Two days after the introduction of the Brussels sanctions, the government can no longer ensure the 480 HUF gas price for Hungarian families, therefore the gas price freeze must be removed, Prime Minister Gergely Gulyás announced at a late-night press conference.
MOL informed the energy minister yesterday that it cannot solve the country's fuel supply without fuel imports. The result of the Brussels sanctions is that we can no longer provide Hungarian families with the HUF 480 gas price at the country's gas stations. Therefore, two days after the entry into force of the petroleum sanctions, the government accepted MOL's proposal and abolished the gasoline price cap.
Gergely Gulyás said: the sanctions imposed by Brussels on Russian oil caused serious disturbances in the fuel supply.
"The problem is that the whole situation developed because the price of gasoline skyrocketed because the European Union reacted in this way to Russian aggression.
Undoubtedly, the rise in gas prices and the rise in electricity prices started earlier, as well as the rise in gasoline prices and diesel prices, the fact that this has become so permanent and so dramatically high is clearly due to the Russian aggression and the sanctions responses to it," Gulyás said . Gregory.
Zsolt Hernádi, the president and CEO of Mol, said that a quarter of their filling stations were completely empty in the past few days, something like this had never happened since the company's existence. He added: The Mol has endured so far
"Demand skyrocketed, consumers stocked up, a kind of panic started. Dear ladies and gentlemen!
MOL has endured so far. We couldn't do anything else, in order to be able to provide care in the country, we had to inform the government that we can no longer provide care, everything will remain the same"
Hernádi stated.
The decree went into effect late Tuesday night, after that
at MOL wells, gasoline 95 costs HUF 641 and diesel HUF 699 per liter.
