Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

Magyarország Európát választotta.

Európa mindig Magyarországot választotta.

Egy ország visszatér az európai útjára.

Az Unió erősebbé válik.

If yes, it means your government joined in the nomination of Iran to a UN committee dealing with women's rights and terrorism prevention.

Your MP should formally ask the government to answer why they did such a terrible thing.

This is not just a victory for the people of Hungary, but for all those around the world who believe in international cooperation, democracy and the rule of law 🇭🇺

[Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) @magyarpeterMP]

Köszönjük Magyarország!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and the TISZA party on their resounding victory. It is important when constructive approach prevails.

Ukraine has always sought good-neighbourly relations with everyone in Europe and we are ready to advance our cooperation with Hungary.

Europe and every European nation must get stronger, and millions of Europeans seek cooperation and stability.

We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as peace, security, and stability in Europe.

UN Watch's Hillel Neuer just took the floor at the United Nations human rights council, under their permanent agenda item targeting Israel at every session:

“Mr. Chair, we meet today under the council’s only agenda item targeting a specific country – Israel.

No other country in the world — not even the dictatorships nor the state sponsors of terror that just took the floor — has its own agenda item. Only Israel.

And as we just heard, they do not speak of peace. They come only to scapegoat and demonize the Jewish state.

That is why, when this item was created, even the UN Secretary-General denounced it.

On June 20, 2007, Ban Ki-moon said he was “disappointed” at the Council’s decision to single out Israel — given, as he put it, the “range and scope” of human rights violations throughout the world. https://t.co/8MHH45u5eF

Indeed: if this Council truly cares about universal rights, why is there no agenda item on China, which denies basic human rights to 1.5 billion of its own people?

Why no item on the Islamic Republic in Iran, which beats women for showing their hair?

Why none on Syria, where half a million were slaughtered?

Why none on North Korea, which runs political prison camps, and starves its people?

Why none on Russia, which poisons dissidents, and bombs innocents in Ukraine?

Why none on the Cuban police state, which holds a thousand political prisoners?”

⭕️ CUBA interrupts on point of order: “It is not admissible to hear such conduct or disrespectful language from any of the participating speakers which hinders the functioning of this council. The speaker must adhere to language which corresponds to the item under discussion.”

🇺🇳 CHAIR gives the floor back to UN Watch, but adds, “It is my duty to call on everyone to adhere to language that is commensurate with the dignity inherent with the discussion on human rights issues.”

Hillel Neuer: “Mr. Chair, we heard Cuba, but if the UN Secretary-General could invoke abuses worldwide to criticize this agenda item, surely I may do the same.”

“This agenda item does not advance peace. The UN was founded on universal standards. Yet when applied so selectively, turned into weapons of discrimination against one people, they cease to become standards at all.”

The Church of England’s General Synod today passed a motion by 238-7 votes, requesting 'His Majesty’s Government work to improve funding and access to desperately needed palliative care services instead of enacting a law that puts the most vulnerable at risk.’ #AssistedDyingBill
