What Anna Júlia spoke about.

Gas and electricity prices in Europe have increased several times in recent months. This is a transitional situation, but it highlights the fact that Europe is an energy poor continent in fossil fuels and that our energy dependence is enormous. This crisis cannot be dealt with well by individual Member States, but fortunately it does not have to be. At the time, the EU was set up to jointly addres

Dear Mr President, My fellow Members! The rule of law procedures against Hungary were launched with a good goal, not to steal EU funds, but to spend them on what they were meant to do, to develop Hungary and to support the Hungarian people. However, we see that the rule of law procedures, while important, are not sufficient to ensure this. In a normal country, the prosecutor's office would take th

It is very convenient to mix different uses of the civilian flag from your position. I would like to ask you what exactly your CÖF organisation does in the course of Fidesz's political work, but I do not know if you have read this draft legislation before us, which states that in Europe there are no borders in trade, there are no borders in the labour market, and then there should be no borders if

Mr. President, please. If you ask me, I am always proud to say that I came to party politics from the civil sphere. That's why I've seen for myself what it's like for an autocratic prime minister to see civilians as enemies. Because they have self-awareness, because they are self-organized, because they act for their community independently of power and party political battles. That's where my sen

Mr. President, please. Over the past five years, I have presented countless times how the propaganda machine of the Hungarian government is built. For in Hungary we are no longer simply talking about government media predominance, but specifically about a Putin-type propaganda machine. A system that is spreading propaganda to the Hungarian public out of taxpayers' money, and the Commission has don

Madam President, I'm sorry. When the President of Hungary pardoned an accomplice of a pedophile, he took away the justice of the victims. Unfortunately, the story didn't end there. The pardoned deputy director, Endre K., put pressure on his former victim a few days ago, just as he did years ago, to force him to change his confession to lie. There's video footage of the former teacher using money a

Mr. President, please. In recent weeks, Hungary has been shaken by a serious pedophile scandal. The president, who has since resigned, granted a presidential pardon to an accomplice of a pedophile. A man who blackmailed and persuaded children to deny sexual crimes committed against them. However, the pedophile scandal is only the tip of the iceberg. Terrible conditions prevail in Hungarian childre

Mr. President, please. Coming from Viktor Orbán's Hungary, I know exactly what it means when elections are neither fair nor clean. I know exactly what it's like when unpredictably and unstoppably, inevitably, the hatred of propaganda and politics pours onto us online, even breaking Youtube tales. That is why I am proud to have been a lead negotiator in the European Parliament in drafting legislati

Dear Mr President, Let us not deny that the economic and social problems in the European Union that led to the rise of populists are real. We must give real answers to these problems, because we know that populists do not have real answers. Instead, they use simple but immensely harmful means of disinformation and incitement to hatred. Therefore, the spread of disinformation and hate speech cannot

Dear Madam President, Recently, it was revealed that Russian agents were able to enter the ranks of the European Parliament. Russia's involvement in European politics has become increasingly aggressive, and this year's European Parliament elections have also been targeted. There are many indications that there is often Russian money, Russian influence and political influence behind populists who a

Dear Mr President, Katalin Novák, the head of state of Hungary, granted a pardon to an accomplice of a pedophile criminal. For years, the director of a children's home in Hungary sexually abused the children entrusted to him. He was sentenced to eight years in prison, and his deputy knew all about his atrocities. Not only did he know everything, but he abused his power to force the children to bea

Dear Mr President, My fellow Members! 33 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, Hungary will once again be able to use intelligence tools to monitor those whom the regime regards as enemies. The Hungarian government recently established a so-called Office for the Protection of Sovereignty. This has no other task than to simply threaten and fear civil society organisations, political parties or

Madam President, I'm sorry. One eye cries and the other laughs, because on the one hand it is good news that the Commission has finally recognised that further steps are needed to tackle European democracy, attacks from outside the EU. However, it is regrettable that this proposal does not protect democracy from attacks from within the Union. Yet European democracy has long been under attack from

Dear Mr President, fellow Members, Let us say that the greatest threat to European democracies today is the spread of false propaganda and disinformation on social media. The lies that are deliberately deceiving European citizens. I come from Hungary, where it is common for the government and its propaganda to knowingly lie, including about the European Union, to its citizens. It is also common fo

Dear Commissioner, In addition to my support for the goal of using EU funds to increase the EU's industrial independence and competitiveness, we cannot ignore the fact that Hungary is currently being transformed into a battery colony by its own government. The government attracts a large part of Chinese companies into the country, which then cause more and more serious environmental pollution in a

Madam President, I'm sorry. I come from a country where small business owners have little chance of growth without a political backwind. And if they do, they're sure to be approached by a pro-government oligarch with an irrevocable offer. I therefore very much welcome the Commission's plan to provide targeted support to European small and medium-sized enterprises. But there's a problem. We will ac

Madam President, I'm sorry. Last week, the global warming record was broken three times in a row. We can literally feel on our skin how serious the problem is. But we are not just suffering the consequences of climate change. We, European decision-makers, have a responsibility to prevent floods and droughts that threaten food supply. We European decision-makers are responsible for saving Europe fr

Mr. President, please. Hungary and the Hungarian economy are plagued by serious crises and a government that is unable to manage these crises. As a result, we have already reached the point where the Hungarian middle class is in a serious crisis. Most families no longer have the money to go on vacation. That it's difficult for them to replace the old fridge or get the broken washing machine repair

Mr. President, please. The Hungarian government has long refused to comply with the European Union's rules of the game. This is causing serious damage to the entire Hungarian nation, as, as a result, no new EU funds have been coming to Hungary for almost a year now. You may have heard that student and teacher protests have been taking place in Hungary in recent months as a result of the government

Madam President, I'm sorry. It is now time for the European Union to act as a strong, united great power to defend its core values. The Istanbul Convention is a clear stance against violence against women, which the EU has not been able to ratify in the last six years, also due to the blockade of the Hungarian government. Despite the fact that one in five women in Hungary has experienced some form

Mr. President, please. I am pleased to see that the European Commission is also taking the fight against climate change and the continent's green transition increasingly seriously. But it must be pointed out again and again that the biggest obstacle to a much greener Europe is the activities of giant polluters. Therefore, the costs of the green transition should first and foremost be borne by them

Mr. President, please. The Commission's latest Rule of Law Report makes it clear once again that the Hungarian government not only ignores the country-specific recommendations, but continues to use EU money to dismantle Hungarian democracy. Still, the Commission cannot allow the whip to hit the Hungarian people over and over again and withdraw EU funds from them because of the government's crimes,

Dear Madam President, If you look at your Facebook wall or turn on public media in Hungary today, you will most likely come across fake news, fake news about Russia defending itself, Ukrainian aggression or Nazi Ukrainians. How is this possible four months after the outbreak of war in an EU Member State? So far, EU measures have not been sufficient. Vladimir Putin is still able to promote his prop

Dear Mr President, Costs of living are rising enormously across Europe, and it is in such an exceptional situation that if a Member State's government decides to set an official price, it regulates, for example, the price of gasoline. In Hungary, the Hungarian government introduced the official price as part of the election campaign. However, the elections are already over and the government would

Dear Madam President, Let me briefly respond to the rule of law policy of the European Union, as a Hungarian Member, before addressing my proposals for the report before us. The Hungarian people should not be punished for the sins of their government! An economic crisis is imminent, and Hungary is currently unable to access EU funds. Support should be withdrawn from the government, from the Hungar
