Harmonised EU approach to travel measures (debate)
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the biggest global recession since the Second World War. European countries have been particularly affected and without doubt, the travel and tourism sectors have been hit harder than others. Thanks to the European Commission to act in December 2021 that the EU Digital COVID Certificate (DCC) would be valid for nine months without a booster shot, several EU countri

Presentation of the programme of activities of the Slovenian Presidency (debate)
Careful eyes, throw it at Janša! Slovenia has taken over the rotating presidency of the European Union, and the programme for Slovenians is being evaluated today by the plenary of the European Parliament. Undoubtedly, it is spicy that a political adventurer, Prime Minister Janez Janša, has been leading the European community for six months, who holds Orbán, who is engaged in an illiberal war again
Madam President, I'm sorry. I support any global strategy if it is in the interest of European citizens, in this case the security of public health care and equal access for all European citizens. This picture, which I show you and I know that it is not very visible, this picture is a small retaining wall, a small chair without a back wall in a children's hospital in Budapest. No, not 400 kilomete

Surge of respiratory infections and the shortage of medication in Europe (debate)
Mr. President, please. Yesterday in plenary, we listened to beautiful words about the 30th anniversary of the EU single market, which is indeed important, but as if it had not yet caught up with European citizens in the area of health services and products. I had to start this morning by hunting a blood glucose sensor, looking for it in three pharmacies, which in Germany is a subjective right for

Madam President, I'm sorry. I am one of many Hungarian family members. Secondly, he is a European citizen and, by the way, a social democratic politician. But in all three of my capacities, I share the same view that in the European Union, including in modern times, the issue of the nation or the protection of national minorities is of particular importance to us. I am proud to speak my beautiful

Prevention, management and better care of diabetes in the EU on the occasion of World Diabetes Day (debate)
Dear Madam President, 100 years after the discovery of insulin and some 10 years after the parliamentary debate that preceded it, I consider it a success that we have now been able to bring this issue to the plenary. But what will make the lives of people with insulin resistance and diabetes in the European Union better? In Hungary, more than 1,300 out of 10,000 people are affected, more than one

Assessment of Hungary's compliance with the rule of law conditions under the Conditionality Regulation and state of play of the Hungarian RRP (debate)
Dear Madam President, The only thing that interests me is the interests of the Hungarian people and the Hungarian families. I can only look at the current situation through these glasses. Are Hungarian families interested in the fact that the government, for example, is now lying about what we are arguing about out of a billion euros a year? Are Hungarian families interested in the fact that the r

Existence of a clear risk of a serious breach by Hungary of the values on which the Union is founded (debate)
Hungarian society fought for Hungary's membership in the European Union. Back in the early 1990s, when I was a teenager, we campaigned for us to be hired and for Hungarian society to decide by referendum on joining Europe. Two-thirds of Hungary's society is clearly on the side of the European Union, even the majority of Fidesz voters. For us, for Hungarian society, for the Hungarian people and for

Madam President, I'm sorry. I am first and foremost a proud Hungarian family member. Secondly, he is a Social-Democratic Member of the European Parliament and, in both my capacities, I am deeply saddened by the situation in my country.

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Recovery Fund is a revolutionary and good tool, I support it. As a Social Democratic representative who is particularly sensitive to the problems of Hungarian society, I am very happy about this because Hungarian society must have a vision in which the European Union can help it and we need European funds. In addition, we are entitled to this money, because our chil

Assessing the Union’s measures for the EU tourism sector as the end of the Summer season nears (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. There is a lot of devastating information about tourism. I do not need to return to these now, but behind the data there are human destinies, companies and businesses, which is why I would like to confirm to you that, as Vice-President of the TRAN Committee and authorised ambassador of the United Nations World Tourism Organization, I have recently visited partner organi
