Heat record year 2024 - the need for climate action to fight global warming (debate)

Dear Mr President, 2024 was one of the hottest summers in history. Climate change is no longer just a distant threat, it is part of our daily lives, and it is taking lives within the walls of hospitals. In Hungary, summer heatwaves have created life-threatening conditions. As a doctor, I've seen elderly patients in a 30-35-degree ward fight for their lives on countless occasions. Doctors and nursi…

Need to update the European strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities (debate)

My fellow Member, I believe that I have provided the facts and precise figures, which continue to show that those who take care of their relatives at home receive between EUR 100 and 200 per month, an unjustly low amount. If you, your government, really care about the situation of persons with disabilities and the situation of their families, then as a first step your support should be increased, …

Need to update the European strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. The current Hungarian government has abandoned people with disabilities, their families and the relatives caring for them at home. The support they receive is unjustly low. Home nurses receive between €100 and €200 gross per month, which is below the minimum subsistence level in net terms. This is not only a human but also a national failure. Equal opportunities for you…

Recommendation on smoke- and aerosol-free environments (debate)

Dear Mr President, There is growing scientific evidence that e-cigarettes and emerging nicotine products pose significant health risks. A serious problem is that these products have become fashionable among young people. They are often claimed to be less harmful without evidence. They are advertised as veiled fashion and harmless habit, while underestimating their harmful effects on young people. …

UN Climate Change Conference 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan (COP29) (debate)

Dear fellow Members, The climate conference has been held every year since 1995. Yet we see that the effects of climate change are posing increasingly serious challenges. Severe droughts are rendering our agricultural lands infertile, and flash floods affecting the increasingly frequent Carpathian Basin and the Iberian Peninsula are causing enormous damage to agriculture, threatening the homes of …

Foreign interference and hybrid attacks: the need to strengthen EU resilience and internal security (debate)

Dear Madam President, Fidesz MP András László serves Russian interests even on the Day of Remembrance of the Heroes of 1956. In September 2021, the Director-General of the Hungarian National Security Service reported that the Russian secret service had compromised the communication system of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. More than 4,000 workstations and more than 900 servers were affe…

Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (debate)

Dear Mr President, The Central and Eastern European region faces serious challenges that pose a serious threat to the well-being of our societies. The exodus of intellectual capital and population decline has become critical in this region. The departure of highly qualified workers abroad is also clearly visible in Hungary, leading to labour shortages in healthcare, education and child protection.…

World Mental Health Day - need for a comprehensive EU strategy on mental health (debate)

Dear Mr President, October 10 is World Mental Health Day. Mental health, that is, brain health, is a fundamental right for all people in neurological and mental terms. Research shows that one in four people in Europe suffers from mental health problems in their lifetime. In other words, in Europe, on our continent, more than 100 million people are affected by mental health problems. As a doctor in…

Urgent need to revise the Medical Devices Regulation (debate)

Dear Madam President, Before I was elected to the European Parliament, I worked as a surgeon in Hungary. In a country without basic medical supplies, without toilet paper and without soap in hospitals, where health indicators are deteriorating year after year, where tens of thousands of nurses and thousands of doctors are missing from the health care system. Most medical devices are ageing, and un…
