SK Written Statement

Continued financial and military support to Ukraine by EU Member States (debate)

Thank you very much. It will be three years since the conflict in Ukraine began, and half of this plenary has been repeating the same military propaganda, the same moralisation and the same blind calls for a few billion more and Ukraine to defend itself for three years. Colleagues, it's time to wake up from your childhood dreams. Ukraine cannot defend itself, and by arming it endlessly, you are on…

Ensuring promotion of clean energy in European policies (debate)

Watch

Madam President, European industry is not competitive today because we have twice as much gas as the US and China. According to the Commission, it is therefore necessary to switch to electricity in production, heating and transport. It is three times more expensive than gas today. The massive construction of renewable power plants, i.e. solar panels and wind turbines, is supposed to save us. Howev…

Urgent measures to strengthen the competitiveness and safeguard quality jobs in the EU’s automotive sector (debate)

Watch

Madam President. We have been talking here for an hour about urgent measures to save jobs in the automotive industry, which has always been one of the pillars of the European economy. However, in recent years, Stellantis has had to suspend routes to Poissy, Eisenach and other locations. Audi has closed its plant in Brussels. Mercedes is discontinuing production of its electronic GLC in Bremen. And…

European Union regulatory fitness and subsidiarity and proportionality – report on Better Law-Making covering 2023 and 2024 (debate)

Madam President, that is incredible! The prime minister of a member state of the European Union has been threatened by a dictator without a mandate, that his army will visit him at home only because he makes a sovereign policy and defends the interests of Hungary, to which he has not only a right, but also a mandate. And this institution, these MEPs, refused to even discuss it. Month after month, …

Restoring control of migration: returns, visa policy and third-country cooperation (topical debate)

Watch

Mr President, the moment is approaching when Brussels will fully launch the so-called migration pact, which will change the face of our civilization forever from June this year. This pact is not a solution, but an absolute betrayal of Europeans. Instead of the immediate closure of external borders and mass deportations, the Commission is imposing mandatory solidarity, the redistribution of illegal…

Mr President, dear colleagues, when we talk about security, we simply cannot look past the Yemen. Emirates have pulled out from the south. Even their last counterterrorism units are now gone. That has created a dangerous vacuum in the world's most vital shipping artery. The Red sea carries our energy, our trade routes, our supply chains. For years, Emirates stabilise the south and fought ISIS. The…

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 18-19 December 2025, in particular the need to support Ukraine, transatlantic relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)

Watch

I think the answer lies in where Ms Urszula von der Leyen came from, what position she held before and what scandals are associated with her, corruption, both in terms of her minister of defence within Germany and in terms of that pfizergat, I will call it in brief. So I think that there is as if to see where the wind is blowing from and why, despite the surveys, which clearly, as you say, confirm…

Allegations of espionage by the Hungarian government within the EU institutions (debate)

This Parliament has the magical power to overcome every session and to invent an unnecessarily different debate than the last one. Instead of expressing support and appreciation for the Hungarian government for an international success that can take us one step closer to peace, we are attacking again in the most bizarre way. A completely anonymous article with no evidence or witness that alleged e…

Unfortunately, the Commission also applies this completely detached approach to competitiveness and economic growth. The g…

Safeguarding the access to democratic media, such as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (debate)

If you think free media is funded by the CIA, congratulations on that. And propaganda, which was, for example, 1956 when it was this radio that was spreading propaganda to Hungarian citizens that, if they tried to protest, they would come to their aid from the West, and it did not happen, and they themselves acknowledged that it was deliberate propaganda. So no, I don't think free media is funded …

Mr President, Radio Free Europe has been conceived since its inception as an American tool of anti-communist propaganda. It was an influential operation during the Cold War that was funded directly by the CIA. I therefore find it absolutely absurd that here today, when any communist regime is thousands of kilometres away from us, we are debating whether Europe should not take over the financing of…

Mr President, three years ago in the EU we decided to cut off Russian gas. However, we achieved a 53% decrease in imports compared to 2021 not through innovation or diversification, but through the ritual sacrifice of our industry. Three times the energy prices drove the chemical giant BASF from Germany to China, shut down the furnaces of the largest steel producer ArcelorMittal in Germany and Spa…
