Fidesz: EP proposal suicidal, life-threatening
Change language:
The European Parliament’s proposal on the full embargo of Russian fossil fuels is “life-threatening, untenable and flawed”, Fidesz MEP Balázs Hidvéghi told public radio on Sunday.
Fidesz MEPs stayed away from the vote because “this was the latest of many impossible texts we should have given our opinion on”. The proposal welcomes the shipment of tanks and calls for the delivery of fighter jets and long-range missile systems to Ukraine, Hidvéghi said. “Based on the false statement that this is our war,” NATO and the western allies are getting dragged into this war, he added. This approach only leads to escalation, he said.
The proposal also calls on member states to adopt a tenth package of sanctions, which proposes a “full and immediate embargo on all fossil fuels and uranium”. The measure would result in a “dangerous and untenable situation”, he said. Earlier, similar proposals did not bring the end of the war closer, and further steps would be “suicidal and harmful to us, slowly ruining the security and quality of life of Hungarians and Europeans, to the point of collapse,” he said.
Let’s see. The majority of Europe is behind the sanctions. The majority of Europe has less inflation and lowering fuel prices than us. This means that in Hungary, which has repelled every attempt to help Ukraine by punishing Russia, is an outsider, with higher inflation as well as paying Russia a much higher price for natural gas than the rest of the EU. So, is it the sanctions, or just plain bad government here in Hungary? We are only a tiny percentage of people here in the EU, yet we manage to punish our citizens endlessly with misinformation.
@gaborzsazsa except many European countries are getting its fuel and gas from Azerbaijan or Saudi Arabia since their sanctions on Russia. The sanctions are well deserved, but it seems people like to conveniently ignore that fact of the consequences of doing so.
