Change language:
Gergely Gulyás and Alexandra Szentkirályi held this week’s government info at an unusual time, today at 11 am. Therefore, some Hungarian media outlets thought there would be some extraordinary announcements, and they were right. Below you can read the details!
According to portfolio.hu, Gergely Gulyás, the prime minister’s chief of staff, announced the following government decisions:
- Only privately-owned cars, taxis and farm machinery, tractors can purchase fuel for the capped price (480 HUF per litre = 1.19 EUR per litre). The decree on the government decision will be published on Saturday, Gulyás said. Therefore, it will be in effect from noon!
- Whether a vehicle is eligible for the capped fuel price will be determined based on the barcode on its registration licence, he said.
- The CEO of the MOL said that they had to stop production in their refinery in Százhalombatta, which covers 100 percent of Hungary’s fuel needs, due to urgent maintenance works. Therefore, the government releases 1/4th of the country’s strategic reserves to supply domestic demand together with the MOL. The rest of the needs must be covered by import.
- Gas prices are skyrocketing. Therefore, the government wants to find alternatives, for example, they will increase lignite productio. Furthermore, forestry managers have also been ordered to increase production. The government also plans to reopen the recently closed Mátra Power Plant.
- Hungary did not vote for the EU’s gas decrease proposal, but it will comply with it.

We HUNGARY continue to DEFY – go our own way – thinking FOOLISHLY – we can SURVIVE – be LONERS – survive in DOING our THING – our existance and functionality, dismissive of not wanting nor wanting to be – a SUPPORTER/PLAYER – in the European Union Group of Countrys – FRAUGHT – with SERIOUS as we are WITNESSING – growing signs/incication, of the PERILOUS path – WE yes WE – the citizens of Hungary – are ON.
Democracy – is DIALOGUE.
We are GOVERNED in Hungary – under a regime, that is “ALIGNED” – to a Blatant practice/style – that is DICTATORIAL.
Democracy – in the CORE of its ingredients – functionality of DEMOCRACY – there is NO place for a dictatorial run and active Government Agenda.
Hungary – we have it BUILDING – and the “Zenith” of its existance, being signed off & approved by the Hungarian citizens – ASTOUNDING.
