30/09/2025 | 19:01:55 Thank you, Mister President, ladies and gentlemen, You know, we are no longer surprised that there is a new Monitoring Committee attack against Hungary. The parliamentary elections are approaching, and I am going to work in my constituency so that I can win and we can work for Hungarian interests. Our country is increasingly affected by unscrupulous attacks. Their aim is clear: to install a puppet government controlled from Brussels. However, the accusations regularly made are slanderous. In... 24/06/2025 | 16:35:03 Thank you, Mr Chairman. Dear colleagues, for us in Hungary, the most pressing issue linked to the Russian-Ukrainian war is the situation of the 150 000-strong Hungarian community of Transcarpathia in western Ukraine. It is with sadness that we have witnessed the violation of the rights of our fellow citizens, as an autochthonous national minority, in recent years. In January 2024, Hungary formulated, in 11 points, its clear expectations regarding the restrictive measures affecting the... 30/01/2025 | 16:17:43 Thank you, Madam Chair. Dear colleagues, Although the number of male owners and managers remains higher in the majority of Hungarian companies, the number of successful companies run by women is also significant. Currently, around 247 000 women owners and 162 000 authorised signatories contribute to the running of Hungarian trading companies. These figures are encouraging, but still far from ideal. In Hungary, many programmes have long been in place, and several new ones have been launched to... 29/01/2025 | 18:46:57 Thank you, Mister Chairman. Dear colleagues, Hungary believes that it is totally wrong to solve the problem of an ageing population through immigration. The Hungarian government's strategic objective remains unchanged. We want to tackle Europe's demographic decline not through immigration, but by relying on our own internal resources and further strengthening Hungary's family support system. We are striving to remove the obstacles to starting a family and accessing housing, enabling young... 01/10/2024 | 12:26:19 Thank you, Mister Chairman and Mister Secretary General. First of all, I'd like to congratulate you here in the hemicycle of the Council of Europe. It's a great honour to see you here at the Council of Europe and, at the same time, to speak on behalf of the European Conservatives Group and Democratic Alliance. We wish you every success and good work in the years ahead. Support for Ukraine has been at the forefront of the Council of Europe's objectives for over two years. Unfortunately, war is... 11/10/2022 | 18:27:37 Thank you, Madam President. Dear Colleagues, Hungary is a welcoming nation. This is proven by the fact that we Hungarians were the first in history to announce the law on freedom of conscience and religious tolerance in 1568 at the Diet of Torda in Transylvania. The legal recognition of Islam in the Hungarian Parliament took place more than 100 years ago, in 1916. In our country, we register 32 religious communities as established churches. Among them, two Islamic communities also enjoy such... 25/01/2022 | 09:55:31 Thank you Mr President. Dear colleagues, We certainly all agree that hatred against any human being is unacceptable. It should be emphasised that the legal framework of protection against discrimination in Hungary is comprehensive and in line with European legislation and international requirements. The Fundamental Law of Hungary prohibits all forms of discrimination, including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Regarding the Hungarian Child Protection Act, we reject any... 22/06/2021 | 11:43:30 Thank you, Mr President. Dear president, dear colleagues, Although a certificate can help to lift restrictions, the real solution to the pandemic is mass vaccination, so the main objective of the other member sºtates should also be to step up the vaccination campaign. The experience of the last one and a half years shows that it is the governments of the member states that can provide quick and effective solutions to the problems associated with the pandemic. For example, at present... 21/04/2021 | 18:56:19 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, The progress and achievements of Montenegro in the last fifteen years on the road to European political integration are remarkable. We wish for the possibility of progress and successful maintenance of a functioning democratic political process. The reassuring demonstration of a democratic political process and fully functioning institutions through free and fair elections and an unimpeded political transition should continue in all current and future... 26/01/2021 | 09:38:10 Thank you, Mister Speaker. The implementation of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights is largely hampered by the complexity of the issues raised by the Court and faced by several Council of Europe Member States. The Hungarian Government actively cooperates with the Council of Europe in order to find solutions in these cases. One of the problems is the excessive length of judicial and related proceedings. The drafting of legislation establishing an effective domestic remedy for...
