HU Written Statement

Managing migration in an effective and holistic way through fostering returns (debate)

When the migration debate broke out, Hungary was almost alone in its position that migration must be stopped because it would fundamentally change Europe. We can remember what anger tsunami poured down on the Hungarian government for standing up for border protection. It's been nine years, and the consequences are drastic. Nearly 4 million attempts to cross the border illegally, 8 million asylum a…

Dear Madam President, We are used to the fact that when Ursula von der Leyen's Commission fails to deliver on a previously announced programme, it tries to cover it up with dozens of new programmes. In today's speech, he announced more than 40 new strategies, programmes and institutions. They just don't want to talk about the point. It's about the fact that they've pushed energy prices skyrocketin…

Dear Madam President, In recent years, you have expressed your views on the state of democracy in Hungary on numerous occasions. You are also the chairman of the Democracy Shield Committee, so I can say that you are an expert on the subject. I would like to ask your opinion on a topical issue. Based on the decision of the Hungarian government and the majority of the government, a significant numbe…

Findings and recommendations of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (debate)

Dear Madam President, The Democracy Shield Programme is, in principle, about protecting against external interference. All this in such a way that, if the Commission does not like a government in a Member State, the interventions are continuous. And that's not all. In Hungary, the new government has removed the President of the Republic and several constitutional judges. The leader of the oppositi…

EU’s response and preparedness to protect people against recurring heatwaves and upcoming wildfires (debate)

Watch

Thank you for your question. I think we agree on the goal: the need to tackle the consequences of climate change, but how we deal with it already has different approaches. You, and I can say that the left-wing Grand Coalition, are working with a plan-economy approach, which means that they are making plans compulsory which very soon turn out not to be fulfilled, and in the meantime they are not ta…

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Watch

I think he's confused two different things. You are talking about how much money has been spent on war financing so far. This amount can be checked on the website of the European Council and is public. What I was talking about is that there is no substantive and detailed discussion about the costs of enlargement. So while, as a kind of creed, the majority is expected to unconditionally support an …

But it does not seem to bother many that there have been no elections …

Dear Madam President, Several European countries are protesting against the migration pact, which came into force a few days ago. But the left-wing factions here are very much in agreement.

But this wording cunningly obscures the essence of the problem. It means…

Recent proposals to fight poverty in the EU (debate)

Mr. President, please. Little has been said about the fact that high energy prices are the biggest damage to the livelihoods of European families. It all started with the fact that forced greening did not take into account the additional costs involved, so prices surged before the pandemic. It was then decided that Europe would cut itself off from Eastern energy imports. Energy prices have continu…

Madam President, I'm sorry. If there is an economic sector that is suffering from the current energy crisis on several sides, it is agriculture. The fact that both oil and gas prices are much higher than pre-war levels is in itself a major increase in production costs. But not only the price of fuel for agricultural machinery, but also the price of fertilizer, fell by an average of 50% compared to…

That's an essential question. This house has made many decisions that force European industry into certain modes of production without taking into account the cost of doing so.

I am sure that if you ask German car manufacturers what is cau…
