EU governance under pressure – institutional responses to global challenges (debate)

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe is entering a new geopolitical era, and the unpleasant truth is that our institutions have been created for a completely different world. Today, authoritarian powers are acting faster. By means of disinformation and targeted migration, Russia is able to dismantle the countries of Europe. The United States has separated from Europe and is beginning to seek…

EU governance under pressure – institutional responses to global challenges (debate)

My colleague, I have a simple question for you: Now that you see the palaces that Viktor Orbán, a member of your faction, built, do you think he was a patriot, as you say, and how he paid off his friends and gave them money from the European budget, that Viktor Orbán listened to the citizens and that he was a real patriot?…

Yes, we can talk for hours here, Commissioner, about discrimination. We can keep talking about how it doesn't work. We can co…

I have for you some questions. You said that the solution is the electrification of Europe. But do you think that in the short term we can solve it in any other way? Give some advice to Mr Šefčovič, what he has to do with this situation and how he can really manage it, the European Commission, to unblock this situation. Also, do you have any view of the situation from your perspective, what we can…

Joint debate - Discharge 2024 (joint debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, granting discharge is not just a technical step. In fact, it is also proof that we take the protection of public money seriously and that we know how to deal with it very responsibly. Every year, the discharge agreement is not born lightly. This year was no different, but I think Daniel and I did very well. In the case of granting discharge to the Commission, we had dif…

Mr President, Europe is at a crossroads. We have war on our borders, instability in the Middle East, and we have global competition, or we can say global economic war with Donald Trump. This is not a time for hesitation. We need a strong Europe and we need a strong budget. That is why we need a targeted increase in the multiannual financial framework. Let's be honest, for less money, there will ne…

Protection of the European Union’s financial interests – combating fraud – annual report 2024 (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, we all agree on one thing. European money must be protected from thieves and fraudsters. You cannot recognize a true patriot by the fact that he is called a patriot. You can tell a true patriot by the fact that if he loses the election, he won't resign, he won't give up his mandate, he won't run away from the country where he stole taxpayers' money, and he won't go hidi…

Presidential elections in Honduras, the non-recognition of the outcome by the incumbent administration and the attacks on opposition members of the National Assembly

Madam President, at the end of November, the presidential elections were held in Honduras in an extremely tense and polarised atmosphere. I was personally on the scene as a member of an international observation mission, and I can make one thing very clear. The election day was peaceful, organized and the results seem to correspond to the will of the voters. Despite this, today we face attempts to…

We are not the ones who open the gates here for people who come here unchecked through Istanbul through Hungary to the whole of the European Union and commit crimes here. It brings informat…

Police took her to the prison this morning and she is still in detention. I am totally shocked because she will spe…

Thank you for the question, I don't think we can really fund anyone who has worked with smugglers. Smugglers are society's biggest waste.

Now I think that the Commission already sees this situation di…
