What Viktor Orbán and his government, as well as you as his representative, are doing, is treason itself, Congressman. It is your fault, because you have been stealing money from European and Hungarian taxpayers for 14 years, that billions of euros do not arrive in Hungary. This is a betrayal of the Hungarian people. This is a betrayal of Hungary. This is where you, Viktor Orbán and every Fidesz-K
Dear Mr President, My fellow Members! In front of me, Viktor Orbán, the most corrupt politician in the European Union, was told by his party soldier, who cannot account for why the money of the European Union, the European taxpayers, has been stolen every day for 14 years. The European Union can only be strong if the policies agreed upon are implemented by all Member States. I am sad to say to you

Financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (recast) (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. For years, the Hungarian government has been amending Hungarian laws in a way that puts workers in a worse and more vulnerable position, especially vis-à-vis multinational companies. Who knows why, the Hungarian government believes that the lower the salaries, the harder it is to act together to defend their interests, the higher the profits of the multinationals, the b

Transparency and accountability of non-governmental organisations funded from the EU budget (debate)
Dear Mr President, No one in this room disputes that all beneficiaries, including civil society organisations receiving financial support from the European Union, must meet the highest standards of transparency. It's natural. But perhaps even more importantly, we also require governments to use subsidies properly. I am thinking first of all of the fact that there is a government, and unfortunately

You fired the leaders of the HCSO, among other things, because they measured it, and since then they cannot even measure that nearly half of Hungary lives in extreme poverty. You have renounced the Roma society, you have renounced the Hungarian poor people. A Social Democrat government will change that. Klára Dobrev will change that, Congresswoman! And speaking of CSOK. CSOK, in Hungary, is only f

Viktor Orbán and his government are pushing Roma children and poor children out of public education by excluding them from ecclesiastical schools, for example. Viktor Orbán personally humiliated the Gypsies of Gyöngyöspata, the Roma of Gyöngyöspata, when he said that as long as he ‘gives’, inter alia, as long as he steals, these Gypsies, these people, do not work. Viktor Orbán and his government a

Dear Madam President, Dear fellow Members, It is very easy to summarize what has changed in Hungary since the publication of the Commission's terms and conditions. Compared to 2019, the actors of the inciting billboard only changed. Juncker was replaced by Ursula von der Leyen by Orbán's propaganda machine. Today's posters tell us not to dance the way they whistle. This means only one thing: Orbán

Effectiveness of the EU sanctions on Russia (debate)
Dear Madam President, Dear fellow Members, When Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022, Putin's goal was to conquer Ukraine in a few months. It is now clear that Putin has failed, that Russia cannot win this war. To do this, it was necessary for Europe and the Western world to stand as one man on the side of the attacked country, Ukraine. But above all, we need those brave Ukrainians who cannot

Investigation of the use of Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware - Investigation of the use of Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware (draft recommendation) (debate)
Mr. President, please. The Orbán government has once again issued a devastating certificate about itself. Orban's government is all about how they can steal billions. In this case, Pegasus, they also demonstrated their inability to work in accordance with the rule of law, their inability to comply with these rules. As a result, Orbán did not receive support from Europe. Instead of European funds,
Mr President, under Rule 137 of our procedures, I inform you that Commissioner Várhelyi has labelled Members of the European Parliament ‘idiots’. After answering a question from a Member, when he took his seat, you can clearly hear him saying, ‘How many other idiots are still left?’ This is an unprecedented and brutal insult to the Parliament representing 450 million European citizens.

Mr. President, please. Only one EU government is slowing down the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO, and that is the Orbán government. However, the accession of Sweden and Finland would greatly strengthen Europe's security. But then why does Viktor Orbán do this, why does he slow down this process? Because since Orbán can't steal, he's been hounded by another passion, blackmail. He wants con

Dear Mr President, In World War II, Winston Churchill was advised to suspend support for the arts in order to finance the war. Churchill said, "Why are we really fighting?" The deepest truth in this answer should be a compass for all of us.

Strengthening Europe in the fight against cancer(debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. I come from a country where cancer mortality statistics are deteriorating every year. In Hungary, more people die from cancer than in any other European country. We can say that this terrible statistic is only country-specific, but the situation is more tragic. If we leave countries alone, if we leave patients alone, the number of cancers in Europe will increase by 24 p
