HU Written Statement

Situation in Lebanon (debate)

The political and humanitarian situation in Lebanon has continued to deteriorate over the past year. The country is facing the challenge of 1.5 million Syrian refugees, food shortages, economic crisis and political instability at the same time. The circumstances of the Beirut explosion a year ago remain unclear, with no accountability for those responsible, causing significant social tensions. As …

HU Question

Defence (joint debate)

Watch

Dear Madam President, Developing Europe's defence capability is an obvious strategic necessity. Our first and almost exclusive task is to strengthen the security of European citizens, but it does not matter how we do this. The purpose of the European Defence Fund is not to become a means of financing a war conflict outside the EU. There are many other approved ways to do this. Make it clear: stren…

Mr President, I try to follow the wise words of my colleagues, but in my mother tongue, Hungarian. Dear Commissioner, Dear Mr President, If the European Union has succeeded in the world in recent decades, it is indeed humanitarian aid, the aim of which, as has already been mentioned, is to alleviate human suffering. This is especially true at a time when two million people in Gaza do not have acce…

Ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, notably the Kawel village massacre

Watch

Dear Madam President, This is the third time we have addressed the issue of the persecution of Christians in Nigeria in this cycle. It is unfortunate that, despite this, the Commission, and many here, are doing everything in their power to present attacks on Christians solely as an ethnic conflict. Acknowledging the persecution of Christians, the von der Leyen Commission fears holy water as a devi…

Housing crisis in the European Union with the aim of proposing solutions for decent, sustainable and affordable housing (debate)

Watch

Dear Madam President, What is really behind the housing crisis? Basically, we don't do our homework at home. The left-liberal majority in Brussels sees housing merely as a social project and wants to centralise a fundamentally national competence once again. What is really worrying is that in many countries social housing has already become a tool for managing mass migration. More than one million…

Mr. President, please. Strengthening the European defence industry is a very important common goal. Strong defence should not serve the preparation for war, but the maintenance and establishment of peace. Russia has launched a war of aggression against Ukraine, Ukraine's most natural right is defence, and it is seeking support for this. However, this must not lead to the destruction of the Europea…

The need for a united support to Ukraine and for a just and durable peace concluded on Ukraine's terms, with Europeans and without surrendering to Vladimir Putin's conditions ahead of the foreseen Budapest summit (debate)

Watch

That seems to be a relevant question, but, you know, the problem is that you didn't listen to what I told you. The only question is how can we save the lives of thousands and thousands of people? Of course, it's a negotiation. It's a balance. It's compromises. And, of course, I don't say to Mr Putin, 'I can't say "No"'. But the problem is there: whether Europe is a player of the peace-making proce…

African leaders must give their own citizens security and vision. That's their responsibility. We can help, we can't help, we can't take responsibility. Today, there are about 1.5 billion people living in Africa, only 25 years from now, and by 2050 th…

The EU's humanitarian aid of €235 million and the Council's decision to suspend sanctions are positive developments. However, the tragic events of the past few…

Of course, there have always been and always will be disputes. I know that in the group, but of course that is not the case.
