EU Preparedness Union in light of the upcoming wildfire and droughts season (debate)

Dear Madam President, Dear Commissioner, Summer is the peak of forest fires in some parts of Europe, while other regions, including Hungary, are also affected by severe drought. My country's government is making serious efforts to mitigate the effects of drought, not abandoning farmers. The irrigable area was 150,000 hectares in 2020 and 250,000 hectares last year. Farmers received 176 billion for…

Institutional and political implications of the EU enlargement process and global challenges (debate)

Dear Mr President, Exactly one year ago, accession negotiations began with Ukraine, and following the success of Hungarian diplomacy, our eleven-point proposals for the protection of the Transcarpathian Hungarian community living in Western Ukraine were integrated into the general accession negotiation framework. Thus, the protection of the rights of Transcarpathian Hungarians has officially becom…

Combating the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and child sexual abuse material and replacing Council Framework Decision 2004/68/JHA (recast) (debate)

Dear Madam President, I also cannot stand by the fact that a man criticizes child protection in Hungary who listened to his own wife, the mother of his children, in his own home, and thus started his political career. He's not even in there to hear me say that Hungary has the strictest child protection laws in Europe. The government has abolished the statute of limitations for sexual crimes agains…

80 years after the end of World War II - freedom, democracy and security as the heritage of Europe (debate)

Mr. President, please. Today we remember the end of World War II and the victims, soldiers and civilians who experienced and suffered the horrors of one of the darkest periods in our history. How ironic it is that, while we praise the peace that came 80 years ago in the neighbourhood of the Union, the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has been raging for more than three years, is still killing people. …

EU support for a just, sustainable and comprehensive peace in Ukraine (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. On the 1169th day of the war, we finally reached the point of talking about peace in the European Parliament. Through stronger diplomatic efforts, the EU could have played a huge role in not waiting until now and in preventing tragedy. However, it is no stranger to the left-liberal majority that controls the European Union to distance itself from reality, to ignore fact…

The European Water Resilience Strategy (debate)

Mr. President, please. The report on which today's debate is based is a welcome initiative, as there is no future without water. Factors raised in their interventions, including increasingly frequent extreme weather conditions, increasing water demand and droughts, have highlighted the need for a much more conscious management. There are also positive examples in Hungary, such as our flood protect…

European Action Plan on Rare Diseases (debate)

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this is the first blue card in this debate, and I would also like to say that I am very sad that your delegation is using these debates in the European Parliament to attack the Hungarian Government for campaign purposes. On the one hand, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that, here in the European Parliament, we should rather talk …

European Action Plan on Rare Diseases (debate)

Dear Mr President, Today we are talking about an important topic that is estimated to affect 30 million people in the EU, yet is often neglected in public discourse. Imagine what it must feel like to be confronted with a diagnosis that hardly anyone has heard of and for which hardly any treatment is available. It is about rare diseases. In addition to the Member States, it is the responsibility of…

Action Plan for the Automotive Industry (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. The European automotive industry is on the brink of a gap. The industry is facing serious competitiveness problems and is lagging behind in the global market. Energy prices triggered by the war and excessive green regulations imposed by the Commission make it impossible for a sustainable but competitive automotive industry to operate. Unfortunately, the action plan pres…

Madam President, I'm sorry. In recent years, shortages of critical medicines have become more frequent due to problems in supply chains. This is due to geopolitical factors such as the Russian-Ukrainian war or the coronavirus pandemic, as well as excessive concentration of production and sourcing of raw materials in Asia.

Dear Mr President, War, war, war. We've been hearing this from the media every day for three years. It's terrible to say, but we're getting used to it. We have learned to live with the fact that war is raging in Europe. However, for the population of Ukraine, this is not only a staggering statistic, a terrible recording of what is happening on the battlefield, but also part of their everyday reali…

Oh, Mr. President. It is unacceptable that politicians in some EU candidate countries who stand up for the rights and interests of their communities are subjected to intimidation and pressure. Unfortunately, this is also the case in Ukraine, where a website, Myrotvorets, has been operating undisturbed with the knowledge of the authorities for years.

Madam President, I'm sorry. The basis of human life is clean drinking water. Our bodies are 60 percent water. Without this liquid treasure, we will only survive for a few days at most. Yet millions of citizens in the European Union do not have access to clean drinking water. Adequate drinking water supply for pregnant women and children is a particularly serious issue.
