Recent devastating floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina (debate)

Increasingly unpredictable weather conditions have caused many natural disasters across Europe in recent years. A few weeks ago, Central and Eastern Europe had to face heavy flooding, triggered by heavy rainfall. Thanks to the government of Hungary and the cooperation of the Hungarian people, flood protection was successful and did not claim human lives besides material damage. The pictures we saw…

At the same time, it is important to interpret today's debate in the current European political context. Over the past few weeks, we have received a clear message: Enlargement is a strategi…

Protecting children’s safety and mental health from the risks posed by social media – our duty to act now (debate)

Dear Madam President, Social media is part of everyday life, but the online space also poses real risks for children, to which Europe must respond decisively and immediately. It is particularly worrying that the algorithms of some platforms increase the spread of harmful content and the development of addiction by keeping attention as long as possible. Age limitation alone is not sufficient, relia…

International Day of Education, fighting inequalities in access to education (debate)

Dear Madam President, On the occasion of the International Day of Education, we must say: education is not a privilege, but a fundamental right that must be accessible to all without restriction or discrimination. We often treat educational inequality as a global problem and identify it with the poorest regions of the world. It also exists in Europe today. Not because of poverty, but because of po…

Dear Madam President, The Hungarian community in Slovakia has been promised that today's debate will be about the Beneš decrees. Compared to this, we see that the agenda has once again turned into a political debate against a Member State, but now it is Slovakia, not Hungary, that is on the agenda.

Mr. President, please. The European Parliament started the last plenary session of the year with a difficult but unavoidable theme: How can Europe protect its public security against organised crime?

Dear Madam President, When we talk about the dangers of online space, we often only mention cyberbulling, game addiction and too long screen time.

Large digital platforms cannot contain these risks, so it is good to talk about it…
