Motion for a European Parliament resolution on the child sexual exploitation scandal in the United Kingdom
The European Parliament,
– having regard to Rule 149 of its Rules of Procedure,
A. whereas over a decade ago, thousands of young girls in England were raped, sexually exploited and trafficked by gangs of mostly Pakistani men; whereas this large-scale child sexual exploitation was facilitated by grave systemic failures within law enforcement, social services and local government;
B. whereas the British media kept citizens ignorant of the full extent of these mass crimes; whereas social media platforms, in particular X, have recently focused public attention on this scandal;
1. Takes note of the call of the British public for a national inquiry into this child sexual exploitation scandal;
2. Emphasises that this child sexual exploitation scandal illustrates the danger that uncontrolled mass immigration poses for women and girls; encourages the EU Member States to launch a comprehensive debate on the link between mass migration and the rise in sex crimes and criminal networks, to follow a ‘zero tolerance approach’ and to prioritise the expulsion of foreign national child offenders;
3. Strongly condemns the conviction of people that warn against the dangers of mass immigration.
