What Csaba spoke about.

The European Union has approached the challenges posed by COVID-19 on the basis of solidarity and community coordination. We have set up and adopted the EU funds for economic recovery with unprecedented speed, and now, following the acceleration of vaccination campaigns, we need to make the free movement of citizens accessible again. To this end, the EU Digital COVID Certificate was created and en

Dear Madam President, When we created the Democracy Shield Committee, we did it because there was no shortage of threats even then. Russia, foreign interference, fake news, social, media social media algorithms, disinformation campaigns. So we had plenty to do. And then, lately, there's something quite new, quite terrifying coming up, artificial intelligence. Before we wave, oh, it's just another

Dear Madam President, I, like my fellow rapporteurs, thank the institutions concerned and all colleagues in Parliament for their constructive cooperation, particularly and above all the shadow rapporteurs. Today's debate, and perhaps even more so the several months of preparatory process that preceded it, has shown that Parliament can fulfil its credible scrutiny role when it does its work on the

Dear Mr President, First of all, I would like to thank the European Court of Auditors for the thorough and comprehensive audit work carried out in recent months on audits involving the Joint Undertakings and other EU institutions. Dear colleagues, The discharge procedure is not a technical obligation for Parliament, but one of the strongest instruments of democratic accountability. We must therefo

Dear Mr President, In Europe, energy companies compete for consumers. Everyone can decide from whom and what kind of energy to buy. In Hungary, of course, the opposite happens: energy companies are stolen by friends, production, distribution and commerce all enrich them, and people's money is stolen with unfair system usage fees. Hungarian gasoline made from cheap Russian oil is the most expensive

Dear Mr President, There is a saying in Hungary that we always laugh at. It reads like this: "the Russians are already in the pantry". But what's going on with us these days, unfortunately, isn't funny at all. When Europeans hear of Putin, they think of Ukraine, fake news, presidential elections in Romania, air-raid fighters or drones. The threat is much more diverse. In Budapest, Russian propagan

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Hungarian government believes that the problem is not that Hungary has been stolen and destroyed, but that the newspaper writes about it. This is why they want a law similar to Putin's censorship law to be adopted in Hungary to silence the press, civilians and the opposition. According to the law, anyone who disputes Fidesz's five-point, far-right-populist ideology

Dear Mr President, Fearing the loss of power, Viktor Orbán is transforming the illiberal state he has built up over the past 15 years into an open Putin dictatorship. Right now, it is making the right of assembly impossible by restricting members of the Hungarian LGBTQ community in their liberties. Let's talk openly. Prohibiting Pride is filthy homophobia, no matter how much they try to falsely po

Dear Mr President, We have known for years that Viktor Orbán's government uses the secret services against its political opponents. Previously, the spyware Pegasus was installed on the phones of opposition and journalists. Now it turns out that Orbán's secret service was also spying on the investigators of the EU's Anti-Fraud Office. They were tapped, followed, spied on. The reason was simple. OLA

Madam President, I'm sorry. This weekend's EU summit is the end of half a year of shame. Viktor Orbán's presidency of the EU is coming to an end, an unprecedented failure and the worst achievement in the history of the EU. For the past six months, the Hungarian prime minister has been scheming, lying, at home and abroad, unscrupulously inciting against Europe. As an agent of Putin, he flew around

Dear Madam President, Mr. Orban, I'm sorry. It was extremely entertaining to see that only far-right MEPs stood up for you in this debate, no one else besides them. I think it's time for you to finally take pride in the real deeds of this nationalist international. Mr. Orbán, why don't you tell your far-right comrades that more than 2,000 people smugglers were released from prison before their sen

You know, Honourable Member, I live in Hungary, I am Hungarian, unlike you, and unfortunately we have seen many of these. You don't know because you probably haven't heard of it, but for years a Russian spy bank operated in Budapest with Hungarian money, Hungarian funding and Hungarian diplomatic immunity. They brought spies here in a spy bank. The Hungarian state has allowed this. Then it turned

Madam President, I'm sorry. If you come to Hungary, you cannot take away the work of the Hungarians, the anti-refugee government billboards advertised on the Hungarian streets a few years ago. In the past few years, the Orbán government has already made Hungary one of the centres of immigration in Europe. The Hungarian Prime Minister always talks about border protection, but in reality he manufact

Mr. President, please. I know what you think of a government that steals EU funds from its own citizens. But let me tell you what Hungarians are experiencing under this governance, where the dismantling of democracy and the rule of law and mass corruption have led in everyday life. Hungary, the former country of success, is experiencing today that salaries in the country have fallen to the penulti

Dear Madam President, Unfortunately, the question in Hungary today is not whether EU money should come to the Hungarians. Unfortunately, the question now is whether EU funds should come to some selected Hungarians. Because Viktor Orbán does not allocate EU funds to the Hungarian people, municipalities and small businesses, but to his own business associates, oligarchs and family members. And that'

Dear Madam President, Most of the EU funds coming to Hungary are being stolen by the Prime Minister's oligarchs. As the European Commission has suspended the disbursement of funds, these pro-government businesses have been left without orders, so now the government is doing everything it can to restart EU funds. Not for the sake of the people, of course, but so that they can continue to steal. A l

Mr. President, please. We have prepared a great thing, dear colleagues. Finally, we wanted to impose a fair tax on the richest multinationals. There is a government in the European Union. It happens again that the Hungarian government wants to prevent this. For what? Because the Hungarian Prime Minister is actually defending the interests of the multinationals against the Hungarian small people. T
