Replying to Avatar Carlo Gubitosa :nonviolenza:

"The people of Europe have shown they are willing to help those fleeing war and persecution. But there is a growing sense of frustration, stemming from their impression that our rules are being ignored.

[...] We must be serious about returning rejected asylum seekers to their home countries. We cannot have a situation where only 20 percent of those who are not allowed to stay actually leave Europe. We therefore need to agree quickly on the Common European System for Returns."

"Climate change is making each summer hotter, harsher, and more dangerous. This is why we have to radically step up our efforts into climate resilience and adaptation, and nature-based solutions. But we must also give ourselves the tools to respond. This is why we will propose to create a new European firefighting hub based in Cyprus, which could also support our regional neighbours."

"I believe that we need to move to qualified majority in some areas, for example in foreign policy. It is time to break free from the shackles of unanimity. The point is that we need to make sure our Union is faster and can deliver for Europeans. Because this is how we can win this fight together. To deliver Europe’s independence moments."
