Mr. President, please. You know, there is not a single person in this room who speaks out against Hungary, and whatever Viktor Orbán is lying to you about, there is no one here who is plotting against the Hungarian people. Because Hungary is still the same beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful country, with Budapest, a little nostalgic Balaton, Tokaj or Villány wines, and we Hungarians are the same people the whole world has known for our hospitality. And you can have huge laughs with us, or you can party at festivals, at Sziget, Kapolcs or Balaton Sound, or you can save the world after a big Hungarian lunch, it's a little hard to stomach. And this wonderful country has been taken hostage by a very corrupt politician. Cynically, with racist and homophobic politics. So you, Commission and Council, have only one thing to do. Stop and stop funding Viktor Orbán's family members and oligarchs, and then we know our business. We will prove that Hungary is not equal to Viktor Orbán, and we will bring Hungary back to where it belongs, to Europe, to its friends and allies. That's what I undertook.

The next item is a debate on the following issues: on the oral question to the Commission by David McAllister and Maria Arena, on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, on the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime (EU Magnitsky Act) (O-000047/2021 - B9-0028/21) (2021/2563(RSP)). on the oral question to the Vice-President of the Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy by David McAllister and Maria Arena, on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, on the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime (EU Magnitsky Act) (O-000048/2021 - B9-0029/21) (2021/2563(RSP)).
