The press chief reminded:
VIKTOR ORBÁN SPOKE IN DETAIL ON KOSSUTH RADIO LAST FRIDAY ABOUT THE ISSUES ON THE AGENDA OF THE EU SUMMIT. HE SAID THAT IN BRUSSELS, THE SANCTIONS HAVE BEEN "RIPED AWAY", AND THERE ARE NO PRICE REDUCTION PROPOSALS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM, THAT'S WHY NOW THERE IS SANCTIONED INFLATION AND THE COUNTRY IS PAYING A SANCTIONED SURCHARGE FOR ENERGY.
He added: Hungary has been exempted from all negative sanctions on its energy market, but the problem is that, as part of the common European market, the country is still affected by high energy prices.
The final solution to high energy prices would be if the European Union abandoned its sanctions policy, said Viktor Orbán, indicating that there is still a lot to fight for.
