Nivi In Europe

Magyar Péter delivered a speech focused on Hungary’s access to European Union funds, government reforms, and institutional changes. He announced that Hungary would gain access to around €16 billion in previously frozen or restricted EU funding, including resources for infrastructure, higher education, research, innovation, transport, environmental projects, and economic development. He described the agreement as a major achievement and argued that these funds rightfully belong to the Hungarian people.

A central theme of the speech was criticism of the previous Orbán government. Magyar claimed that years of conflict with the European Union and alleged corruption had delayed access to these resources, harming Hungary’s economic development and public services. He argued that the dispute with Brussels was not about migration, Ukraine, or ideological issues, but primarily about transparency, rule of law concerns, and the management of public funds.

Magyar outlined several anti-corruption commitments made by his government, including stricter asset declaration rules for politicians, expanded powers for oversight institutions, stronger penalties for false declarations, and Hungary’s application to join the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. He said these measures were necessary to restore trust and ensure transparent use of public money.

The speech also detailed plans for using EU funds to modernize railways and public transportation, improve energy infrastructure, support universities and research programs, expand housing projects, and provide assistance to small and medium-sized businesses. He argued that these investments would strengthen Hungary’s competitiveness and improve living standards.

In the second half of the speech, Magyar criticized President Sulyok Tamás, accusing him of failing to fulfill his constitutional role as a guardian of democratic institutions and national unity. He announced that the government would pursue constitutional and legal reforms aimed at restoring public confidence in state institutions.

Magyar concluded by emphasizing cooperation with the Hungarian National Bank, strengthening Hungary’s relations with European partners, and pursuing what he described as a more transparent, democratic, and economically successful future for Hungary.

Peter Magyar delivered a strongly critical speech focused on Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok, arguing that the presidency has failed in its constitutional role of safeguarding democracy, national unity, and citizens' rights. He emphasized that the Hungarian Republic belongs to its citizens rather than any individual, party, or political system, and stated that public institutions must be able to stand up to government power when necessary.

Magyar said he had met with President Sulyok to discuss what he described as the president’s responsibility for remaining silent on a series of controversial issues during the previous government’s tenure. He accused Sulyok of failing to speak out when political opponents, journalists, judges, civil society organizations, artists, and ordinary citizens were allegedly targeted, intimidated, or stigmatized. He also criticized the president for not responding to restrictions on freedom of assembly, surveillance of opposition figures, attacks on political volunteers, and rhetoric that portrayed critics as enemies of the nation.

The speech also highlighted issues affecting ethnic Hungarian communities outside Hungary. Magyar criticized Sulyok for allegedly remaining silent regarding actions by neighboring governments that he claimed harmed Hungarian minorities, as well as for not objecting to former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán supporting Romanian politician George Simion, whom Magyar described as anti-Hungarian.

Magyar argued that the office of the presidency is more important than any individual officeholder and said the institution’s credibility must be restored. He announced that if Sulyok refused to resign voluntarily, his government and parliamentary majority would begin legal and constitutional procedures to remove him. He stated that this would not be a personalized attack but part of a broader effort to restore democratic institutions and the rule of law.

During the question-and-answer session, Magyar said constitutional amendments could be introduced within about a month, denied that such changes would jeopardize access to European Union funds, and suggested that future reforms might give citizens a greater role in selecting Hungary’s president. He concluded by outlining upcoming meetings with the governor of the central bank and senior European leaders in Berlin and Paris.
