Not only was all welcome to come to its own. Nobody has talked more about reforming the e. U. Than emmanuel micro why should anyone listen when hes making such heavy weather of reforms in his own country. Why 1st has been reforming from for more than 2 years with steady paff. The country is in chaos the cantar is not in k. Off there is no threat anymore r. And real with all Public Transportation and there will be the most ambitious pension systems reform for decades with wish which will pass in the parliament in the next few weeks people have died in the instructions paris has reeked of tear gas for weeks on end you have gigantic disruptions in transport so the worst transport disruption since the 1960 s. Are you talking about that obviously im talking about paris you dont seem to come often to paris are i do i have my family in paris yes theyre with are from protests thats a french tradition birds are 0 to 700 people injured across the country 17 and hurt a number of policemen injured among them and some casualties were due to this yellow tackett protest movement are you see it throughout the word right now middle class wondering whether globalization is good or bad for it for them and they need to get off it and the government from the government theyve got 70000000 euros program that he catered at increasing wages and increasing Public Services and they found out that the president has an increasingly authoritarian streak the last years report by the National Ombudsman spoke of an unprecedented number of preventive arrests so the long with the decline of Public Services a policy of strength and security and repression taken root there is a past work is ations from the official watchdog charged with defending the rights of french citizens and i strongly deny we were in a democracy you can make saddam are up to bomb you think you mix it up i think well he 3 truth. It and i would like to outlaw the other a selter is where people are that free to protest or to deny it whats happening and the government isnt much good if you just dismiss it when he says it are this is my line is this on this is a decline of Public Services the undermining of funding meant a learners im not in the government im an elected member i have 23 elected members of my party here in the European Parliament i have as much freedom of expression as any french citizen we are in a democracy where in a country where we have rule of no every problem has been or is being investigated with independent judiciary i would love to see it as open as balanced and with such a rule of law in other places in the European Union i think you should focus on whats happening in poland on whats happening in hungary rather we talk to pose with were talking to you about france and youre still a member of the president s party homo she and i still one of his most vocal cheerleaders so thats why putting these points to you especially when both the u. N. And the council of europe weighed in against what they saw as disproportionate force against demonstrators on the streets of fronts there was this proportion of the violence in my country and there were casualties caused by. Blockades by yellow vests can should we forget about it should we forget about the number of traits of a city with which closed because of this unrest i will never because i was elected by my fellow Citizens United knowledge was addressing the points the many people have raised the paris think tank for instance General Assembly leap so last year the clampdown on Civil Liberties was part of a consistent pattern since mr michael took office and i deny it because there are freedoms they are respected they are protected for and. And freedom to go on strike thats fine thats even constitutional in my county but frink freedom not to go on strike should be protected as well and freedom of movement should be protected as well you want to see hours of police increased as the word october through the 17 knew a deterrent or substantially increased police in february 28th in the immigration or reduce the rights of migrants and Asylum Seekers in october that year the Supreme Court refused to halt the creation of a biometric database containing detailed information of all french citizens as surveillance and these are measures that are causing concern one prominent lawyer and long time supporter actually im assuming across france or soon will put it bluntly said fundamental rights are under attack while our i know mr question well i know the n. G. O. S he is dealing with on refugees because im dealing myself on private places and the rights of refugees are but please are fighting against terrorism the 1st freedom of my fellow citizens is security and my country was struck again and again by terrorist attacks should we are 3 as we were before and say we are doing nothing this is not a nobody asked you to do nothing those that i say not to are going to undermine fundamental rights and liberties thats now not in a fight you can always go to the court and youre with have your rights protected i know what my fellow citizens want they want security. More than rights more than for no runs they want both of them and will protect both of them. Does believe he can have greater success on the european stage with reforms than hes had home time after time he proclaims the need for new organizations in the but its a bit like picking random tickets out of a hat in the forms to immigration defense trade the European Agency to protect democracy European Council for interior security European Climate Bank and the reaction from the rest of europe was resulting silence to these proposals arm im not sure we are talking about the same word about my country or about here rob youre obviously very anti mccrone thats all right thats a surprise because i thought that was fair internal listen but it is not thats your right or right its my its my duty to put the other side to you your macro support im putting the other side to you ask the growing thats the way you see things that are necessarily the way other people eternalism but thats all right i dont deny and the 0 to learn to 1st answer at less or go to reforms in france yes they are working we are the 2nd most attractive kountry in the European Union for Foreign Investors we have one of the highest growth rates in the European Union we are the number of unemployed which is the creasing steadily we have 3 terms the unemployed number of germany thats right but we dont have many jobs when we talk about jobs which we talk about jobs will full pay thats a choice and we are still fighting against the point and we are changing the rules for apprentice for instance and it is working and considering the European Union are you mentioned the climate bank this was something i was complaining for in favor of when i was the head of the list of when they thought in the European Union election and now this isnt a program of this. This from the lion her new green deal includes a European Climate Bank includes. A 1000000000000 euros in the coming 7 years to finance green projects so this is precisely what we have where advocating for and this is precisely what the ropin union is indicating committed to but there was a huge backlash against you time and proposals was in there with the yellow vests protested against the new carbon tax which was introduced trying to get the troops to change their behavior people in rural areas so it was deeply and firm the tax had to be abandoned well handled through all the humor up you have. Claims for a more brutal and violent meant a more anti Global Warming policy and at the same time people fear not in my backyard not on my are hugely expensive we face it every single developed country choose one single tax year but we have a burnt and raising tax but we are working with the European Union with the commission on a mechanism providing for our protection of European Companies compared to 30 kountry companies if they dont respect the same and vironment rules they should pay for the difference there is no reason to impact all companies for a nickel for regulations that we are choosing on a room in europe when youre independent Advisory Council on climates this report last june strongly suggested your record to date didnt match the promises youve made tell me of 11 single european country matching the result with the promises every counter is lagging with sometimes if you come up and you say you handle it out of climate thats a tragedy and one on target and thats why i mean this European Parliament is a. You rob ian on ther we couldnt we cannot have one member state taking decisions and another going and a different path we have to take common objectives and abide by them we have to have objective 420342050 we are in the process of doing it but then rose if you were serious about the environment you would halt this incredibly wasteful process of convening the European Parliament for one week every month in strasbourg and the rest of the time in brussels why not have the parliament in strasbourg all the time i agree i mean you know but at the moment this is hugely damaging for the environment and hugely costly to the european taxpayer but its frances vanity project its in the treaty. And its germans vanity project to have the European Central bank in frankfurt and inflection of advantage of projects to have premises in luxembourg with the whole European Parliament doesnt get up like a travelling circus and some people have said once every month how do you know the cost of over 100100000000. 00 euros a year have you asked the cost of having premises in like thunder in frankfurt and in many other places in europe that doesnt justify this. My to mordor specific interest you must you want your regret to stay in the brussels bubble. Cut from the reality of the ground cut from Member States is that what you bought is that what citizens have been voting for for them they are telling us please go to Member States please get out of this but these areas to strasburg once a month are not telling you that. In my country it is only something in your butt but the cost of between 11000. 00 listening to my voters between 11019000 tons of extra c o 2 emissions every year just to make this stunt possible you know every time you dont know what a program on your smartphone you are participating and Carbon Emissions and thirdly you are doing it yes well have to have change our habits but why are you finger pointing the heart of european democracy where we have the council of europe where we have the you open court you are again that is right you dont need to go to work once a month yes we can stay in strasbourg i agree the european concerns have to be some of the finest group said it was time for any peace to get their own house in order and the travelling circus no organization can honestly claim to be serious and tackling Climate Change and still maintain the work of working which is so manifestly destructive to the environment while i hope that you dont rob again our conservative group also notices that poland one of its main supporters is far is lagging far behind in terms off a mission and still denying the need for our Green New Deal lets talk about Foreign Policy emanuel merkels phone policy because theres been a strong perception that he favors go it alone diplomacy instead of the multilateral initiatives that your was close to value one of your president s harshest critics here in brussels the green m. E. P. Philip lamberts cues to move being drunk on power and said you dont shape europe by bullying europe. Shit europe by building alliances this is what we saw in in previous decades but a very lively you rock well listen to on the your world stage it was so obvious that we were winning and that we were united an official come on you all know united on russia policy on russia well for instance our policy and russia look at the normandy form and summit that we had in paris a few weeks ago what did it get you we defended ukraines rights we favored an exchange of prisoners which had not taken place for months and news and we are fully in line with the your property and position on ukraine crimea dhanbad and the rest General Council on Foreign Relations says a lot of people claims the sumac and didnt even inform them head of time when he sent his foreign and defense ministers to moscow september seem to be part of an emerging pattern of unilateral actions you say the same one uncle americal good to moscow to meet with a blood in your putin know they are playing their role france is an important member state of the European Union france has a permanent seat in the Security Council we have responsibilities with a friend European Values we carry you roped in voice and we have share european positions we are fully in line with as a boy while there is not the year there of a slice of paper between what was that boris and vacating for and what we are pushing for bilaterally it strengthen europe is doesnt weaken it was wonder whether when mr all bar prefers to talk to put in or to talk to each other they are and says that they are hungary and commissioner is at the service of a major and wonder whether he supports European Union policy last august mr merkel called for a new architecture in europe based on trust and security because he said the continent would never be stable without easing and clarifying europes relations with russia. Well you didnt spell out was how you base a new relationship with russia on trust and security when there isnt any and you suggested us or we are vigilant my our Political Party was hacked irish an activist during the president ial campaign when there was a chemical attack involved in the u. K. Who was pushing the other europeans for a coordinated onset it was a man unlucky and no one else we are perfectly aware of the threat of. Russia nostalgic of the path but then will it change your graffiti what do we prefer to have russia turning definitely to china or to have russia and gauged in the dialogue with the European Union and nato concessions does that involve it doesnt enjoy a country that borders is International Borders shoots down commercial aircraft as you say senses assassins to europe to murder people for example weapons for instance i would have preferred not to think or not trying to protect supported so heavily by germany because it deepens or dependent thing on russian gas thats a problem and we have said that and then went back on that it very bluntly its not a question of confessions its a question of having or voice her it isnt a consistent voice though if we look at the question of enlargement in the European Union for instance in august. Sumac rome was the leader who told europe to really invest geographically in the west balkans warning that if it didnt the fate of that region could be decided by the u. S. Russia and turkey and then just 2 months later he effectively blocked or at the very least delayed those countries from joining the e. U. Doesnt fit does it contradiction its not the 1st time that a bloc i bet. Myself a year before we want a boat you can tell us from from these other countries that are taking an interest in west balkans and not isolated areas but im through i have seen membership look at serbia serbia started in Succession Process that serbia distanced itself from russia not a 2nd. Do you think the. Accessor negotiations are the magical recipe to have counter is to distancing themselves from russia look at hungary it has not worked we have to reassess the who accession the concession process it was not working do we want to turn a blind eye and just consider that we have a policy when we have only bureaucracy now we have to be serious im dead serious about the importance of a european perspective for western balcones and that because i believe in it i dont want to leave it to bureaucrats wants to be deeply involved in what we ask this countrys work to what would take them accountable war for the fight against corruption fight against organized crime the standard of the council on Foreign RelationsEuropean Council formulation said you french action may have actually weaken the leverage in this region french veto of North Macedonia as well being is a session ago shoes and as a mix so completely changed the context for resolving bilateral problems in the west or once again look at serbia they are in the process they are negotiating they are opening chapters and closing chapters and they are closer than ever to moscow they are with something that is not working some people decide not to see it we decided to name it because we want to reform it if we are serious about enlargement and we are serious its not just a slogan its not just to play nice and then go to some countries and try to make business its about having one hand and then trade with the other its being in having them ready to enter the European Union and not being a failure and not and then injuring the european project to me about the rumblings in the on march party because theres been some signs of serious discontent 2 months ago the mood reported the illusion of. President the group in the chamber written to micro warning about the state of his parliamentary majority and pushing him to rebuild trust with rank and file m. P. s series this year when the president and then please dont trust him oh if it were the case our that would be a serious issue and there are are many examples throughout the European Union of weak cornish with weak Political Parties absence of majorities are very narrow in majority you have a woman stating European Union which doesnt face this problem and this is france there is a clear big Strong Majority there is but by the end of the november 11 employees in the National Assembly had quit or been pushed out of the parliament to sociate on when she group in the summer 60 on march 1st are because they were out of the principles and values of the other parties and this is healthy so the Party Discipline is breaking down in the summer 60 our march m. P. s abstain though voted against the government over the Free Trade Agreement with kamber that could mean one single draft bill which was not voted by the majority of 2017 put me just when there is now youve got an official Party Candidate in the race for mayor of paris in march benjamin greville another our margin piece of the big villainy was decided hes going to run anyway despite failing to get official backing its a mess isnt it only a nonaccredited omars not north korea agree we are not russia or agree we are a recount tree with reed i mean Political Party whether you agree with that they feel a need for running where there is going to marry her with the answer is no but hes free and then thought of we are in africa entry and losing the youth vote as the elections. For the European Parliament no it didnt there had never been as many young people voting and a number of them voted for omar well compared to 2017 you lost 6 percent among 18 to 24 year. Rhodes and 11 points among voters aged 25 to 34 problem is that you should compare what is comparable compare it with previous European Elections and you will see that the turnout was much bigger and young people went to the pools where there were not voting for previous European Elections the highest school in the u. K. In the elections in the categories was in the category of people over 70 years old now but no party can be complacent about that we are a party which was created out of trap scratch in 2016 and we are a party which when the president ial election the National Election and we fear the world in the European Election we are going to have 23 and a piece in this parliament exactly the same number as the far right i would have preferred to have even more than that but compared to my predecessors im quite proud of the result but the party that came to power representing above all the younger poorer more metropolitan sectors of society dissent that caring about climate now wasnt that was in the. Its a party that denies the traditional left right divide and rightly so look at where traditional right and traditional left argentina in france and its true throughout europe youre about to take a position in the. Steering rack sit still in group while its one of the only directed a noise really is going to be your cake or initial rupie health and you have a deal 11 months while are not on everything on have a bare bones deal probably yes. I could have done a deal with the reason my why didnt the do that you would have. Brought sits in the remember new jersey says shes only our respect stop but because its clear that finished her off didnt it while she had no majority in her parliament and she could have got an agreement through if youd let her on the backstop at least 2 of them really think that protecting their rights are for companies or for citizens are protecting peace in ireland was not a key priority i dont agree with you. Government so that was a key priority but the backstop wasnt necessary but youre going to end up know with a with an outcome if britain leaves without a deal thats an outcome that nobody wants as usually brings yeah but you didnt want to dive though but going to cause massive disruption for you to buy it my point is you plowboy its a choice for the press if they want to destroy their country i dont think this is what they want they have to be responsible leaders its time for responsible europes going to suffer too thats for sure i mean there is no good brighter red is bad whatever form it has protecting the rights of a companys protecting or priority is protecting the european project risky they have chosen in britain to get out of the year European Union fair enough. We have just to destroy the European Union all right and we will not thats why you as a thank you very much for your confidence. Thanks.
