Pani predsedajúca, prečo už nedáte Európe s tou gender ideológiou, prosím vás, pokoj? Slovenská republika odmietla ratifikovať Istanbulský dohovor. Ja som bol poslancom slovenského parlamentu, hlasoval som proti nemu a som na to hrdý. A vy sa nám to teraz pokúšate nanútiť tým, že dáte o tom hlasovať na úrovni celej Európskej únie. To považujem proste za nehoráznosť. Feministky tu rozprávajú, že Istanbulský dohovor treba akceptovať kvôli tomu, lebo násilie na ženách vzrastá. Ale násilie na ženách vzrastá aj v krajinách, v ktorých Istanbulský dohovor platí, čiže to nemá s tým nič spoločné. My odmietame Istanbulský dohovor kvôli tomu, že ženský rod je tam definovaný genderovo. Že za ženu je považovaný aj muž. Hovorím o tom, že Slovenská republika odmietla ratifikovať Istanbulský dohovor, a ja som v tom čase bol poslancom Národnej rady, čiže slovenského parlamentu, a hlasoval som proti ratifikácii Istanbulského dohovoru. A som na to hlasovanie hrdý, pretože s tým znením jednoducho a skrátka nesúhlasíme. Nemá to nič spoločné s tým, že by sme, samozrejme, chceli odmietať alebo podporovať nebodaj nejako násilie na ženách alebo niečo podobné. Samozrejme, že nie. Problém Istanbulského dohovoru je ten, že žena je tam definovaná genderovo, to znamená cez rod, a nie cez biologické pohlavie. A my proste odmietame to, aby za ženy v budúcnosti boli považovaní, ľudovo povedané, aj prezlečení muži. Pretože pre mňa bude ženou vždy len žena. A žiadne uznesenie Parlamentu ani Istanbulský dohovor to proste nezmení. Feministky tu rozprávali o tom, že treba schváliť Istanbulský dohovor, aby sa zamedzilo násiliu na ženách. Ale vidíte, že násilie na ženách je, a dokonca niektorých krajinách a rastie. Aj v tých štátoch, v ktorých Istanbulský dohovor platí. Čiže to nemá s tým nič spoločné, a týmto spôsobom sa tomu predísť ani nedá. Je to vždy o výchove, o spoločenskej zrelosti a, samozrejme, o spoločenskej úcte. Ale k tomu treba ľudí viesť, a nie im to prikazovať cez uznesenia Európskeho parlamentu.

Arvoisa puhemies, ensinnäkin kansainväliset sopimukset sitovat, olipa niistä henkilökohtaisesti mitä mieltä tahansa, ja naiset ovat ihmisiä. Heille kuuluvat ihmisoikeudet ja niin myös seksuaali- ja lisääntymisterveysoikeudet. Pekingin sopimus ja Istanbulin sopimus ovat sitovaa kansainvälistä lainsäädäntöä. Et voi myöskään siksi, että olet eri mieltä oikealla tai vasemmalla puolella ajamisesta, itse rikkoa liikennesääntöjä ja sanoa, että se on mielipideasia ja subsidiariteettiasia, ja päätätkin sitten ajaa ihan mitä nopeutta tahansa missä tahansa. Vihdoin, melkein kahdenkymmenen vuoden odotuksen jälkeen saamme tämän Istanbulin konvention ratifioinnin tänne parlamenttiin ja sitä seuraavan direktiivin. Kyllä, myös väkivalta miehiä kohtaan on kielletty. Kyllä, se on kansainvälisessä rikoslainsäädännössä, mutta tämä väkivaltakäsitys ei tunnista riittävässä määrin naisiin kohdistuvaa erityisväkivallan muotoa, seksuaalista, fyysistä, ennen kaikkea vihapuhetta, mentaalista ja psyykkistä ja hyvin suurelta osin rakenteellista väkivaltaa.  Siksi tarvitsemme erityislainsäädännön, joka puuttuu kaikkiin näihin väkivallan muotoihin, myöskin psyykkiseen, rakenteelliseen ja myös täällä tapahtuneeseen vihapuheeseen, johon, arvoisa puhemies, virallisesti ilmoitan ja pyydän teitä puuttumaan omalta osaltanne täällä käytetyn kielen osalta, joka mielestäni täyttää kriteerit epäasiallisesta käytöksestä.

I would like to clarify to you now the question of the blue card, with your permission. ‘The President may give the floor to Members who indicate, by raising a blue card, their wish to put to another Member, during that Member’s speech, a question of no longer than half a minute’s duration related to what that Member has said’. And now: ‘the President shall only do so if the Speaker agrees to the question’. So many of you were right and I was wrong. I was ill—informed.  It seems that the focus group proposed that, nevertheless, the Member should be able to present the 30—second blue card, but the AFCO Committee has not followed the focus group. So we follow, of course, what the committee has proposed to the rules and the plenary adopted.  So you were right and I was wrong. I’m sorry for that. So we will follow that practice from now on, of course.

Sehr geehrte Frau Präsidentin! Es ehrt Sie, denn Fehler machen wir alle, bloß, Fehler muss man dann korrigieren und alles ist gut. Ich möchte als allererstes Danke sagen. Ich möchte Danke an alle Demokratinnen und Demokraten hier im Hause sagen, die über viele Jahre hinweg dafür gekämpft haben, dass es so wird, wie es jetzt kommt, dass die Istanbul-Konvention auch von der EU selbst unterschrieben wird. Und ich möchte auch unserer Kommissarin Helena Dalli ganz herzlich Danke sagen. Wir wären nicht so weit ohne dich an dieser Position.  Ich möchte Punkte nennen, die nichts mit der Istanbul-Konvention zu tun haben, denn wir haben schon vieles gehört, was klar dazu gehört. Was gehört nicht dazu? Die ewig dummen, gestrigen Argumente, in unserer Kultur oder in unserer Tradition würde es nicht möglich sein, die Istanbul-Konvention zu unterschreiben. Dieses Argument lasse ich nicht zählen. Ein weiteres Argument, das in der EU niemals zählen darf: Dass manche Mitgliedsländer glauben, die Kirche würde entscheiden, was bei uns Recht und Gesetz ist. Nein, es entscheidet nicht die Kirche. In Europa entscheidet nicht die Kirche, was Recht und Gesetz ist, sondern wir im demokratischen Parlament.  Und als dritter Punkt, und das muss nochmal ganz deutlich gemacht werden: Private Gewalt kann nie, nie und nochmals niemals privat sein. Private Gewalt wirkt sich auf die Gesellschaft insgesamt aus. Deswegen wird sie von uns bekämpft, jeden Tag, jede Nacht, jede Minute, jede Sekunde.

Voorzitter, eindelijk: de Europese Unie treedt toe tot het Verdrag van Istanbul. Het sterkste wettelijke kader, dat meisjes en vrouwen nu kan helpen en kan beschermen tegen geweld. En dan bedoel ik ook echt alle vrouwen. Het is heel hard nodig omdat een aantal bewegingen en organisaties in Europa proberen terug te draaien waar we zo hard voor hebben gewerkt. Dat zijn destructieve, fascistische anti-genderbewegingen die geen respect hebben voor de rechten van vrouwen, die geen respect hebben voor de lhbti-gemeenschap en die geen respect hebben voor mensenrechten. Deze bewegingen horen hier niet thuis.  We moeten keihard terugslaan met nieuwe wetgeving, ervoor zorgen dat deze wetgeving, dat dit verdrag doet wat het moet doen, namelijk de grondrechten van meisjes en vrouwen beschermen. Want als het aan die anti-genderbewegingen ligt, doen we dat niet en dat is ontzettend gevaarlijk. Wij moeten onze rol als wetgever en als politici serieus nemen en begrijpen wat hier nu aan de hand is. Want er worden rechten ontnomen waar we keihard voor hebben gewerkt.  Daarom ben ik blij dat we het Verdrag van Istanbul hebben. We moeten er pal voor staan en we zullen nog meer wetten moeten maken om ervoor te zorgen dat dat lasterlijke, schadelijke discours in dit geval geen invloed meer heeft op het leven van meisjes en vrouwen.

And I’m not going to have a discussion with you about whether the Istanbul Convention is effective or not. The thing is that these are facts that we are basing ourselves on. The Istanbul Convention is not something that we made up. The facts are there. And this is the very right approach that we need to undertake through legislation. And what we also need to fight is your way of spreading information, because it’s misinformation. And that kind of information that you are spreading is a true danger to the lives of women and girls because you are denying the fact that something is wrong. And that’s exactly what we need to fight.

Fru talman! Man brukar säga att den farligaste platsen för en kvinna är hemmet. Man borde säga att det överhuvudtaget inte finns några trygga rum för kvinnor. Det är sjukt att vi har vant oss vid det här, att rubrik efter rubrik om mördade kvinnor inte leder till massprotester. Det är lika ofattbart att det är just kvinnor som gör mest för att arbeta mot mäns våld mot kvinnor. Det är kvinnor som driver frågan politiskt, det är kvinnor som debatterar, som demonstrerar, som skriker, att det här måste få ett slut. Var är alla de män som tycker att det är för jävligt att kvinnor hatas, hotas, misshandlas och dödas? Att EU förbinder sig till Istanbulkonventionen, det är en stor sak. Att EU vill bekämpa och följa upp arbetet mot mäns våld mot kvinnor. Nu måste vi se till att orden blir till verklighet.

Madam President, they call it the Istanbul Convention; it should have been about women in biology, not gender ideology. We as a society have the duty to prevent and combat any kind of violence against women. But what is a woman? Apparently, this Parliament cannot define the term anymore. A woman, regardless of the age, is not a matter of feeling or the decision of a political majority, nor a social construct, as this Convention claims, but an ontological, biological and genetical reality that is clearly different than a man. Acknowledging even in the law that a man who can identify as a woman is a woman is simply absurd and actually the biggest threat to women. A man can claim that he identifies as a car, but that doesn’t mean that in a sane society we give that person a licence plate instead of an ID card. This gender ideology is clearly undermining womankind and is a dream come true for male perverts who can claim now that they identify as women and are allowed to serve sentences in female prisons where in some instances they left some pregnant. To protect women against any kind of violence and abuse, we need to define first their identity, which is not a matter of feeling, but a matter of ontological, biological and genetical fact, which is different than that of a man.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, il drammatico problema dell'aumento della violenza contro le donne deve essere una priorità. Mentre tanti gruppi parlano di parità di genere e di combattere le disuguaglianze portando avanti proposte poco concrete, dovremmo tutti quanti concentrarci su soluzioni concrete che devono essere date dagli Stati membri. Non è certo risolutiva la convenzione di Istanbul, dove tra le righe si legge la volontà di introdurre l'ideologia gender. Quello che serve è altro, non ideologie LGBT. Onestamente non credo che a una donna violentata, a una bambina infibulata o a una ragazza bullizzata su internet interessi particolarmente che nelle scuole vengano distribuiti materiali didattici sui ruoli di genere non stereotipati. Quello che serve davvero è trovare, ad esempio, un pronto riscontro da parte autorità: lo sappiamo che tante volte non si denuncia per la lentezza delle risposte e per la preoccupazione delle ripercussioni tra il momento del fatto e l'adozione dei provvedimenti. Ho sentito troppo spesso la frase "ok, mi dite di denunciare, ma prima che vengano prese delle decisioni cosa faccio? Mi devo barricare in casa?". Per questo sono orgogliosa del governo del mio partito, perché in Italia è stato promotore del codice rosso e, pochi giorni fa, di quello cosiddetto "rafforzato". Questo è quello che serve, perché dobbiamo dirlo chiaramente: il numero accettabile di donne vittime di violenza, di ogni tipo di violenza, deve essere zero.

Comunque nelle scuole non deve essere introdotta l'ideologia di genere, la LGBT e quant'altro, si deve insegnare il rispetto. Un collega qui ha parlato bene prima, ha detto che "il rispetto per la donna manca soprattutto in determinate culture" e non è certo introducendo ideologie LGBT o di gender o discutendo di queste cose che noi aiuteremo queste donne.

Κυρία Πρόεδρε, κύριοι συνάδελφοι, μετά από έξι χρόνια καθυστερήσεων, η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση κυρώνει τη Σύμβαση της Κωνσταντινούπολης, το πρώτο νομικά δεσμευτικό διεθνές μέσο για την πρόληψη και την καταπολέμηση της βίας κατά των γυναικών και των κοριτσιών. Είναι ιστορική μέρα στον αγώνα για την καταπολέμηση της έμφυλης και ενδοοικογενειακής βίας.  Η κύρωση της σύμβασης είναι ένα κρίσιμο βήμα για την προστασία των δικαιωμάτων των γυναικών και των θυμάτων βίας σε ολόκληρη την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. Ενισχύει την προστασία όλων των θυμάτων, την πρόληψη και τη δίωξη αυτών των φρικτών εγκλημάτων με ολοκληρωμένο τρόπο σε όλα τα κράτη μέλη της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.  Είμαι πολύ υπερήφανη που συνέβαλα καταλυτικά με την έκθεσή μου για τον αντίκτυπο της ενδοοικογενειακής βίας, που είχα την τιμή να είμαι εισηγήτρια του Ευρωπαϊκού Κοινοβουλίου, και που με την πίεση όλου του Κοινοβουλίου, πετύχαμε αυτή την ιστορική εξέλιξη.  Η κύρωση της σύμβασης από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση είναι μεγάλη νίκη των προοδευτικών πολιτικών δυνάμεων απέναντι στη συντήρηση και την οπισθοδρόμηση, και οφείλουν τα έξι κράτη μέλη που δεν το έχουν κάνει ακόμα να επικυρώσουν τη σύμβαση χωρίς καθυστέρηση.

Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, dal mio ingresso al Parlamento europeo nel 2014 mi sono sempre battuta affinché la convenzione di Istanbul venisse prima firmata e poi ratificata. Credevo che il percorso travagliato fosse passato con la firma, ma la ratifica diventa un po' come l'epico viaggio di Ulisse, una vera e propria Odissea. Mai come adesso la convenzione è ancora più necessaria. Gli eventi che stanno sconvolgendo il mondo hanno aumentato l'immigrazione in Europa, conosciamo bene la situazione in paesi di approdo come l'Italia, lasciati soli a gestire un fenomeno in continuo aumento. In un contesto multiculturale come quello in cui viviamo oggi è importante avere una legislazione omogenea, che stabilisca degli standard minimi per i governi nella prevenzione e nella condanna della violenza contro le donne, poiché per alcune culture, ancora oggi, la donna non ha diritti, può essere picchiata, può essere stuprata, può essere infibulata e data in sposa come bambina. Penso alla ragazza pakistana uccisa in Italia per aver rifiutato un matrimonio combinato o alla ragazza stuprata in stazione qualche giorno fa da un marocchino a Milano, o alla poliziotta violentata a Napoli alla fine del suo turno da un bengalese, o a una quindicenne violentata da immigrati africani, di seconda generazione, alla festa del Partito Democratico. Gli stupratori sono scappati, irreperibili, e la sinistra si è contraddistinta per un silenzio assordante. La ratifica della convenzione lancia un chiaro messaggio a tutte queste persone: in Europa le donne hanno diritti, in Europa le donne sono protette, in Europa non rimarrete impuniti. Abbiamo combattuto per decenni per i nostri diritti e non abbiamo intenzione di arretrare.

Secondly, I must say that today we are happy that the EPP Group apparently will support in the vote tomorrow that the EU is adhering to the Istanbul Convention. But for many years the EPP was against, and today we see how they look to the extreme right to make alliances and coalitions. And the extreme right – those are the people that want to annihilate women’s rights and gender equality and LGBTI rights. So I’m just asking the EPP: what will you do? There are six countries – in most of them the EPP is in power – that haven’t ratified the Istanbul Convention. What are you doing to make sure that we can actually fight against violence against women, not only in the European Parliament, but also in your national countries, which belong to your group? What are you doing?

Ciò detto, non si può dire a qualcuno, a una ragazzina che è stata stuprata o a qualcuno che viene ucciso, non si può dire che bisogna fare una diversificazione tra colori, perché questo accade. In Italia è stata uccisa barbaramente una ragazzina perché non si voleva sposare e su questo noi non possiamo fare i radical chic. La politica non è dei radical chic, la politica è proteggere i cittadini, proteggere le donne e proteggere gli indifesi. Siamo qui per questo e io la politica dei radical chic non la faccio.
