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…

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

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…

Dear Mr President, We are facing an extraordinary drought. According to data from the Copernicus Drought Observatory, the situation deteriorated further in June, which also means that there was an alarming level of drought in Germany, France and Hungary, among others. In my country, in April, only a tenth of the usual rainfall fell, 4 mm. Since 2021, there has been a rainfall deficit of the same m…

Dear Madam President, In recent years, when they held the usual debates on summits, they have always specifically addressed the position of the Hungarian government and have been constantly concerned about the state of democracy. But now that the new TISZA government is really beginning to destroy the rule of law, there is a grave silence. Oh, hey, hey! Is there anyone here? A one-line constitutio…

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

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 …

2025 Commission report on Ukraine (debate)

Dear Mr President, The accession talks with Ukraine begin without clarifying the fundamental issues, and the voters have not been asked. First, they stubbornly avoid the question of the security risks of a country at war. We are accustomed to the fact that the situation of minority rights is not of much interest to anyone here. 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. What is the reason for this contradiction? The Grand Coalition here claims that the pact is an effective solution to illegal immigration. 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…

Presentation of the Fertilisers Action Plan (debate)

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…

Mr. President, please. Europe is now in a very difficult situation. Energy supply has been curtailed by the pursuit of nuclear energy, mandatory greening and a ban on imports from the East. The consequences are here: the prices are gone, the extra bills are borne by the families. But the Grand Coalition here doesn't care. Nor do they care what the situation is with the Member …

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. Ask the German automotive industry if they are in favour of making these rules even stricter. And also ask them if they think their energy costs have increased. I am sure that if you ask German car manufacturers what is cau…

They do not even know exactly how many migrants they would legalise, possibly half a million or more. That means they legalise the methods of those who came illegally. This is your rule of law…
