Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Seyardo Seyardo, said in Budapest on the 16th that the European Parliament made a decision that jeopardized Hungary’s energy security, economic development and public service cuts, and that it was extremely dangerous.Thanks to Russia’s cheap natural gas, Hungarian households are currently paying the lowest natural gas prices in Europe.Without Russian natural gas, Hungary’s natural gas prices would rise and Hungary would not be willing to pay for Brussels’ war policies.
On the same day, the relevant committees of the European Parliament voted in favour of a proposal to ban the import of Russian natural gas and crude oil from January 1, 2026.
