Empowering the Single Market to deliver a sustainable future and prosperity for all EU citizens (debate)
Dear Madam President, The Single Market is the most understandable value of the Union. Cheaper flights, or the advantage of being able to make free phone calls with loved ones at home, don't need to be explained. We have also had some bitter experiences. Services Directive, Posted Workers, Mobility Package. When adopting them, the Commission has always put the interests of Western Europeans first.…

Preparation of the European Council of 17-18 October 2024 (debate)
Dear Mr President, President Draghi has given the diagnosis, and the French President is also saying that the EU could die if it does not become more competitive. Today, the welfare model of the Union is under threat. People feel it on their skin. In the European manufacturing sector alone, 850,000 jobs have been lost in five years. We need to act now. At the same time, the EP, from the People's P…

Situation in Venezuela (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. We can safely say that God created Venezuela in good spirits. However, the communist regime, which had been in power for twenty-five years, completely destroyed the country, which had been flourishing until then. There is a lack of basic food and medicines. 8 million people have been forced to leave their country. Hungary had to evacuate more than a thousand veneers wit…

The future of European competitiveness (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. I agree with President Draghi's diagnosis, we are lagging behind. Excessive greening ambitions of ideologically driven economic policy and overregulation have led to this. The Commission in run-off, as well as this House, from the People’s Party to the Communists, have a huge responsibility. As far as the recipe is concerned, the picture is more mixed. I am pleased that…

Effective coordination of economic policies and multilateral budgetary surveillance - Speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure – amending Regulation - Requirements for budgetary frameworks of the Member States – amending Directive (joint debate – Economic governance)
Mr. President, please. On the positive side, the reform of the fiscal framework continues to focus on curbing indebtedness. The rules will become more flexible and Member States will have more room for manoeuvre. I also welcome the fact that interest, defence and EU co-financing expenditure will be better taken into account when establishing the deficit. This is particularly important in times of …

Conclusions of the recent European Council meetings, in particular on a new European Competitiveness deal and the EU strategic agenda 2024-2029 (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. The President of the Commission lives in an alternative reality. We have five years of wasted time behind us. The EU has failed in crisis management, is weak and divided. The EU is a peace project, and Brussels is pro-war. The Russian-Ukrainian war has no military solution. It is not clear who the aggressor is and who the victim is. The sooner there is peace, the more l…

European Semester for economic policy coordination 2024 – European Semester for economic policy coordination: employment and social priorities for 2024 (joint debate – European Semester)
Mr. President, please. The European Semester was originally set up in 2011 under the Hungarian Presidency to coordinate the economic processes of the Member States and to ensure financial discipline. But this is not a priority for the left: For years, everything was done to force ideological elements into the framework. The reform of economic governance has also been fought to ensure that the Comm…

State of play of the corporate sustainability due diligence directive (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. Europe's economy is bleeding from a thousand wounds. Stagnation, high energy prices, labour shortages, a weakening business environment. Our share of the world's GDP is also shrinking compared to other regions, and instead of looking for a solution, we are making our own fate more difficult by screening rules such as corporate due diligence. This is also proof of the id…

EU/Chile Advanced Framework Agreement - EU/Chile Advanced Framework Agreement (Resolution) - Interim Agreement on Trade between the European Union and the Republic of Chile (joint debate - EU-Chile agreements)
Mr. President, please. I am pleased that we can finally put the spotlight on the "i" in the renewal of the EU-Chile Association Agreement. After November, when we concluded a similar agreement with New Zealand, another free trade agreement is now on the table. One might think that the Union is entering into such agreements one after the other, but unfortunately the reality is that the Commission's…

Financial activities of the European Investment Bank - annual report 2023 (debate)
Mr. President, please. Europe is facing pressing challenges. We urgently need to improve our competitiveness. The green and digital transitions must be carried out on the basis of common sense. It is necessary to give a new impetus to industry and to put small and medium-sized enterprises in a position. The European Investment Bank has always been an important actor in supporting EU priorities. In…

Multilateral negotiations in view of the 13th WTO Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi, 26-29 February 2024 (debate)
Dear Mr President, The WTO is a symbol of open, rules-based trade. The fact that 164 countries sit at the table year after year and try to develop trade between themselves is commendable, even if sometimes cumbersome. This cooperation must be built on, because it is in the interest of an export-oriented Europe. I support the reform of the organisation and all proposals, including the launch of neg…

One-minute speeches on matters of political importance
Dear Mr President, We are already accustomed to the fact that the international media and the left are colluding and creating a debate in this House out of trumped-up issues with the aim of discrediting Hungary. We are also used to double standards. We are expected to do things that others are not expected to do, for example, in the field of justice or in matters that have nothing to do with them …

Situation of prisoners in Hungarian jails, including the case of Ilaria Salis (debate)
Madam President, I must repeat my request to also listen to Hungary in this debate, if this Parliament considers the rule of law and due process to be important. As I mentioned earlier, under Rule 137(4) of the Rules of Procedure, which is an important Rule, a Member has the right to be respected in a debate. In this debate, Hungary is not given the right to speak, while we are being accused of ve…

Order of business
Madam President, I will speak in Italian. I would like to protest against the procedure applied for the debate on Ilaria Salis, which does not comply with Rule 137(4) of the Rules of Procedure and violates European values. One Member State, Hungary, is seriously accused, and as a Hungarian Member I am not granted the right to speak in the debate. This does not respect the principle of due process …

Fight against the resurgence of neo-fascism in Europe, also based on the parade that took place in Rome on 7 January (debate)
Dear Mr President, In my country, Hungary, any kind of totalitarian symbol or act, be it far-left or far-right, is prohibited. Using them is a crime. And that's the right thing to do. However, I am speaking out in the debate to protest against the left's attempts to make political gains. Dear fellow Members, What the hell's going on? Why do we allow the European Parliament to be a space of hatred …

Amendments to the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) - Amendments to the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) (joint debate - Markets in financial instruments regulations)
Dear Madam President, It is refreshing to finally speak out on a topic where we stand on the ground of common sense. The revision of the Markets in Financial Instruments legislation will strengthen the position of investors and facilitate access to capital markets for businesses. Firms are largely financed through bank lending in Europe, capital markets are weaker than in America, and this represe…

European Economic Security Strategy (debate)
Mr. President, please. I suggest consideration. The FDI Screening Regulation has been in force for three years, so we do not yet have enough information to assess it. However, it is certain that broadening the powers of the Commission is not the right way forward, as national security is a Member State competence. That should be respected. It is also wrong to focus a strategy on questioning relati…

Threat to rule of law as a consequence of the governmental agreement in Spain (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, according to the Socialists, selling the country by seven votes is an internal matter. Well, I wouldn't be very surprised if, after a moment, speaking of Hungary and Poland with the greatest effervescence, we are judged on any kind of matter. Don't you see any discrepancies in this? And they do so with the maximum conspiracy of the European Commission and are ma…

Reducing regulatory burden to unleash entrepreneurship and competitiveness (topical debate)
Dear Madam President, Dear fellow Members, European companies are right to sound the alarm about the burden on their shoulders. According to Eurochambers, business prospects are now at their worst since the 2008 crisis. German family businesses have issued a joint statement that they are already critically overwhelmed by EU rules. Companies face a number of challenges: economic downturn, high inte…

EU/New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (debate)
Dear Madam President, Dear fellow Members, The current Commission has very lean certification in the area of trade policy. Only the EU-Vietnam agreement, negotiated by the previous Commission, has been put in place, and now we have reached New Zealand. That's painfully little. Since COVID, supply chains have not been safe. The situation has been exacerbated by the wars, putting European production…

Commission Work Programme 2024 (debate)
Ladies and Gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, If the Commission does not change course in these dangerous times, crises could even bury the Union. So what should be done? Firstly, there is a need for broad-based cooperation against terrorism, in order to understand its migration implications. Zero tolerance for those sympathetic to terrorism and terrorism. Secondly, the Commission should not push th…

Effectiveness of the EU sanctions on Russia (debate)
Dear Mr President, Dear fellow Members, There is no dispute between us that the Russian aggression against Ukraine is unacceptable. However, the sanctions did not provide a solution. What is more, we see that Europe is paying a heavier price than the aggressor. The price is the execution of Europe's economy and competitiveness. New dependencies, rising energy prices, inflation, disruption of suppl…

Need to complete new trade agreements for sustainable growth, competitiveness and the EU’s strategic autonomy (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. The EU has been in trouble for a long time, its economy is almost stagnating and competitiveness is at its lowest point. War and rising energy prices are giving our competitors an advantage. COVID-torn supply chains are also in a difficult situation. In such cases, trade relations should be conducted on the basis of common sense. Instead, however, we see that the Commis…

Energy Charter Treaty: next steps (debate)
Madam President, I'm sorry. I remember clearly, after the modernisation negotiations of the Energy Charter Agreement were concluded last year, the Commission proudly stated: the new text fully complies with environmental sustainability requirements. And now the Commission wants to shut it all down. The consequence of this will be that for 20 years the terms of the old agreement will remain in forc…
