What Lívia spoke about.

Congratulations to the rapporteurs, they have had their work cut out for them to establish such a report that provides a strong legal basis for the protection of women and all victims of domestic violence and reached a compromise that is in line with most Member States legal systems with leaving our differing ideologies out of the conversation. Studies have identified five main barriers to assista

Please read Act LXXIX of 2021! The previous sections can be found in the written contributions of Tamás Deutsch, Andrea Bocskor, Edina Tóth, Ádám Kósa. 5. Amendment of Act CLXXXV of 2010 on media services and mass media (3) in Section 32, the following paragraph 4a is added: ‘(4a) Programmes which are capable of impairing the proper physical, mental and moral development of children, in particular

Madam President, dear Commissioner, dear colleagues, the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim hatred in Europe and even among ourselves here is very concerning. However, I’m disappointed a little bit when I didn’t see anti-gypsyism beside these on the agenda here today, though. The Roma are the largest and probably the most discriminated ethnic minority in Europe, and the rise of the hatred again

Dear Mr President, Hate incitement that has been open for 20 years, rarely moderated forums, hidden corners of the Internet, is now taking place in open Facebook groups and unmoderated tweets on some of the world's most visited social media sites. The effects of this hatred are not only felt online. The fact that people can hate online, freely, in a quasi-anonymous way eliminated these inhibitions

Mr President, dear colleagues, honourable Commissioner, in November 2023 we approved the resolution, with recommendations to the Commission, on quality traineeships, requesting more funding and stronger implementation for the Member States. Roma youth, whom I represent, are especially desperate for more opportunities because about 83% of Roma children are at risk of poverty, especially now, after

Dear Madam President, Schattendorf, mayor of the Austrian village on the Austrian-Hungarian border, closed the border crossing between the two countries in March 2023. His goal was to ban Hungarian commuters from the village during his election campaign. Under the new system, the border crossing will only be used for commuters with a €160 permit if it can be demonstrated that they have a particula

Dear Mr President, Last week, the world commemorated the victims of the Holocaust, about a fifth of whom were Roma, according to recent research. The Roma are still the largest, poorest and most discriminated minority in Europe. In 2011, however, the Hungarian Presidency agreed on a framework strategy for Roma integration in the European Union. However, over the past 13 years, we have seen signifi

Dear Madam President, Dear colleagues, It is unacceptable, as you have said, that there is no stable energy supply and heating for all households in the EU in 2023. Disadvantaged people are particularly affected by the cost of living crisis. I represent the Roma in Europe and we have a lot of problems to face this winter. We therefore need very strong action by Member States, with very strong EU s

My next question would be: do you know how many segregated Gypsy classes there were in Hungary under your government and how many there are under the Orbán government today?

I apologize for my voice. Do you agree, my fellow Member, that the Roma in Hungary, who have gone through a very significant development in recent years, and the Hungarian Government has set an example to the other Member States in this regard, and we expect them to do the same, do you agree that, because of your unfounded accusations, these Roma are losing out on their programmes? The kindergarte

Dear Mr President, We are delighted that the 16th European Platform for Roma Rights will be held in Madrid on 30 November, organised by the Spanish Presidency. We welcome the fact that the Spanish Presidency has been able to reach a Council conclusion prohibiting segregation, and we consider it very important that the next member of the trio, Belgium, also does its part. In this European Parliamen

Dear Madam President, The series of crises in recent years has hit our states extremely hard, and even those Member States that have performed very well in the past ten years, such as child poverty, have seen poverty rise by 20% in those countries, and 83% of Roma children in Europe are now living in poverty. In 2011, this was the House and the European Commission, which launched the pan-European

Madam President, I'm sorry. Roma are in the worst position in terms of housing conditions in the EU. Therefore, as previous speakers have said, we need a very integrated approach for disadvantaged communities. We must prevent discrimination in the search for housing against the poorest, parents living with children, young people or even pensioners, the elderly or foreign currency lenders. We have

Mr. President, please. Joining the speakers before me, not repeating the same thing: Roma are the most outcast and poorest in the European labour market. However, we were able to significantly improve their employment rates in Hungary. In addition to discrimination in the workplace and the lack of vocational training programmes, the poorest receive jobs that are even worse than their qualification

Mr. President, please. We are a few days after the commemorations of the Holocaust and International Roma Day, and we are almost 20 years after I first had the opportunity to speak for the Roma here in Parliament, and then in 2006, 10, 14 and 21, we adopted reports in various committees so that the European Commission can put as much material as possible before the European Council as the European

Mr. President, please. Promoting the chances of women, especially women from disadvantaged backgrounds, is one of the most important issues we have in common. We must strive to eliminate all forms of discrimination and discrimination, and it is very much to be welcomed, as the Commissioner said, that in the area of digitalisation, in the area of start-ups, we can further promote the social inclusi

Dear Mr President and fellow Members, Last week, we paid tribute to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust, including the Roma families who were victims of this incomprehensible violence, many of whose descendants still experience certain forms of discrimination and exclusion. Therefore, in 2010 and 2011, this House forced the Hungarian Presidency to adopt a European Roma strategy, and then in

Dear Mr President, With the current economic outlook, there are few more pressing and important issues for the Union than the employment policies of the Member States. And the situation is much worse among the very poorest, who have managed to pull themselves up somewhat in recent years, because the COVID crisis and the Russian-Ukrainian war have brought economic uncertainty, daily struggles, and

Dear Madam President, 95.4 million people were at risk of poverty or social exclusion in 2021, according to Eurostat data, in the European Union. This means that almost one in five EU citizens struggles on a daily basis to earn their livelihood or social esteem. However, the economic stagnation caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war at the EU borders make this situation e

Thank you very much for your speech. I would like to ask you if you know how many other countries have not joined EPPO.

Dear Madam President, Commissioner, Poor and Gypsy settlements and Roma settlements in Slovakia are no different from Western European segregated ones, unfortunately. If you are not born there, it is difficult to imagine with what difficulties and inequality of opportunity the lives of those who are born in such a settlement begin. However, intergenerational extreme poverty can be stopped by makin

Dear Mr President, My fellow Members! The reality of war has been with us for more than two months. Ukraine, exposed to Russian aggression, needs full humanitarian assistance, and I am proud to say that I am part of a country that does help. And there is no dispute between us that the most important thing right now is help. I represent the most vulnerable. I am a member of a minority, but besides

Madam President, I'm sorry. The fight against cancer belongs not only to science, not only to society, not only to politics, but to all of us. Cancer kills more than 1.3 million people each year, including 6,000 children. 3 million new cases are diagnosed and more than 12 million survivors struggle to return to normal life. It is important that the results of scientific research are communicated t

Madam President, I'm sorry. Gender equality is a key issue in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We regret that EU-wide lockdowns and economic stagnation have only increased the sense of insecurity and thus the differences between women and men. It is important to finally understand that the poorest, those at risk of poverty, and especially the Roma in Europe, face similar cumulative disadvanta

You are right that we need male champions, especially because we have such wonderful female champions as Ms Regner and Ms Fitzgerald.
