pas tant besoin d’une législation floue et liberticide contre la haine en ligne que d’une mobilisation générale des mondes politique, associatif et médiatique pour condamner sans ambiguïté un cyberharcèlement qui n’épargne personne, en particulier les adolescents, et d’une détermination à faire appliquer les sanctions déjà prévues par la loi. Se satisfaire d’une indignation sélective, c’est amener le discrédit sur une question qui devrait tous nous rassembler.

Het wordt pas echt een probleem als het algemeen wordt. 82 % van de vrouwelijke parlementsleden heeft te maken gehad met een vorm van psychologisch geweld. 44 % is bedreigd met de dood, verkrachting, aanranding of ontvoering. Deze cijfers zijn niet alleen hallucinant, maar geven verder perfect de realiteit weer waar vrouwen in de politiek elke dag mee te maken krijgen. Zolang deze online-intimidatie van vrouwelijke politici doorgaat, wordt de kans groter dat dit ook andere vrouwen afschrikt om in de politiek te gaan. Daarom hebben we een nieuwe strategie nodig om te reageren op onlinegeweld, zonder in censuur te vervallen. Ik hoop dat we een veiliger, transparanter, gelijkwaardiger omgeving kunnen creëren voor de volgende generatie vrouwen die de politiek in zullen gaan, voor onze dochters. De Commissie moet initiatieven nemen op het gebied van onlinegeweld tegen vrouwen. Want de vele sterke politica’s, waarvan er veel hier in dit Parlement zetelen, verdienen een veilige en hoopvolle werkomgeving.

Parece que algunos quieren convencernos de que la política es cosa de varones y mandarnos a casa —sobre todo si somos feministas— y, en ciertos casos, lo han conseguido: mujeres políticas más precavidas, con menos proyección pública, que acaban cerrando sus cuentas en las redes o huyendo de los medios. Y, sin embargo, a pesar de toda esa violencia, de nuestra escasa presencia pública, de la invisibilización, la banalización, la infantilización y el descrédito sistemático, del titánico esfuerzo que tenemos que hacer para alcanzar lugares que el hombre cree ocupar por derecho natural, a pesar de todo eso, aquí seguimos y aquí nos vamos a quedar. Vamos a pelear por una política femenina y feminista, porque estamos cansadas de testosterona, de líderes y caudillos obsesionados con el poder, las órdenes y el control, y hasta de las damas de hierro masculinizadas, no se sabe ya si por obligación o por devoción. Con el tiempo lograremos feminizar la política y acabaremos con el falocentrismo que alimenta la misoginia.

Pán predsedajúci, je prirodzené, že vo verejnom živote čelíme vo vyššej miere kritike, tlaku, negatívnym reakciám. Stretávame sa s týmito javmi bežne aj tu v Európskom parlamente a berieme ich ako prirodzenú súčasť našej práce. Potrebujeme a sám vítam kritický pohľad na našu prácu. No vyhrážanie sa smrťou a hrozby príbuzným, sexistické narážky či zasielanie ponižujúcich obrázkov nesmieme v našej práci nikdy akceptovať, prehliadať ani tolerovať. Napriek tomu sú takéto praktiky až príliš bežným javom, ktoré dôverne poznajú mnohé kolegyne političky, aktívne novinárky, televízne reportérky či verejne vystupujúce ženy. Mnohé z nich sa radšej rozhodnú opustiť politiku či stiahnuť sa zo spoločenského života, lebo sú šikanované. A to len preto, že sú ženy. Existujú aspoň dva spôsoby ako zlepšovať priestor pre ženy v politike. Dnes pracujeme vo viacerých výboroch tohto Parlamentu na legislatívnych zmenách, ktoré majú ozdraviť naše digitálne prostredie tak, aby platilo, že to čo nie je dovolené offline, nie je dovolené ani online. Mnohí si totiž online priestor mylne zamieňajú za prostredie, kde sa môže všetko. Tento pohľad musíme zmeniť. Tým druhým je, aby sme o problémoch, ktorým ženy čelia vo verejnom živote, rozprávali nahlas. Aby sme sa ozývali a aby sme sa ohradili, keď vidíme správanie, ktoré je neprijateľné. A je dôležité, aby sme sa ozývali my, muži. To ako sa cítia ženy v online priestore, dámy a páni, sa týka každého z nás.

Mr President, we have a problem, a big problem especially affecting publicly—exposed women, among them women in politics. That problem is hate and power structures, and is perpetuated online. Far too many women are threatened, every second, online – mostly by men and mostly simply because they are women.  The reason lies in the fundamental question of power and felt superiority. Some men think that women should not be allowed to have a voice in the public discourse, and too often their hate and threats actually silence women. This has to stop. We owe it to Jo Cox. We need better rules against online harassment and we need more effective reactions by the companies providing these services. We need this now because we have a very urgent problem which, in the end, is attacking our democracies.

Mr President, we’re here to discuss online abuse of women in politics, but I want to start somewhere else within our own political parties. In Denmark in September 2020 four women – Freja Fokdal, Camilla Søe, Sigrid Friis Proschowsky, Maria Gudme – changed the Danish political landscape by no longer accepting being part of the menu for the men in politics.  None of the Danish political parties thought they had any problems, but they all did. The physical world spills into the online world. Women who use their voices in public experience online abuse. Every tenth woman in the EU has experienced cyberharassment from as early as the age of 15. The result is women censor themselves, losing their fundamental right of free expression, because they’re met with abuse, because they’re met with online abuse.  Dear women and girls of the world, we cannot afford to lose your input and your ideas. I’m sorry that we’ve been failing you for way too long, failing you by not taking action against the abuse of women for just being women for way too long. We have a unique chance to take action now. When regulating platforms we must make them face up to their responsibility and help, not hinder, the combat against online abuse of women. And media pluralism should include the voices of women journalists in our democracy action plan.
