Misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms, such as TikTok, and related risks to the integrity of elections in Europe (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. Political communication is undergoing a fundamental change today. On social media, you have 5-10 seconds to grab people's attention. I think we need to adapt. The change has never been stopped by prohibition and rigid regulation. But we also know that when politics meets money, it is there that rules and regulations are most needed. Because if they don't, campaigns will…

Foreign interference and espionage by third country actors in European universities (debate)

Dear Mr President, Academic freedom is an integral part of the cultural heritage of Europe and at the same time of Hungary. Throughout history, however, this legacy has always been attacked by the enemies of Europe. Unfortunately, I have to say that in Hungary today this attack comes primarily from the current populist government against academic freedom. In addition to domestic political influenc…

Topical debate (Rule 169) - Budapest Declaration on the New European Competitiveness Deal - A future for the farming and manufacturing sectors in the EU (topical debate)

Dear Mr President, I, too, came from Budapest as a representative of the Tisza Party, and so we welcome the joint position of the European heads of state and government on enhancing the competitiveness of the European economy.

Presentation of the programme of activities of the Hungarian Presidency (debate)

Dear Madam President, Dear Prime Minister, When you responded to the speeches here, you said that you rejected any parallels between 56 and Ukraine's war defence. The fact is that it is you, your colleague sitting behind you, who has brought this parallel, with which you have outraged the people of Hungary, hundreds of thousands of people living in Hungary, but as we have heard, not only the Hunga…

Facing fake news, populism and disinformation in the EU - the importance of public broadcasting, media pluralism and independent journalism (debate)

Dear Madam President, State-sponsored disinformation must be debunked by EU instruments. We already have the Anti-SLAPP Directive and the European Media Regulation in our hands. However, in order to comply with the law, it is also necessary for citizens to be vigilant and active. I come from a country, Hungary, where the current government has perfected its heavy influence over the media with brut…
