2. Orbán: Oil sanctions plan is ‘nuclear bomb’ for Hungarian economy
The EU's new sanctions plan amounts to "a nuclear bomb" for Hungary's economy, the country's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Friday.
With its proposed phaseout of Russian oil, the European Commission is attempting to impose a single rule on all 27 member countries, Orbán told public service radio channel Kossuth Rádió. That would pose a threat to the Hungarian economy because it ignores the local context, he said.
Under the most recent sanctions draft, which still has to be approved by all member countries, EU nations would have to phase out Russian oil by the end of the year. Hungary and Slovakia would get one extra year to do so.
