A new ERA for Research and Innovation (continuation of debate)
In the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, exploiting Europe’s potential for research and innovation is a priority. Developing new innovations is essential for the EU's economic recovery and for increasing Europe's competitiveness. As a result of the pandemic, researchers have faced a number of challenges, their situation has become precarious, they are experiencing more difficult working cond
The numbers speak for themselves, my fellow Member. The Orbán government has helped 343,000 families to own their own homes and properties, no matter how they bark and twist.
Dear fellow Member, Since 2016, the Fidesz government has built a family home creation system, the tangible results of which between 2016 and 2024, more than 263 thousand families received CSOK support worth a total of 1.8 billion euros. To this came the village CSOK, the baby shower support and from 2024 the CSOK Plus, together with which they have already helped 343 thousand families to create a
Dear Mr President, The family and our children are the foundation of our society. Housing is not just a commodity, but an essential condition for human life and the formation of a family. Affordable and own homes are a growing challenge for millions of young people and families across Europe. However, we must respond to this not with new EU restrictive measures, but with predictable regulation and

Circularity requirements for vehicle design and management of end-of-life vehicles (debate)
It is always wonderful to see the left-wing political side here in parliament attacking one last government even after democratic elections in one country. But I think it's in their DNA. What I see is that between 2010 and 2024, Hungary saw one of the biggest economic miracles in its history. People are living better and the country is doing better than before Viktor Orbán took office. We can be p

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)
Mr. Colleague, I think you are from Germany, that is, I can address you in German. Over the past few years, I have watched German industry reflect on Hungary as a business location. In the last 15 years it has been really wonderful to see that German investments have come to Hungary, created jobs and also included the medium-sized sector in the German industrial miracle. What I was talking about w

High time to deliver on the Single Market, providing certainty and predictability for EU businesses and quality jobs (continuation of debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Europe is not an example of competitiveness, but of growing backwardness, and that is a problem, it is our common cause. High energy prices are not simply a problem, but are strangling companies in both Western and Eastern Europe. They are putting jobs at risk and forcing industries out of the European Union. We have to deal with high energy prices. While you are presen

EU governance under pressure – institutional responses to global challenges (debate)
Mr. President, please. Nowadays it has become a sport how to centralize new powers unnoticed. All this, of course, always with the well-known and loud passwords: more Europe, more efficiency in the common EU interest. However, the end result is the same, less national room for manoeuvre, more central management. After Jean-Claude Juncker's Political Committee, we are now talking about a geopolitic

Rise of political violence, notably by far-left organisations (debate)
Dear Madam President, The internal market of the European Union cannot be completed today. But how could he, when he is strangling it with Brussels' rules and ideology? Instead of strengthening competitiveness, more and more restrictions and more expensive energy are being imposed on European businesses. Let's finally face reality. At such high energy prices, European businesses are not developing

State violence in Minneapolis and the rule of law in the United States (topical debate)
Dear Madam President, The left seems to think that there is nothing to be done in the European Union. If there are failures, they simply point outwards. Right now it is the United States, and that is what this debate is about. You are not disturbed by the rule of law, but by Donald Trump's failure to rise to the liberal fashion wave and his consistent policy on migration. The President of the Unit

Restoring control of migration: returns, visa policy and third-country cooperation (topical debate)
Mr. President, please. Listening to this debate about various migration brainstormings, newer and newer distributional proposals, I have the feeling that many people here still do not understand the essence of the problem. You are talking about quotas, mechanisms and administrative solutions, while a genuine influx of migrants has been taking place at Europe's borders for years. One inevitably ask

The 28th Regime: a new legal framework for innovative companies (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. The 28th regime is not a mere proposal, but another attempt by Brussels to expand its own powers to the detriment of the competences of the Member States, to curtail the principle of unanimity. The experience of recent years is clear: What you choose today will become tomorrow's mandatory rule. Corporate law and taxation are not Brussels competences, but the basis of na
Madam President, I'm sorry. We are before Christmas, shops are full of defective products, European supply chains are collapsing, unreachable customer services, and consumers are helpless in the face of the situation, and this is not by chance. Poor market surveillance in the EU, the plethora of problems and fraud affecting e-commerce, the slowness of alternative dispute resolution options created

It is also very good that we speak Hungarian, because I want to be able to understand what I am about to say in Hungary without any interpretation. You've joined Manfred Weber's party, you've joined Manfred Weber's faction. You have been sitting in a faction that has allowed millions of illegal migrants into Europe in the last 15 to 20 years, because of which at the moment it is not possible to go
Dear Madam President, Child protection is a fundamental obligation. Among the dangers of the digital world, the role of the family is irreplaceable. The European Commission can coordinate, but it cannot replace parents, communities and national legislators. In particular, it is not able to carry out effectively the market surveillance tasks assigned to it. There are many dangers to our children to

Institutional consequences of the EU enlargement negotiations (debate)
Mr. President, please. Accession to the Union is not a matter of political bargaining, but of clear, transparent conditions. Each candidate country must comply with the same rules. Countries cannot be linked, packaged and politically pressured to push through decisions. The enlargement of the European Union is not an ideological playground, but a serious foreign policy and strategic decision affec

Promoting EU digital rules: protecting European sovereignty (debate)
Dear Mr President, Today, the digital space is not only a technology, but also a foundation for freedom of speech and innovation. Unfortunately, the European Commission has recently moved in a direction of gold-plating that not only hinders, but also makes it impossible for our businesses to operate. Digital internal market rules are often so complex and burdensome that companies are unable to put
Dear Mr President, The review of EU public procurement rules is highly timely. The development of digitalisation and the spread of new technologies all encourage us to modernise, simplify and adapt the framework to the real needs of the economy. However, we are saddened to see that the left is once again taking this process in a different direction. Ideological, green and often unattainable social
