Κύριε Πρόεδρε, καταδικάζουμε το απάνθρωπο σύμφωνο-έκτρωμα. Ονομάζετε  αντιμετώπιση κρίσεων τις προληπτικές φυλακίσεις, το φακέλωμα, τη λήψη βιομετρικών και από εξάχρονο παιδιά, με νέους φράχτες, επαναπροωθήσεις, Frontex και την κοροϊδία των εθελοντικών μετεγκαταστάσεων.  Έτσι θρέφετε κυκλώματα και νέα τραγικά ναυάγια, όπως σήμερα στη Χίο με τρία νεκρά κοριτσάκια. Κάνετε διαλογή βγάζοντας τρομοκράτες όσους δεν προορίζετε για κατά παραγγελία φτηνό, ευέλικτο εργατικό δυναμικό στους ομίλους. Ενταφιάζετε τη Συνθήκη της Γενεύης καταργώντας την ατομική εξέταση ασύλου. Στέλνετε τους ξεριζωμένους πίσω στην κόλαση των ιμπεριαλιστικών πολέμων ή προς τρίτες χώρες «αποθήκες ψυχών» της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. Βαφτίζετε εναλλακτική λύση εσωτερικής προστασίας, για παράδειγμα, για τους Παλαιστινίους πρόσφυγες, θύματα της γενοκτονίας από τον σύμμαχό σας Ισραήλ, να μετακινούνται από τη Γάζα στη Δυτική Όχθη. Όλες οι κυβερνήσεις, και της Νέας Δημοκρατίας στην Ελλάδα, αγκαλιά με Orbán και Meloni τελειώνουν και επίσημα το παραμύθι της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, τάχα του κράτους δικαίου.  Ο λαός να τιμωρήσει τα κόμματα που ωραιοποιούν τη βαρβαρότητα της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης του κεφαλαίου με ένα πιο δυνατό Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας στις ευρωπαϊκές εκλογές.

Señora presidenta, señor comisario, señora comisaria, hoy celebramos un día histórico. Tras más de una década de bloqueo, la Unión Europea ha logrado un acuerdo sobre el Pacto sobre Migración y Asilo, o espero que se pueda alcanzar. El momento no puede ser más oportuno, pues las cifras del último año nos aproximan a una crisis similar a la del año 2015. Por eso, el grupo PPE apoya este pacto para reforzar la protección de nuestras fronteras exteriores y prevenir amenazas a la seguridad de nuestros ciudadanos. Se trata de un equilibrio entre responsabilidad y solidaridad que alivia la presión que sufren especialmente los países de entrada, como España, dando al mismo tiempo garantías a quienes verdaderamente necesitan protección internacional. Unidos en contra del pacto, como era de esperar, están los extremos: el buenismo ingenuo de un lado y el fatalismo alarmista de otro. A pesar de ello, para el grupo PPE se presenta hoy una solución estable y duradera en beneficio de todos los europeos.

Madame la Présidente, nous sommes à la fin d’un long débat sur le pacte asile et migration qui aboutit à la veille des élections européennes, ce qui amène nécessairement une très importante dimension politique au vote qui nous attend. Pour déterminer notre vote, posons-nous trois questions. Le pacte répond-il à l’indignité dans le traitement des personnes migrantes? Répond-il au désordre des frontières? Amène-t-il les États membres à faire preuve de responsabilité collective et de solidarité? Dans les trois cas, la réponse est non. Et j’ajoute: hélas! Il est clair en effet que si on ne sait pas ce que va permettre réellement le pacte, on sait qu’il ne résoudra pas les problèmes que les États membres dénoncent. Pire, il marque des reculs sans précédent pour les droits fondamentaux tout en généralisant les procédures dérogatoires. Voilà, il y a l’impression de faire quelque chose, mais sans solution pour les pays de première entrée par exemple, et sans principe contraignant de solidarité.  Que chacun soit conscient, en outre, que le pacte n’aborde pas de questions majeures. Il est muet sur les relations avec les pays sources de migration et d’asile. Il n’aura pas d’effet sur les mouvements de personnes. Il n’y est pas question de moyens pourtant énormes à déployer concernant le pacte. Il ne dit pas un mot sur le business mortel des passeurs, pas plus que sur la nécessité d’une action européenne de «Search and Rescue», pas plus que sur les voies légales. Il parle encore moins d’intégration et évite la réflexion sur l’immigration et l’asile climatique. Il est impossible de le soutenir.

Voorzitter, commissaris, collega’s, dit is misschien wel een van de belangrijkste debatten die we hier voeren op het einde van deze zittingsperiode. Laat u niks wijsmaken door extreemlinks of extreemrechts, die elkaar blijkbaar in een duivels pact gevonden hebben om dit noodzakelijke pact te kelderen. Acht jaar lang spreken we hier al over. Eindelijk zullen we straks met de stemming hopelijk de eerste noodzakelijke stappen zetten richting een Europees asiel- en migratiepact. Neen, collega's, niet alles is perfect. Als je zoekt, zul je altijd punten van kritiek vinden. Maar weet je wat goed is aan dit pact? Eindelijk komt er een Europese aanpak. Eindelijk komen er strengere controles aan de buitengrenzen. Eindelijk komt er meer solidariteit tussen de lidstaten. Is het perfect? Neen, er moet volgens ons, de liberalen van Renew Europe, nog veel meer gebeuren. Ja, er moet ook officiële arbeidsmigratie mogelijk gemaakt worden. Ja, ik wil een nog veel hardere aanpak van mensensmokkelaars. En ja, ik zou ook heel graag die verdwenen kinderen in migratie willen beschermen. Maar collega’s, laten we nu eens eindelijk doen wat de burgers van ons verwachten. Keur dit pact goed, zorg voor een Europese aanpak en laat u niks wijsmaken door de populisten van extreemlinks of extreemrechts.

Madam President, Commissioners, we had the chance to fix a broken system – a system now in which border states bear the brunt of the responsibility, fundamental rights are flouted and impunity is the norm. This pact was our chance to share responsibility, end pushbacks, uphold the right to asylum and make reception human again.  I acknowledge the improvements. I am glad that we stimulate resettlement and that for the first time Member States must offer solidarity. But I urge them to fulfil this obligation in the only meaningful way, by offering relocation. But I am extremely worried that these rules systematically lock up asylum seekers – even families with children – at the external borders, for months on end. This law erodes the rights and safeguards of asylum seekers and risks dangerous deportations. It allows for undermining the common standards, which is exactly the opposite of what we need.  We need to foster a common policy based on mutual trust. So we are far from fixing the asylum system. Let us indeed take responsibility to finally get it right.

Pani Przewodnicząca! Otóż odtwórzmy cykl waszego myślenia według tego paktu migracyjnego. Najpierw wyrzuciliście zapisy o readmisji, czyli zatrzymywania migrantów w miejscach ich zamieszkania. Potem ograniczyliście zapisy o walce z handlarzami ludźmi. Potem piszecie tylko o obowiązkach Unii wobec migrantów, a nie migrantów wobec naszej wspólnoty. Następnie wpisaliście przymusową relokację do państw takich jak Polska lub płacenie podatku migracyjnego, 20 tys. euro od imigranta.  Co tak naprawdę zrobiliście? Tak naprawdę wysłaliście list miłosny do handlarzy ludźmi, aby wypchali jak najwięcej ludzi w morze, bo wiadomo, że i tak będą przyjęci bez żadnych kryteriów. Jakie będą tego efekty? Po pierwsze, napchacie kasę przemytnikom, pełno ludzi utonie, Europie narobicie problemów, wyciągniecie kasę od krajów takich jak Polska, a żadnego problemu nie rozwiążecie. Żadnego. Więc czas na radykalną zmianę w najbliższych wyborach. Nie głosujcie na centro-lewicę, głosujcie na tradycyjną Europę. My cofniemy te dokumenty i Zielony Ład.

Voorzitter, collega’s, wij worden overspoeld door miljoenen ongewenste asielbedriegers. Onze mensen hebben daar meer dan genoeg van. Maar wat doet de Europese Unie? Precies het omgekeerde. Met het EU-migratiepact wil ze ons kunnen verplichten nog meer asielzoekers op te nemen. Ze wil bovendien 4,5 miljoen niet-Europese vreemdelingen per jaar importeren. Het EU-migratiepact gaat helemaal niet over het verdedigen van onze grenzen tegen die asielinvasie. Het gaat over het doelbewust en georganiseerd vervangen van de Europese bevolking, de kolonisering van Europa, de zelfmoord van onze unieke Europese beschaving. Onze grenzen moeten dicht. Asiel moet per definitie in eigen regio, want onze mensen willen niet méér, maar vooral minder migratie. Dit EU-migratiepact is pure waanzin en daarvoor zal het volk jullie de rekening presenteren.

Κυρία Πρόεδρε, αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι, και ιδιαίτερα στον κ. Lenaers και στους συναδέλφους της Ομάδας Renew, ήθελα να πω ότι αυτό το παιχνίδι με τα δύο άκρα είναι πολύ επικίνδυνο, με την ιστορία των δύο άκρων. Η ομάδα μου λέγεται «η Αριστερά στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο»· δεν είναι άκρα αριστερά. Αυτή η μέρα είναι μια μαύρη μέρα ... Αυτή η μέρα είναι μια μαύρη μέρα για εμάς, για την Ελλάδα, για τις χώρες υποδοχής, για τους κατατρεγμένους. Αυτό το σύμφωνο, που πολύ πανηγυρίζετε —κι εμείς δουλέψαμε μαζί με εσάς πάρα πολύ για να είναι καλό, θετικό—, νομίζω ότι είναι μια χαμένη ευκαιρία. Γιατί; Να είμαστε σαφείς. Υπάρχει μέσα το θέμα των νόμιμων οδών μετανάστευσης που θέλαμε; Υπάρχει υποχρεωτική μετεγκατάσταση σε όλα τα κράτη μέλη χωρίς αστερίσκους, ώστε να μη γίνονται οι χώρες υποδοχής φυλακές της Ευρώπης; Εκεί διαφωνούμε. Και για το θέμα της prima facie και των δικαιωμάτων, αλλά αυτό είναι το βασικό. Τι θα πάμε να πούμε εμείς στον Έβρο;  ΟΚ. Αυτό είναι το βασικό θέμα για μας και αυτή είναι η ένστασή μας. Για αυτό η Αριστερά δεν θα το ψηφίσει.

Madam President, dear colleagues, today I want to talk about the real essence of the whole migration debate, because it has never really been about helping refugees – we all want to help people in need.  This debate, however, in its essence, is about whether or not we are able to preserve our European identity, our way of life, norms, culture and traditions. The promotion of mass migration threatens all that. It is, in reality, a social transformation project that is imposed upon the European people without, in most cases, ever asking them about their opinion and consent.  Illegal mass migration leads to the disintegration of society. It breaks down European norms. It destroys public security. The first signs of that horrible disaster are already visible in many Western European cities. Think of just France, for instance, and the brutal, horrendous murders that have become part of French life. Public safety is deteriorating. The state is losing control. Public authority is slipping out of its hands.  We in Hungary haven’t given up on defending our way of life, our security and culture. The Hungarian people have been asked about this issue and they have repeatedly rejected illegal mass migration. This is why we firmly reject this Pact.

Κυρία Πρόεδρε, αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι, η συμφωνία που ψηφίζουμε σήμερα αποτελεί μια ηχηρή απάντηση σε όσους κατηγορούν την Ένωση για αδυναμία ανταπόκρισης στα μεγάλα και σοβαρά προβλήματα των πολιτών.  Ο κανονισμός για καταστάσεις κρίσης και ανωτέρας βίας που είχα την τιμή να είμαι εισηγήτρια για την πολιτική μου ομάδα, την Oμάδα PPE, επιτρέπει στα κράτη μέλη να αντιμετωπίζουν ξαφνικές και μαζικές εισροές υπηκόων τρίτων χωρών, κατά παρέκκλιση των γενικών διατάξεων, πάντα βεβαίως με σεβασμό στα θεμελιώδη δικαιώματα των αιτούντων άσυλο. Και καταφέραμε να εντάξουμε και την εργαλειοποίηση μεταναστών —πάγια τακτική τρίτων χωρών, όπως η Τουρκία. Πρόκειται για ένα σημαντικό πολιτικό επίτευγμα, ειδικά για τα κράτη μέλη πρώτης υποδοχής, όπως η χώρα μου, η Ελλάδα.  Η νέα νομοθεσία, εφαρμόσιμη σε όλη την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, προβλέπει υποχρεωτική αλληλεγγύη μεταξύ των κρατών μελών και αναλογική κατανομή ευθυνών. Επιπρόσθετα, προβλέπει και υποχρεωτικό αντιστάθμισμα από τις χώρες που συνεισφέρουν ώστε να καλυφθεί το 100% των αναγκών του κράτους μέλους σε κρίση. Τέλος, θεωρώ αναγκαίο να επισημάνω ότι επιτέλους τα δίκαια αιτήματα των χωρών πρώτης υποδοχής ικανοποιούνται.
