Madam President, AI is transformative. It's key to boosting productivity and has the potential to cure diseases, so Europe must adopt it. But to adopt it, we need to trust it, and AI also has risks. It's a technology that is not just a tool but has the potential for agency. Without safeguards, it's like developing nuclear technology and giving the big red button to an alien. The good news is that
Dear Madam President, We now see that excessive social media use can not only cause addiction and anxiety, but also affect children’s academic performance based on devastating PISA results. So now we really have to take action. The Internet has many advantages, but it is not designed for children. The goal is to make the online space safe and teach children how to use it responsibly.

Protecting children’s safety and mental health from the risks posed by social media – our duty to act now (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. After a long day, you just want to relax and play your favorite game. But what do you see on the screen? The game is unavailable. Of course, companies can't be expected to maintain all games forever, but they should manage to keep games that have already been purchased playable. And here is a more important question. When you buy a game digitally, do you buy a copy of t

Rule of law, fundamental rights and misuse of EU funds in Slovakia: the need for an EU response (debate)
Dear Madam President, Can you imagine that in 2026, private property in an EU Member State will be confiscated by the state without compensation? Relying on historical legislation, this is still happening today, creating legal uncertainty and fear. This is not only a matter of fundamental rights, but also of the internal market. How can we talk about the free movement of capital and investor confi

Tackling AI deepfakes and sexual exploitation on social media by making full use of the EU’s digital rules (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. It is unacceptable that sexualised AI-edited content about women, without their consent, or children is spreading on social media. As a result of the outrage, X blocked the function of undressing real people, but what about the sexualization of AI-generated images of children? They should always be banned, AI-generated or not. Platforms must act against the spread of al

Madam President, we are tabling this oral amendment to protect minorities and ensure their equal protection and treatment in Slovakia. Since Viktor Orbán said that his and Robert Fico's agenda is full, I hope that we, all of us together, can help them. The text of the amendment is as follows: 'Regrets reports of ongoing violations of fundamental rights in Slovakia, including the retroactive confis
Mr. President, please. I recently participated in a panel discussion where we also discussed how to make children’s online lives safer, for example with parental control tools, as minors are particularly vulnerable, exposed to online harassment, adult content, self-harm promotion or addiction algorithms. During the conversation, I got a question from the audience that I still have to this day. How
Dear Mr President, It is now time to reduce the administrative burden on our businesses. While our companies are drowning in bureaucracy, their competitors outside the EU are innovating. If we do not change this, Europe will fall even further behind. It is also time that SMEs do not have to fill in several different reports in case of cybersecurity incidents, but only one. But we also need to help
Since I did not receive an answer from my party partner about child protection, which does not go away, because child protection is not Fidesz's strong point, I would like to ask you the same question now. Fidesz and its propagandists are flooding the internet with false and fear-mongering AI-generated political advertisements and content. Child protection organizations and parents protest, but yo
Did you talk about child protection when the Hungarian government and its propagandists flood the internet with political advertisements and content generated by lying and fear-mongering artificial intelligence?

Dear Mr President, I am deeply disturbed by the fact that we even have to talk about sex dolls depicting children. This is a truly heartbreaking violation of children's rights and a stain on the EU's core values. The Commission should use all available tools – and now. The case of Temu and Schein is a fierce test. Can Europe protect its consumers and enforce its ethical and legal standards? These

Dear Mr President, Our competitiveness, our way of life and our values are at stake. There are compelling reasons why we have adopted our digital laws. The Digital Services Act serves the online safety of Hungarians and Europeans, so that dangerous products cannot be sold, such as Temun and Sheinen, so that illegal and harmful content cannot spread online. Especially if it puts our children at ris
Dear Mr President, The report rightly highlights the problem of insufficient competition in public procurement markets in the European Union and the lack of transparency in the evaluation process.

If you ask me about child protection, I will give you my opinion about child protection and the measures taken by the Hungarian Government.

In addition, the child protection system is in ruins, with one in five children being expose

Thank you for your question. You have to ask Meta because I wasn't the lead lawyer.

Need to enforce the Digital Services Act to protect democracy on social media platforms including against foreign interference and biased algorithms (debate)
Dear Madam President, Freedom of speech is a fundamental right, but it should not be confused with the amplification and dissemination of false and misleading content, which may even affect election results. This is why the trend for very large platforms, most recently Meta, is to abolish independent fact-checking, as fact-checking is not censorship. Mark Zuckerberg admits he will be able to spot

A stronger Europe for safer products to better protect consumers and tackle unfair competition: boosting EU oversight in e-commerce and imports (debate)
Dear Mr President, European markets have been disrupted by high-traffic Chinese online platforms. It is worrying that the products offered on their platform come from uncontrolled sources, are potentially dangerous and even illegal, and therefore do not comply with European rules. In turn, compliant businesses may be placed at a significant competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis online traders that do
