Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 18 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
18 a. Condemns the fact that in December 2022 the Commission decided to exclude the Hungarian universities from the Horizon Europe programme, which is inexplicable and devastating because Hungarian students and researchers suffer a competitive disadvantage compared to others; highlights, in this regard, the fact that the use and accountability of Union funds has been transparent for decades at Hungarian universities; regrets the fact that Hungarian universities have suffered enormous loss both in reputation and financially due to the inability to contract for tenders already won or submitted; calls on the Commission to immediately withdraw its discriminative decision;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 18 b (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
18 b. Insists on the urgent need to refocus European research programmes on the objectives of economic competitiveness, strategic autonomy and cutting-edge innovation, which requires the immediate discontinuation of programmes that contribute neither to technological sovereignty nor to scientific leadership, divert resources from technological progress and undermine the credibility of research in Europe, such as: ‘Fostering Queer Feminist Intersectional Resistances against Transnational Anti-Gender Politics’ (EUR 2,38 million), Tracing Queer Citizenship over Time: Ageing, ageism and age-related LGBTI+ politics in Europe (EUR 2 million), Rethinking Queer Kinship: LGBTIQ* Families with children in Central and Eastern Europe (EUR 2,5 million), ‘YOUth Debunking the gendered Arguments of far-Right Extremism’ (EUR 2,9 million), ‘White Islam: A New Religion for Europeans’ (EUR 271 052), ‘Eco-Islam in Indonesia: Media, Institutions, Publics’ (EUR 2 million), and ‘Superstition, Material Religion and Hıdrellez in Turkey’ (EUR 254 330);

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 27 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
27 a. Highlights the fact that the Hungarian Government conducted a series of negotiations with the Commission in order for Hungary to be able to access the cohesion funds to which it is rightfully entitled; notes that, as a result of the dialogue, Hungary undertook to fulfil a package of measures; condemns the fact that the Commission has subjected the transfer of development funds to Hungary to ever stricter conditions; demands that the Hungarian cohesion envelope be protected from the risk of being redirected to other policies or to other countries and demands that the Commission disburse the financial resources immediately; expects the new Commission to review the application of the rule of law conditionality and to stop the politically selected ideological blackmailing of Member States;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 32 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
32 a. Condemns the fact that in December 2022 the Commission decided to exclude Hungarian universities, students, teachers and researchers from the Erasmus+ programme; highlights the fact that reinforcing mobility opportunities is a clear policy priority in order to solidify Europe’s long-term competitiveness and, in accordance with Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, to contribute to the Union's action in the field of education by encouraging the mobility of students and teachers and by promoting cooperation between educational institutions; regrets the fact that the realisation of this goal is obviously opposed by Union decisions that exclude the vast majority of students from a Member State from mobility; calls on the Union institutions to immediately withdraw this discriminative decision;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 35 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
35 a. Condemns in the strongest terms the instrumentalisation of rule of law conditionality for politically motivated ideological assaults on Member States; emphasises that in these assaults, the Commission has demonstrably utilised and financed NGOs and left-leaning media outlets through Union funds; demands consequently an immediate cessation of Union funds financing these attacks against national sovereignty, which are perpetrated through the misuse of the rule of law conditionality;

Paragraph 49 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
49 a. Notes with concern recent revelations in the ‘green lobby scandal’ on the use of Union funds by the Commission to interfere with the Union legislative branch in seeking support for the European Green Deal; calls, in this regard, for a thorough investigation of the case, and for the recovery of all the taxpayers’ money that was unduly spent;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 54 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
54 a. Recognises that some Members States have already spent billions of euro on protecting the Union's external borders, which, in the case of Hungary, amounts to EUR 2 billion, requests these costs to be compensated; regrets that while Hungary protects the Union's external border against illegal migration, the European Court of Justice imposed a fine on the country for not letting migrants enter Hungary before a final decision is made on their application;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 68 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
68 a. Recalls the fact that the Commission cannot be trusted with the allocation of substantial Union budgetary funds to unaccountable civil society organisations, since there is justified concern that opaque backroom deals and hidden agendas may influence decision-makers responsible for selecting and financing these organisations; condemns the fact that numerous organisations receiving Union funding have been criticised for advancing one-sided narratives under the guise of civil society representation;
