Senior government officials and Hungarian energy industry leaders met on Thursday at the prime minister’s office to discuss the country’s energy security in light of the latest EU sanctions package which includes phasing out Russian crude oil imports.

The meeting was attended by the prime minister, his chief of staff and cabinet head, the finance and the innovation and technology ministers, the PM’s state secretary for EU affairs and the head of the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as well as the CEOs of state oil and gas company MOL and energy group MVM, and the head of the Hungarian energy sector authority, among others.

After the European Commission released its latest package of sanctions against Russia, representatives of the Hungarian government underlined Hungary’s objection to further sanctions in their current form as they would threaten the country’s energy security and economy. Details: Hungary does not support the latest EC sanctions against Russia in this form

    Turns out we are almost totally dependent on Russian gas, oil and nuclear energy support. How’s that for Smart Leadership? Master Strategists? Great Enterpreneurship? No Plan B – no nothing. Utter insanity. Russia or bust! Again the Million Dollar Question: WHY

    @Aron: (y) – Thumbs up!

    12 L – O – N – G years of an Orban gov’t and no planning ahead.
    Putting all of one’s eggs in ONE basket.
    STUBBORNNESS.
    “My way, or the highway” attitude by the Pm. ….You name it. 🙁

    Where’s the story?
    They “met”, XYZ met and end of story.

    Regarding the build of Paks 2 going ahead: Seems like Pm Orban has already forgotten about Chernobyl. Back then, even the KGB knew that it was very unsafe, and STRESSED that it was very unsafe, but that info never reached Gorbachev, and it was finished regardless.
    Just imagine, no, just look at the images of Putin meeting with his underlings, can anyone imagine them informing Putin of anything bad, they’re scared witless.

    The current situation as of this morning 6 May seems to be the following:
    “EU to allow Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic longer to implement oil ban – reports
    Reuters is claiming that two sources have told it the European Commission has amended a proposal for an embargo on Russian oil to extend the period before it takes effect for Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

    Under the tweaked proposal, Hungary and Slovakia will continue to be able to buy Russian oil from pipelines until the end of 2024, whereas the Czech Republic could continue until June 2024, provided that it does not get oil via a pipeline from southern Europe earlier, the sources said.”guardian.com

    Reuters is a reliable source.
