Pending approval of the Hungarian national plan for Security Action for Europe (SAFE) funding in light of persistent concerns around the allocation of public funding (debate)

Madam President, I'm sorry. I would like to warmly welcome those Members of the European Parliament who think that there is nothing left to do in their own country, so they are also dealing with my country tonight, for the 35th time. I'm not kidding. Let me recall last year's editorial position of the EU-observer. They said that Hungary must be disciplined by all means. Hit them with anything you …

Madam President, I'm sorry. The Cyprus Presidency does not have an easy task. The Grand Coalition here and the European Commission expect him to make progress on big issues, such as budgetary issues. This is gonna be a bumpy ride. So far, 193 billion euros have gone to war, now 90 billion euros are being borrowed and another 100 billion euros are being put into the budget – the seven-year-old.

Mr. President, please. Ursula von der Leyen and her colleagues signed the Mercosur agreement over the weekend without the European Parliament even approving it. This in itself says a lot about what those who constantly refer to democratic rights really think about them. In a few hours, farmers will be protesting in large numbers in front of Parliament. They are angry and have every reason to be. T…

Implementation of the rule of law conditionality regime (debate)

Mr. President, please. Do you know what tells us about the true nature of the rule of law procedures? Politico's headline last week, quote: “Belgium will also be treated like Hungary if it does not support the Ukrainian financial package.” It is as simple as a wedge. If someone does not stand in line, the conditionality procedure, the withholding of funds will start and there will be a umpteenth c…

Phasing out Russian natural gas imports and improving monitoring of potential energy dependencies (debate)

Madam President, when talking about the ban of eastern energy imports, the majority here are not willing to talk about one thing: the fact that for a great number of countries, all the alternatives are more expensive. The Draghi Report clearly states that European companies already have to pay five times as much for gas than their American counterparts. As a consequence, European GDP growth is slu…

Madam President, I'm sorry. This is a rather absurd situation. Some of the proposals, including this one, are about the fact that the Brussels institutions want to partially carve out the set of venomous green rules that they themselves have created. So the action is to withdraw what was previously said to be good, but not good. No problem, cutting red tape is, after all, the right direction, but …

2026 budgetary procedure: joint text (debate)

Dear Mr President, We have a lot of problems with the 2026 budget. Firstly, despite the fact that millions of Europeans are sending out a message that they want change, this budget does not respond at all. For example, more money would be spent on the migration pact with 2 billion euros, which means what? Mandatory distribution of migrants. What happened today is very characteristic of the attitud…

Communication on the Democracy Shield (debate)

Dear Mr President, In principle, the aim of the Democracy Shield Programme is to strengthen protection against external interference, such as Russian interference. That would be fine. On the other hand, what's in it? More money for liberal activist groups, left-wing media and fact-checkers. And the creation of a so-called democratic resilience centre. In communism, there was no such fancy name for…

Dear Mr President, In this house, the so-called Draghi Report is quoted as a political bible. This report described how European companies are paying five times higher prices for gas than America. Sanctions are the main reason for this.

Ending all energy imports from Russia to the EU and closing loopholes through third countries (debate)

Mr. President, please. There is a strong consensus here that Russian energy imports should be banned. It's about ideology for you, but it's about economic damage for us. Not to Russia, but to us. A few countries in our region, so Hungary can only get energy at a higher price if it does not come from the East. We inherited this situation. This move, in our case, is calculated to cause as much loss …

I wouldn't consider this smear campaign serious if it wasn't for my country. Interestingly, there are dozens of truly democracy-violating events that are somehow never debated here.

There are three important aspects to this case.

According to data from a research centre in Berlin, 8,600 anti-Semitic incidents were recorded last year in Germany …
