Outcome of the Summit of the Future: transforming global governance for building peace, promoting human rights and achieving the sustainable development goals (debate)

The foundation of the future can only be a safe and peaceful present. The European Union is a symbol of peace. It was created by the founding fathers to ensure that future generations would never experience the horrors of war. It is our duty to preserve this legacy. We must be ambassadors of peace on all platforms. We must do everything in our power to ensure peace and security in Europe. We need …

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Dear Mr President, I was born in Transcarpathia, in a Hungarian family. I know the Hungarian community very well. Its members are loyal and law-abiding citizens of Ukraine. They condemn Russian aggression and bear the burden of war. Hungarian-speaking soldiers serve on the front, and more than a hundred of them have already given their lives for the protection of Ukraine. However, this community h…

Reviewing the ETS system to support European competitiveness (topical debate)

Mr. President, please. The revision of the ETS should break with the ideological approach of the Green Deal, which has seriously weakened Europe's competitiveness in recent years. As our competitors grow stronger with cheap energy and targeted industrial policy, Europe is putting an increasing burden on its own industry and citizens. The energy crisis has already put Europeans at a serious disadva…

European solidarity: key to securing medicine access in a shifting geopolitical era (debate)

Mr. President, please. War conflicts, the fragility of supply chains and the increasingly severe energy crisis have clearly shown that Europe is overly dependent on third countries for pharmaceutical active ingredients, raw materials and certain critical health products. The crises of recent years have made it clear that health sovereignty is not a theoretical issue, but also a strategic interest …

Dear Madam President, Batrad reads the Ukrainian inscription in Cyrillic and Latin on the nameplate of a Transcarpathian settlement. It's hard to tell from this, but we're in Bótrágy, which is mostly Hungarian-inhabited. As a Transcarpathian Hungarian, I know that the Hungarian inscription is disappearing from more and more Hungarian-populated settlements, because although the laws allow the local…

Rule of law, fundamental rights and misuse of EU funds in Slovakia: the need for an EU response (debate)

I strongly reject the fact that the Hungarian government has abandoned its fellow Hungarians living in any foreign region. I think that our political community has put a lot of deeds on the table over the last twenty years instead of words, and what my fellow Member says is also not true in the case of the Beneš decrees. The government has indicated its reservation, discusses this issue and provid…

Rule of law, fundamental rights and misuse of EU funds in Slovakia: the need for an EU response (debate)

Dear Madam President, It's a comedy again. The People's Party believes that it is placing the issue of the deprivation of rights of the Hungarian community in Slovakia on the agenda of the European Parliament. But, as the title of the debate suggested, and as most of the speeches that have been made so far have shown, that is not what this debate is about. Is this how the People's Party, including…

You have deliberately, on the basis of a political decision, refused to include the protection of traditional national and linguistic minorities in the tex…

Investments in strategically important medicines should be supported to ensure the safety of European patients. Production in Europe must be strengthened, not by slogans, but by concrete decision…

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)

Thank you for the question. With regard to Ukraine's accession to the EU, I believe, precisely with regard to my minority Hungarian origin, that this issue is not timely at the moment, since the rights of Transcarpathian Hungarians and other national minorities are not currently settled in Ukraine. This is described in the basic documents of the European Union, in the Copenhagen criteria, as the n…
