Oil embargo: Brussels to compensate Hungary for its losses?
Change language:
Hungary’s government insists that the Hungarian people must not be made to pay the price of the war in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Sunday.
Speaking to public broadcaster Kossuth Rádió, Szijjártó said Hungarians were in no way to blame for the outbreak of the war. Therefore if the European Commission intends to impose an oil embargo, it must financially and physically guarantee that the decision to phase out Russian oil imports will not hurt the Hungarian people or Hungary’s energy security, he said.
If the commission approved a proposal on an oil embargo right now, Hungary could not obtain the crude oil needed for its economy to function,
the minister said.
Whether there will be an agreement on the matter is up to the EC at this point, Szijjártó said, adding that the Hungarian government’s position was clear. He said Brussels had yet to put forward a proposal that would compensate Hungary for the estimated 55-60 percent increase in fuel prices that an oil embargo would cause.

Szijjártó said it was easy to calculate the effects an oil embargo would have on Hungary. The government would only agree to such a proposal “if the European Commission offers a solution to the problems they created”, he added.
This war is about liberal leftist degenerates against Putin who is the only one who has te balls to confront them. I wish other right wingers had the same balls to stand against USA and Brussels. Deep inside, Hungarian government knows this and they want Putin to win this war because if Putin falls, the degenerates will destroy Orban and any other who dares to think differently. Thankfuly, if Putin has to fall, the nuclear bombs will end everything in planet earth so the western leftists degenerates will be radioactive ashes after all.
EU, especially Belgium, cannot be trusted. Hungary must honor its agreement with Russian oil/gas companies.
