The Hungarian government accepted the initiative: a national consultation is coming
On Wednesday morning, Viktor Orbán’s Facebook page revealed that the government was having a meeting. Most of the decisions will be announced at the government briefing, which starts tomorrow at 11.30 AM. However, the prime minister has already announced one on his social media page.
“The government has been in session since this morning, and we are focusing on energy prices. Energy sanctions were imposed by Brussels on member states and since then, energy prices have been sky high,” he began his announcement.
He said that when this happened, Brussels promised that sanctions would end the war in Ukraine and would hurt the aggressor more than the EU member states. Instead, Orbán said, today all European countries pay a sanctions surcharge for energy.
“At its meeting today, the government adopted the Fidesz Group’s initiative to launch a national consultation on the sanction. I ask everyone to give their opinion, because only through joint action can we put an end to rising energy prices,” he said in the video.

“National consultations are nonbinding questionnaires sent to voters on issues that divide citizens. They usually include a series of multiple-choice questions and often include misleading statements or provide one-sided or extreme answer options.
Orban introduced the concept of national consultations earlier in his premiership as a way to fight EU polices he disagrees with. Previous consultations have been held about migration, terrorism, and the constitution”.
An extract from outside media, obviously!
Justification for a veto of further EU sanctions, no doubt. Proving our commitment to Mr. Putin and the Russian cause!
While we are at it – perhaps the Politicians would like to add a line, asking whether Ukraine should cede territory for the common good?
Two excellent comments.
“Ukraine should cede territory for the common good”, in my mind, I immediately added “for Putin’s common good”. …I could take that (thought) even further, but I’ll let it rest.
Letter from the Government.
“Fellow Citizens, we have “ticked” – to Impel you – in agreeing with us – your Government, the enclosed document – titled -under the various categories it covers – that is “veiled” as being a National Questionnaire.
Fellow Citizens – we DICTATE to you, sign or whatever the bottom line and return it.
NO questions will be AGAIN – as you know – taken in regards to this Edict / Command by your Government.”
Is this AGAIN – the PROPAGANDA game, to be played out by the present Government of Hungary under Prime Minister – Victor Orban ?
GROWING are desperate measures being instructed demanded of us as citizens, under this dictatorial government, through their continual in-ability to control & handle, forget STABILIZE, the “collapsing” position, as a country that we in Hungary are experiencing and living in.
Citizens – we have to be EXTREMELY careful – diligent in what – this GOVERNMENT, with the cataclysmic mess of problems, it has on its desk, are asking or DEMANDING – we sign put our names to.
Is the Hungarian Government, the growing continuation of DRASTIC measures it has taken, still with “tricks” in its Box, that will HEAVILY impact on the lives of millions of Hungarians – is it – as GROWING in opinion in-side Hungary and outside our lands – are we witnessing a Government that is IMPLODING ???
