The left is a competitive disadvantage for Hungary
The minister in charge of the Prime Minister’s Office added that many countries in Western Europe buy a lot of raw materials from Russia. As he said, this cannot be changed from one moment to the next, the alternatives are more expensive and their availability is limited. Therefore, according to the head of the ministry, it was now a legitimate question whether the sanctions should be extended to the field of energy. Hungary took the position, and even continues to take the position, that the field of energy should not be sanctioned. Gergely Gulyás Europe made a strategic decision with the sanctions policy that is in the current situation.
The rules of the game of democracy are changing
– The rules of the game of democracy will change in the future. Mainly in those countries that depend on Russian energy, said Ludovic Orban. The former Prime Minister of Romania explained that although the blocking of Russian gas causes a huge problem from both economic and social points of view, blackmail should not be allowed.
– The political borderline must be found so that the energy industry can still function. A solution must also be sought to find alternative options, this dependency will be eliminated. It is clear that diversification is needed, explained the president of the Romanian National Liberal Party.
China and America win
– It seems that the countries of the region have not even begun to think about solving energy dependence. It is as if it were a law of nature that the countries of the region must be dependent and extremely export-driven. Sooner or later, we will pay the price if our country has to be paid to the extremes of some foreign interests. We may be faced with a serious problem that we can perhaps solve at the European level, but it is not certain, said András Schiffer. The ex-representative believes that the sanctions policy is certainly not in the interest of Europe.
– At the end of the day, it will be good for China, there are American companies that are doing well, and the aggressor will also profit. It must be stated that it is an unforgivable crime to invade a state and use violence against civilian targets. But let’s measure with equal standards.
On the other side, there is moral indignation, but international law has been trampled on by the West with its wars at least as much as the Putin regime
he explained.
You have to show strength
– We have lived too long under communist oppression to allow ourselves not to speak openly and directly. We can’t make the right decisions, we don’t place ourselves in the middle of the world’s processes. If the goal is for the EU to remain competitive and to remain at the decision-making table, then we must say that the EU must show a very unified approach – rules Zoltán Zakariás. According to the member of parliament of the Transylvanian Hungarian People’s Party, a community can only show its strength if it has autonomy.
According to him, such a strong unity must be created so strongly that the community can bring even countries in a weaker economic situation to catch up with the stronger ones.
– If it were a time of peace, then it would be possible to debate in much calmer conditions, but now the decision has to be made in more difficult conditions, so that there is no agreement between the two sides of Europe – concluded the representative.
