I strongly believe that the European Union must strive for greater self-sufficiency in energy and basic goods to ensure our sovereignty and independence. In light of global uncertainties and climate change, it is imperative that we invest in our own production capabilities and transition to renewable energy sources to secure a stable and sustainable future for Europe.

I believe in the necessity of carbon pricing as a core tool for driving down emissions. Carbon taxes incentivize greener choices and innovation, and the revenue can help fund the ecological transition.

I believe that while supporting new businesses is important, exempting them from corporate tax for the first three years is not the right approach. Our focus should be on creating a fair and competitive environment where all businesses contribute to public services and infrastructure, ensuring sustainable economic growth.

I believe that implementing minimum revenue cut-offs for businesses in the EU is essential. It helps ensure fair competition and prevents large corporations from exploiting regulations that are meant for smaller enterprises. This approach would foster a more balanced economic environment and support the growth of SMEs, which are vital for our economy.

I believe that reducing EU regulations would undermine the protections and standards that have been established to ensure fairness, safety, and sustainability across member states. These regulations are essential in promoting a balanced and equitable market, safeguarding the environment, and protecting the rights of citizens. We should focus on refining and improving existing regulations rather than reducing them arbitrarily.
