Hungary won’t discuss possibility of gas embargo, government stated
Change language:
Hungary’s government refuses to even discuss the possiblity of introducing a gas embargo against Russia, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Parliament on Monday.
Szijjártó said that in addition to the serious security threat to Europe posed by the war in Ukraine, ensuring energy and economic security also presented a challenge. The question of whether Europe would have a sufficient supply of energy was first raised at the end of last year, “and this was the first time that the main issue wasn’t price” but rather volume, the minister said.
“Unfortunately, we’re again in a similarly difficult situation” because gas deliveries from Russia to Europe have fallen significantly, and the rate at which the price of natural gas is rising “could bring European economies to their knees”, Szijjártó said. Meanwhile, the European Union has failed to steer the conflict towards a resolution, while Europe’s competitiveness has fallen considerably in the recent period, he added.
Concerning gas deliveries to Hungary, he said most of the gas flows would be shifted to the southern delivery route. Hungary imports roughly 30 million cubic metres of gas each day, more than half of which is delivered via the southern route passing through Turkey, Bulgaria and Serbia, Szijjártó said.
Trump is America’s soros And Mr Orbán likes Trump.?????????
What a surprise, Hungary does not wish to freeze the people nor starve them during a cold winter. Anonymous, since you think that you are so smart, figure out how to create peace between Ukraine and Russia. Presently, Germany and other EU countries are trying to figure out how to keep the population warm during the winter.
