Balazs Orban: Yet Another Lesson in the Double Standards Used by the Pro-War Camp

The pro-war policy pursued by Brussels is once again applying double standards, said the Hungarian PM's Political Director. Balazs Orban pointed out that while Germany is asking the United States for an exemption from the sanctions on Russian oil in order to protect the country's energy security, Brussels continues to attack Hungary for doing the same.

"Berlin argues that these refineries are crucial for the country’s energy supply: ‘The sanctions threaten Germany’s energy security and could further weaken the economy.’ In other words, according to the Germans, sanctions imposed by the Americans on Russian energy are harmful, but those pushed by Brussels are desirable. Who can make sense of this?" he concluded.
