The political and humanitarian situation in Lebanon has continued to deteriorate over the past year. The country is facing the challenge of 1.5 million Syrian refugees, food shortages, economic crisis and political instability at the same time. The circumstances of the Beirut explosion a year ago remain unclear, with no accountability for those responsible, causing significant social tensions. As

The need for an EU strategy to counter Islamist entryism and the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood network (debate)
Dear Madam President, Africa is home to 1.5 billion people. 40% of the world's agricultural land is located here. Africa accounts for 50% of the world's cobalt resources, 85% of platinum metals and more than 80% of global phosphate reserves, while importing more than a third of the continent's grain needs, as well as imported goods, electronics, agricultural machinery, vehicles and even refined fu
Dear Madam President, Developing Europe's defence capability is an obvious strategic necessity. Our first and almost exclusive task is to strengthen the security of European citizens, but it does not matter how we do this. The purpose of the European Defence Fund is not to become a means of financing a war conflict outside the EU. There are many other approved ways to do this. Make it clear: stren

Joint communication on humanitarian aid (JOIN(2026)0025) (debate)
Mr President, I try to follow the wise words of my colleagues, but in my mother tongue, Hungarian. Dear Commissioner, Dear Mr President, If the European Union has succeeded in the world in recent decades, it is indeed humanitarian aid, the aim of which, as has already been mentioned, is to alleviate human suffering. This is especially true at a time when two million people in Gaza do not have acce

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre
Dear Madam President, This is the third time we have addressed the issue of the persecution of Christians in Nigeria in this cycle. It is unfortunate that, despite this, the Commission, and many here, are doing everything in their power to present attacks on Christians solely as an ethnic conflict. Acknowledging the persecution of Christians, the von der Leyen Commission fears holy water as a devi

Dear Madam President, What is really behind the housing crisis? Basically, we don't do our homework at home. The left-liberal majority in Brussels sees housing merely as a social project and wants to centralise a fundamentally national competence once again. What is really worrying is that in many countries social housing has already become a tool for managing mass migration. More than one million

Situation in Northeast Syria, the violence against civilians and the need to maintain a sustainable ceasefire (debate)
Mr. President, please. Strengthening the European defence industry is a very important common goal. Strong defence should not serve the preparation for war, but the maintenance and establishment of peace. Russia has launched a war of aggression against Ukraine, Ukraine's most natural right is defence, and it is seeking support for this. However, this must not lead to the destruction of the Europea

The need for a united support to Ukraine and for a just and durable peace concluded on Ukraine's terms, with Europeans and without surrendering to Vladimir Putin's conditions ahead of the foreseen Budapest summit (debate)
That seems to be a relevant question, but, you know, the problem is that you didn't listen to what I told you. The only question is how can we save the lives of thousands and thousands of people? Of course, it's a negotiation. It's a balance. It's compromises. And, of course, I don't say to Mr Putin, 'I can't say "No"'. But the problem is there: whether Europe is a player of the peace-making proce

Mr. President, please. I really have to say, let's not have fun. Millions have died here. We're talking about a million and a half dead here in a pretty comfortable environment. Thousands of families fell apart, cities became complete ruins. Every day we lose will cost us new lives. But you want the war to continue. I would like to point out that no one wants to relativize Russian aggression in Uk

Renewing the EU-Africa Partnership: building common priorities ahead of the Angola Summit (debate)
Mr. President, please. Recent years have shown that Europe cannot find solutions to the challenges, rather than to the leaders of African countries. African leaders must give their own citizens security and vision. That's their responsibility. We can help, we can't help, we can't take responsibility. Today, there are about 1.5 billion people living in Africa, only 25 years from now, and by 2050 th

Rise in violence and the deepening humanitarian crisis in South Sudan (debate)
Dear Madam President, 9.5 million people. This is the number of people in need of the humanitarian assistance mentioned here in South Sudan. Two million internally displaced, seven million starving people. Credible European action depends on defining our engagement in line with our real capabilities.

Targeted attacks against Christians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo – defending religious freedom and security (debate)
Dear Madam President, How many more victims are needed? The February 13 bestial massacre was no longer the first attack by an Islamist organization calling itself the Allied Defense Force. Already five years ago, ISIS news channels reported that this is the organization that shot Christians in a pile. Since then, more than 300 people have been killed. What have you done against the Congolese or in

The need for EU support towards a just transition and reconstruction in Syria (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Dear fellow Members, The return of Syrian refugees is a priority for Europe. Despite all the contradictions in the situation, for the first time in ten years it is realistically possible to do something about it. The EU's humanitarian aid of €235 million and the Council's decision to suspend sanctions are positive developments. However, the tragic events of the past few

Dear Mr President, Just a few hours ago, my fellow factions and I had the opportunity to speak online with Bishop William Ngumbi of Goma, here in the House. The bishop, who is responsible for 800,000 people, said there is a shortage of food, medicine, drinking water, health care and electricity. According to the most conservative estimates, more than 3,600 people have died since January. It was ne

Dear Madam President, We have moved away from the deadlock in the Middle East. That's the good news. Developments in Gaza, Syria and Lebanon are simply creating a chance to stabilise the region.

There are also 7 million internally displaced people in Syria. 90% of

Urgent need for a ceasefire in Lebanon and for safeguarding the UNIFIL mission in light of the recent attacks (debate)
Dear Madam President, As Head of the 2022 Election Observation Mission to Lebanon, I have to say that Lebanon is in a completely hopeless situation.

The Beirut parliament has created a precisely defined political force, a

Recent attacks on Christmas Eve in Plateau State in Nigeria
Dear Mr President, Let me share with you a decade of experience. Unfortunately, ideological bias makes some European decision-makers completely insensitive to human suffering when it comes to Christians. Even the persecutors of Christians do not understand this European position. The consequence of this, however, is that in the absence of the protection of the West, Christians become even more vul
