From Youtube video descripition: "A new way to elect the EU president? No more VETO voting? The European Parliament has set the stage for a potential seismic shift towards a more federalized European Union with a new proposal that seeks to alter the bloc's fabric in three substantial ways. This initiative calls for a comprehensive reshaping of EU institutions, exemplified by changes to the presidential election process and the veto vote mechanism. It also advocates for expanding EU competencies, granting the Union greater exclusive powers that may redefine the balance between EU governance and national sovereignty. Finally, it proposes a robust enforcement of EU authority by amending the consensus requirement of Article 7, thus streamlining the Union's ability to act decisively. This compact yet potent set of reforms could mark a pivotal point in the evolution of the EU's political dynamics."

In France, the parliament can't propose new laws except for 1 day a year for each parliamentary group (essentially one group per political party with more than a certain amount of seats).

Only the government can, and it is the government that sets the order of the day. The parliament can however modify the law proposed, but thanks to the famous article 49.3 the government can just ignore those.
