Change language:
The parliamentary group leader of Orbán’s Fidesz, Máté Kocsis, announced he would give away one of his aquariums because of the energy crisis. He kept his goldfish in it, which he gifted to one of his friends who has a pond in his garden. Meanwhile, István Simicskó, Kocsis’s counterpart in the parliamentary group of Fidesz ally KDNP, highlighted the importance of solar power.
A difficult decision
Fidesz held a two-day-long parliamentary group meeting in Balatonalmádi, followed by a press conference. Máté Kocsis, the parliamentary group leader, told journalists that he would give away one of his aquariums and his goldfish to save energy, index.hu reported.
“I took my fish to one of my friends who has a small pond in his garden. That was a hurting decision for me because I have been keeping fish for 35 years”, Kocsis added. He also highlighted he would continue to switch off the light at home and in the office. István Simicskó, the parliamentary group leader of the Christian Democrats, said he would like to extend the solar panels placed on the roof of his house.
