Government to access EU recovery money soon?

Change language:

Hungary’s government is under pressure to let prices rise, the prime minister’s chief of staff, Gergely Gulyás said on today’s government info. He added that the government would continue to review the feasibility of prolonging the price caps as long as it could and as long as the country’s oil and gas supplies were secure.

In the current situation, the government has to prioritise the protection of families over market logic, Gulyás said.

He said it was western

European, US and Arab oil companies that were profiting off of the soaring prices in western Europe.

They are the real winners of the war because while the costs of oil extraction have not changed, prices have skyrocketed, Gulyas argued.

  1. Dear DNH, try quoting from a reliable source such as Reuters and provide a balanced view. Read this – from a respectable news portal.

    “The issues raised in the letter are all issues that we have been negotiating about for months with the Commission,” Gulyas said. “There is no point where we don’t have a shared position, or where we wouldn’t have found an acceptable solution.”

    The EU executive disagreed.’

    • Dear Forest Gump, thanks for the suggestion, we will consider it in the future. We receive the news from MTI (Hungarian Telegraphic Office) which is a reliable source.

  2. MTI is not what is considered ‘independent’ nor is it considered unbiased. It is very selective in what news it chooses to use and how it is presented. Propaganda, in other words.

  3. The “Ray of Hope” – the Chief of Staff of the Prime Ministers Office – Gergeley Gulyas “talks the talk” – AGAIN, is again “Veiled” – in Factuality.
    What is FACT occuring in the Economic & Financial position of Hungary, is an Economy, that ALL the Major componentry used to analysis – the performance of a countrys Economy – it’s Economic & Financial outlook – present, short & immediate then long term, that the Economy of Hungary, continues in a STRONG downward TREND.

    Gergeley Gulyas – is a formulaic Fidesz Party member – that in answers he gives, especially relating to the Economic & Financial position of Hungary – always – take a set form of words, that are “veiled” and do not represent, the REAL position, that the Economy of Hungary – finds it-self Strongly CHALLENGED and trending downwards into a Worsening position.
