Their gas bills so far have been EUR 622-746, from now on, it is going to be EUR 5720. The picture shows that the money should be paid by Friday.

“☀️🔥 Bye Bye Summer! Hello Autumn! 💰❄️ Our gas supplier has unilaterally terminated our contract. Our previous gas bill of 250-300.000 HUF will now be ~2.300.000 HUF! With more than 60 colleagues, we hope for the best! Hang in there everyone, it’s going to be a tough time! 🥺 But we have always been, are and will be with you!”

their Facebook post reads.

G7 has found several other small businesses that have posted on Facebook in recent days and weeks that they can no longer operate due to rising costs. Among them are a sushi shop in Miskolc, a bakery in Isaszeg, a playhouse in Kiskunhalas, a wine shop in Székesfehérvár and a greengrocer in Dabas. Pizza On top of that, a Budapest patisserie that has been operating for 65 years, is forced to close as well.

Numerous places are forced to close for good

Although there are no official figures yet, Facebook, which is also used by many companies as their primary marketing tool and communication channel, already features dozens of posts from Hungarian businesses announcing their final closure. The businesses are typically small, family-owned businesses. Pizzerias, libraries, playhouses, restaurants, convenience stores, wine shops and cafés close their doors for good in this new Hungarian reality.

Businesses and municipalities are no longer covered by the cuts at all, and the public is also only partially covered. Consumers have just received their first bills, many of them with incomprehensibly high amounts, 444.hu writes.

  1. NOTHING – is GOING to get CHEAPER in Hungary.
    HAVE not MILLIONS of US – braced ourselves – prepared OURSELVES – had ENOUGH factual WARNING – over post February 2020 – whether we voted Fidesz – Victor Orban or NOT ???
    The propaganda machine of Fidesz, this present Government – about to be “CRANKED” up again.
    WATCH – very Carefully.

    the BURDEN is Removed.”
    The “Yoke” of Hungary – think DEEPLY about it.

  2. Facebook worked with the US goverment to get Biden elected- there would no be a war if trump was in office. Day one of this regime ended the exporting of gas exploration and export that it had plenty for Europe. Biden and his family were very much involved in the corruption in Ukraine When he was Vice President for 8 years. The best selling book Laptop from Hell does not seem to be readily available in bookstores here and it has been one of the top sellers for over a year. The swamp in the US goverment even though trump was president we’re responsible – little news about the EU involvement along with the US in Ukraine – one ended in trumps impeachment for even mentioning it in 3 minutes of a phone call to Z. The US embassy was very much a part of the corruption and the disaster that has come to be.
