Speeches

Mr President, ladies and gentlement, you speak a lot about Russian interference in Georgia, but EU leaders are now conducting a huge intervention in the Georgian election themselves, questioning the results before it even happens, questioning whether the right party wins. That means if Georgian Dream wins, it is wrong. If opposition loses, it is wrong. Isn't this a hypocrisy? I doubt that the EU should intervene in the internal politics of its Member States, like Hungary or Slovakia. I am completely sure that the EU should not interfere in domestic affairs of Georgia. Most Georgians want to cooperate with the EU, but they also do business with China. They also do not want to get in war with Russia. It was it would be very destructive for them, like in the case of Ukraine. I think instead of meddling into Georgian affairs, we should understand that the Georgians know their interests better than we do.

You called the laws pro-Russian. What's wrong with foreign influence laws? The United States has had FARA since 1938, Australia has had FITS since 2018. The European Commission wanted to prevent foreign influences and prepared legislation to do so. How is this legislation being prepared by the European Commission less pro-Russian than what Georgia has done?

My colleague, I understand your position, only what you will say about the position of the two high courts - both the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice in The Hague - which quite unequivocally labelled what some Israeli government ministers are unfortunately doing as incitement to genocide?

Madam President, we should be careful when we hear 'disinformation' or 'fake news', because it is usually only a nicer word for censorship. Some politicians just don't like it when people express opinions. Do you remember public TV in times of COVID? We were told that we must close schools and churches. We were told that we must segregate the unvaccinated. We are still being told that buying vaccines from Pfizer was the best idea. Due to suppressing critique, the governments were able to make and keep wrong decisions. In democracy we cannot have governments or unelected commissioners saying what is right and what is wrong. It is up to the people. Hillary Clinton said recently that social media must be regulated or we will lose total control. This shows what it is really about. It is about control. It is a power grab by failing mainstream parties carrying out an attack on the right to disagree.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the majority here is critical of Hungary's national card programme for workers from eight countries who are undergoing strict pre-accession checks. Critics, however, immediately assume that those of these workers who are Russians or Belarusians pose a security risk. This is the application of the principle of collective guilt. For me, given the history of our region, completely unacceptable, unfortunately now again common among the so-called liberals. This criticism comes at a time of irregular and irregular migration, when the borders of the European Union are being crossed by masses of people who are completely undocumented, completely unchecked. This also applies to the recent wave of refugees, when, according to a report by the Czech Ministry of the Interior, organized criminals, the so-called. rafts at the root They're not mafia bosses. This makes it much easier than a work visa for any terrorist or spy to enter the European Union. Let us therefore abandon the politically motivated bullying of Hungary and try, in the interests of the security of our voters, to control all migration to Europe at least as well as Hungary intends to implement its programme of work visa recipients.

Mr President, colleagues, the conflict in Ukraine does not have a military solution, but only a diplomatic one. Two years of war after the failure of the Istanbul negotiations brought nothing but hundreds of thousands of deaths and trillions of dollars of damage. Further military support, including the currently considered use of long-range missiles, creates a threat of escalation and direct participation of European Union states in the war. Citizens have not given us a mandate to do so. Our delegation Enough! was elected on the basis of a clear peace programme, and the parties with a clear anti-war stance also succeeded in other recent elections. Even hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in the European Union are now not interested in returning and fighting at the front. Others, on the other hand, are trying to flee Ukraine from recruiters. War escalation is the worst of the bad solutions that now remain. The best thing is to negotiate peace, to restore economic cooperation in Eastern Europe, because only this can bring the prosperity necessary, among other things, to rebuild Ukraine. That is why we should support, not criticize, the Hungarian Presidency and Prime Minister Orban, who is able to act both in Kiev and Moscow, both in Washington and Beijing. The way forward is diplomacy leading to peace, not arms supplies and not war escalation. This is the opinion of our constituents.
