New survey: Brussels oil embargo plan unpopular among public

Three-quarters of respondents would not support Hungary shutting off crude oil and natural gas deliveries from Russia under pressure from the US and the EU, while 21 percent would not oppose the measure, according to a fresh survey by the Századvég Foundation.

The foundation canvassed the views off 1,000 people in May regarding the economic consequences of the sanctions imposed on Russia in response to the war in Ukraine.

Rejection of the proposed phased embargo on Russian energy resources traversed “traditional party lines”, the survey said.

A majority (51 percent) of the sympathisers of the opposition alliance, 58 percent of the opposition Two-Tailed Dog party, and 91 percent of the radical Mi Hazánk (Our Homeland) party opposed Hungary banning oil and gas deliveries from Russia.

“On the issue of the oil embargo, the ruling parties represent the opinion of the majority of opposition voters,” SzázadvĂ©g said.

Fully 89 percent of respondents said sanctions against Russia harmed the EU and its economy.

Some 10 percent said the sanctions had no meaningful impact on the European economy, Századvég said.

    Why focus on Hungary? Almost a dozen other EU members (including German and, yes, even the US) are buying energy from Russia, and pay far more than Hungary does.
