Speeches

Dear President, Dear Prime Minister Orbán, I would first like to thank you once again. Your support is remembered when Croatia should have joined the European Union. However, today, as far as Hungary's priorities are concerned, I must say that Serbia, as a candidate country, is not ready for membership and is far from it. As long as he does not acknowledge his responsibility for the war and tragedy of the 1990s and agrees to pay war reparations, the country has no place in the European Union. However, today you have become a political target in this House and it is simply because you misunderstand what European values are. So you dared to defend Christianity. Today you said you stand up for a God-fearing Europe. You are right, Europe is in crisis because of a lack of, in fact, awareness of the depth of the importance of Christian heritage. You are able and courageous to witness it. Therefore, you have our support and continue to fight to the end.

Dear Chair, colleagues, the new Digital Services Act gives the European Commission new powers, in fact, without precedent. So here we are facing new pitfalls and a great deal of space is opening up for the abuse of power by censors who can't wait to control what people are allowed to read. So we can't kill democracy to protect it. Some include parts of Scripture in hate speech, for example, so will it be illegal hate speech today? The very concept of hate speech is very vaguely defined and opens up opportunities to be interpreted in various ways. So we see great dangers that ordinary people will not be able to express what they think. We must learn lessons from the experience of the totalitarian regimes with which Europe has had, unfortunately, work, and obviously these impulses have not disappeared. Therefore, we refuse to accept this new act and warn in advance of the great dangers it brings.
