«We will not encourage the Hungarian people to pay the price of the war. Energy sanctions will hurt Europe more than Russia, so their strengthening will be contrary to common sense».
On the end of August the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Peter Szijjarto, said the Hungary doesn’t even want to discuss energy sanctions, which is about 85 per cent dependent on Russian gas, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
These comments followed a meeting with the Estonian homologue, Urmas Reinsalu, during which Hungary reinstated its position and opposed a strengthened package of sanctions that Estonia was initiating. Minister Szijjarto pointed out that it isn’t possible to provide Hungary with oil and natural gas without Russian energy sources.
In the latest days the country of prime minister Victor Orban which already stopped the European sanctions against Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, confirmed its position and signed new important deals on energy with Russia.
At a meeting on August 31 in Prague, EU top diplomats failed to reach an agreement on restricting visas to Russian citizens. So far, the EU has only decided to halt the visa-easing arrangement with Russia. Even so, because the meeting was informal, this decision is solely political in nature, Izvestia writes.
Further, despite Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, EU member Hungary maintains relations with Moscow and opposes sanctions on Russian oil and gas. “At a time, when the EU is filling storage facilities, ‘vacuuming up’ the LNG market in preparation of a gas shortage, Hungary is the only country that will get greater volumes of gas, moreover, via the safe channel – TurkStream,” Maria Belova from Vygon Consulting noted.

Hungary looks out for its own citizens, therefore, it is a horrible place and a danger to the democracy you see with the EU.
Sound familiar?
The WEF is all on the same page, attacking political opponents the same way, ensuring that we are all viewed as dangers to democracy.
I have no problems with this. No one wants to freeze to death. Not to mention the impact on their own economy for a circus they have no interest in. The US could learn something from this...
Isn’t Hungary the country that would NOT take in the Syrian refugees too?
Sounds like Hungary might be the only European country not trying to kill itself. Maybe a good place to visit.
Tucker Carlson spent a week in Hungary, was with Orban some of the time and has a documentary on Fox Nation. They do many things very well, and are openly Christian.
Hungary is a beautiful country to visit! And staunchly anti-communist! God Bless Orban!
Bets on when the Soros/CIA color-revolution against Orban starts?
I lived in Budapest twice and learned the language. The Hungarians - after struggling under the yoke of communism for 2 generations - are not about to surrender their hard won national sovereignty. In 40 years, Hungary will still be Hungarian. Can you say the same for Germany? Italy? France? etc.
Too bad he can’t run for office here.
