Jaroslav Knot
Member of the European Parliament · PfE · CZ
“Madam President, the massacre of Christians in Kawel village is not an isolated tragedy. It's a part of a long and brutal campaign of violence carried out by Islamist extremists and radicalised foreign militants against Christian communities in Nigeria.”
“Mr President, the recent data breach in Lithuania, involving more than 600 000 records from national registers is a stark, grim reminder that hybrid threats are no longer directed only at governments or critical infrastructure. They target our citizens directly.”
“Madam President, Europe is facing a terrifying new reality: organised criminal gangs are no longer recruiting only adults, they are recruiting children. Teenagers are being transformed into drug couriers, hitmen and instruments of terror in our own cities.”
“In France, a second example, criminal organisations connected to narcotics trafficking have similarly used minors for violence, intimidation and street‑level drug distribution, particularly in areas overwhelmed by failed integration and uncontrolled migration. We must finally speak honestly: this crisis did not emerge in a vacuum.”
“Madam President, colleagues, what has happened to our Jewish brothers and sisters in Belgium and in the Netherlands, and in other places of Europe, is not only shocking, it is a disgrace for Europe. Jewish citizens are once again afraid to walk safely in European streets. That should alarm every one of us.”
“And if they are illegal migrants, they must be deported immediately – no excuse, no hesitation. European identity is built on Christianity and Judaism. If we cannot protect Jewish life, we are betraying Europe itself. No second Kristallnacht: not in Europe, not ever again. 3-0361-0000”

“The European Union must demand accountability from the Nigerian authorities, support the victims and make the protection of religious freedom a real priority of its foreign policy. 3-0458-0000”
“Madam President, the massacre of Christians in Kawel village is not an isolated tragedy. It's a part of a long and brutal campaign of violence carried out by Islamist extremists and radicalised foreign militants against Christian communities in Nigeria. Families are murdered, churches are burned and entire villages are wiped out simply because these people confess the Christian faith. Europe must stop pretending that it is merely a local conflict over land. Islamist terrorism is one of its driving forces, and political correctness must never prevent us from naming that reality. Those who kill in the name of religious extremism are terrorists, and they must be called exactly that.”
“Lithuania's experience should serve as a warning to us all: an attack on the data of one Member State is an attack on the security of the entire European Union. We must be prepared. 3-0236-0000”
“Mr President, the recent data breach in Lithuania, involving more than 600 000 records from national registers is a stark, grim reminder that hybrid threats are no longer directed only at governments or critical infrastructure. They target our citizens directly. Investigators suspect foreign involvement, highlighting the growing use of cyber operations as a tool of hostile influence and destabilisation. When personal data are stolen, citizens become vulnerable to espionage, intimidation, disinformation, and identity theft. Protecting data is therefore not only a matter of privacy, it is a matter of national and European security. The European Union must strengthen cyber resilience, improve information sharing among Member States and fully implement our cybersecurity and data protection frameworks.”
“In France, a second example, criminal organisations connected to narcotics trafficking have similarly used minors for violence, intimidation and street‑level drug distribution, particularly in areas overwhelmed by failed integration and uncontrolled migration. We must finally speak honestly: this crisis did not emerge in a vacuum. Mass migration, failed integration policies and the creation of isolated communities have enabled organised crime to flourish across Europe. Europe cannot...

“Madam President, Europe is facing a terrifying new reality: organised criminal gangs are no longer recruiting only adults, they are recruiting children. Teenagers are being transformed into drug couriers, hitmen and instruments of terror in our own cities. In Sweden, for example, we have seen horrifying cases where boys as young as 13 or 14 were recruited by migrant gang networks to carry out shootings and bomb attacks linked to drug wars. Children are exploited because criminal bosses know that minors often receive lighter sentences, and their suburbs have become breeding grounds for parallel criminal structures.”
“And if they are illegal migrants, they must be deported immediately – no excuse, no hesitation. European identity is built on Christianity and Judaism. If we cannot protect Jewish life, we are betraying Europe itself. No second Kristallnacht: not in Europe, not ever again. 3-0361-0000”
“Madam President, colleagues, what has happened to our Jewish brothers and sisters in Belgium and in the Netherlands, and in other places of Europe, is not only shocking, it is a disgrace for Europe. Jewish citizens are once again afraid to walk safely in European streets. That should alarm every one of us. Let us stop hiding behind vague words; antisemitism today often comes from radicalised environments fuelled by hatred against Israel and against the Jewish as such. If we are serious, we must have the courage to name and confront these sources. Synagogues are guarded by soldiers with automatic weapons. This is a tragic symbol of our failure. I refuse to tolerate attacks against our Jewish friends. The perpetrators must face the harshest possible punishment.”
“We urge the international community, including the European Union, as partners, to prioritise civilian protection, uphold humanitarian law and avoid policies that deepen conflict. Europe's role should be one of principled diplomacy, ensuring that peace, order and respect for sovereign communities prevail. 2-0300-0000”
“Mr President, Members of the European Parliament, the ongoing violence in north-east Syria is a humanitarian tragedy, with devastating consequences for civilians caught between warring parties. Families are displaced, children live in fear, and basic security is under constant threat. as parliamentarians committed first and foremost to the security and dignity of our nations and of people everywhere, we must recognise that the European stability has a direct link to peace in its neighbourhood. Therefore, we call for a durable and verifiable ceasefire that protects civilians without enabling endless military escalation. A ceasefire must be anchored in respect for local governance structures and be supported by concrete steps towards humanitarian access, reconstruction and regional stability.”
