Human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2024 (debate)

We had our own proposal to talk about this. We wanted to talk about this here in the European Parliament, so we supported this proposal – our proposal, of course. I believe it's a very serious issue that courts decide instead of European citizens and voters. They have all the information necessary to make their choice. In my country, just recently, we had a by-election because of a criminal case a…

Human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2024 (debate)

Dear Madam President, The European Parliament's favourite occupation is to educate the world about democracy and human rights. And the moment came again: We can discuss the human rights report 2024. The European Union is a peace and freedom project. It would be good to lead by example. It is heard on numerous occasions in the European Parliament, and the authors of this report also demand that the…

Need to ensure democratic pluralism, strengthen integrity, transparency and anti-corruption policies in the EU (debate)

Dear Madam President, It is not a bit ironic, however, when the Brussels elite is concerned about democracy, transparency and corruption. Let's take them one by one. Democracy: They're trying to make the right-wing politician, Marine Le Pen, legally impossible. Why is that? Because he's a patriot, because he's against the globalist elite, and because he's the most likely presidential candidate. Tr…

Protecting the system of international justice and its institutions, in particular the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice (debate)

Dear Madam President, A few months ago, the International Criminal Court equated the leaders of the terrorist group Hamas with the leaders of Israel, which suffered the attacks on 7 October. This moral relativism is unworthy not only of the International Criminal Court, but of any court. The Hungarian government continues to welcome Israeli leaders to Hungary. The US has announced sanctions agains…

US AI chip export restrictions: a challenge to European AI development and economic resilience (debate)

US AI chip export restrictions: a challenge to European AI development and economic resilience (debate)

Madam President, free trade is the policy of leading economic powers. They sometimes even resort to dumping, selling with a loss to stifle rising competition. Challengers use protectionism to prevent leading competitors from undercutting prices and to protect the viability of their own industry. The chip war between the US and China showed what happens when you choose the wrong strategy. Joe Biden…

Preparedness for a new trade era: multilateral cooperation or tariffs (debate)

No, what I'm saying is that the EU Migration and Asylum Pact sucks and it failed even before application. What we should be doing is working together to defend our external borders together. Unfortunately, this House denies the possibility of Frontex doing that. If we don't protect our external borders together, if we don't step up against third countries who refuse to accept their unwanted nation…

Several countries are now accepting the return of their unwanted nationals from America and beefing up border protection. And Donald Trump's approval ratings are through the roof. Let's make…

Escalation of gang violence in Sweden and strengthening the fight against organised crime (debate)

Madam President, 'that we do not have control over the wave of violence is quite obvious'. This is a quote from the Swedish Prime Minister and a damning confession. Migrant gang wars have been plaguing Sweden for years now, and bomb attacks surged to a level comparable only to failed states. Citizens are scared and outraged for a reason. Who is to blame?

Mr President, EU countries want border walls and other barriers against illegal immigration, and the EU should pay for it.

What did the Commission do instead? They sued Hungary for defending the EU's external borders.…
