European Council meeting (joint debate)

Madam President, The EU and its elites have been telling people for years that foreign policy is about so-called values. People have long since understood that these buzzwords are only camouflage words to obscure the obvious national interests of states. Donald Trump uses a different language. The difference to our elites: He is honest with his constituents and the world. Let me say very briefly, …

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance

Mr President! Freedom of the press in Germany is under attack. David Bendels, editor-in-chief of the German courier, was dragged to court just for posting a critical meme against the government. The local court sentenced him to seven months in prison on probation. Only the court acquitted him. This shows that the established want to prevent criticism of themselves and criminalize every free word. …

Implementation of the rule of law conditionality regime (debate)

Yes, thank you very much for this question. In fact, I believe that we are enforcing ever more totalitarian mechanisms across the EU in many countries. We note this in particular by reversing elections, by not admitting candidates to elections in France, by not admitting candidates to elections in Germany. And you are actually noticing that these totalitarian structures, which are taking up more a…

Implementation of the rule of law conditionality regime (debate)

Thank you for this request. I think we can emphasize at this point that we have a whole series of large German companies that produce very well in Hungary. And because the circumstances in Germany are so bad, and your party is responsible for that, among other things, there are more and more German companies thinking about going to Hungary. This is something that speaks for Hungary and against Ger…

Thank you for the question. I always think it's good to quote something that you call a source. You didn't do that here. But I would like to state at this point: If you look at the Hungarian economy, you will notice that there are quite a number of German companies located there, especially from the automotive industry, especially from the automotive supply industry. And I can tell you, these comp…

Implementation of the rule of law conditionality regime (debate)

Madam President, The conditionality mechanism is not a neutral instrument, but a tool of political blackmail in the hands of a dislodged Brussels elite, reminiscent of authoritarian powers shortly before their natural demise. It is used selectively against progressive conservative governments such as Hungary, which oppose the left-green ideology. And we should all be glad that this strong Hungary …

Incentivising defence-related investments in the EU budget to implement the ReArm Europe Plan (debate)

Mr President! Defence projects like ReArm Europe have nothing to do with the EU budget. Direct or indirect military financing is a breach of taboo and a misuse of taxpayers' money. Defence is and remains the core task of the sovereign states, not the EU. The new plan includes costly investments of €800 billion by 2030. They run a war economy here. The European Commission says on its website that i…

Because this Union has only one vision: more, more, more – more competences for Brussels, more bureaucracy against our companies, more redistribution at the expense of national responsibility, more money from the pockets of our taxpayers.

Madam President, I believe there is great unity in this House, and there is no doubt that women and daughters and little girls must be protected against violence.
