2023 and 2024 reports on Serbia (debate)

Mr. President, please. Thank you very much for the word. We are saddened to see that, as in the past, this Serbian country report is unbalanced, politically biased, does not present real progress in a proportionate manner and ignores the geopolitical sensitivity of the region. Commissioner Kos said during her recent visit to Belgrade that she and the European Commission support university students…

A revamped long-term budget for the Union in a changing world (debate)

Thank you very much for your question, Congresswoman. It was expected that a member of the Tisza Party would ask such a question. However, I would like to ask how it is that the Tisza Party is happy that the European Union is withholding the resources that are rightfully due to Hungary, and they hope that the Tisza Party will therefore perform better in the 2026 election. This is a very, very self…

A revamped long-term budget for the Union in a changing world (debate)

Mr. President, please. The left-wing Grand Coalition of the European Parliament wants an EU budget after 2027 whose resources would further support the implementation of the disastrous Pact on Asylum and Migration, the opaque funding of pseudo-civilian political activist networks, the financing of the war in Ukraine, and ideologically-based financial blackmailing of Member States.

The importance of trans-European transport infrastructure in times of stalling economic growth and major threats to Europe’s security (debate)

Dear Mr President, The development of the trans-European transport network is not just a technical detail. This is an important issue from an economic, military and geopolitical point of view. Five TEN-T corridors and two military mobility corridors cross the territory of Hungary. Therefore, we know exactly the risk of delaying their development. Projects such as the development of the Belgrade-Bu…

European Cultural Compass as a driving force for economic competitiveness and resilience (debate)

Dear Madam President, Culture is not only an important element of national identity, it is also important from an economic and competitiveness point of view. Across Europe, 7.8 million people work in this sector, which accounts for 2% of EU GDP. Cultural policy should not be second-rate in the budget and should therefore have a corresponding weight in the next MFF. In addition to the majority of n…

Union of Skills: striving for more and better opportunities to study, train or work in the EU and to bring our talents back home (debate)

At the same time, we must not forget that education and training are competences of the Member States, which the EU can support through guidance, funding and coordination.

Madam President, I'm sorry. Today, Serbia is experiencing a political crisis. There has been increasing street violence and civil disobedience, and even serious disorder in the plenary session of the Serbian Parliament on 4 March, when opposition MPs used smoke bombs and pyrotechnics in the Chamber. This seriously jeopardised not only the conduct of the meeting, but also the safety of their collea…

I would like to ask you, since you have been talking about LGBTQI+ children, do you know that, psychologically speaking, we cannot talk about LGBTQI children because there is no such thing in psychology. There is no such thing as gender identity in children up to the age of 25. When will you accept that children cannot be subject to the LGBTI propaganda?…
