"Mr President, Mr Orbán, I am addressing you primarily in my function as a member of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs.
Progress has been made on various matters, particularly with respect to the Roma, but, unlike the previous Presidency, which made a decent amount of progress on social affairs concerning the homeless, the minimum wage and the fight against child poverty, your Presidency is coming to an end without having dealt much with social affairs.
You did, however, mention the priorities of growth, employment and protection of the European social model. Unfortunately, we will not come away from this term with the sense that you defended the model during the negotiations on economic governance or the budgetary debates, or in the context of recommendations made to Member States.
You subscribed to and participated in the dominant idea on the right which says that the only method of relaunching the economy is to cut budgets, and social spending in particular. One striking example is the internal decision you made to close the Pikler Institute, which, starting in Hungary, developed an internationally recognised pedagogical method, and which has participated in the fight against child poverty.
On a social level, it is undeniable that some of your positions have been in conflict with your commitments."@en1
