23/06/2026 | 19:46:41 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) President, Dear Colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteurs for their work and for the constructive dialogue they have maintained with the Serbian authorities throughout the monitoring process. Just a note for ourselves: it's this Assembly's fault that such a report has not been prepared in recent years. Serbia is one of the key country regarding the stability and security of the Western Balkans. We support their European integration... 01/10/2024 | 18:56:11 Thank you very much, Mister President. Dear colleagues, we strongly condemned the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October last year. We recognise Israel's rights to self-defence. And Israel has the right to guarantee the security of its citizens for the long term. Our consistent position since the beginning of this war is based on the following pillars: One, we must ensure that nowhere in the world can there be a terrorist attack as brutal as the one that took place in Israel on 7... 26/06/2024 | 11:18:28 Thank you very much, Mister President. First of all, I think as anyone in this room, Hungary condemns Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. We think that war cannot be a solution to any conflict. In these turbulent times of war, Hungary has shown its solidarity and is supporting Ukraine in various ways. In addition to the significant humanitarian aid response such as relief, rehabilitation, and development operations provided in Ukraine, including helping internally displaced persons... 16/04/2024 | 16:03:09 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleges, due to the Russian aggression and the ongoing war, we are facing an extremely worrying humanitarian situation in Ukraine, reacting to which Hungary has launched one of its largest humanitarian relief, rehabilitation and development operations providing Ukraine, including refugees as well as internally displaced persons, with much needed assistance. We are receiving thousands of refugees from Ukraine on a daily basis, even today. So far Hungary took... 15/04/2024 | 16:50:37 Thank you, Chair, Mister Deputy Prime Minister, Moldova has been a valued member of this organisation for almost three decades. Earlier, the President of Moldova reiterated that the primary foreign policy goal of the country is Moldova's accession to the EU. We support Moldova's European integration aspirations and the opening of EU accession negotiation as soon as it is possible. We believe that the performance of candidate countries should be assessed on their own merits on a case-by-case... 11/10/2023 | 17:40:56 Thank you, madam chair, thank you colleagues. Dear ladies and gentleman, I would like to thank Mr Pablo HISPÁN for his words. I totally agree with him. In a different aspect, in the Report of Mr Pieter OMTZIGT, Hungary, along with several other countries, like Poland and Spain, has been accused of the Pegasus surveillance spyware being illegally deployed for political purposes to spy on journalist, opposition politicians, lawyers, prosecutors, and civil society actors. The Report states that... 12/10/2022 | 17:39:10 Dear Colleagues, Dear Rapporteurs, We can see that this is a fabricated, left-motivated pre-written verdict. This is a politically-motivated attack against Hungary and the Hungarian people. You, on the left side continuously blame the Hungarian people because of their choices, because how they vote, because they trust and choose the Fidesz and Christian Democratic government for the fourth consecutive times with a two-thirds majority in free and fair elections. Please stop blaming the... 26/04/2022 | 18:30:28 Thank you for your work on this important issue. I would like to emphasise the importance of national minorities, and how they shouldn't be discriminated. The Constitution of Hungary declares that national and ethnic minorities shall have their share of the power of the people: they shall be constituent factors of the state. Accordingly, Hungary has maintained its policy of supporting national minorities based on a solid legislative framework. However, the issue of national minorities is not... 28/09/2021 | 12:17:40 Thank you, Chair. Thank you for the floor. There are many challenges in the social and employment field, and several are highlighted in the report under discussion today. We can say that many of these challenges are not unique to one member state – they affect each and every one of us but in a different manner. As a result, from a Hungarian perspective, I would like to emphasise that the safeguarding of national competencies should be the starting point of the discussions when it comes to the... 01/10/2019 | 10:46:44 Thank you very much, Madam President. We welcome the increased focus on whistle-blowers and their protection; they play an important role in defending human rights and raising awareness of issues of public interest. While we agree that whistle-blowers who act in good faith should be protected, we must also pay attention to those who take risks in order to defend rights of national minorities. We have witnessed violations of minority rights in some of Hungary's neighbouring countries, and...
