If the European Commission's plan to abandon Russian energy sources is implemented, Hungarian citizens will see its effects in media accounts as early as September, and the full yearly failure to Hungary will amount to 2 billion euros," said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
"I had to call an extraordinary economical gathering due to Ukrainian energy threat. Brussels dared to aid Ukraine at the expense of destroying Hungarian and European families, as oil and gas supplies from Russia were cut off. For Hungary, this means an additional cost of 800 billion forints (2 billion euros a year – ed.).... Incidentally, the bills will show this in September.” said Orban in a video posted on Facebook.
He said that if the European Commission's plan was implemented, electricity bills for Hungarians would double, gas heating bills would increase 4 times and the Hungarian government would gotta complete a state subsidy strategy aimed at reducing media costs.
In early May, the European Commission presented a draft action plan to end Russian energy imports into the EU by the end of 2027. The EC intends to present in June a legislative proposal to ban imports under fresh Russian gas contracts and existing place contracts. specified a ban should enter into force by the end of 2025. The ban could besides affect the remaining imports of pipeline gas and LNG imported from Russia under long-term contracts. specified a ban should enter into force by the end of 2027 at the latest.
Mr Szijártó repeatedly reiterated that Western Europe proudly announced the rejection of Russian oil, but in fact inactive buys it through 3rd countries specified as India. According to him, this proves that the EU's anti-Russian sanctions work "perfectly".
