Hungary is defending the interests of the people against Brussels, which wants to impose an oil embargo by force
Oil is the gold of the 20th century, the foundation of our society today
An XX. The gold of the 20th century is oil, but our mass societies are still built on mobility and now run on fossil energy. Much of the transportation and transportation is based on oil. Our mass society runs on fossil fuels and we need oil to run it. In fact, Hungary is solving this need by processing Russian pipeline oil. In Hungarian, if we want to run our mass society: transport, transportation, and agriculture, we are referring to Russian crude oil. – said Zoltán Kiszelly, director of the Center for Political Analysis of the End of the Century Foundation.
For us, this is the starting point, as we do not have a sea and the Adriatic pipeline is very outdated, with a small capacity, so the operation of the Hungarian economy depends on Russian pipeline oil.he stressed.
There is an energy inflation in Europe, so if energy prices rose even higher, inflation would rise even higher.he added.
Zoltán Kiszelly emphasized that the government can slow down inflation with a petrol stop and a food stop, so Hungarian inflation remained around the average, while, say, the Netherlands or the Baltic states, which use the euro, are much higher, showing double-digit inflation. That is why it is so important that energy imports are maintained.
There is no alternative
In March, previous leaders at their March meeting in Versailles agreed on a 5-year transition period, that is, until 2027. Within this, Russia’s separation from fossil energy needs to be addressed, and as there is currently no alternative in Hungary, either in terms of oil or natural gas, Hungary does not support the six-month separation proposed by Brussels. – said the director of the Center for Political Analysis of the End of the Century Foundation, who asked the Origo question
He added that Brussels policy was a hypocritical thing because the November deadline was because the US Treasury Secretary had asked for oil purchases to remain in place until the interim elections, because the American Democrats do not want the embargo to raise the price of oil in America by more than two dollars a liter because it threatens the Democratic election role.
The oil embargo does not seem to be measured by the needs of European economies, but by the participation of American Democrats in elections. These are political games to pay Europeans for the success of the American Democrats. This is also why the embargo needs to be rethought, but also because there is simply no economical alternative in such a short time, Zoltán Kiszelly emphasized.
It is worthwhile for Hungary to disconnect from Russian energy once the alternative is in place. The government says it will take longer.Hungary also seems to be defending democracy when it refuses childish politics in Brussels to leak something to Politico on Monday and want to vote on Wednesday. It doesn’t work that way, especially on issues that aren’t so specific that they’re heartbreaking at the Politico and think they’re working out the public and every member is jumping for a click. The defense of democracy is that these proposals, which the Hungarian government is urging, must be thoroughly discussed.
Brussels is heating up energy inflation
Politics in Brussels is heating up energy inflation, Kiszelly said, adding that because of the galloping pace of sanctions, it seems as if Brussels is interested in making energy as expensive as possible in order to meet climate targets. They do not want to return to pre-Covid levels like the Hungarian government, but to reduce Europeans’ consumption and living standards to a third of pre-epidemic levels, because then climate goals could be met.
How can consumption be reduced substantially and quickly? he asked.
Mostly with energy inflation. The proposals for sanctions in Brussels (let’s get rid of coal in four months; Russian oil in six months and a plan to remove Russian natural gas within a year) are not pointing in the direction of a manageable situation, but suggest that they have different goals.
Klaus Schwab, founder of the Davos World Economic Forum, also wrote in his book that it is part of the pre-Covid level of consumption to halve the consumption of the developed world to meet climate targets. By heating energy inflation through sanctions, most will really only eat meat once a week and really only shower instead of bathing. If we secede from Russia too quickly and without an alternative, the price of petrol and EUR 15 per kilogram of meat would soon be EUR 5.
Here, what Mark-Zay said in the campaign fits in nicely with the globalist plans, according to calculations on the patient paper in Brussels, if we bathe less or just bathe, it means 4 billion cubic meters less Russian natural gas a year. If we eat meat once a week, it means 2 billion less cubic meters of gas
Kiszelly pointed out the startling numbers.
The aim of the sanctions is to break away from Russia’s energy dependence, which the proposed solution would push into a different kind of dependence. It would cost three times as much energy as if you had to buy LNG, or it would really cost € 5 a liter of fuel. For the French, yellow vests were already holding € 2 per liter in the autumn of 2018, but the price could be € 5 by the end of the year.
Hungary is pursuing a prudent policy
Hungary is pursuing a prudent policy, we support the goals of the union adopted by consensus, but according to the March decision, the 5-year-old Hungarian government is asking for a longer period. The speed is given by when the alternatives are available When everything is ready, you can obviously become a Russian fossil energy – Zoltán Kiszelly told Origo.
The Brussels strategy is currently a suicide, because the European Union, in the face of war, has helped to transform society to such an extent that it is contrary to common sense, economic rationality, the European way of life that has been used so far and really leads us to even greater conflicts. talk.
They wanted to push through sanctions so quickly that there was no need to talk about it. The Hungarian government must persevere because it offers an alternative to Brussels politics and democracy lives on the alternatives. As with migration with the border fence or Covid with oriental vaccines, Hungary now offers a viable alternative to ill-considered energy sanctions. Russia will be here after the war, and in this respect it must be borne in mind that some kind of economic relationship with Russia must be established after the war, taking into account geopolitical and economic rationalities.
