also law firm deadline and made a declaration of war. van makes me a jesus, anyone who wants to help me strengthen and grow europe to help make it flourish, will have me at his or her side is a passionate fighter. like, but anyone who wants to weaken and divide europe and strip it of its values will find to be a fierce opponent. i know a bit that's a geek, not on the in 2022. it's of the, the sub strongest economy in the you elected. it's 1st female prime minister. do your jump, maloney lead to of the right wing nationalist policy. you've got tele di talia. in her campaign speeches, she have made it clear who should call the shots in europe. the capital of italy as rome and rome should be the capital of the european union. i would like to bring this demand to the european parliament

a meeting between from the line i'm maloney in july of 20. 23. is this how 2 opponents greece each other again and again the $2.00 pay ups together acting like allies, as maloney moved to the center or from the lion to the right. supposedly these 2 women represent 2 opposing political visions about europe's future. a stronger, more centralized you or a d centralized union featuring more powerful nation states. about $350000000.00 europeans will elect their representatives to the parliament from judas 6 to the 9th post predict that right wing policies will gain ground, which could significantly change the cost of the you. how much compromise can europe toner rates? what is the political red line? the,

the european nicola mentioned strasburg from m. p. 's of focusing on the final set of proposed rules and regulations before the upcoming election. these regulations will affect the lives of people across the continent. warranty your opponents. so even further to the right, initially they wanted to have bullish the you. now they are aiming for a radical change of european policy modernization. we don't want to see you. and yet this bureaucratic monster with its negative effects for germany, but the confederation of european nations, that's you on the right, left and center over at present legitimate political positions. but the more radical the storms, the less willing its proponents to compromise, done. and this the like funds that have lived in west and brussels for 20 years. all based on your own. it's a european union is

a union of 27 sovereign member states. when the states are holding elections in the ship to the right, we see, and the results cast a long shadow, full house dob you've already had right wing victories in some large e u. countries like italy suite in finland. and now most recently the netherlands exist. so that can be done on this is already having an impact with a house in the european holloman's m. p. 's do not sold themselves by national policies, but into groups with similar political platforms. the pro european camp still has a majority consisting of the center rights liberals center left on the screen. the parliament contains 2 right wing sections. one is held right with the strong e u. skeptics or opponents of the union. its members come mainly from fonts in germany. members of the other faction described themselves as motor. ridley writes,

they include representatives from georgia malone. these policies will publish, empties from the p. i. s. policy which citizens facing inflation high energy costs will and the flow of refugees, those offering simple solutions, come school, political points. i don't find value this. i like to have all the polls say that there will be a shift to the right. so this and this means that nationalism right, we can populous. let's find some post fascists who make gains in the pro european can, could become weaker log arbitration. we have them could to right wing m e p's, blame economic problems on you policy and want to strengthen national interests. they favor a policy of holland folders directed against migration in from, for example, selves declared french patriots. so taking to the streets in protest, boosting the standing a phone right lead, marine the pen. she claims migration is leading to a distance,

a gratian of national identity, and says friends would be best represented in a loose confederation states. she is calling for the election of her e u candidates. and that is one of what we must all stand behind. jordan bardello love. he will represent the voices and aspirations of millions of patriots who reject this. you're a pistol due to a sort of fun cause the situation in france is worrisome because marine the pen and her national rally party are ahead in the polls on the form of the low pens. nice monthly old malisha is running for another right wing policy and the european election campaign, greek home kits request. it's not phone calls for reclaiming power from the you and the country from foreigners, against as long as they shouldn't in security and unrest, long live brand. these days campaigns play out on social media. maxine media and car lead you candidate for the a if the a policy being monitored by the german domestic intelligence service is very active

online. cars to radical, even for french and italian hold line is who voted to kick the a if the out of the right wing id parliamentary group beyond the, if the is not against your it is against the, the use with its bureaucracy, putting the country into debt and leading us into war keeps his videos short and simple. he avoids complexity and target says view as emotions without context, his messages cannot be verified and initially appear plausible. in germany and from right wing policies have high poll really things. but i'm not, yes and government not so it should be the right wing. prime minister is very aware of how public image i am the strive that's the danger to democracy, to a tale and you will be in an international stability. do your jump, maloney, it has been head of government since october 2022. her policy lays out

a new nationalism build as traditional chris some conservative and critical of islam full ha, national interest from stats of the european community. and her election campaign speeches, she made it clear, but it's really which set the tone and most allow the easier to dictate anything the capital of italy is rome and rome should be the capital of the european union. i would like to bring this demand to the european parliament to understand why the repeal election campaign is all about climate policy migration and the future of the you. you have to look back when also the funded lion took office in 2019 the fulls of ton demik, the war into crane and the economic crisis. so you address the issues of the day, shift bottom of the deer, members of parliament in july,

immediately after my appointment, i placed climate protection at the heart of my political program. this was the people of europe who called on us to take decisive action against climate change. it was europeans who raised their voices on the streets and at the ballot box for the while. it is for them that we are here today, and it is for them that we are presenting such an ambitious green deal for your appraisal of a box to vast to bundle up. we'll see on the suit. the green deal is the use um, such as a catastrophic consequences of climate change. it's stipulates and, and to your apps, greenhouse gas emissions the you wants to funnel one trillion yours into sustainable power generation effect just building insulation and new mobility concepts for the transformation of industry and so sorry. so the green deals sets out the guidelines which parliament and member states all to implement.

m p 's and the european parliament has been working since 2019 to implement from the lions climate program. one of them is french m e. p a who is a social democrats, the financial experts is looking for as the weights of finance, the climate agenda sick on that was one that helped us out and we need money to drive ecological and social change. gu, 7, it requires astronomical amounts of public investment to prevent people from becoming unemployed, particularly and to enable industrial transformation. in short, but we need public money on that does not ask them to read least ideas for how to finance the green deal is to tax the rich. she wants to introduce the european tax on welf left. security de taxation is about social justice. who said, basically the very rich today are taxed much less than the middle class and the poor is just more. yeah. which we think is completely unjust. notices put that,

but they avoid paying taxes even though they have the means to pay them $1200.00 or $300.00 times over. what is the, what's possible flooded and get back with me up. she says the walls at 1st a basic consensus across the political camps on the priority of the climate program, but that consensus is now falling upon us. working today there is an increase in the number of climate skeptics in europe. new hop. i'm really worried about data to be you critics and writing in populace such as mother you will not be shy from from christmas all use the european climate program and reject any regulation. maximilian cause even doubts. there's an urgent need for a climate program. actual climate nonsense. they believe the world will in because it's getting warmer. it's highly getting voices of joining those critical if the plan you're not in june 2022. shortly before thinking of this, this prime minister, georgia maloney attacked funder lions climate program during his speech in spain as

well informed them and that is mostly magical. the fox, the way of them calling its climate fund dimension, is in the i thought the american maloney has given to lay out hub version of a climate policy that would not affect jobs or economic growth fund a lot and reacted strategically via telling him slumped as auster in may 2023, provided her with a template show support and that the same time use these occasions to narrow the gap for methods of climate policy a winning strategy in the european parliament italian m p is trying to put the brakes on climate policies that dogs to georgia maloney instead of having a lot of these mountain and brussels is her right wing nation of this policy. calling nicola pul, catching me, he is one of 2 leaders of the european conservatives, and reformist,

o e. c. o for schultz. he let the successful assets of tool peter legislation restricting the use of pesticides. i'm protecting bio diversity. i'm consuming news all day. if you to 5 machines a the use of pesticides. what's your name? let us note with great satisfaction that the proposal that was put to a vote, which would have massacred italian agriculture has not been passed. it must suck it out. but when i go to the yeah not the you wants to hold the use of chemical pesticides by 2030 but to tell you m m e p as in other right wing and conservative policies rejects pulsing binding regulations. like maloney who could see me is in favor of prioritizing, national over you wide interest critics via the of the member states taking up the italian approach would lead to a growing gap of interest leading to conflicts that cannot be resolved. one

of them is m e p. o, who look from the social democrats. she says the answer to the via tele ins already seems to be rubbing off of the members of parliament. the center right is moving further to the ranks. it started, i caught in select, that is the fear and we are already feeling it who lives because we have seen that a far right government in italy is already changed. the positions of the european right in since then to european right is becoming much more climate. the skeptical . uh it does you and rejects proposals that would have been adopted in the past the, the fixed of all you customer g slip. i see if i choose ations are aimed at the sense of rights. that's as the conservatives. and with that, perhaps the most powerful, i mean the heads of the largest complimentary group monthly to be about in europe. he is the policy and parliamentary group leader of the european peoples parties,

the iep in germany, who use the deputy policy lead of the christian social union to csu. the majority of the best complimentary group joined the right wing italians around nicola pul, cuz she me and voted against from deadlines. pesticide restrictions is be about group reaching out to the rights and extreme rights. v by says the p has for will not clear guidelines on most of these cases. this does the what is not acceptable. is that those who bear responsibilities here in the european parliament reject the project and such just reject the european idea of a democratic year of working together. that is the red line. that is the firewall. we need a page if it's before the p p. there are 3 central criteria. i think the 1st everyone we work with must accept today 0 bennett structures. i want to help shape it. the 2nd is, anyone who wants to be a partner for us today must to work with ukraine was must support is a real system, must ensure that we support those who stand up for our values. and the 3rd

principle, we must defend the rule of law. that means supporting independent media and an independent judiciary. i rolled out cooperation from my party with the a, a d, with kuchinski, with a p i, as in poland with a, with a pin in france. because these people cross those red lines, it's a clear rejection of the extreme right. so position to europe. however, that is a convergence between the interests of the p p and those of mold mold or right wing m e p's, such as the italian nationalist surround and you cannot pull catchy me. both have down plate the importance of climate issues and their election campaigns. the center rights as partly adopting the stones at the right wing come that even supports efforts to reverse and that to climate policy. decisions from that lions green deal is on the fire. the president needs to adopt her agenda with a problem and shift to the right migration has replaced climate change as the issue

at the top of the priority list. how is your p and policy changing in this area? under the growing influence of the running in 2020 from that lion rejected right wing politicians. the isolation this to color seems we are convinced that each human being has a solemn dignity set can never be touched. independent with this individual does come from an obviously the extreme right has a different view. a tate has never given any good advice. so we will always insist on the effect. so this, this makes you and where you, this makes them i read because we got him on the point where he sees that high are

on the different. so what that is concern and that is democracy. you'll have to bear with me piece of fluid. her speech best in 2020, but the use on this on the coming to sign the migration policy will be a major point of contention in the coming years. it's a lease maloney was unequivocal on the subject during her 2022 election campaign. no no, to mass migration, no to as long as the violence. yes to secure borders. responding to the pressure from her supposes maloney tried to reach a bilateral agreement with attorneys. yeah. most of the migraines and refugees who make their way to it. so the lead from the negotiations showed us in the alone does not have enough money to offer, and the talks were abandoned. all the while more and more people trust the mediterranean into europe. between 20222023. the regular entries into the

continents increased by 50 percent public perception of the issue became a challenge for governments across europe. most of the fund deadline can travel to to media in july of 2023 to sign in the agreement on behalf of the e. u. a deal much like the one maloney was unable to achieve for to the alone. she invited middle need to join her, allowing the italian prime minister to follow up on her 1st meeting with the 2 nation president. we will work with tanisha on an anti smuggling operational partnership. we will also increase our for the nation on the search and rescue operations. as we agreed that we will cooperate on board of management and to smuggling reach on to dressing root causes in full respect of the international law . thank you very much for the, for your tireless work from that it was the solution. very much initiatives

interested in the you promise to nisha financial aid of up to 900000000 euros. the new e you packed on assign them and migrations focused on co operation with countries of refuge or trends that will those the approach follow tasks of previous agreements such as the one with turkey in 2016 critics. note the use growing tendency to steal itself off the tendency they attribute to the continents political shift to the rise. shortly after the agreements with signs in september 2023 conditions on the italian island of blanca to socco, from 5 to west, with ever more refugees arriving from tunisia also from de leon, from us to help by deploying from tx the european buddha and coast guard agency, maloney insisted she would take to fax will not allow italy to become durable refugee camp. they would all the agreements caused much discussion and brussels partly because parliament was most involved. tanisha have recently attracted

attention for human rights violations and even rejected. some you financial aid for mains to be seen, whether the agreement to hold critics fee of the deal forged with whatever it takes mentality will undermine you. values when also the from the, into the office. she promised everyday people the citizens of europe would be given more ways to take pos and efforts to shape the future of europe. to this and you officials organize the convention in 2022, in which 800 randomly selected europeans came together, develop their ideas for the future of europe. at the same time, it sent out large scale citizens surveys. the results of these efforts were clear. people wanted more rights to the european parliament and less nationalism the in september of

2023 in her law states that the union speech before the election funded lion took stock and outlined the possible woods that european votes has had cooled for very long lived europe long labor as if any election, it will be the time for people to reflect on the state of our union and the work done by those that we present them. but it would also be a time to decide on what kind of future and what kind of a europe they want. from the unit, a member of the conservative city you is comparatively progressive in have policies and supports developing that you you further. and i will always support this house and all of those want to reform the european union to make it work better for citizens. and yes, that means including a european convention entry to change if and where it is needed.

honda lion supports for forming the e u, which would require 3 t changes since its beginning the european, the idea has been based on the comprehensive sets of treaties. every step towards grace or co operation has been based on new treaty regulations that define exactly who has won't power tracy amendments on massive interventions and the complex sets of rules. and require the consent of member states and the heads of government. an e. you so much of government leaders is held in brussels at least 4 times a year. the e u currently has 27 member states as stipulated of the treaty agreements. that means 27 heads of governments have a stay in key european issues such as finance, foreign policy. i'm security. because decisions must be unanimous agreements

usually take a long time to reach the spring kind goes off and i'm not a big fan of these late night meetings, but sometimes they're necessary. yeah, because we know we can't leave here tonight without a result. because then europe would be at loggerheads and would have nothing to show for its efforts by him. i'm the session when i gave him this last one person responsible for many a long night. is victor all on the right wing? conservative prime minister of hungry. in december 2023. he used his veto to stop you age for you. cream critic, see this located as an attempt to accept pressure on the european union. this is the state to screw with only 27 member states. where the e u to grow even further, the unanimity principle might well make the union ungovernable. among other things,

the reform of the you with more powerful parliament. i'm the commission would mean replacing this principle with a majority principle and the nationalist among the heads of governments, such as all done for hungry or maloney for its lead, oppose this change the the turbulent crises in recent years have already saw from the rules. because ad hoc solutions when needed to react quickly. relevant tracy's were interpreted to creatively. during the time to make the e, you stood united's behind from deadline, and developing, and distributing vaccines in record time. the commission has negotiated the broadest portfolio of vaccine candidates so that the vaccine nations can start immediately. then the states followed suit,

knowing full well they was strong together. i'm would not be able to handle the situation, but so on their own. * * it was just the shots we had vaccine procurement and health policy at the you levels. we never had that before. i mean, it's not in the you treaties in his 20 years as a european reports of ethic funds that has never seen such an expansion of houses within the european union. a clipping funder lion is pulling the strings to put it bluntly. that's what she rules over brussels like a clean green even the gum will definitely under phone the light and we've gotten a bigger year of we have something like a double budget in addition to the regular you budget and see if we have the budget of a coven recovery fund. it means more power for the you commission, which controls disbursements. and then there's defense amendments and so on. yes,

that's why even close to one. so what the what the status of war in ukraine from the lion found herself at the center of foreign and defense policy for europe. which is also not the costs of how far she under e. u. treaties. until recently, the e u commission was primarily in the administrative body, responsible for regulatory issues relating to the internal markets in the budgets. how a condo takes was seen as a purely national mess up for the to the governments. and the capitals books from the lion is now standing alongside major players against russia. thanks for giving europe greater visibility on the world stage via happens. we had a systematically worked on putting together a large sanctions package to them to stay in on the and by we, i mean the european commission along with the us, the u. k. and canada. the nationalists among member states. this goes too far.

they feel a strong you. leadership means a lot of powerful men, the states. they do not want any you tracy reform that would give to union even more power nicola pull, cuz she need joe john malone. these man and brussels gave an imposing press conference the day before the european parliament voted on whether to tackle changes to the you treat, she gets the whole country me and his right wing out of always wants to prevent this as a cost the the possibility of being eligible usage, unimportant you issues and transferring further national power to the you is unacceptable to them. the whole cups she is in the same parliamentary group as is punish colleague tied to your smart ski. he believes that whether you use the game even more power. it would become

a european superstate and the poland would disappear. it can be resumed in one sentence. so we are against hijacking europe by this anti democratic anti federal project. the to turn us, we know into a super state the right wing nationalist nick while i pull cuz she knew also things . the co issue is a simple question of direction pissing nation states against the you for our group . this battle is the mother of the budgets. this is something that we will face now in the next year in the elections and forever. the day of the votes. parliament was being off to decide whether to follow us enough on the lions. there's much more in europe. oh, for the right wing alliances to brook this efforts.

during the last few minutes to follow the decisive boot. emmy p. o. luke and hugs. he were getting ready. alongside comfortable e. u. tracy amendments. the with many of the issues on the docket, luke knew how she wants to to those on her bills that needed to be briefed by her team in many efforts spearheaded by her colleagues, the invalid. we will work together because i have been following economic issues such as taxation before. so say to my political group, here's what i advise you to vote for on economic and fiscal issues and vice versa. you know that some of the big question of the day was whether to allow the treaties to be changed the by opening the door to move, the centralized european power luke's also was clear, yes. to new treaties. and the more powerful ok course. in my opinion,

the construction of europe must always move forward. we must never give up on it. jimmy on full 705 m e p is in the house headed to the same destination. the plan to retain the monthly vba leader of the conservative type voice, his support for a more powerful e u. parliament. the collapse will catch. he needs his motor rich, right weight infection and the extreme rights in parliament have come out against the initiative. the okay guys, following me, i thought are you the, the, the, the, the changes video control center isn't the media room located. it's holly above the

m e. p. o. meetings are recorded with several cameras. the day was going to be of loosing marisol was against what stains rejected. 93, who's in favor, who's against web stains adopt it's 369 who's in favor? who's against what stands? adopted for 5 full by rote. let's check 369. vote is open 369, a doing this for 3 hours. it's really, really hard. the. you have to, to be very careful, very foxes. because a, you have a list and you must be very careful to don't make a mistake here. the old of course, and vote on the you treaties. the majority of parliament is still pro

european. the results for this clause adopted the parliament voted in favor of allowing changes to the treaties. it was a defeat for an equal output, catchy me, but one that could be robust down the road. the boats have decided nothing in terms of contents and had only authorized that treating negotiations could begin in principle. for the votes will take place off to the european elections and whole cups. she hopes these will keep the balance of power in his favor according to full costs. his complimentary group could grow from 68 to almost 90 seats. and so we think that these, this power, we can use it to, to achieve the goal. so our agenda and i know very well that the tell you on the

legation uh could be one of the biggest in the, in this parliament, the or maybe the biggest. but so i think we have this opportunity to show that the and now the european union use possible use aiming for an alliance who's foreign policies would protect you voters and who's domestic policies would protect you month that the hope states can otherwise pursue their own interests. nicola poke, she needs parliamentary group, describes itself as moderately right suppose of georgia maloney's coalition partner . initially, the more radical league, our policy belonged to the extreme right wing identity and democracy group and the european parliament. it also includes frances national riley policy and used to include the a f d because the representatives of the italian delegation different in the radicalism

. it is difficult to draw a strict boundary line for co operation. this is because the european parliament center of power is expected to shift off to the election. the to right wing groups could be the big windows, the motor written right when easy, all is expected to grow. and the extreme right when id function could become parliament stud, strongest force, the pro european come with a center, right, group the liberals, the center. let's group. and the greens will likely lose seats but will still form a significant block. the right wing groups are likely to achieve the majority in parliament, but with around the corner of the seats they could cause significant disruption. further development of pan european regulations would be made more difficult and requiring more unity within the pro european come

with the election day looming, the focus among and the pieces on building future alliances. the these days lead the mass starts work to it says things are getting serious, millions are being asked and, and what will your future the use future look like? you can see the main concern, just how many right wing extremists, those i fight against who reject europe and the concept of cooperation are there and kick these config. vba is a veteran. he has been in m e p for 20 years. ready for a decade, he's left the largest political group, the conservative e p. p. head of the election, emmy piece from his and the other part of entry groups, queued up outside his door to co ordinate the policy positions with his. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready dimensions on and on. people want to know where do i stand, where are we going?

that's where you have a responsibility to gain beyond thoughts default and let them be about discussed how the p p will continue to position itself with fellow group member who bass. i'm it sort of the all star camera crew to lean. ready ready vba and his complementary groups opposition. so from the lions closed on climate policy has led many in brussels to wonder what cooperation will look like off to the election. easy to debate. i also love to argue, i love political discussions, but i always want to do it in a way that doesn't tear down bridges. that allows us to still find a way to work together, you know, but she did. according to european correspondence, it becomes a vba seeking a compromise with from the lion. but there is a history behind the complicated relationship between these 2 political power plants isn't here that it is certainly

a game with assign roles who could be very smart enough, not to make a complete mess of things with funder lion, but could as well known that there is no love lost between the 2 of them all by me, but has long want it to become commission presidents and then for a long time, he did not accept being passed over for the job. and that funded line received the post eyes. and since he rightly points out that you never stood for election survive and she didn't take part in the 2019 european elections in 2019 monthly, be about room for the post of president of the commission. this was his promotional video at the time his group had received the most votes and the european election as the lead candidates of the strongest political group. he should have been elected commission president, but the european heads of government rejected vba the last minute and presented their own surprise come to debt to the parliament. it was a scandal. many m e p's refused to support from the lions come to the c.

5001 said boss on the 2019, it was relatively close, and funder line was indeed dependent on some dubious votes. however, this was mainly because the german social democrats did not vote for her, nor did most of the green line gods. never also some outliers among the liberals, and even among the christian democrats and on the whole slide. so both the votes in favor, 3831030 of the message by a very now a mountain. the booth at the right wing conservatives from home reading, phone, and 6. you would the victory perform deadline. now in 2020 full 5 years later, it's unclear. i hope she will keep the majority votes from the right wing. come could once again play it this type of role muscle from the line. but the lift we can see that funder light and can get along very well with the right wing politicians on me. take georgia maloney like a 6 funder line. it's very skillful that she simply involves her and she goes to to

news with maloney and says this is our deal now with them alone. you can no longer complain about her friend after all, they did it together and i suspect that she will deal with others in the same way in the show with, oh no, no, i'm getting good. move though, have haldeman treat group elected has it's these candidates from deadline is cooling for an economic focus and future climate policy, which policy colleagues consider to be to green french m e p a whole lot. do take some hug. magic view of fund deadlines, time and office so you could forget the difficulties. she has someone who has faults, like everyone else does. but she was a true embodiment of europe in difficult times. you can, i think of the war and ukraine. i think of cove it apart from that. maybe it would be good to have a debate of young of a real debate about who should be at the head of the next commission to the s. and then maybe some change would also be good if it could be charged more, say, uh,

could you be finding a compromise will become more difficult regardless of who takes over the commission . it has long been the parents that the strategy of integrating the rights has also led to a shift to the right, the price, a minimal common climate policy, ceiling of europe against migration, and little chance of tackling treaty reforms. those will soon decide which part of europe will take in years to come on the move right wing extremists, they're all and tell them in the more blockades that will be and the more concessions will be needed. many of the problems europe will face and he is to come, can hardly be tackled by one country another. this means you're capable of acting and coincides with a common policy, could become more important than ever the
