First autumn government meeting was about energy shortage in Hungary
The first cabinet meeting of the autumn has been held, chaired by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, his press chief said on Friday.
“Thanks to the government’s efforts”
The ministers at the meeting reviewed the work of the operative bodies set up to handle the state of emergency situations concerning energy supplies and the drought, Bertalan Havasi said in a statement. They also discussed current fiscal and economic issues, he added.
It was established at the meeting that Europe was facing an energy crisis as a result of EU sanctions against Russia but “thanks to the government’s efforts”, Hungary will not have an energy shortage, there is and there will be sufficient gas, electricity and heating materials, Havasi said.
“The government will make every effort to protect Hungarians from war inflation and protect the utility price caps scheme,” Havasi said.
Is this all really true?
Meanwhile, Hungary is seeing an unprecedented wave of closures due to huge price rises. Read about some of the family businesses, restaurants, cafés, playhouses, wine shops, patisseries that had to close their doors for good in our article here.

Then there’s the EU Commission calling on Hungary (INFR(2016)2047) to comply with the requirements of the Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC).
The Directive requires Member States to ensure that water intended for human consumption is wholesome and clean. According to EU rules, drinking water should be free from micro-organisms and parasites, and from substances that could pose a potential danger to human health. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, ours does not meet the EU norms on boron, fluoride, nitrite and arsenic… Pending since 2016. Let’s not tell the Sheeple!
